Project description:Estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that plays an important role in breast cancer. Estrogen-dependent gene regulation by ERalpha can be mediated by interaction with other DNA-binding proteins, such as activator protein-1 (AP-1). The nature of such interactions in mediating the estrogen response in breast cancer cells remains unclear. Here we show that knockdown of c-Fos, a component of the transcription factor AP-1, attenuates the expression of 37% of all estrogen-regulated genes, suggesting that AP-1 is a fundamental factor for ERalpha-mediated transcription. Additionally, knockdown of c-Fos affected the expression of a number of genes that were not regulated by estrogen. Pathway analysis reveals that silencing of c-Fos downregulates an E2F1-dependent pro-proliferative gene network. Thus, modulation of the E2F1 pathway by c-Fos represents a novel mechanism by which c-Fos enhances breast cancer cell proliferation. Furthermore, we show that c-Fos and ERalpha can cooperate in regulating E2F1 gene expression by binding to regulatory elements in the E2F1 promoter. To start to dissect the molecular details of the cross-talk between AP-1 and estrogen signaling, we identify a novel ERalpha/AP-1 target, PKIB (cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor-beta), which is overexpressed in ERalpha-positive breast cancer tissues. Knockdown of PKIB by siRNA results in drastic growth suppression of breast cancer cells. Collectively, our findings support AP-1 as a critical factor that governs estrogen-dependent gene expression and breast cancer proliferation programs.

MCF-7 cells were transfected with a control siRNA or with the pool of siRNAs targeting c-Fos for 72 h and were then treated with vehicle or E2 for 24 h, and global gene expression profiles were assessed. Three or four biological replicates were used for each group.

Project description:Estrogen plays an important role in the regulation of vascular tone and in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease. Physiological effects of estrogen are mediated through estrogen receptors alpha (ERalpha) and beta (ERbeta), which are both expressed in vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells. However, the molecular pathways mediating estrogen effects in blood vessels are not well defined. We have performed gene expression profiling in the mouse aorta to identify comprehensive gene sets the expression of which is regulated by long-term (1 wk) estrogen treatment. The ER subtype dependence of the alterations in gene expression was characterized by parallel gene expression profiling experiments in ERalpha-deficient [ERalpha knockout (ERalphaKO)] and ERbeta-deficient (ERbetaKO) mice. Importantly, these data revealed that ERalpha- and ERbeta-dependent pathways regulate distinct and largely nonoverlapping sets of genes. Whereas ERalpha is essential for most of the estrogen-mediated increase in gene expression in wild-type aortas, ERbeta mediates the large majority of estrogen-mediated decreases in gene expression. Biological functions of the estrogen-regulated genes include extracellular matrix synthesis, in addition to electron transport in the mitochondrion and reactive oxygen species pathways. Of note, the estrogen/ERbeta pathway mediates down-regulation of mRNAs for nuclear-encoded subunits in each of the major complexes of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Several estrogen-regulated genes also encode transcription factors. Overall, these findings provide a foundation for understanding the molecular basis for estrogen effects on vasculature gene expression. Experiment Overall Design: Six estrogen receptor alpha knockout (ERaKO) and six estrogen receptor beta knockout (ERbKO) mice and ten of their wild-type littermates (all female, 2.5-4.5 months of age) were ovarioectomized. Half the mice from each genotype were implanted with 17beta-estradiol pellets, the other half with placebo pellets. After 7-8 days of estrogen/placebo treatment, aortas were harvested, total RNAs were purified for Affymetrix GeneChip microarray analysis, without pooling. This experiment consists of 6 groups with 3 (ERaKO and ERbKO) or 5 (WT) biological replicates per group, for a total of 22 samples.

Project description:Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, can dramatically impinge on quality of life and mortality. While mitochondrial dysfunction and imbalanced proteostasis are recognized as hallmarks of sarcopenia, the regulatory and functional link between these processes is underappreciated and unresolved. We therefore investigated how mitochondrial proteostasis, a crucial process that coordinates the expression of nuclear- and mitochondrial-encoded mitochondrial proteins with supercomplex formation and respiratory activity, is affected in skeletal muscle aging. Intriguingly, a robust mitochondrial translation impairment was observed in sarcopenic muscle, which is regulated by the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1alpha) with the estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRalpha). Exercise, a potent inducer of PGC-1alpha activity, rectifies age-related reduction in mitochondrial translation, in conjunction with quality control pathways. These results highlight the importance of mitochondrial proteostasis in muscle aging, and elucidate regulatory interactions that underlie the powerful benefits of physical activity in this context.

Project description:This dataset is part of the manuscript titled "The metabolic regulator ERRalpha, a downstream target of HER2/IGF1, as a therapeutic target in breast cancer" (in review). The expression data obtained in human mammary epithelial cells were used to generate a list of ERRalpha-regulated genes that was later refined in clinical breast cancer datasets to generate a clinically relevant signature of ERalpha activity (referred to as Cluster 3 signature). Using this signature of the estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRa) to profile more than eight-hundred breast tumors, we found that patients with tumors exhibiting higher ERRa activity were predicted to have shorter disease free survival. Further, the ability of an ERRa antagonist, XCT790, to inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation correlates with the cellâs intrinsic ERRa activity. These findings highlight the potential of using the ERRa signature and antagonists in targeted therapy for breast cancer. Using a chemical genomic approach we determined that activation of the HER2/IGF1 signaling pathways upregulates the expression of PGC-1b, an obligate cofactor for ERRa activity. Knockdown of PGC-1b in HER2 positive breast cancer cells impaired ERRa signaling and reduced cell proliferation, implicating a functional role of PGC1b/ERRa in the pathogenesis HER2 positive breast cancer. Primary human mammary epithelial cells were a gift from Dr. J. Marks (Duke University, Durham, NC) and cultured in MEBM (Cambrex, East Rutherford, NJ) with MEGM bullet kit and supplemented with 5mg/ml transferrin and 10-5M isoproterenol. To generate ERR-alpha signature, hMECs were serum starved for 36h followed by infection with MOI=150 of adenoviruses expressing two variants of PGC1alpha, a protein ligand for ERRalpha: PGC-1alpha2x9 or PGC-1alpha L2L3M. PGC-1-2x9 is specific to ERRalpha, while PGC-1-L2L3M lacks the NR box and does not interact with ERRalpha or other nuclear receptors. The generation and purification of variant PGC-1alpha viruses were described previously (Gaillard et al., Molecular Cell 24:5, 2006). Comparable expression levels of the two PGC-1alpha variants were verified by Western immonoblot analysis (data not shown). RNA was collect 16h after infection and purified using RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Ten independent biological replicates from each virus infection were collected.
