KLF4 overcomes tamoxifen resistance by suppressing MAPK signaling pathway and predicts good prognosis in breast cancer.

Abstract:

:Tamoxifen resistance represents a daunting challenge to the successful treatment for breast cancer. Krüppel-like factor 4 has critical roles in the development and progression of breast cancer, but its expression, function and regulation in the efficacy of TAM therapy in breast cancer have yet to be investigated. Here, we examined the clinical significance and biologic effects of KLF4 in breast cancer. Firstly, higher expression of KLF4 correlated with increased TAM sensitivity in breast cancer cells, and analysis of GEO datasets indicated that KLF4 expression was positively correlated with ERα and enhanced expression of KLF4 sensitized breast cancer patients to endocrine therapy. Knockdown of KLF4 in MCF-7 and BCAP37 cells led to increased TAM resistance, while ectopic KLF4 expression promoted the responsiveness to TAM in T47D and TAM-resistant MCF-7/TAM cells. Secondly, ectopic KLF4 overexpression suppressed MCF-7/TAM cell growth, invasion and migration. Moreover, KLF4 expression was down-regulated in breast cancer tumor tissues and high expression of KLF4 was associated with favorable outcomes. Mechanistically, KLF4 may enhance the responsiveness of breast cancer cells to TAM through suppressing mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. We found that ERK and p38 were more activated in MCF-7/TAM compared with MCF-7, and treatment with MAPK-specific inhibitors significantly suppressed cell viability. Knockdown of KLF4 activated ERK and p38 and drove MCF-7 cells to become resistant to TAM. Conversely, overexpression of KLF4 in MCF-7/TAM cells suppressed ERK and p38 signaling and resulted in increased sensitivity to TAM. Therefore, our findings suggested that KLF4 contributed to TAM sensitivity in breast cancer via phosphorylation modification of ERK and p38 signaling. Collectively, this study highlighted the significance of KLF4/MAPK signal interaction in regulating TAM resistance of breast cancer, and suggested that targeting KLF4/MAPK signaling may be a potential therapeutic strategy for breast cancer treatment, especially for the TAM-resistant patients.
