Project description:Estrogen, specifically estradiol, has been shown to mediate DNA methylation changes at mutiple locations downstream of estrogen response elements (EREs). We identified differentially methylated regions associated with long-term estradiol exposure in the hippocampus of C57BL/6J mice. Hippocampus was collected from ovariectomized (OVX) C57BL/6J mice treated with estradiol (n=5) and vehicle controls (n=5). Genomic DNA was extracted and treated with methylation sensitive restriction enzymes HpaII and HinP1I to enrich for the unmethylated fraction. This fraction was interrogated using the Affymetrix GeneChip® Mouse Tiling Promoter 1.0R Array

Project description:Estrogen receptor-mediated proliferation of breast cancer cells is facilitated through expression of multiple primary target genes, products of which induce the secondary response to stimulation. To differentiate between the primary and secondary target genes of estrogen receptor signaling, we measured dynamics of protein expression induced by estradiol in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Measurement of the global proteomic effects of estradiol by SILAC resulted in identification of 104 estradiol-regulated proteins, with only 41 corresponding genes having estrogen response elements (EREs). Selected reaction monitoring assays were used to validate 32 proteins and measure the dynamics of their expression within 72 hours upon estradiol stimulation and in the presence of 4-hydroxytamoxifen, thus confirming estrogen receptor-mediated signaling. Dynamics of protein expression revealed immediate early response proteins including TFF1 and CDK1 and delayed response proteins including CDK2 and NAB2. Presence or absence of EREs in the corresponding genes indicated early or delayed expression of proteins identified by SILAC. Finally, we measured accurate dynamics of estradiol-induced protein expression in the sub-network of primary and secondary targets of estrogen receptor. Interestingly, since NAB2 protein is also a repressor of EGR3-induced transcription, siRNA-mediated silencing of NAB2 resulted in the over-expression of some EGR3-induced proteins, such as ITGA2. To conclude, quantitative proteomics revealed secondary targets of estrogen receptor signaling potentially overlooked by genome-wide profiling of EREs and provided dynamics of protein expression in the network of transcription factors with a negative feedback loop.

Project description:SET is a multifunctional histone-binding oncoprotein that regulates transcription by an unclear mechanism. Here, we show that SET enhances estrogen-dependent transcription. SET knockdown abrogates transcription of estrogen-responsive genes and their enhancer RNAs (eRNAs). In response to 17β-estradiol (E2), SET binds to the estrogen receptor α (ERα) and is recruited to estrogen receptor α (ERα)-bound enhancers and promoters at estrogen response elements (EREs). SET functions as a histone H2 chaperone that dynamically associates with H2A.Z via its acidic C-terminal domain and promotes H2A.Z incorporation, ERα, MLL1 and KDM3A loading and modulates histone methylation at EREs. SET depletion diminishes recruitment of condensin complexes to EREs and impairs E2-dependent enhancer-promoter looping. Thus, SET boosts E2-induced gene expression by establishing an active chromatin structure at ERα-bound enhancers and promoters, which is essential for transcriptional activation.

Project description:Estrogen induce organ-specific cell proliferation and development in female reproductive organs, though the reproductive differentiation, sex maturation, implantation and lactation. However, the mechanism of organ-specific estrogen responsive genes is unknown. Thus, we examined early estrogen responsive genes in mouse uterus, vagina and mammary gland. Keywords: organ specificity 70-day-old ovariectomized mice (C57BL/6J)(n=4) were treated with 17beta-estradiol (5micro g/kg) or sesame oil. Whole uterus (Ut), vagina (Vg) and mammary gland (Mg) were sacrificed 6h after the injection.

