Cancers, Vol. 14, Pages 2380: Endocrine Therapy-Resistant Breast Cancer Cells Are More Sensitive to Ceramide Kinase Inhibition and Elevated Ceramide Levels Than Therapy-Sensitive Breast Cancer Cells
In this study, we have investigated how alterations in sphingolipids promote cell survival in ET-resistant breast cancer. We have performed LC-MS-based targeted sphingolipidomics of tamoxifen-sensitive and -resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. Follow-up studies included treatments of cell lines and patient-derived xenograft organoids (PDxO) with small molecule inhibitors; cytometric analyses to measure cell death, proliferation, and apoptosis; siRNA-mediated knockdown; RT-qPCR and Western blot for gene and protein expression; targeted lipid analysis; and lipid addback experiments. We found that tamoxifen-resistant cel...

Cancers, Vol. 13, Pages 3612: Estrogen Receptor-Alpha and p53 Status as Regulators of AMPK and mTOR in Luminal Breast Cancer
. Das Luminal breast cancer (LBC) driven by dysregulated estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα) signaling accounts for 70% of the breast cancer cases diagnosed. Although endocrine therapy (ET) is effective against LBC, about one-third of these patients fail to respond to therapy owing to acquired or inherent resistance mechanisms. Aberrant signaling via ERα, oncogenes, growth factor receptors, and mutations in tumor suppressors such as p53 impinge on downstream regulators such as AMPK and mTOR. While both AMPK and mTOR have been reported to play important roles in determining sensitivity of LBC to ET, how the ERα-p53 crossta...

Overexpression of TMEM47 Induces Tamoxifen Resistance in Human Breast Cancer Cells
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that overexpression of TMEM47 in MCF-7 cells acquired TAM resistance to those cells, and knockdown of TMEM47 in TAMR/MCF-7 cells reversed their resistance to TAM. TMEM47 might confer TAM resistance on MCF-7 cells through the inhibition of apoptosis.PMID:33745390 | DOI:10.1177/15330338211004916

PELP-1 regulates adverse responses to endocrine therapy in Estrogen Receptor (ER) positive breast cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data confirms previous reports that anti-estrogens induce an adverse cell phenotype in ER+ breast cancer, particularly in the absence of homotypic cell contact. These results implicate E-cadherin and PELP-1 as potential biomarkers when deciding upon optimum adjuvant endocrine therapy, whereby tumours with high PELP-1/low E-cadherin expression may benefit from estrogen withdrawal therapy via aromatase inhibition, as opposed to ER modulation/antagonism.

Contrasting activities of estrogen receptor beta isoforms in triple negative breast cancer
ConclusionsER β2/ERβ5 and ERβ1 exhibit sharply contrasting activities in TNBC cells. Our findings imply that delineating the absolute amounts and relative ratios of the different ERβ isoforms might have prognostic and therapeutic relevance, and could enable better selection of optimal approaches for treatment of this often aggressive form of breast cancer.

Cancers, Vol. 11, Pages 189: Tumor-Associated Macrophages Induce Endocrine Therapy Resistance in ER+ Breast Cancer Cells
a Gil Antiestrogenic adjuvant treatments are first-line therapies in patients with breast cancer positive for estrogen receptor (ER+). Improvement of their treatment strategies is needed because most patients eventually acquire endocrine resistance and many others are initially refractory to anti-estrogen treatments. The tumor microenvironment plays essential roles in cancer development and progress; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying such effects remain poorly understood. Breast cancer cell lines co-cultured with TNF-α-conditioned macrophages were used as pro-inflammatory tumor microenvironm...

Combined blockade of activating ERBB2 mutations and ER results in synthetic lethality of ER+/HER2 mutant breast cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: ERBB2 mutations hyperactivate the HER3/PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis, leading to antiestrogen resistance in ER+ breast cancer. Dual blockade of the HER2 and ER pathways is required for the treatment of ER+/HER2 mutant breast cancers. PMID: 30314968 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Abstract P1-08-03: Identification and characterization of a novel endoxifen substrate, PKC{beta}1, and its interaction with the estrogen receptor
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that endoxifen binds and inhibits PKCβ1 at relevant concentrations achieved in the endoxifen clinical trial studies. PKCβ1 interacts with cytoplasmic ERα and PKCβ1 knockdown inhibits cell proliferation and enhances ERα turnover. However, in PKCβ1 overexpressing cells, PKCβ1 may exhibit tumor suppressive effects. These data suggest a complex interaction between PKCβ1 and ERα and that endoxifen's effects on PKCβ1 may alter drug response of endocrine therapy. Further studies are ongoing to characterize the role of PKCβ1 and its role in ER biology and response to endoxifen.Cita...

Abstract P4-10-02: Transmembrane protein 33 (TMEM33) induces apoptosis via UPR signaling and autophagy in breast cancer cells
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that endoxifen binds and inhibits PKCβ1 at relevant concentrations achieved in the endoxifen clinical trial studies.

Role of EGF/ERBB1 in the transcriptional regulation of the prolactin receptor independent of estrogen and prolactin in breast cancer cells.
Authors: Kavarthapu R, Dufau ML Abstract Prolactin receptor (PRLR) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR/ERBB1) have important roles in the physiology of the human breast and in the etiology and progression of breast cancer. Our present studies in MCF-7 cells revealed that EGF induces up-regulation of PRLR via activation of EGFR signalling pathways leading to activation of estrogen receptor α (ERα). EGF treatment of MCF-7 cells cultured in absence of estradiol induced expression of PRLR that was consistent with the activation of PRLR generic promoter (hPIII). These were abolished by ERα antagonist and siRNA...

Abstract A35: WNT4 signaling mediates endocrine response and resistance in invasive lobular carcinoma cells
Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is a histological subtype of breast cancer, affecting ~30,000 U.S. women annually. Over 90% of ILC are estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, however, endocrine therapy may have poorer efficacy in a subset of ILC patients compared to invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) patients. Based on these observations, we assessed genome-wide ER-mediated gene expression and ER genomic binding in ILC cell lines MDA MB 134VI (MM134) and SUM44PE (44PE), to identify novel mediators of ER signaling and putative therapeutic targets specifically in ILC.Among ILC-specific estrogen-regulated genes, the most strongly indu...
