Project description:The identification of mechanisms controlling breast tumor progression from less aggressive to highly metastatic disease should provide novel therapeutic targets for patients. Here we report the transcriptional corepressor, TLE3, as a critical regulator of cellular plasticity in breast cancer. TLE3 facilitates repression of genes associated with the highly aggressive basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) subtype within luminal cells. Additionally, maintenance of the luminal lineage is dependent on appropriate localization of TLE3 to its transcriptional targets which is mediated through interaction with FOXA1. Furthermore, the ability of TLE3 to repress BLBC transcription results in reduced metastatic capacity and aggressive cellular behaviors. Together our findings establish TLE3 as a critical transcriptional mediator of breast cancer aggressiveness, with TLE3 sustaining the more differentiated and less metastatic nature of luminal tumors through suppression of gene expression programs associated with BLBC.

Project description:Forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1) has been shown to have critical functions in prostate and ER alpha positive breast cancer. As a pioneering transcriptional factor, FOXA1 regulates DNA accessibility for the androgen receptor in prostate and the estrogen receptor alpha in ER positive breast cancer, respectively. FOXA1 is also expressed in human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2/ErbB2) positive breast cancers, but its functions in HER2 positive breast cancer are unclear. The loss of FOXA1 results in a decrease in the viability of HER2 positive and HER2 amplified cell lines suggesting that FOXA1 may have an important role in HER2 positive breast cancers. In this report, we examined patient-derived single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics data and demonstrated that FOXA1 is co-expressed with ErbB2 in HER2 positive breast cancers. Knocking down FOXA1 expression led to the reduction of HER2 expression and signaling. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Sequencing (ChIP-seq) and Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) identified FOXA1 binding motifs in the ErbB2 promoter and regulatory element regions, which controlled ErbB2 gene expression. Interestingly, the knockdown of FOXA1 increased Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) signaling and inhibited luminal tumor differentiation. Furthermore, FOXA1 and TRPS1 regulated TEAD/YAP-TAZ activity. Taken together, our data demonstrate that FOXA1 is required for HER2 expression and luminal identity in HER2+ breast cancer.

Project description:Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease comprised of at least five major subtypes. Luminal subtype tumors confer a more favourable patient prognosis, which is in part, attributed to the Estrogen Receptor-alpha (ER) positivity and anti-hormone responsiveness of these tumors. Expression of the forkhead box transcription factor, FOXA1, also correlates with the luminal subtype and patient survival, but is present in a subset of ER-negative tumors. Similarly, FOXA1 is consistently expressed in luminal breast cancer cell lines even in the absence of ER. In contrast, basal breast cancer cell lines do not express FOXA1, and loss of FOXA1 in luminal cells increases migration and invasion, characteristics of the basal subtype. To delineate an ER-independent role for FOXA1 in maintaining the luminal phenotype, and hence a more favourable prognosis, we performed cDNA microarray analyses on luminal FOXA1-positive, ER-positive (MCF7, T47D) and FOXA1-positive, ER-negative (MDA-MB-453, SKBR3) cell lines in the presence or absence of transient FOXA1 silencing. This resulted in three FOXA1 transcriptomes: (1) a luminal-signature (consistent across cell lines), (2) an ER-positive signature (restricted to MCF7 and T47D) and (3) an ER-negative signature (restricted to MDA-MB-453 and SKBR3). Use of Gene Set Enrichment Analyses (GSEA) as a phenotyping tool revealed that FOXA1 silencing resulted in a transcriptome shift from luminal to basal gene expression signatures. FOXA1 binds to both luminal and basal genes within luminal breast cancer cells, suggesting that it not only transactivates luminal genes, but also represses basal-associated genes. From these results we conclude that FOXA1 controls plasticity between basal and luminal cells, playing a dominant role in repressing the basal phenotype, and thus tumor aggressiveness, in luminal breast cancer cells. Although it has been proposed that FOXA1-targeting agents may be useful for treating luminal tumors, these data suggest that this approach may promote transitions toward a more aggressive cancer. FOXA1 siRNA treated breast cell lines compared directly to nonspecific siRNA treated cell lines using Agilent 4X44 microarrays.

Project description:Transcriptional effectors of white adipocyte-selective gene expression have not been described. TLE3 is a white-selective cofactor that acts reciprocally with the brown-selective cofactor Prdm16 to specify lipid storage and thermogenic gene programs. When expressed at elevated levels in brown fat, TLE3 counters Prdm16, suppressing brown-selective genes and inducing white-selective genes, resulting in impaired fatty acid oxidation and thermogenesis. To further test the functional consequences of the changes in BAT phenotype in aP2-TLE3 Tg mice, we challenged them with cold exposure at 4C. aP2-TLE3 Tg mice had an impaired ability to respond to cold exposure compared to littermate control mice, as evidenced by a marked drop in core body temperature. Transgenic mice expressing TLE3 from the aP2 enhancer and wild type mice were housed individually without food and bedding immediately before the start of experiments. Mice were allowed free access to water and placed at 4C for 5 hours while core body temperature was monitored every hour using a rectal probe. For microarray experiments of BAT, RNA was extracted and pooled from 4 mice in each group.
