The estrogen receptor (ER) is expressed in approximately 70% of the breast carcinomas. In general, for these patients anti-hormonal therapy is the therapy of first choice. Despite good responses in 50-60% of the patients, unfortunately all patients develop (acquired) resistance. Patients with acquired anti-hormonal resistance can be subdivided into three different groups: (1) patients that have lost ER-expression (~25%), (2) patients with preserved ER-expression (~55%) and (3) patients with enhanced ER-expression (~30%). Several studies suggest different treatment strategies for these three different ER-phenotypes in antihormonal resistant breast cancer. In patients with acquired anti-hormonal resistance, ~30% of the patients still respond to hormone-additive therapy with estrogens. In vitro studies have shown estrogen-induced apoptosis in long-treated estrogen deprived cells (simulating aromatase inhibitor resistance). It is suggested that this estrogen-hypersensitivity is accompanied by ...

Despite constituting approximately two thirds of all breast cancers, the luminal A and B tumours are poorly classified at both clinical and molecular levels. There are contradictory reports on the nature of these subtypes: some define them as intrinsic entities, others as a continuum. With the aim of addressing these uncertainties and identifying molecular signatures of patients at risk, we conducted a comprehensive transcriptomic and genomic analysis of 2,425 luminal breast cancer samples. Our results indicate that the separation between the molecular luminal A and B subtypes-per definition-is not associated with intrinsic characteristics evident in the differentiation between other subtypes. Moreover, t-SNE and MST-kNN clustering approaches based on 10,000 probes, associated with luminal tumour initiation and/or development, revealed the close connections between luminal A and B tumours, with no evidence of a clear boundary between them. Thus, we considered all luminal tumours as a single

BACKGROUND: The biological effects of CD24 (FL-80) cross-linking on breast cancer cells have not yet been established. We examined the impact of CD24 cross-linking on human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. METHODS: MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with anti-rabbit polyclonal IgG or anti-human CD24 rabbit polyclonal antibodies to induce cross-linking, and then growth was studied. Changes in cell characteristics such as cell cycle modulation, cell death, survival in three-dimensional cultures, adhesion, and migration ability were assayed after CD24 cross-linking in MCF-7. RESULTS: Expression of CD24 was analyzed by flow cytometry in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells where 2% and 66% expression frequencies were observed, respectively. CD24 cross-linking resulted in time-dependent proliferation reduction in MCF-7 cells, but no reduction in MDA-MB-231 cells. MCF-7 cell survival was reduced by 15% in three-dimensional culture after CD24 cross-linking. Increased MCF-7 cell apoptosis was observed after ...

Surfactin has been known to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in surfactin-induced apoptosis remain poorly understood. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the underlying network of signaling events in surfactin-induced apoptosis of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. In this study, surfactin caused reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and the surfactin-induced cell death was prevented by antioxidants N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and catalase, suggesting involvement of ROS generation in surfactin-induced cell death. Surfactin induced a sustained activation of the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and JNK, but not p38. Moreover, surfactin-induced cell death was reversed by PD98059 (an inhibitor of ERK1/2) and SP600125 (an inhibitor of JNK), but not by SB203580 (an inhibitor of p38). However, the phosphorylation of JNK rather than ERK1/2 activation by surfactin was blocked by NAC/catalase. These results suggest that the action of ...

Recent studies have indicated a link between levels of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and development of the multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype. The ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 2 (ABCG2) is a major MDR-related transporter protein that is frequently overexpressed in cancer patients. In this study, we aimed to evaluate any positive correlation between COX-2 and ABCG2 gene expression using the COX-2 inducer 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in human breast cancer cell lines. ABCG2 mRNA and protein expression was studied using real-time RT-PCR and flow cytometry, respectively. A significant increase of COX-2 mRNA expression (up to 11-fold by 4 h) was induced by TPA in MDA-MB-231 cells, this induction effect being lower in MCF-7 cells. TPA caused a considerable increase up to 9-fold in ABCG2 mRNA expression in parental MCF-7 cells, while it caused a small enhancement in ABCG2 expression up to 67 % by 4 h followed by a time-dependent decrease in ABCG2 mRNA expression in MDA-MB-231 cells.

