Abstract

Estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) inhibits proliferation in different cellular systems by regulating components of the cell cycle machinery. Eukaryotic cells respond to DNA damage by arresting in G₁, S, or G₂ phases of the cell cycle to initiate DNA repair. Most tumor cells due to disruptions in the p53-dependent G₁ pathway are dependent on S-phase and G₂/M checkpoints to maintain genomic integrity in response to DNA damage. We report that induction of ERβ expression causes abrogation of the S-phase, and the Chk1/Cdc25C-mediated G₂/M checkpoints after cisplatin and doxorubicin exposure in p53-defective breast cancer cells but not in p53 wild-type mammary cells. This impairment of DNA damage response that involves BRCA1 downregulation and caspase-2 activation results in mitotic catastrophe and decreased cancer cell survival. These results indicate that in cancers where p53 is defective, assessment of the presence of ERβ may be of predictive value for the successful response to chemotherapy.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.

Cancer Genomics (Keystone)

Cancer genomics approaches employ high-throughput technologies to identify the complete catalog of somatic alterations that characterize the genome, transcriptome and epigenome of cohorts of tumor samples. Discover the latest research using such technologies in this feed.

Breast Cancer: BRCA1 & BRCA2

Mutations involving BRCA1, found on chromosome 17, and BRCA2, found on chromosome 13, increase the risk for specific cancers, such as breast cancer. Discover the last research on breast cancer BRCA1 and BRCA2 here.

Breast Cancer: Chemo-Resistance

Some cancers are difficult to treat and aggressive including the "triple-negative" breast cancer. This type of cancer is chemoresistant even before chemotherapy begins. Here are the latest discoveries chemo-resistance in breast cancer.

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.
