RERG is a novel ras-related, estrogen-regulated and growth-inhibitory gene in breast cancer

ABSTRACT: Using microarray analysis, we identified a unique ras superfamily gene, termed RERG (ras-related and estrogen-regulated growth inhibitor), whose expression was decreased or lost in a significant percentage of primary human breast tumors that show a poor clinical prognosis. Importantly, high RERG expression correlated with expression of a set of genes that define a breast tumor subtype that is estrogen receptor-positive and associated with a slow rate of tumor cell proliferation and a favorable prognosis for these cancer patients. RERG mRNA expression was induced rapidly in MCF-7 cells stimulated by beta-estradiol and repressed by tamoxifen treatment. Like Ras, RERG protein exhibited intrinsic GDP/GTP binding and GTP hydrolysis activity. Unlike Ras proteins, RERG lacks a known recognition signal for COOH-terminal prenylation and was localized primarily in the cytoplasm. Expression of RERG protein in MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells resulted in a significant inhibition of both anchorage-dependent and anchorage-independent growth in vitro and inhibited tumor formation in nude mice. These features of RERG are strikingly different from most Ras superfamily GTP-binding pro-teins and suggest that the loss of RERG expression may contribute to breast tumorigenesis.

Expression data of hormone-responsive MCF-7 cells versus estrogen-deprived MCF-7:5C and MCF-7:2A breast cancer cells

Project description:Estrogen deprivation using aromatase inhibitors is currently the standard of care for patients with estrogen-receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. Unfortunately, prolonged estrogen deprivation leads to drug resistance (i.e. hormone-independent growth). We therefore used DNA microarray analysis to study the gene expression profiles of wild-type MCF-7 cells (which are sensitive to antihormone therapy) and long-term estrogen deprived MCF-7:5C and MCF-7:2A breast cancer cells (which are resistance to estrogen-deprivation; aromatase inhibitor resistant). Transcriptional profiling of wild-type MCF-7 cells and estrogen deprived MCF-7:5C and MCF-7:2A cells was performed using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array.

Proteomic analysis of human mammospheres treated with lysine and estradiol

Project description:Despite anti-estrogen therapy, almost 30% of estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer patients relapse. Amino acids (AAs) in the tumor microenvironment may affect the metastatic capacity of breast cancer cells. Essential AAs (EAAs) cannot be produced by human cells and might therefore be targetable as therapeutics. By using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry we identified the ribophorin-2 (RPN2) and the splicing factor U2AF 35 kDa subunit (U2AF1) as the most significantly affected proteins after lysine and estradiol (E2) exposure in T47D and MCF-7 mammospheres, respectively. RPN2 and U2AF1 were identified as prognostic factors for patient survival in breast cancer databases.

Modeling the ESR1 tyrosine 537 mutation with CRISPR-Cas9 for mechanistic studies and evaluation of therapeutic approaches for metastatic breast cancer [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Estrogen receptor-α (ERα) is an important driver of breast cancer and is the target for hormonal therapies, anti-estrogens and drugs that limit estrogen biosynthesis (aromatase inhibitors). Mutations in the ESR1 gene identified in metastatic breast cancer provide a potential mechanism for acquired resistance to hormone therapies. We have used CRISPR-Cas9 mediated genome editing in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line, generating MCF-7-Y537S. MCF-7-Y537S cells encode a wild-type (tyrosine 537) and a mutant (serine 537) allele. Growth of the line is estrogen-independent and expression of ERα target genes is elevated in the absence of estrogen. ER ChIP-seq was carried out to map global ERα binding sites in the presence and absence of estrogen. RNA-seq following estrogen treatment was used for gene expression analysis. We show that expression of ER target genes and ER recruitment to ER binding regions is similar in MCF-7 and MCF-7-Y537S cells, except that ER recruitment to DNA and expression of ER target genes is frequently elevated in the absence of estrogen.

RNA-seq analysis of scat (CbyJ.Cby-Rasa3scat/Llp) and matched control mice in bone marrow and spleen

Project description:RASA3 (RAS p21 protein activator 3), also called GAPIII or IP4BP (inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate, IP4, binding protein), is a member of the GAP1 family of RAS-GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). The RAS superfamily of small GTPases includes the subfamily RAP. Small GTPases act as molecular switches, cycling between active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound forms. They are activated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), which stimulate GTP loading, and inactivated by GAPs, which accelerate GTP hydrolysis. A major role of RASA3 in hematopoiesis was first identified upon positional cloning of the co-isogenic autosomal recessive mouse mutation, scat (severe combined anemia and thrombocytopenia. The scat phenotype, in addition to severe anemia and thrombocytopenia, includes significant leukopenia as well. The scat disease progresses episodically, with periods of severe crisis interspersed with one or two periods of remission. The RASA3 mutation (G125V) in scat causes mislocalization of RASA3 to the cytosol, abrogating RASA3 GAP activity and increasing active RAS levels in scat erythroid cells. As part of a broader study to analyze the role of RASA3 in hematopoiesis, we performed RNAseq studies to generate hypotheses regarding the progression of the scat disease from periods of crisis to partial remission.
