Recent studies indicate that the expression of ERß in breast
cancer is lower than in the normal breast, suggesting that ERß could
play an important role in carcinogenesis. To investigate this
hypothesis, we engineered ER-negative MDA-MB-231 (human breast cancer
cells) to reintroduce either ER
or ERß protein with an adenoviral
vector. In these cells, ERß (as ER
) expression was monitored using
RT-PCR and Western blot. ERß protein was localized in the nucleus
(immunocytochemistry) and able to transactivate estrogen-responsive
reporter constructs in the presence of E2. ERß and ER
induced the
expression of several endogenous genes such as pS2, TGF
, or the
cyclin kinase inhibitor p21 but, in contrast to ER
, ERß was unable
to regulate c-myc proto-oncogene expression. The pure
antiestrogen ICI 164, 384 completely blocked ER
and ERß
estrogen-induced activities. ERß inhibited MDA-MB-231 cell
proliferation in a ligand-independent manner, whereas ER
inhibition
of proliferation is hormone dependent. Moreover, ERß and ER
decreased cell motility and invasion. Our data bring the first evidence
that ERß is an important modulator of proliferation and invasion of
breast cancer cells and support the hypothesis that the loss of ERß
expression could be one of the events leading to the development of
breast cancer.
