Role of insulin-like growth factor-I in regulating estrogen receptor-alpha gene expression.

Abstract：

:The role of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in regulating estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha) gene expression and activity was investigated in the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Treatment of cells with 40 ng/ml IGF-I resulted in a 60% decrease in ER-alpha protein concentration by 3 h, and the amount of ER-alpha remained suppressed for 24 h. A multiple-dose ligand-binding assay demonstrated that the decrease in ER-alpha protein corresponded to a similar decrease of 50% in estradiol-binding sites with no effect on the binding affinity of ER-alpha. The dissociation constant of the estradiol-ER-alpha complex in the absence of IGF-I (K(d) = 3 x 10(-10) +/- 0.5 x 10(-10) M) was similar to the dissociation constant in the presence of IGF-I (K(d) = 6 x 10(-10) +/- 0.3 x 10(-10) M). The decrease in ER-alpha protein concentration was paralleled by an 80% decrease in the steady-state amount of ER-alpha mRNA by 3 h. The IGF-I induced decrease in ER-alpha mRNA was due to the inhibition of ER-alpha gene transcription. When an 128-base pair ER-alpha-promoter-CAT construct was transfected into MCF-7 cells, treatment with IGF-I resulted in a 40% decrease in CAT activity. In contrast to the effects on ER-alpha, treatment with IGF-I induced two endogenous estrogen-regulated genes, progesterone receptor and pS2, by 4- and twofold, respectively. The pure antiestrogen ICI-164, 384 blocked this induction, suggesting that ER-alpha mediates the effects of IGF-I. Transient co-transfections of wild-type ER-alpha and an estrogen response element-CAT reporter into COS-1 cells demonstrated that IGF-I increased reporter gene activity. This effect was also blocked by ICI 164,384. Protein kinase A and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitors blocked the IGF-I effects on ER-alpha expression and activity, suggesting that these kinases may be involved in the cross-talk between the IGF-I and ER-alpha pathways.
