Project description:Two subtypes of the estrogen receptor, ERalpha and ERbeta, mediate the actions of estrogens, and the majority of human breast tumors contain both ERalpha and ERbeta. To examine the possible interactions and modulatory effects of ERbeta on ERalpha activity, we have used adenoviral gene delivery to produce human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells expressing ERbeta, along with their endogenous ERalpha. We have examined the effects of ERβ expression on genome-wide gene expression by Affymetrix GeneChip microarrays. We find that ERbeta modulated estrogen gene expression on nearly 24% of E2-stimulated genes but only 8% of E2-inhibited genes. We find that ERbeta modulation is gene-specific, enhancing or counteracting ERalpha regulation for distinct subsets of estrogen target genes. Introduction of ERbeta into ERalpha-containing cells induced up/down-regulation of many estrogen target in the absence of any added ligand. In addition, ERbeta presence elicited the expression of a unique set of genes that were not regulated by ERalpha alone. ERbeta modulated the expression of genes in many functional categories, but the greatest numbers were associated with transcription factor and signal transduction pathways. Regulation of multiple components in the TGF beta, SDF1, and semaphorin pathways, may contribute to the suppression of proliferation observed with ERbeta both in the presence and absence of estrogen. Hence, ERbeta modulates ERalpha gene regulation in diverse ways that may contribute to its growth-inhibiting beneficial effects in breast cancer Keywords: modulatory effects of ERb on ERa

Cells were infected with adenovirus for a period of 48hr before treatment with ligand (vehicle control or 10nM 17beta-estradiol) for a additional period of 24hr before harvest.

Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global transcriptional response mediated by ERalpha or ERbeta to the phytoestrogen genistein in the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell model. Experiment Overall Design: MCF-7 human breast cancer cells expressing endogenouse Estrogen Receptor Alpha (ERalpha) were infected with adenovirus carrying either estrogen receptor beta (AdERb) or no insert (Ad) at multiplicity of infection (moi) of 20. Cells were then treated with either vehicle control (veh), 6nM 17beta-estradiol (E2), 6nM genistein (LG), 300nM genistein (HG), 300nM S-Equol (EQ), HG+3uM ICI182,780 (IG), EQ+3uM ICI 182,780(IE) for a additional periods of 4h or 24hr before RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to determine if genistein and S-Equol, phytoestrogens selective for the ERbeta can elicit transcriptional response distinctive from those mediated by the ERalpha.

Project description:Purpose: Endocrine therapies, such as tamoxifen are commonly given to most patients with estrogen receptor (ER) alpha-positive breast carcinoma but are not indicated for persons with ERalpha-negative cancer. The factors responsible for response to tamoxifen in 5-10% of patients with ERalpha-negative tumors are not clear. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the biology and role of the second ER, ERbeta, in patients treated with adjuvant tamoxifen. Experimental Design: We investigated ERbeta by immunohistochemistry in 353 stage II primary breast tumors from patients treated with two years adjuvant tamoxifen, and generated gene expression profiles for a representative subset of 88 tumors. Results: ERbeta was associated with increased survival (distant disease-free survival, P=0.01; overall survival, P=0.22), and in particular within ERalpha-negative patients (P=0.003; P=0.04), but not in the ERalpha-positive subgroup (P=0.49; P=0.88). Lack of ERbeta conferred early relapse (hazard ratio, 14; 95% CI, 1.8-106; P=0.01) within the ERalpha-negative subgroup even after adjustment for other markers. ERalpha was an independent marker only within the ERbeta-negative tumors (hazard ratio, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.21-0.89; P=0.02). An ERbeta gene expression profile was identified and was markedly different from the ERalpha signature. Conclusion: Expression of ERbeta is an independent marker for favorable prognosis after adjuvant tamoxifen treatment in ERalpha-negative breast cancer patients, and involves a gene expression program distinct from ERalpha. These results may be highly clinically significant, because in the U.S. alone, approximately 10,000 women are diagnosed annually with ERalpha-negative/ERbeta-positive breast carcinoma and may benefit from adjuvant tamoxifen.

Project description:The forkhead transcription factor FOXM1 is a key regulator of the cell cycle and is overexpressed in cancer. Increased levels of FOXM1 are associated with both poor prognosis and oestrogen receptor (ERalpha) status in primary breast cancer. In this study, we map FOXM1 binding genome wide in both ERalpha-positive (MCF-7) and -negative (MDA-MB-231) breast cancer cells. We identify a common set of FOXM1 binding events at cell cycle-regulating genes, but in addition, in MCF-7 cells we find a high level of concordance with ERalpha-binding regions. FOXM1 binding at these co-binding sites is dependent on ERalpha binding, as depletion of ER protein levels reduced FOXM1 binding. FOXM1 interacts directly with both ERalpha co-activator CARM1 and is required for H3 arginine methylation at the ERalpha complex. Inhibition of FOXM1 activity with the ligand thiostrepton resulted in decreased FOXM1 binding at cca. 1400 sites genome wide and reduced expression of genes correlated with poor prognosis in ERalpha-positive tumour samples. These data demonstrate a novel role for the forkhead protein FOXM1 as an ERalpha cofactor and provide insight into the role of FOXM1 in ERalpha-positive breast cancer. MCF-7 cells were treated with either thiostrepton or DMSO for 6 hr. Each treatment was carried out in replicates of 6.

The FOXM1-binding sites were mapped by ChIP-Seq in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Cells were treated either with thiostrepton, a FOXM1 inhibitor, or with DMSO (as control). Four replicates were performed in MCF7 cells and two replicates in MDA-MB-231 cells.
