AbstractBackground. Functional erythropoietin (EPO) signaling is not specific only to erythroid lineages and has been confirmed in several solid tumors, including breast. Three different isoforms of erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) have been reported, the soluble (EPOR-S) and truncated (EPOR-T) forms acting antagonistically to the functional EPOR. In this study, we investigated the effect of human recombinant erythropoietin (rHuEPO) on cell proliferation, early gene response and the expression of EPOR isoforms in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line.Materials and methods. The MCF-7 cells were cultured with or without rHuEPO for 72 h or 10 weeks and assessed for their growth characteristics, expression of early response genes and different EPOR isoforms. The expression profile of EPOR and EPOR-T was determined in a range of breast cancer cell lines and compared with their invasive properties.Results. MCF-7 cell proliferation after rHuEPO treatment was dependent on the time of treatment and the concentration used. High rHuEPO concentrations (40 U/ml) stimulated cell proliferation independently of a preceding long-term exposure of MCF-7 cells to rHuEPO, while lower concentrations increased MCF-7 proliferation only after 10 weeks of treatment. Gene expression analysis showed activation of EGR1 and FOS, confirming the functionality of EPOR. rHuEPO treatment also slightly increased the expression of the functional EPOR isoform, which, however, persisted throughout the 10 weeks of treatment. The expression levels of EPOR-T were not influenced. There were no correlations between EPOR expression and the invasiveness of MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, Hs578T, Hs578Bst, SKBR3, T-47D and MCF-10A cell lines.Conclusions. rHuEPO modulates MCF-7 cell proliferation in time- and concentration-dependent manner. We confirmed EGR1, FOS and EPOR as transcription targets of the EPO-EPOR signaling loop, but could not correlate the expression of different EPOR isoforms with the invasiveness of breast cancer cell lines.

Metabolizing Enzyme

Many cancers, including breast cancer, have shown differential expression of human arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1). The exact effect this differential expression has on disease risk and progression remains unclear. While NAT1 is classically defined as a xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme, other functions and roles in endogenous metabolism have recently been described providing additional impetus for investigating the effects of varying levels of NAT1 on global gene expression. Our objective is to further evaluate the role of NAT1 in breast cancer by determining the effect of NAT1 overexpression, knockdown, and knockout on global gene expression in MDA-MB-231 cell lines. RNA-seq was utilized to interrogate differential gene expression (genes correlated with NAT1 activity) across three biological replicates of previously constructed and characterized MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines expressing parental (Scrambled), increased (Up), decreased (Down, CRISPR 2–12), or knockout (CRISPR 2–19, CRISPR 5–50) levels of NAT1. 3,889 genes were significantly associated with the NAT1 N-acetylation activity of the cell lines (adjusted p ≤ 0.05); of those 3,889 genes, 1,756 were positively associated with NAT1 N-acetylation activity and 2,133 were negatively associated with NAT1 N-acetylation activity. An enrichment of genes involved in cell adhesion was observed. Additionally, human arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) transcripts were observed in the complete NAT1 knockout cell lines (CRISPR 2–19 and CRISPR 5–50). This study provides further evidence that NAT1 functions as more than just a drug metabolizing enzyme given the observation that differences in NAT1 activity have significant impacts on global gene expression. Additionally, our data suggests the knockout of NAT1 results in transcription of its isozyme NAT2.
