ERβ1 inhibits metastasis of androgen receptor-positive triple-negative breast cancer by suppressing ZEB1.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Increasing evidence has indicated an important role for estrogen receptor beta 1 (ERβ1) in breast cancer. However, the role of ERβ1 in the metastasis of androgen receptor (AR)-positive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and the underlying mechanisms are still unknown. METHODS:Stable ERβ1-expressing TNBC cell lines were generated for this study. We detected the abilities of cell migration and invasion by wound-healing and transwell assays and the expression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin by quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blotting assays in TNBC cell lines. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis was performed to assess the effect of AR on ERβ1 promoter. Tumor metastasis was evaluated in vivo using a lung metastasis mouse model. Lastly, immunohistochemical expression of ERβ1 in TNBC tissues was analyzed and correlated with clinicopathological features. RESULTS:ERβ1 suppressed the invasion and migration abilities of AR-positive TNBC cells and induced the downregulation of ZEB1. ZEB1 overexpression abrogated the increase in E-cadherin expression and the decrease in N-cadherin expression modulated by ERβ1. A lung metastasis mouse model showed that the incidence of metastasis was lower in ERβ1-expressing TNBC cells. Further, AR activation increased the anti-metastatic effect of ERβ1 in AR-positive TNBC cells, which accelerated ERβ1 transcription by functioning as a transcription factor that bound to the promoter of ERβ1. No significant change was observed in AR expression induced by ERβ1. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis of TNBC clinical samples showed that ERβ1 and AR were positive in 31.7% and 23.2% of samples, respectively. ERβ1 expression was negatively correlated with ZEB1 expression and lymph node metastasis, and positively correlated with the expression of AR and E-cadherin. CONCLUSION:Our findings suggested a potential role of ERβ1 in metastasis of AR-positive TNBC and provided novel insights into the mechanism of action of ERβ1 and the possible relationship between ERβ1 and AR.
