Estrogen receptor α promotes breast cancer by reprogramming cell metabolism [gene expression]

ABSTRACT: Estrogen receptor α (ERα) is a key regulator of breast growth and breast cancer development. However, the role of ERα in metabolic reprogramming, a hallmark of cancer, is not well documented. In this study, using an integrated approach combining genome-wide mapping of chromatin bound ERα with estrogen induced transcript and metabolic profiling, we demonstrate that ERα reprograms metabolism upon estrogen stimulation, including changes in aerobic glycolysis, nucleotide and amino acid synthesis, and choline metabolism. We show, for the first time, that the ERα target gene choline phosphotransferase 1 (CHPT1) plays an essential role in estrogen induced increases in phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) levels and that CHPT1 promotes tumorigenesis and proliferation. Furthermore, we show that CHPT1 is overexpressed in tumors compared to normal breast. We also demonstrate that ERα promotes aerobic glycolysis through increased expression of glycolytic genes. In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of ERα for metabolic alterations in breast cancer cells. Furthermore, overexpression of the ERα target CHPT1 in breast cancer supports its potential as a therapeutic target.

Nuclear Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα) interactome following estrogen and antiestrogen treatment.

Project description:The Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα) controls key cellular functions in hormone responsive breast cancer by assembling in large functional multiprotein complexes. ERα ligands are classified as agonists and antagonist, according to the response they elicit, thus the molecular characterization of the of ERα nuclear iteractome composition following estrogen and antiestrogen stimulation whose is needed to understand their effects on estrogen target tissues, in particular breast cancer. To this aim interaction proteomics coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) was applied to map the ERα nuclear interacting partners in MCF7 breast cancer cell nuclei following estrogen and antiestrogen stimuli.

Ctr9, a key subunit of PAFc, affects global estrogen signaling and drives ERalpha-positive breast tumorigenesis

Project description:The human RNA polymerase II-associated factor complex (hPAFc) and its individual subunits have been implicated in human diseases including cancer. However, its involvement in breast cancer cells awaits investigation. Using data mining and human breast cancer tissue microarrays, we found that Ctr9, the key scaffold subunit in hPAFc, is highly expressed in ERα+ luminal breast cancer and the high expression of Ctr9 correlates with poor prognosis. Knockdown of Ctr9 in ERα+ breast cancer cells almost completely erased estrogen regulated transcriptional response. At the molecular level, Ctr9 enhances ERα protein stability, promotes recruitment of ERα and RNAPII and stimulates transcription elongation and transcription-coupled histone modifications. Knockdown of Ctr9, but not other hPAFc subunits, alters the morphology, proliferative capacity and tamoxifen-sensitivity of ERα+ breast cancer cells. Together, our study reveals that Ctr9, a key subunit of hPAFc, is a central regulator of estrogen signaling that drives ERα+ breast tumorigenesis, rendering it a potential target for the treatment of ERα+ breast cancer.

Co-regulated gene expression by estrogen receptor-α and liver receptor homolog-1 is a feature of the estrogen response in breast cancer cells

Project description:Estrogen receptor α (ERα) is a nuclear receptor that is the driving transcription factor expressed in the majority of breast cancers. Recent studies have demonstrated that the liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1), another nuclear receptor, is ERα-regulated in breast cancer cells. Further, LRH-1 stimulates proliferation and promotes motility and invasion of breast cancer cells. To determine the mechanisms of LRH-1 action in breast cancer cells, we carried out gene expression microarray analysis following siRNA-mediated LRH-1 knockdown. Interestingly, gene ontology (GO) category enrichment analysis of the genes differentially regulated in the presence or absence of LRH-1 identified estrogen responsive genes as the most highly enriched GO categories. To further define LRH-1 target genes, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to massively parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) to identify genomic targets of LRH-1. Remarkably, ChIP-seq showed LRH-1 binding at many ERα binding sites. Analysis of select binding sites confirmed regulation of ERα-regulated genes by LRH-1 through binding to estrogen response elements, as exemplified by the TFF1/pS2 gene. Finally, LRH-1 over-expression stimulated ERα recruitment, whilst LRH-1 knockdown reduced ERα recruitment to ERα binding sites. Taken together, our findings establish a key role for LRH-1 in the regulation of ERα target genes in breast cancer cells and identify a mechanism in which co-operative binding of LRH-1 and ERα at estrogen response elements controls the expression of estrogen-responsive genes.