FOXM1 is a transcription factor that coordinates expression of late cell cycle-related genes. Elevated expression of FOXM1 in breast cancer correlates with a more aggressive tumor phenotype and, as we have previously shown, is associated with resistance to endocrine treatment via 14-3-3ζ protein signaling (Bergamaschi A. et al. Breast Cancer Research 2011, 13:R7).. To better understand the role that FOXM1 plays in endocrine resistance and aggressiveness we analyzed its genome-wide DNA binding and effects on gene expression. We mapped genome-wide FOXM1 binding events, by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq), in hormone-sensitive and resistant breast cancer cell lines after estrogen or tamoxifen treatments. We also investigated the relationship between FOXM1, estrogen receptor-α and MAPK chromatin binding events by clustering analysis of Chip-seq data and identified specific clusters of colocalized binding events as identifiers for different functional ...

A new finding provides fresh hope for the millions worldwide with oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer. Garvan scientists have shown that a specific change, which occurs when tumours become resistant to anti-oestrogen therapy, might make the cancers susceptible to treatment with chemotherapy drugs.

The invasion-promoting effect of ET-18-OMe on MCF-7/AZ cells suggests that ET-18-OMe initiates cSrc-mediated signalling in MCF-7/AZ cells, but not in the variant MCF-7/6 cells (Figure 1). Therefore the effect of ET-18-OMe on phosphorylation of Tyr397 of FAK, the autophosphorylation site of FAK, and Tyr416 of cSrc kinase was examined. Expression levels of FAK and cSrc in both cell lines were unchanged, but kinase activity of cSrc (Figures 2A, left-hand panel and 2B) and FAK (Figures 2A, left-hand panel and 2C) were greatly enhanced in MCF-7/AZ cells 5-10 min after treatment. There was no such activation of cSrc and FAK in MCF-7/6 cells (Figure 2A, right-hand panel). The use of cSrc kinase inhibitor, PP1, blocked activation of cSrc but not Tyr397 phosphorylation on FAK, suggesting that the autophosphorylation of FAK promotes activation of cSrc. Next, the cSrc-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation sites on FAK (Tyr576, Tyr861 and Tyr925) were assayed. Time-dependent phosphorylation of FAK on Tyr925 ...

The characterization of cells that have survived treatment with Adriamycin (MCF-7A), FUdR (MCF-7F), or cells that were subjected to sequential treatment with Adriamycin and FUdR (MCF-7 A/F) was performed to determine whether populations of cells surviving these treatments present different phenotypes than parental, untreated MCF-7 cells. Cells were treated with several concentrations of each of the chemotherapeutic agents. Cell populations from cultures treated with the highest concentrations of Adriamycin or FUdR, still containing viable cells after the period of treatment, were selected. The survivors of the initial Adriamycin treatment were those that remained alive after 5 days of Adriamycin treatment at a concentration of 25 ng/ml, and the survivors of the FUdR treatment were those that survived 3 days of treatment at a concentration of 10 μg/ml of FUdR. These were the highest concentrations in which cells survived, under the conditions used. The MCF-7 A/F cells were developed by treating ...

A majority of breast cancer, however, will often fail to respond to endocrine therapy. In the present study, we explored miRNAs associated with endocrine therapy resistance in breast cancer. High-throughput miRNA sequencing was performed using RNAs prepared from breast cancer MCF-7 cells and their derivative clones as endocrine therapy resistant cell models, including tamoxifen-resistant (TamR) and long-term estrogen-deprived (LTED) MCF-7 cells. Notably, ...

Signaling pathways that converge on two different transcription factor complexes, NFκB and AP-1, have been identified in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancers resistant to the antiestrogen, tamoxifen. Two cell line models of tamoxifen-resistant ER-positive breast cancer, MCF7/HER2 and BT474, showing increased AP-1 and NFκB DNA-binding and transcriptional activities, were studied to compare tamoxifen effects on NFκB and AP-1 regulated reporter genes relative to tamoxifen-sensitive MCF7 cells. The model cell lines were treated with the IKK inhibitor parthenolide (PA) or the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (PS341), alone and in combination with tamoxifen. Expression microarray data available from 54 UCSF node-negative ER-positive breast cancer cases with known clinical outcome were used to search for potential genes signifying upregulated NFκB and AP-1 transcriptional activity in association with tamoxifen resistance. The association of these genes with patient outcome was further evaluated

