Estrogen regulates Ah responsiveness in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
Cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A1 and CYP1B1, which are under the regulatory control of the aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor (AhR), catalyze the metabolic activation of numerous procarcinogens and the hydroxylation of 17beta-estradiol (E2) at the C-2 and C-4 positions, respectively. There is evidence of cross-talk between estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha)- and AhR-mediated signaling in breast and endometr...
متن کاملAnnexin-1 regulates growth arrest induced by high levels of estrogen in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
Estrogen, a naturally occurring female steroid growth hormone, has been implicated as a major risk factor for the development of breast cancer. Recent research into this disease has also correlated Annexin-1 (ANXA1), a glucocorticoid-inducible protein, with the development of breast tumorigenesis. ANXA1 is lost in many cancers, including breast cancer, and this may result in a functional promot...
متن کاملEstrogen regulates vesicle trafficking gene expression in EFF-3, EFM-19 and MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
Estrogens are critical mediators of breast tumorigenesis. This occurs via the action of estrogens on the estrogen receptor (ER), which regulates the transcriptome of breast cancer cells. Despite the long history of the search for estrogen-regulated genes in breast cancer, knowledge of the E2-regulated transcriptome and its effects is incomplete. We used Affymetrix GeneChips to profile the effec...
متن کاملAryl hydrocarbon receptor gene silencing with small inhibitory RNA differentially modulates Ah-responsiveness in MCF-7 and HepG2 cancer cells.
Sequence-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) duplexes can be used for gene silencing in mammalian cells and as mechanistic probes for determining gene function. Transfection of siRNAs for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and AhR nuclear translocator (ARNT) mRNAs in MCF-7 breast cancer cells resulted in a 60 to 80% decrease in levels of AhR and ARNT proteins in whole-cell extracts and decr...
متن کاملEndogenously expressed estrogen receptor and coactivator AIB1 interact in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.
Coactivators are believed to mediate estrogen-induced gene responses via interaction with estrogen receptors (ER). Currently, a major challenge is to determine the importance of each coactivator in a specific cell type and promoter context in response to a particular ligand. The potential of ER to interact with a growing list of coactivators has been shown in a variety of in vitro and gene tran...
