ETV7-Mediated DNAJC15 Repression Leads to Doxorubicin Resistance in Breast Cancer Cells

Abstract

Breast cancer treatment often includes Doxorubicin as adjuvant as well as neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Despite its cytotoxicity, cells can develop drug resistance to Doxorubicin. Uncovering pathways and mechanisms involved in drug resistance is an urgent and critical aim for breast cancer research oriented to improve treatment efficacy. Here we show that Doxorubicin and other chemotherapeutic drugs induce the expression of ETV7, a transcriptional repressor member of ETS family of transcription factors. The ETV7 expression led to DNAJC15 down-regulation, a co-chaperone protein whose low expression was previously associated with drug resistance in breast and ovarian cancer. There was a corresponding reduction in Doxorubicin sensitivity of MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. We identified the binding site for ETV7 within DNAJC15 promoter and we also found that DNA methylation may be a factor in ETV7-mediated DNAJC15 transcriptional repression. These findings of an inverse correlation between ETV7 and DNAJC15 expression in MCF7 cells in terms of Doxorubicin resistance, correlated well with treatment responses of breast cancer patients with recurrent disease, based on our analyses of reported genome-wide expression arrays.

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.
