Abstract:
:The insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-I-R) has an important role in breast cancer etiology. The receptor is overexpressed by most breast cancers, where it functions as a potent antiapoptotic agent. BRCA1 is a tumor suppressor gene that is mutated in a large fraction of familial breast and ovarian cancers. Cotransfection of Saos-2, MCF7, and CHO cells with IGF-I-R promoter constructs driving luciferase reporter genes, and with a BRCA1 expression vector, suppressed promoter activity in a dose-dependent manner. Functional interactions between BRCA1 and Sp1 in the regulation of the IGF-I-R gene were studied in Schneider cells, a Drosophila cell line which lacks endogenous Sp1. In these cells BRCA1 suppressed 45% of the Sp1-induced trans-activation of the IGF-I-R promoter. These results suggest that BRCA1 is capable of suppressing the IGF-I-R promoter in a number of cell lines, thus resulting in low levels of receptor mRNA and protein. Mutant versions of BRCA1 lacking trans-activational activity can potentially derepress the IGF-I-R promoter. Activation of the overexpressed receptor by locally produced or circulating IGFs may be a crucial step in breast and ovarian cancer progression.
