Project description:Steroid hormones are key gene regulators in breast cancer cells. While estrogens stimulate cell proliferation, progestins activate a single cell cycle followed by proliferation arrest. Here, we use biochemical and genome wide approaches to show that progestins achieve this effect via a functional crosstalk with C/EBPα. Using ChIP-seq, we identify around 1,000 sites where C/EBPα binding precedes and helps binding of Progesterone Receptor (PR) in response to hormone. These regions exhibit epigenetic marks of active enhancers and C/EBPα maintains an open chromatin conformation that facilitates loading of ligand activated PR. Prior to hormone exposure, C/EBPα favors promoter-enhancer contacts that assure hormonal regulation of key genes involved in cell proliferation by facilitating binding of RAD21, YY1 and the Mediator complex. Knockdown of C/EBPα disrupts enhancer-promoter contacts and decreases the presence of these architectural proteins, highlighting its key role in 3D chromatin looping. Thus, C/EBPα fulfills a previously unknown function as a potential growth modulator in hormone-dependent breast cancer.

Project description:Hormonal contraception exposes women to different synthetic progesterone receptor (PR) agonists, progestins, and transiently increases breast cancer risk. How progestins affect the breast epithelium is poorly understood because we lack adequate models to study this. We hypothesized that individual progestins differentially affect cell proliferation in the normal breast epithelium and hence breast cancer risk. Using mouse mammary tissue ex vivo, we show that testosterone-related progestins strongly induce the PR target and mediator of PR signaling induced cell proliferation Receptor Activator of NF-κB Ligand (Rankl), previously implicated in breast carcinogenesis, whereas other progestins fail to do so. We developed xenografts of normal human breast epithelial cells (HBECSs) to the milk ducts of immunocompromised female mice and show that they remain hormone-responsive. Using HBECSs from 36 women, we show that testosterone-related progestins, desogestrel, gestodene, and levonorgestrel, induce PSA (KLK3) and promote their proliferation, whereas the anti-androgenic progestins, which have shown anti-androgenic properties in reporter assays, chlormadinone acetate and cyproterone acetate, do not. Pharmacological inhibition of the androgen receptor (AR) inhibits PR agonist and levonorgestrel-induced RANKL expression and both pharmacological and genetic AR inhibition reduce levonorgestrel-driven breast epithelial cell proliferation in vivo. Prolonged exposure to androgenic progestins elicits hyperproliferation with cytologic changes. Thus, different progestins have distinct biological activities in the breast epithelium that should be taken into account for more informed choices in hormonal contraception.

Project description:We defined the C/EBPa signature characterized by a set of genes which are upregulated upon C/EBPa activation. In order to identify the C/EBPa signature, we performed microarray gene expression analysis of K562 cells stably expressing p42-C/EBPa-ER after activating the C/EBPa construct to translocate to the nucleus for 6 hours with beta-estradiol.

Project description:In blood, the transcription factor C/EBPa is essential for myeloid differentiation and has been implicated in regulating self-renewal of fetal liver hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). However, its function in adult HSCs is unknown. Here, using an inducible knockout model, we found that C/EBPa deficient adult HSCs underwent a pronounced expansion with enhanced proliferation, characteristics resembling fetal liver HSCs. Consistently, transcription profiling of C/EBPa deficient HSCs revealed a gene expression program similar to fetal liver HSCs. Moreover we observed that age-specific C/EBPa expression correlated with its inhibitory effect on the HSC cell cycle. Mechanistically, we identified N-Myc as a C/EBPa downstream target. C/EBPa upregulation during HSC transition from an active fetal state to a quiescent adult state was accompanied by down-regulation of N-Myc, and loss of C/EBPa resulted in de-repression of NMyc. Our data establish that C/EBPa acts as a molecular switch between fetal and adult states of HSC in part via transcriptional repression of the proto-oncogene N-Myc.

Project description:In the present study, we hypothesized that C/EBPa (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha) plays a role in cell regeneration in response to bronchiolar epithelial cell injury. C/EBPa mediated ciliated cell regeneration after naphthalene bronchiolar epithelial cell injury in vivo. Furthermore, we demonstrated that C/EBPa regulates protease/anti-protease balance after lung injury, and intratracheal treatment with anti-protease (BPTI) restored ciliated cell regeneration after naphthalene injury in CebpaD/D mice.

HSCs of Pu.1 knock-in (PU.1ki/ki) mice were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We compared these microarray samples with the corresponding wild type.

In order to identify the C/EBPa signature, we performed microarray gene expression analysis of K562 cells stably expressing p42-C/EBPa-ER after activating the C/EBPa construct to translocate to the nucleus for 6 hours with beta-estradiol. The gene expression profile was performed in K562 p42-C/EBPa-ER expressing cells treated with beta-estradiol (n=4) or EtOH vehicle control (n-4) for 6 hours. Induction of nuclear localization of C/EBPa-ER fusion protein was achieved by addition of 1 uM beta-estradiol as indicated into the culture medium.
