Project description:Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and AR downstream signalings promote prostate cancer cell proliferation. We identified RUNX1 is an androgen-regulated gene. In order to investigate the RUNX1 function in prostate cancer cells, we performed gene expression in AR-positive prostate cancer cell lines after siRUNX1 treatment. We also treated cells with vehicle or androgen to analyzed the effects of RUNX1 on AR function. Observation of androgen dependent gene expression changes after treatmet with siRNAs targeting RUNX1 with microarray.

Project description:Estradiol (E2) and relaxin (Rln) are steroid and polypeptide hormones, respectively, with important roles in the female reproductive tract, including myometrium. Some actions of Rln, which are mediated by its membrane receptor RXFP1, require or are augmented by E2 signaling through its cognate nuclear steroid receptor, estrogen receptor alpha (ER⍺). In contrast, other actions of Rln act in opposition to the effects of E2. Here we explore the molecular and genomic mechanisms that underlie the functional interplay between E2 and Rln in the myometrium. We used both ovariectomized female mice and immortalized human myometrial cells expressing wild type or mutant ER⍺ (hTERT-HM-ER⍺ cells). Our results indicate that Rln attenuates the genomic actions and biological effects of estrogen in the myometrium and myometrial cells by reducing phosphorylation ER⍺ on serine 118 (S118). Interestingly, we observed a potent inhibitory effect of Rln on the E2-dependent binding of ER⍺ across the genome. The reduction in ER⍺ binding was associated with changes in the hormone-regulated transcriptome, including a decrease in the E2-dependent expression of neighboring genes. The inhibitory effects of Rln cotreatment on the E2-dependent phosphorylation of ER⍺ required the nuclear dual-specificity phosphatases DUSP1 and DUSP5. Moreover, the inhibitory effects of Rln were reflected in a concomitant inhibition of the E2-dependent contraction of myometrial cells. Collectively, our results identify a pathway that integrates Rln/RXFP1 and E2/ER⍺ signaling, resulting in a convergence of membrane and nuclear signaling pathways to control genomic and biological outcomes.

Project description:Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in women worldwide. Through the regulation of many coding and non-coding target genes, estrogen (E2 or 17b-estradiol) and its nuclear receptor ERα play important roles in breast cancer development and progression. Despite intensive studies on estrogen-regulated coding genes over the past decades, molecular mechanisms underlying estrogen-regulated non-coding RNAs in breast cancer remain to be elucidated. Here, we performed extensive epigenomic studies including GRO-seq and ATAC-seq, and identified genome-wide estrogen-regulated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Similar to the coding targets of ERα, the transcription of estrogen-regulated lncRNAs correlates with the activation status of ERα-bound enhancers, measured by eRNA production, chromatin accessibility, and the occupancy of the enhancer regulatory components including P300, MED1, and ARID1B. Our 3D chromatin architecture analyses suggest that lncRNAs and their neighboring E2-resonsive coding genes, exemplified by LINC00160 and RUNX1, might be regulated as a 3D structural unit resulted from enhancer-promoter interactions. Finally, we evaluated the expression levels of LINC00160 and RUNX1 in various types of breast cancer and found that their expression positively correlated with the survival rate in ER+ breast cancer patients, implying that the estrogen-regulated LINC00160 and its neighboring RUNX1 might represent potential biomarkers for ER+ breast cancers.

Project description:Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of mortality in women. Abnormal growth of smooth muscle cells and endothelial damage contributes to the thickening of the blood vessels and vascular occlusion. Estradiol prevents vascular remodleing by promoting EC growth and inhibiting SMC growth. Recent studies suggest that circulating (bone marrow derived) progenitor cells also contribute to the vascular remodeling process. Whether estradiol could, in part, induce its protective actions by inhibiting P-SMC growth remains unknown. In this study, progenitor smooth muscle cells (P-SMCs) and endothelial (P-ECs) grown from CD34+ progenitor cells (PC) magnetically separated from human cord blood derived mononuclear cells. P-SMC and P-EC cell colonies were grown and characterized for SMC and EC markers. Cultured cells were further used to assess the effects of 17β-estradiol (E2; 10nM) on their growth and gene expression. Briefly, P-SMCs or P-ECs were treated with or without 10 nM E2 for 0, 4 or 30 hours in DMEM-F12 supplemented with 2.5% FCS (steroid-free; SF). Subsequently, total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN) processed for gene analysis. Treatment of P-SMCs with E2 inhibited 2.5% SF-serum -induced growth (DNA synthesis and cell number), whereas, E2 induced cell growth in P-ECs. The growth effects of E2 in P-SMCs and P-ECs were mimicked by ER-α agonist and blocked by ER-α antagonist. The differential effects of E2 on P-SMC and P-EC growth were also reflected in ERK1/2 and Akt phosphorylation and in positive and negative regulators of cell cycle. Gene analysis revealed that P-SMCs expressed SMC alpha actin (ACTA2) where as P-ECs expressed CD34, FLT1 and vWF, confirming the differentiation of progenitor cells to SMCs and ECs. Treatment with E2 for 30 hours regulated 1791 in P-SMCs and 220 in P-ECs, with 36 that were common. Volcano analysis showed that treatment with E2 for 30 hours differentially expressed multiple genes, importantly, estradiol significantly upregulated antimitogenic pathways and downregulated proproliferative pathways in P-SMC and P-ECs, respectively. Contrasting effects of E2 were also observed in multiple ingenuity canonical pathways that were up or downregulated in P-SMCs and P-ECs. Findings from both growth and gene expression studies provide evidence that etradiol may induce its vascular protective actions by inhibiting P-SMC activity and improving P-EC activity. Interestingly, in perpheral blood estradiol decreasd the number of c-kit+ cells and increased CD34+ cells. Since these cells evolve into SMCs and ECs respectively, our findings provide evidence that estradiol may induce its anti-occlusive actions by differentially regulating P-SMC and P-EC activity and numbers.

