Project description:The cellular responses to the steroid hormones, estrogen (E2), and progesterone (P4) are governed by their cognate receptor’s transcriptional output. Although multiple mechanisms including the tissue-specific coactivators dictate these transcriptional signatures, the feed-forward mechanisms, that evolved to coordinate the cell-type specific transcriptional fulcrums for steroid receptors are not yet identified. In this report, we found that a common feed-forward mechanism between GREB1 and steroid receptors governs the differential effect of GREB1 on steroid hormones in a physiological or pathological context. We found that in physiological (receptive) endometrium, GREB1 is essential for progesterone but not estrogenic responses, whereas in endometriosis, an E2-dependent endometrial pathology, it pre-dominantly mediates estrogenic actions. Specifically, the deletion of GREB1 curtails endometrial receptivity and decidualization, owing to impaired P4-dependent stromal cell proliferation. In contrast, GREB1 is not required for E2-mediated epithelial proliferation of the receptive uterus. Of mechanism, in receptive endometrium, progesterone-induced GREB1 physically interacts with the progesterone receptor on chromatin and functions as a cofactor in a positive feedback mechanism to selectively regulate P4-responses. In pathological conditions (endometriosis), ablation of GREB1 led to the development of smaller endometriotic lesions in mice and reduced E2-driven proliferation of human endometriotic cells. Moreover, E2-induced GREB1 modulated the E2-dependent target gene expression in a feed-forward mechanism. Collectively, acting as a downstream effector, GREB1 governs either P4-responses or E2-responses depending on the physiological or pathological setting. Importantly, this differential action of GREB1 is exerted by a common feed-forward mechanism between GREB1 and steroid receptors, which conceptually advances our understanding of the mechanism(s) that underlie the distinct cell- and tissue-specific actions of steroid hormones.

Project description:Genomic amplification of the androgen receptor (AR) is an established mechanism of antiandrogen resistance in prostate cancer. Here we show that the magnitude of AR signaling output, independent of AR genomic alteration or expression level, also contributes to antiandrogen resistance, through upregulation of the coactivator GREB1. We demonstrate 100-fold heterogeneity in AR output within cell lines and show that cells with high AR output have reduced sensitivity to enzalutamide. Through transcriptomic and shRNA knockdown studies, together with analysis of clinical datasets, we identify GREB1 as a gene responsible for high AR output. We show that GREB1 is an AR target gene that amplifies AR output by enhancing AR DNA binding and promoting p300 recruitment. GREB1 knockdown in high AR output cells restores enzalutamide sensitivity in vivo. Thus, GREB1 is a candidate driver of enzalutamide resistance through a novel feed forward mechanism.

Project description:The β-catenin mutation is frequently observed in hepatoblastoma (HB), but the underlying mechanism by which Wnt/β-catenin signaling induces HB tumor formation is unknown. We found that expression of growth regulation by estrogen in breast cancer 1 (GREB1) depends on Wnt/β-catenin signaling in HB patients. GREB1 was localized to the nucleus where it bound Smad2/3 in a competitive manner with p300 and inhibited TGFβ signaling, thereby promoting HepG2 HB cell proliferation. Forced expression of β-catenin, YAP, and c-Met induced HB-like mouse liver tumor (BYM mice), with an increase in GREB1 expression and HB markers. Depletion of GREB1 strongly suppressed marker gene expression and HB-like liver tumorigenesis, and instead enhanced TGFβ signaling in BYM mice. Furthermore, antisense oligonucleotides for GREB1 suppressed the formation of HepG2 cell-induced tumors and HB-like tumors in vivo. We propose that GREB1 is a novel target molecule of Wnt/β-catenin signaling and required for HB progression.

Project description:Methods for identifying protein-protein interactions have mostly been limited to tagged exogenous expression approaches. We now establish a rapid, robust and comprehensive method for finding interacting proteins using endogenous proteins from limited cell numbers. We apply this approach called ‘Rapid IP-Mass Spectrometry of Endogenous proteins (RIME)’ to identify ER, FoxA1 and E2F4 interacting proteins in breast cancer cells. From small numbers of starting cells, we find a comprehensive collection of known ER, FoxA1 and E2F4 targets, plus a number of novel unexpected interactors. One of the most ER (and FoxA1) associated interactors is GREB1, an estrogen induced gene with almost no known function. We apply RIME, in parallel with ER ChIP-seq, to identify ER protein interactors and ER binding events from solid tumor xenografts, resulting in the validation of the ER-GREB1 interactions. Furthermore, we establish a method for identifying endogenous interacting proteins from solid primary breast cancer samples, whih we apply to validate ER interactions with GREB1 and additional co-factors. Mechanistically, we show that GREB1 is recruited with ER to the chromatin where it functions as an essential estrogen-mediated regulatory factor required for effective ER transcriptional activity. Our novel approach enables, for the first time, the ability for discovery and validation of protein-protein interactions in whole tissue and solid tumors, revealing significant insight into ER regulatory factors.
