Project description:Analysis of MCF-7 cells treated for 4h with Ethanol, Estradiol (E2), Dexamethasone (Dex), or Estradiol + Dexamethasone (E2 + Dex) In estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer (BC), high tumor glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression has been associated with a relatively poor outcome. In contrast, using a meta-analysis of several genomic datasets, here we find that tumor GR mRNA expression is associated with improved ER+ relapse-free survival (RFS) (independently of progesterone receptor (PR) expression). To understand the mechanism by which GR expression is associated with a better ER+ BC outcome, the global effect of GR-mediated transcriptional activation in ER+ BC cells was studied. Analysis of GR chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) in ER+/GR+ MCF-7 cells revealed that upon co-activation of GR and ER, GR chromatin association became enriched at proximal promoter regions. Furthermore, following ER activation, increased association of GR was observed at ER, FOXO, and AP1 response elements. In addition, it was determined that ER associated with GR response elements, suggesting that ER and GR interact in a complex. Co-activation of GR and ER resulted in increased expression (relative to ER activation alone) of transcripts that encode proteins promoting cellular differentiation (e.g. KDM4B, VDR) and inhibiting Wnt-signaling (IGFBP4). Finally, expression of these individual pro-differentiation genes was associated with significantly improved RFS in ER+ BC patients. Together, these data demonstrate that the co-expression and subsequent activity of tumor cell GR and ER contribute to the less aggressive natural history of early-stage BC by coordinating the altered expression of genes favoring differentiation. Four treatment samples (Vehicle V, Dex D, E2, or Dex+E2). Three biological replicate experiments per sample. Vehicle sample is Ethanol control.

Project description:HGU133+2.0 Microarray on TNBC cells (MDA-MB-231) treated for 4, 8, or 12h with vehicle, 100nM dexamethasone, 100nM Dex/100nM Mifepristone, or 100nM Dex/100nM CORT108297 Purpose: Although high glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression in early-stage estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer (BC) is associated with shortened relapse-free survival (RFS), how associated GR transcriptional activity contributes to aggressive BC behavior is not well understood. Using potent GR antagonists and primary tumor gene expression data, we sought to identify a tumor-relevant gene signature based on GR activity that would be more predictive than GR expression alone. Design: Global gene expression and GR ChIP-sequencing were performed to identify GR-regulated genes inhibited by two chemically distinct GR antagonists, mifepristone and CORT108297. Differentially expressed genes from MDA-MB-231 cells were cross-evaluated with significantly expressed genes in GR-high versus GR-low ER-negative primary BCs. The resulting subset of GR targeted genes was analyzed in two independent ER-negative BC cohorts to derive and then validate the GR activity signature (GRsig). Results: Gene expression pathway analysis of glucocorticoid-regulated genes (inhibited by GR antagonism) revealed cell survival and invasion functions. GR ChIP-seq analysis demonstrated that GR antagonists decreased GR chromatin association for a subset of genes. A GRsig comprised of n=74 GR activation-associated genes (also reversed by GR antagonists) was derived from an adjuvant chemotherapy-treated Discovery cohort and found to predicted probability of relapse in a separate Validation cohort (HR=1.9; p= 0.012). Conclusions: The GRsig discovered herein identifies high-risk ER-negative/GR-positive BCs most likely to relapse despite administration of adjuvant chemotherapy. Because GR antagonism can reverse expression of these genes, we propose that addition of a GR antagonist to chemotherapy may improve outcome of these high-risk patients.

Project description:Dexamethasone (DEX), a synthetic ligand for glucocorticoid receptor (GR), is routinely used to stimulate adipogenesis in culture. GR-depleted preadipocytes show adipogenesis defects one week after induction of differentiation. However, it has remained unclear whether GR is required for adipogenesis in vivo. By deleting GR in precursors of brown adipocytes, we found unexpectedly that GR is dispensable for brown adipose tissue development in mice. In culture, GR-deficient primary or immortalized white and brown preadipocytes showed severely delayed adipogenesis one week after induction of differentiation. However, when differentiation was extended to 3 weeks, GR-deficient preadipocytes showed similar levels of adipogenesis marker expression and lipid accumulation as the wild type cells, indicating that DEX-bound GR accelerates, but is dispensable for, adipogenesis. Consistently, DEX accelerates, but is dispensable for, adipogenesis in culture. We show that DEX-bound GR accelerates adipogenesis by directly promoting the expression of adipogenic transcription factors C/EBPb, C/EBPd, C/EBPa, KLF5, KLF9 and PPARg in the early phase of differentiation. Mechanistically, DEX-bound GR recruits histone H3K27 acetyltransferase CBP to promote activation of C/EBPb-primed enhancers of adipogenic genes. These results clarify the role of GR in adipogenesis in vivo and demonstrate that DEX-mediated activation of GR accelerates, but is dispensable for, adipogenesis.

Project description:The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a crucial drug target in multiple myeloma as its activation with glucocorticoids effectively triggers myeloma cell death. However, as high-dose glucocorticoids are also associated with deleterious side effects, novel approaches are urgently needed to improve GR’s action in myeloma. Here we reveal a functional crosstalk between GR and the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) that culminates in improved myeloma cell killing. We show that the GR agonist Dexamethasone (Dex) downregulates MR levels in a GR-dependent way in myeloma cells. Co-treatment of Dex with the MR antagonist Spironolactone (Spi) enhances Dex-induced cell killing in primary, newly diagnosed GC-sensitive myeloma cells, while in a relapsed GC-resistant setting, Spi alone induces distinct myeloma cell killing. On a mechanistic level, we find that a GR-MR crosstalk is arising from an endogenous interaction between GR and MR in myeloma cells. Quantitative dimerization assays show that Spi reduces Dex-induced GR-MR heterodimerization and completely abolishes Dex-induced MR MR homodimerization but leaves GR-GR homodimerization intact. Unbiased transcriptomics further reveals that c-myc and many of its target genes are downregulated most by Dex and Spi combined, while proteomics analyses identify that several metabolic hallmarks are modulated most by this combination treatment. Finally, we identified a subset of Dex+Spi downregulated genes and proteins that may predict prognosis in the CoMMpass patient cohort. Our study demonstrates that GR-MR crosstalk is therapeutically relevant in myeloma as it provides novel strategies towards glucocorticoid-based dose-reduction.

Project description:Here we have analyzed the role of interferon regulatory factor-2 binding protein-2 (IRF2BP2) in glucocorticoid and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) signaling. We used ChIP-seq to analyze chromatin binding of IRF2BP2 in glucocorticoid (dexamethasone, dex) and vehicle treated HEK293 cells expressing GR (HEK293-GR). Furthermore, we used RNA-seq to analyze how silencing of IRF2BP2 modulates transcriptional responses to dex treatment in HEK293-GR cells, and dex, TNF and co-treatment (dex and TNF, DT) in A549 cells.