Project description:Emerging evidence suggests that estrogen and prolactin (PRL) play a key role in prostate cancer development, yet their relationship and molecular actions in prostate is not well understood. To address this issue, we made the first direct comparison of estrogen and PRL actions in the Noble rat (NBL) prostate dysplasia model. Prostatic dysplasia in lateral prostate (DLP) has been induced by elevated circulating levels of estrogen and PRL in NBL with estrogen (E2)-filled implants, while physiological level of testosterone (T) was maintained with T-filled implants. The effect of estrogen and PRL was studied by using ICI and bromocriptine (Br) as their respective blockers, both can effectively inhibited dysplasia development under T+E2 induction. Transcript expression profile of the four treatment groups (Control, T+E2, T+E2+Br, and T+E2+ICI) has been characterized in this array.

Project description:Analysis of reciprocal modulation of Runx2 and E2 signaling in BCA. Our objective was to investigate whether the interaction between estrogen and Runx2 signaling in breast cancer (BCa) could help refine an estrogen-responsive gene signature with improved prognostic value. MCF7/Rx2dox BCa cells conditionally expressing Runx2 upon doxycycline treatment were treated with estradiol and/or doxycycline to induce Runx2, and global gene expression was profiled to define genes regulated by estradiol, Runx2, or both.

Project description:Rationale: Tamoxifen prevents the recurrence of breast cancer and is also beneficial against bone demineralization and arterial diseases, as it acts as an Estrogen Receptor (ER) α antagonist in ER-positive breast cancers, whereas it mimics the protective action of 17β-estradiol (E2) in other tissues such as arteries. However, the mechanisms of these tissue-specific actions remain unclear. Objective: Here we tested whether tamoxifen is able to accelerate endothelial healing and analyzed the underlying mechanisms. Methods and Results: Using three complementary mouse models of carotid artery injury, we demonstrated that both tamoxifen and estradiol accelerated endothelial healing, but only tamoxifen required the presence of the underlying medial smooth muscle cells. Chronic treatment with E2 and tamoxifen elicited differential gene expression profiles in the carotid artery. The use of transgenic models mouse targeting either whole ERα in a cell-specific manner or ERα subfunctions (membrane/extra-nuclear versus genomic/transcriptional) demonstrated that E2-induced acceleration of endothelial healing is mediated by membrane ERα in endothelial cells, while the effect of tamoxifen is mediated by the nuclear actions of ERα in smooth muscle cells. Conclusion: Whereas tamoxifen acts as an anti-estrogen and ERα antagonist in breast cancer, but also on the membrane ERα of endothelial cells, it accelerates endothelial healing through activation of nuclear ERα in smooth muscle cells, inviting to revisit the mechanisms of action of selective modulation of ERα.

Project description:Treatment with the breast cancer drug tamoxifen confers a risk of developing uterine tumors or other endometrial pathologies. Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator, which demonstrates tissue-specific activity although the mechanisms remain poorly understood. Both estradiol and tamoxifen act as estrogen agonists on the human uterus, and therefore have the potential to promote carcinogenicity. Estradiol and tamoxifen elicit cellular responses via the estrogen receptors (ER), which are involved in multiple signalling pathways. The effects at the molecular level are further influenced by the differential recruitment of co-factors and the presence of specific promoter motifs in target genes. In this study, ER positive (+) Ishikawa cells are used as a model to investigate the overall effect of treatment with either 17b-estradiol or 4-hydroxytamoxifen on the gene expression profiles. Ishikawa cells were serum-starved for 72 hours prior to treatment with 10-8M 17b-estradiol (E2) or 10-6M 4-hydroxytamoxifen (tam) for 24 or 48 hours. Cells were collected for total RNA extraction, and the quality and quantity of the RNA was determined spectrophotometrically. cDNA was prepared from treated (tam or E2) and control (vehicle only) Ishikawa cells, and was both forward and reverse labelled using Cy-3 dUTP/ Cy-5 dUTP and hybridised to oligo microarray slides representing >19,000 human genes (MRC HGMP-RFC). The data were analysed using GenePix Pro 3.0 software (Axon instruments) and statistical analyses applied to select significant gene changes (p<0.05).