Overexpression the KCNJ3, a gene that encodes subunit 1 of G-protein activated inwardly rectifying K+ channel (GIRK1) in the primary tumor has been found to be associated with reduced survival times and increased lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients. In order to survey possible tumorigenic properties of GIRK1 overexpression, a range of malignant mammary epithelial cells, based on the MCF-7 cell line that permanently overexpress different splice variants of the KCNJ3 gene (GIRK1a, GIRK1c, GIRK1d and as a control, eYFP) were produced. Subsequently, selected cardinal neoplasia associated cellular parameters were assessed and compared. Adhesion to fibronectin coated surface as well as cell proliferation remained unaffected. Other vital parameters intimately linked to malignancy, i.e. wound healing, chemoinvasion, cellular velocities / motilities and angiogenesis were massively affected by GIRK1 overexpression. Overexpression of different GIRK1 splice variants exerted differential actions. While

MCF-7 is a breast cancer cell line isolated in 1970 from a 69-year-old Caucasian woman. MCF-7 is the acronym of Michigan Cancer Foundation-7, referring to the institute in Detroit where the cell line was established in 1973 by Herbert Soule and co-workers. The Michigan Cancer Foundation is now known as the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute. Prior to MCF-7, it was not possible for cancer researchers to obtain a mammary cell line that was capable of living longer than a few months. The patient, Frances Mallon died in 1970. Her cells were the source of much of current knowledge about breast cancer. At the time of sampling, she was a nun in the convent of Immaculate Heart of Mary in Monroe, Michigan under the name of Sister Catherine Frances. MCF-7 and two other breast cancer cell lines, named T-47D and MDA-MB-231, account for more than two-thirds of all abstracts reporting studies on mentioned breast cancer cell lines, as concluded from a Medline-based survey. MCF-7 cells have the following ...

Foci, nodules of cellular overgrowth, that appear after confluence are an in vitro characteristic of malignant transformation. A well-studied in vitro model of estrogen-dependent tumors is the MCF-7 cell line, derived from a pleural metastasis of a human breast adenocarcinoma. We report that cultivation of MCF-7 cells, using routine methods, results in extensive estrogen-stimulated postconfluent cell accumulation characterized by discrete three-dimensional arrays. Side view Nomarski optical sections revealed these to be principally multicellular foci with occasional domes and pseudoacinar vacuoles. This effect on MCF-7 cell growth occurs in media containing fetal bovine serum but not with calf serum or charcoal-dextran-treated fetal bovine serum unless supplemented with estrogens. Foci formation starts 5-6 days after confluence, and the number of foci generated is a function of the concentration of added estrogens. Foci formation is suppressed by the antiestrogens Tamoxifen and LY 156758. Addition of

A receptor blotting technique was used to detect SH2 domain containing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) substrates that exhibited differential expression either between normal breast epithelial cells and breast cancer cells or between different human breast cancer cell lines. This identified a 25 kD protein, subsequently identified as Grb2, which was markedly overexpressed in three breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7, MDA-MB-361 and -453) relative to both normal breast epithelial cells and the majority of breast cancer cell lines. Northern blot analysis revealed that 7/19 breast cancer cell lines exhibited more than twofold overexpression of Grb2 mRNA, with overexpression correlating with high expression of erbB receptors. In MCF-7, MDA-MB-361 and -453 cells the overexpression of Grb2 mRNA and protein was accompanied by a small amplification of the Grb2 gene locus. Overexpression of Grb2 correlated with increased complex formation between Grb2 and the hSos-1 Ras GDP-GTP exchange protein. This

20(S)-Protopanaxadiol (PPD), a ginsenoside isolated from Pananx quinquefolium L., has been shown to inhibit growth and proliferation in several cancer cell lines. The aim of this study was to evaluate its anticancer activity in human breast cancer cells. MCF-7 cells were incubated with different concentrations of 20(S)-PPD and cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT assay. Occurrence of apoptosis was detected by DAPI and Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. Mitochondrial membrane potential was measured with Rhodamine 123. The Bcl-2 and Bax expression were determined by Western blot analysis. Caspase activity was measured by colorimetric assay. 20(S)-PPD dose-dependently inhibited cell proliferation in MCF-7 cells, with an |TEX|$IC_{50}$|/TEX| value of |TEX|$33.3{\mu}M$|/TEX| at 24h. MCF-7 cells treated with 20(S)-PPD presented typical apoptosis, as observed by morphological analysis in cell stained with DAPI. The percentages of annexin V-FITC positive cells were 8.92%, 17.8%, 24.5% and 30.5% in MCF-7 cells

