Project description:Elf5 (or ESE-2) is an ETS transcription factor that is abundantly expressed in the mammary epithelium, where it plays a critical role in dictating cell fate and lineage choices. These changes are in part mediated by alterations in the expression and activity of critical components of the Jak/Stat pathway. While the biological function of Elf5 in mammary gland development has been well characterized, its role in breast cancer remains to be elucidated. Here we show that loss of Elf5 leads to features associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in the mouse mammary gland during pregnancy and lactation. These cellular changes in Elf5-null mammary epithelia are also reflected at the molecular level by the global enrichment of EMT-related gene signatures. ELF5 is expressed in higher level in weakly metastatic breast cancer cells that retained epithelial features compared to highly metastatic cells with mesenchymal features. ELF5 knockdown in T47D breast cancer cells resulted in EMT and increased migration. Conversely, ectopic expression of Elf5 revert mesenchymal-like MDA-MB-231 cells and its lung-tropic variant LM2 to an epithelial phenotype, with reduced migration, invasion and lung metastatic abilities. Finally, we showed that Elf5 binds directly to the promoter of the EMT transcriptional factor Snail2 (Slug) and repress its expression. Taken together, these data established a novel function for Elf5 in inhibiting EMT in normal mammary epithelium and in breast cancer through direct targeting of Snail2. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE32143: LM2 cell: infected with lentivirus to stably express Elf5 vs GFP GSE32144: MDA-MB-231 cell: infected with lentivirus to stably express mut-Elf5 vs WT-Elf5

Project description:Elf5 expression in mammary progenitor cells regulates a cell fate decision that establishes the alveolar cell lineage. In luminal breast cancer cells, increased Elf5 expression suppressed estrogen receptor and FoxA1 expression and was implicated in the acquisition of resistance to the cytostatic effects of antiestrogen therapy. We show that in the PyMT model of luminal breast cancer, increased Elf5 expression drives lung metastasis by recruiting myeloid-‐derived suppressor cells, and that this activity overcomes the epithelializing influence of Elf5. Breast cancer expression signatures identify a similar process in humans, and increased Elf5 immunohistochemical staining predicts poor prognosis in the luminal A subgroup. Thus Elf5 may promote escape from hormonal therapy and drive metastasis in luminal breast cancer.

Project description:Elf5, an epithelial-specific Ets transcription factor, plays a crucial role in the pregnancy-associated development of the mammary gland. However, the molecular mechanisms employed by Elf5 to exert its effects on the mammary gland are largely unknown. Transcript profiling was used to investigate the transcriptional changes that occur as a result of Elf5 haploinsufficiency. We show that the development of the Elf5+/- gland is delayed at a transcriptional and morphological level, due to the delayed increase in Elf5 protein in these glands. We also identify a number of potential Elf5 target genes, including Mucin 4, whose expression, is directly regulated by the binding of Elf5 to an Ets-binding site within its promoter. We identify novel transcriptional targets of Elf5 and show that Muc4 is a direct target of Elf5, further elucidating the mechanisms through which Elf5 regulates proliferation and differentiation in the mammary gland.
