Estrogen receptor alpha mutations regulate gene expression and cell growth in breast cancer through microRNAs (NanoString)

ABSTRACT: Estrogen receptor α (ER) mutations occur in up to 30% of metastatic ER-positive breast cancers. Recent data has shown that ER mutations impact the expression of thousands of genes not typically regulated by wildtype ER. While the majority of these altered genes can be explained by constant activity of mutant ER or genomic changes such as altered ER binding and chromatin accessibility, as much as 33% remain unexplained, indicating the potential for post-transcriptional effects. Here we explored the role of microRNAs in mutant ER-driven gene regulation and identified several microRNAs that are dysregulated in ER mutant cells. These differentially regulated microRNAs target a significant portion of mutant-specific genes involved in key cellular processes. When the activity of microRNAs is altered using mimics or inhibitors, significant changes are observed in gene expression and cellular proliferation related to mutant ER. An in-depth evaluation of miR-301b led us to discover an important role for PRKD3 in the proliferation of ER mutant cells. Our findings show that microRNAs contribute to mutant ER gene regulation and cellular effects in breast cancer cells.

Phosphoproteome characterization of ESR1 mutated breast cancer cells

Project description:Three quarters of all breast cancer cases express the estrogen receptor (ER, ESR1 gene), which promotes tumor growth and constitutes a direct target for endocrine therapies. ESR1 mutations have been implicated in therapy resistance in metastatic breast cancers, in particular to aromatase inhibitors. ESR1 mutations promote constitutive ER activity and affect other signaling pathways, allowing cancer cells to proliferate by employing mechanisms within and outwith direct regulation by the ER. Although subjected to extensive genetic and transcriptomic analyses, understanding of protein alterations remains poorly investigated. Towards this, we employed an integrated mass spectrometry (MS) based proteomic approach to profile the protein and phosphoprotein differences in breast cancer cell lines expressing the frequent Y537N and Y537S ER mutations. Global proteome analysis revealed enrichment of mitotic and immune signaling pathways in ER mutant cells, while phosphoprotein analysis evidenced enriched activity of proliferation associated kinases, in particular CDKs and MTOR. Integration of protein expression and phosphorylation data revealed pathway-dependent discrepancies (motility vs proliferation) that were observed at varying degrees across mutant and wt ER cells. Additionally, protein expression and phosphorylation patterns, while under different regulation, still recapitulated the estrogen-independent phenotype of ER mutant cells.

GATA3 mutation disrupts functional network governed by Estrogen receptor, FOXA1 and GATA3

Project description:Estrogen Receptor (ER) is a steroid hormone receptor that regulates epithelial genes in breast cancer. ER forms a regulatory network with the other transcription factors, FOXA1 and GATA3. GATA3 is known to be capable of specifying chromatin localization of FOXA1 and ER. GATA3 has been identified as one of the most frequently mutated genes in breast cancer. However, how GATA3 mutations impact this transcriptional network is unknown. Here we investigate the function of one of the recurrent patient-derived GATA3 mutations (R330fs) for this regulatory network. Genomic analysis indicates that the R330fs mutant can disrupt the cooperative action of ER, FOXA1, and GATA3, and induce chromatin relocalization of these factors. Relocalizations of ER and FOXA1 are associated with altered chromatin architectures leading to differential gene expression in the GATA3 mutant cells. These results suggest the active role of GATA3 mutants in ER positive breast tumors.

Mutant p63 affects epidermal cell identity through rewiring the enhancer landscape

Project description:<p>Transcription factor p63 is a key regulator of epidermal keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. Mutations in the p63 DNA-binding domain are associated with Ectrodactyly Ectodermal Dysplasia Cleft Lip/Palate (EEC) syndrome. Underlying molecular mechanism of these mutations however remain unclear. Here we characterized the transcriptome and epigenome of p63 mutant keratinocytes derived from EEC patients. The transcriptome of p63 mutant keratinocytes deviated from the normal epidermal cell identity. Epigenomic analyses showed an altered enhancer landscape in p63 mutant keratinocytes contributed by loss of p63-bound active enhancers and by unexpected gain of enhancers. The gained enhancers were frequently bound by deregulated transcription factors such as RUNX1. Reversing RUNX1 overexpression partially rescued deregulated gene expression and the altered enhancer landscape. Our findings identify an unreported disease mechanism whereby mutant p63 rewires the enhancer landscape and affects epidermal cell identity, consolidating the pivotal role of p63 in controlling the enhancer landscape of epidermal keratinocytes.</p>

Allele-specific gene regulation, phenotypes, and therapeutic vulnerabilities in estrogen receptor alpha mutant endometrial cancer (xenograft RNA-seq)

Project description:Activating estrogen receptor alpha (ER) mutations are present in primary endometrial and metastatic breast cancers, promoting estrogen-independent activation of the receptor. Functional characterizations in breast cancer have established unique molecular and phenotypic consequences of the receptor, yet the impact of ER mutations in endometrial cancer has not been fully explored. In this study, we used CRISPR-Cas9 to model the clinically prevalent ER-Y537S mutation and compared results to ER-D538G to discover allele-specific differences between ER mutations in endometrial cancer. We found that constitutive activity of mutant ER resulted in changes in the expression of thousands of genes, stemming from combined alterations to ER binding and chromatin accessibility. The unique gene expression programs resulted in ER mutant cells developing increased cancer associated phenotypes, including migration, invasion, anchorage independent growth, and growth in vivo. To uncover potential treatment strategies, we identified ER associated proteins via Rapid Immunoprecipitation and Mass Spectrometry of Endogenous Proteins (RIME) and interrogated two candidates, CDK9 and NCOA3. Inhibition of these regulatory protein resulted in decreased growth and migration, representing potential novel treatment strategies for ER mutant endometrial cancer. Taken together, this study provides insight into ER mutant activity in endometrial cancer and identifies potential therapies for women with ER mutant endometrial cancer.