A super enhancer-controlled BRD4/ERα-RET-ERα positive feedback loop promotes ERα-positive breast cancer [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Dysregulated estrogen and estrogen receptor (ER)-induced gene transcription is tightly associated with estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-positive breast carcinogenesis. ERα-occupied enhancers, particularly super enhancers, have been suggested to play a vital role in such transcriptional events. However, the landscape of ERα-occupied super enhancers (ERSEs) as well as key super enhancer-associated genes remain to be fully characterized. Here, we defined the landscape of ERSEs in MCF7, a ERα-positive breast cancer cell line, and demonstrated that bromodomain protein BRD4 is a master regulator of the transcriptional activation of ERSE and cognate ERα-target genes. Furthermore, RET, a member of the tyrosine protein kinase family of proteins, was identified to be a key target gene of BRD4-regulated ERSEs, which is vital for estrogen/ ERα-induced gene transcriptional activation and malignant phenotypes through activating the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK-p90RSK-ERα phosphorylation cascade. Accordingly, combination therapy with BRD4 and RET inhibitors exhibited synergistic effects on suppressing ERα-positive breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, our data uncovered the critical role of a super enhancer-associated BRD4/ERα-RET-ERα positive feedback loop in ERα-positive breast cancer, and targeting components in this loop will provide new therapeutic avenue for treating ERα-positive breast cancer in the clinic.

Proteasome inhibition blocks estrogen-dependent gene transcription by decreasing histone H2B monoubiquitination in human breast cancer cells

Project description:The estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα) determines breast cancer cell phenotype and is a prognostic indicator. A better understanding of the mechanisms controlling ERα function may uncover improved strategies for the treatment of breast cancer. Proteasome inhibition was previously reported to regulate estrogen-induced transcription but the mechanisms by which it influences ERα function remain controversial. In this study we investigated the transcriptome-wide effects of the proteasome inhibitor Velcade on estrogen-regulated transcription in MCF7 human breast cancer cells and demonstrate a specific global decrease in estrogen-induced transcription. This set contains 12 microarray samples. 3 controls, 3 estrogen stimulated, 3 Bortezomib stimulated, 3 Bortezomib + estrogen stimulated

DOT1 Like Histone Lysine Methyltransferase (DOT1L) and Menin 1 (MEN1) interaction proteomics in breast cancer cell nuclei

Project description:Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα) is a ligand-inducible transcription factor that mediates estrogen signaling in hormone-responsive breast cancer (BC) and is the primary target of specific anticancer therapies that although effective can generate resistance phenomena that represents a crucial problem in clinical management of patients affected by this disease. DOT1 Like Histone Lysine Methyltransferase (DOT1L) and Menin 1 (MEN1) have been identified as functional component of the ERα mechanism of action. To investigate the involvement of DOT1L and MEN1 in mediating ERα actions in hormone-responsive and endocrine-resistant BC, interaction proteomics was applied to map the DOT1l and MEN1 nuclear interacting partners in MCF7 breast cancer cell nuclei in order to the identifiy new possible therapeutic targets for a more effective pharmacological treatment of endocrine therapy-resistant tumors.

Estrogen receptor and mTOR signaling rewires cancer metabolism in obesity-associated breast cancer

Project description:Obesity is a risk factor for postmenopausal ERα (+) breast cancer. Molecular mechanisms activated by the factors from serum that contribute to this risk and how these mechanisms affect ERα signaling are yet to be elucidated. To identify such mechanisms, we performed whole metabolite and protein profiling in serum samples, which enabled us to focus on factors that were differentially present in serum from cancer-free vs. breast cancer susceptible and obese vs. non-obese post-menopausal women. These studies combined with in vitro assays identified free fatty acids (FFAs), as serum factors that correlate with increased proliferation and aggressiveness in ERα(+) breast cancer cells by. FFAs activated both ERα and mTOR pathways and rewired metabolism in breast cancer cells. Pathway preferential estrogen-1 (PaPE-1), which target ERα and mTOR signaling, was able to block changes induced by FFAs. In fact, PaPEs were more effective in the presence of FFAs, suggesting a role for obesity-associated gene and metabolic rewiring in providing new targetable vulnerabilities for ERα-(+) breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Our findings provide a basis for preventing or inhibiting obesity-associated breast cancer by using PaPEs that would reverse these newly appreciated metabolic properties of breast tumors in obese postmenopausal women.