Project description:The estrogen receptor-α (ERα) is a transcription factor which plays a critical role in controlling cell proliferation and tumorigenesis by recruiting various cofactors to estrogen response elements (EREs) to induce or repress gene transcription. A deeper understanding of these transcriptional mechanisms may uncover novel therapeutic targets for ERα-dependent cancers. Here we show for the first time that BRD4 regulates ERα−induced gene expression by affecting elongation-associated phosphorylation of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII P-Ser2) and histone H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub1). Consistently, BRD4 activity is required for estrogen-induced proliferation of ER+ breast and endometrial cancer cells and uterine growth in mice. Genome-wide occupancy studies revealed an enrichment of BRD4 on transcriptional start sites as well as EREs enriched for H3K27ac and demonstrate a requirement for BRD4 for H2B monoubiquitination in the transcribed region of estrogen-responsive genes. Importantly, we further demonstrate that BRD4 occupancy correlates with active mRNA transcription and is required for the production of ERα-dependent enhancer RNAs (eRNAs). These results uncover BRD4 as a central regulator of ERα function and potential therapeutic target. ChIP-sequencing of BRD4, ERα and H2Bub1 in MCF7 cells treated with +/- estrogen treatment and or +/- JQ1 treatment in triplicates.

Project description:Estrogens are steroid hormones that play critical roles in the initiation, development, and metastasis of breast and uterine cancers. The estrogen (E2) response in breast cancer cells is predominantly mediated by the estrogen receptor-alpha (ER alpha), a ligand-activated transcription factor. ER alpha regulates transcription of target genes through direct binding to its cognate recognition sites, known as estrogen response elements (EREs), or by modulating the activity of other DNA-bound transcription factors at alternative DNA sequences. The proto-oncogene c-myc is upregulated by ER¦Á in response to E2 and encodes a transcription factor, c-MYC, which regulates a cascade of gene targets whose products mediate cellular transformation. This study aims at mapping the binding sites of these two transcription factors (ER alpha and c-MYC) in one ER alpha positive breast cancer cell line (MCF7 cell line). Keywords: ChIP-Chip Analysis

Project description:The estrogen receptor-M-NM-1 (ERM-NM-1) is a transcription factor which plays a critical role in controlling cell proliferation and tumorigenesis by recruiting various cofactors to estrogen response elements (EREs) to induce or repress gene transcription.

Here we show for the first time that BRD4 regulates ERM-NM-1M-bM-^HM-^Rinduced gene expression by affecting elongation-associated phosphorylation of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII P-Ser2) and histone H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub1).

Project description:The female menopause, characterised by reduced estrogen associates with an increased risk of recurrent UTIs caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). Clinically such infections can be countered by topical vaginal estrogen treatment and the aim of this study was to investigate, in vitro, the effects of topical estrogen treatment on vaginal epithelial responses following challenge with E.coli flagellin used to mimic UPEC. Immortalised vaginal epithelial cells (VK2 E6/E7), modelling the vaginal epithelium were treated with either 4nM 17β-estradiol (E) for seven days, 50ng/ml E.coli flagellin (F) for 12h, or 4nM 17β-estradiol plus 50ng/ml flagellin (E + F(12h)). RNA was analysed by microarray gene profiling using the Illumina HumanHT-12 v 4 Expression Beadchip. Following E + F treatments expression of genes encoding host defence molecules including DEFβ4A, DEFB103A, LCN2 as well as those associated with keratinisation e.g. CNFN and SPRR family genes were significantly enhanced (P<0.05) compared to either E or F treatments alone. Mutation of EREs identified in the DEFβ4 gene promoter abolished the augmented gene expression suggesting estrogen functioned directly through a transcriptional regulatory mechanism involving ESR1/2. Ingenuity pathway analyses also suggested the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17A to regulate the vaginal host defences during infection. Pre-treating VK2 E6/E7 cells with estrogen (4nM) and challenging with 1L-17A & F (12h) significantly enhanced DEFβ4, DEF103A and S100A7 expression (P<0.05). Origins of vaginal IL-17 in vivo remain unclear, but vaginal biopsy material suggests gd T cells located within the vaginal epithelium. These data suggest that the vaginal antimicrobial response induced by flagellin activation of TLR5 cell signalling is augmented significantly by topical estrogen treatment.
