Project description:Major roadblocks to developing effective progesterone receptor (PR)-targeted therapies in breast cancer include the lack of highly-specific PR modulators, a poor understanding of the pro- or anti-tumorigenic networks for PR isoforms and ligands, and an incomplete understanding of the cross talk between PR and estrogen receptor (ER) signaling. Through genomic analyses of xenografts treated with various clinically-relevant ER and PR-targeting drugs, we describe how the activation or inhibition of PR dictates distinct ER and PR chromatin binding and differentially reprograms estrogen signaling, resulting in the segregation of transcriptomes into separate PR agonist and antagonist-mediated groups. These findings address an ongoing controversy regarding the clinical utility of PR agonists and antagonists, alone or in combination with tamoxifen, for breast cancer management. Genomic analyses of the two PR isoforms, PRA and PRB, indicate that these isoforms bind distinct genomic sites and interact with different sets of co-regulators to differentially modulate gene expression as well as pro- or anti-tumorigenic phenotypes. Of the two isoforms, PRA inhibited gene expression and ER chromatin binding significantly more than PRB. Of note, the two isoforms reprogrammed estrogen activity to be either pro or anti-tumorigenic. In concordance to the in-vitro observations, differential gene expression was observed in PRA and PRB-rich patient tumors and importantly, PRA-rich gene signatures had poorer survival outcomes. In support of antiprogestin responsiveness of PRA-rich tumors, gene signatures associated with PR antagonists, but not PR agonists, predicted better survival outcomes. This differential of better patient survival associated with PR antagonists versus PR agonists treatments was further reflected in the higher anti-tumor activity of combination therapies of tamoxifen with PR antagonists and modulators. Knowledge of various determinants of PR action and their interactions with estrogen signaling to differentially modulate breast cancer biology should serve as a guide to the development of biomarkers for patient selection and translation of PR-targeted therapies to the clinic.

Project description:Progesterone receptor (PR) isoforms, PRA and PRB, both progesterone-independent and dependent modulated the biology of breast cancer cells. The different phenotypes in breast cancer mediated by PRA and PRB could due to the differences of their structures, leading to the distinct protein interacting partners and downstream signaling events of each receptor. Here, we constructed Tet-inducible HA-tagged PRA or HA-tagged PRB in T47DC42 breast cancer cells. We performed affinity purification coupled with SILAC mass spectrometry technique to comprehensively study PRA and PRB interacting partners in both liganded and unliganded conditions. To validate our findings, we applied both forward and reverse SILAC to effectively minimize experimental errors. These datasets will be useful in investigating PRA- and PRB-specific molecular mechanisms and can potentially be used as a database for subsequent experiments to identify novel PRA and PRB interacting proteins that differentially mediated different biological functions in breast cancer cells.

The study suggests that distinguishing common effects observed due to concomitant interaction of another receptor with its ligand (agonist or antagonist) from unique isoform and ligand-specific effects will guide the development of biomarkers for patient selection and translation of PR-targeted therapies to the clinic.

Project description:The progesterone receptor isoforms PRA and PRB are implicated in breast cancer development and metastasis. Expression ratio PRA/PRB is imbalanced in such cancers under the influence of MAPK-dependent extracellular stimuli that strongly impact progesterone-responsiveM- transcriptional regulation. In order to determine the isoform-specific regulated genes M- in a metastatic cancer cell, we established the iPRAB cell line derived from MDA-MB-231 mammary cancer cells (ER-, PR-). This cell lineM- conditionally expressed PRA and/or PRB under the control of RSL1 and doxycycline (Dox) non-steroid ligands, respectively, in a dose-dependent manner. The bi-inducible expression system was generated using a combination of the Rheoswitch (NE Biolabs) and T-Rex (Invitrogen) vector systems as described in the article. We investigated the transcriptomes obtained in cells treated by either RSL1 (for PRA), or Dox (for PRB), or RSL1 + Dox (for PRA + PRB) for 24 h and then by either 10 nM progesterone (+) or vehicle (-) for 6 h. Control experiments were obtained from cells grown in the absence of RSL1, doxycycline and in the presence of progesterone (O+) or vehicle (O-). Experimental conditions of PRA/PRB expression ratio were ranged from 0.1 to 10, and the maximum expression of a given isoform was set to 300 fmol per mg proteins following 24 h induction. After removing redundant probes and pseudogens, the processed data identified 1014 distinct regulated genes subdivised in 3 classes : genes responding either only to unliganded PR isoforms (-), or only to liganded (+) or to both conditions (mixed M-1). Each classe was subdivided according to isoform specificity criteria (A, B, AB, A&B, A&AB, B&AB, A&B&AB) leading to define 3X7 clusters of genes per classe. Each subset was then further analyzed by complete hierarchical clustering through up or down-regulation criteria. These data indicated that PR target genes selectivity is highly dependent of PRA/PRB expression ratio as well as ligand status and highlight the major impact of PR on transcriptional regulation of genes involved in breast cancer and metastasis.

Project description:Progesterone receptor (PR) is expressed from a single gene as two isoforms, PRA and PRB. In normal breast human tissue, PRA and PRB are expressed in equimolar ratios, but isoform ratio is altered during malignant progression, usually leading to high PRA:PRB ratios. We took advantage of a transgenic mouse model where PRA isoform is predominant (PRA transgenics) and identified the key transcriptional events and associated pathways underlying the preneoplastic phenotype in mammary glands of PRA transgenics as compared with normal wild-type littermates.

Project description:Background: Preclinical data suggest that antiprogestins inhibit the growth of luminal breast carcinomas expressing higher levels of progesterone receptor isoform A (PRA) than isoform B (PRB). Thus, we designed a pre-surgical window of opportunity trial to determine the therapeutic effects of mifepristone in breast cancer patients selected by their high PRA/PRB isoform ratio (MIPRA; NCT02651844). Patients and Methods. Twenty patients bearing luminal breast carcinomas with PRA/PRB>1.5 (determined by Western blots), and PR ≥50%, naive from previous treatment, were included for mifepristone treatment (200 mg/day p.o.; 14 days). Core needle biopsies (CNB) and surgical samples were formalin-fixed for immunohistochemical studies, and others were snap-frozen to perform RNA-Seq, proteomics, and/or Western blots studies. Plasma mifepristone levels were determined by mass spectrometry. The primary endpoint was the comparison of Ki-67 expression pre- and post-treatment. Results: A 49.62% decrease in Ki-67 staining was registered in all surgical specimens compared to baseline (p=0.0003). Using the pre-specified response parameter (30% relative reduction) we identified 14/20 responders. Mifepristone induced gland differentiation, an increase in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, a decrease in hormone receptors and pSer118ER expression, and an increase in calregulin, p21, p15, and activated caspase3 expression. RNA-Seq and proteomics studies identified downregulated pathways related to cell proliferation and upregulation of those related to immune bioprocesses and extracellular matrix re-modeling pathways. Conclusion: Our results support the use of mifepristone in luminal breast cancer patients with high PRA/PRB ratios. The combined effects of mifepristone with estrogen receptor modulators deserves clinic evaluation in these patients, to improve endocrine treatment responsiveness.

Project description:Progestins have long been used clinically for the treatment of endometrial cancers, however, the response rates to progestin therapy vary and the molecular mechanisms behind progestin insensitivity are poorly understood. We hypothesized that in PTEN mutated endometrial cancers, hyperactive Akt signaling downregulates Progesterone Receptor B (PRB) transcriptional activity, leading to overall impaired progestin responses. We report that knockdown of Akt is sufficient to upregulate a subset of PRB target genes.