We found that the modified nucleosides 5,6-dihydrouridine (DHU), Ψ, acp3U, 3-methylcytidine (m3C), 5-methyluridine (m5U), 3-methyluridine (m3U), xanthosine (X), 1-methylguanosine (m1G), m22G, N2,N2,7-trimethylguanosine (m2,2,7G), mcm5s2U, N6-threonylcarbamoyladenosine (t6A) and m6t6A are elevated in the supernatants of MCF-7 cells compared to those of MCF-10A cells. Therefore, we generally considered a compound level as elevated when the area ratio exceeds the mean value of the reference cell line by two standard deviation values (2σ-concept) [5]. The methylated nucleoside N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is not included in this list because it can be formed through isomerization of 1-methyladenosine (m1A) and thus could not be normalized.. Especially the levels of m5U with ratios ~4/1 (MCF-7/MCF-10A), m2,2,7G (~2:1), m6t6A (~2:1) and acp3U (~2:1) should be pointed out.. m5U is present in eukaryotic tRNA and rRNA [22].

Nevertheless, if I was diagnosed with early stage luminal breast cancer or DCIS, I would likely opt for intensive therapy, regardless of the risk. I would swallow my concerns and go in, get the surgery, have radiation treatment, if needed anti-hormonal treatment, and perhaps chemo-despite the fact that there is a reasonably high probability that the DCIS or low grade tumor never would have progressed anyway. However, if there was a good biomarker that could be used to determine whether my DCIS would progress or my low grade invasive cancer would metastasize, then I would be empowered to make a more considered decision. Clearly as a clinical community we are over-treating a huge number of individuals, but without good biomarkers and information regarding tumor behavior we are flying half blind. So how do we figure out which ones to treat really aggressively, and which ones not? Those are the kinds of questions we are trying to answer.. Is there an upcoming potential application of your ...

miR-21 is a key molecule in a wide range of cancers, and identifying its functional role in BC has direct clinical implications. We show here that knockdown of miR-21 suppresses cell growth and proliferation of MCF-7 cells in vitro, and suppresses MCF-7 xenograft growth. This result is consistent with the findings of Si et al. [9]. Interestingly, our study suggests that LNA-antimiR-21 also suppresses the growth and proliferation of MDA-MB-231 in vitro, in contrast to a recent report that found no effect of LNA-antimiR-21 on the growth of MDA-MB-231 in vitro or in vivo, although anti-miR-21-treated tumors were slightly smaller than control tumors [10]. One possibility could be differences in transfection efficiency, or miRNA ASO potency. Our results suggest that, as an oncomir, miR-21 also affects cell migration.. MCF-7 cells are hormone-sensitive and difficult to culture in vivo. Therefore, we used 17-estradiol to facilitate MCF-7 cells growth in nude mice, which is a common technique. Recently, ...

Results: Using real-time PCR, to quantify the influence on the expression of the ET axis, we found that ZD4054 significantly reduced ET-1, ETAR, and ECE-1 mRNA expression in MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, we investigated the effect of ZD4054 on breast cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. As expected from previous studies, proliferation of breast cancer cells was not affected by ZD4054. However, ZD4054 significantly reduced cellular migration by up to 26.7% (MDA-MB-468; P,0.001) and cellular invasion by up to 46.3% (MCF-7; P,0.001). In aromatase-overexpressing MCF-7aro cells, when either ZD4054 or the aromatase inhibitors were administered alone, there were minimal effects on cellular migration. However, combinations of ZD4054 with either anastrozole or letrozole produced significant reductions in cellular migration (P,0.05). In MCF-7 cells, combination of ZD4054 with the estrogen receptor downregulator, ...

Description CAMA-1 is a luminal-type human breast cancer cell line that displays rounded morphology in adherent tissue culture. These cells are considered Her2-negative and estrogen-receptor/progesterone-receptor (ER/PR)-positive. They are responsive to estrogen and sensitive to growth inhibition by tamoxifen. The CAMA-1 cells have an in-frame mutation in the E-cadherin gene, resulting in a truncated, non-functional protein. In addition, they have oncogenic mutations in PTEN and p53 and amplification of the cyclin D1 gene.
