Paclitaxel (Tx) is a widely used therapeutic chemical for breast cancer treatment; however, cancer recurrence remains an obstacle for improved prognosis of cancer patients. In this study, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) was tested for its potential to overcome the drug resistance. After developing Tx-resistant MCF-7 (MCF-7/TxR) breast cancer cells, CAP was applied to the cells, and its effect on the recovery of drug sensitivity was assessed in both cellular and molecular aspects. Sensitivity to Tx in the MCF-7/TxR cells was restored up to 73% by CAP. A comparison of genome-wide expression profiles between the TxR cells and the CAP-treated cells identified 49 genes that commonly appeared with significant changes. Notably, 20 genes, such as KIF13B, GOLM1, and TLE4, showed opposite expression profiles. The protein expression levels of selected genes, DAGLA and CEACAM1, were recovered to those of their parental cells by CAP. Taken together, CAP inhibited the growth of MCF-7/TxR cancer cells and recovered Tx sensitivity by resetting the expression of multiple drug resistance–related genes. These findings may contribute to extending the application of CAP to the treatment of TxR cancer.

Abstract Purpose Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in women. Five subtypes of breast cancer differ in their genetic expression profiles and carry different prognostic values, with no treatments available for some types, such as triple-negative, due to the absence of genetic signatures that could otherwise be targeted by molecular therapies. Although endocrine treatments are largely successful for estrogen receptor (ER)-positive cancers, a significant proportion of patients with metastatic tumors fail to respond and acquire resistance to therapy. FOXA1 overexpression mediates endocrine therapy resistance in ER-positive breast cancer, although the regulation of chemotherapy response by FOXA1 has not been addressed previously. FOXA1, together with EP300 and RUNX1, regulates the expression of E-cadherin, and is expressed in luminal, but absent in triple-negative and basal-like breast cancers. We have previously determined that EP300 regulates drug resistance and tumor initiation capabilities in breast cancer cells. Methods Here we describe the generation of breast cancer cell models in which FOXA1 expression has been modulated either by expression of hairpins targeting FOXA1 mRNA or overexpression plasmids. Results Upon FOXA1 knockdown in luminal MCF-7 and T47D cells, we found an increase in doxorubicin and paclitaxel sensitivity as well as a decrease in anchorage independence. Conversely, upregulation of FOXA1 in basal-like MDA-MB-231 cells led to an increase in drug resistance and anchorage independence. Conclusion Together, these data suggest that FOXA1 plays a role in making tumors more aggressive.

Abstractβ-Arrestins (βArrs) are intracellular signal regulating proteins. Their expression level varies in some cancers and they have a significant impact on cancer cell function. In general, the significance of βArrs in cancer research comes from studies examining GPCR signalling. Given the diversity of different GPCR signals in cancer cell regulation, contradictory results are inevitable regarding the role of βArrs. Our approach examines the direct influence of βArrs on cellular function and gene expression profiles by changing their expression levels in breast cancer cells, MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468. Reducing expression of βArr1 or βArr2 tended to increase cell proliferation and invasion whereas increasing their expression levels inhibited them. The overexpression of βArrs caused cell cycle S-phase arrest and differential expression of cell cycle genes, CDC45, BUB1, CCNB1, CCNB2, CDKN2C and reduced HER3, IGF-1R, and Snail. Regarding to the clinical relevance of our results, low expression levels of βArr1 were inversely correlated with CDC45, BUB1, CCNB1, and CCNB2 genes compared to normal tissue samples while positively correlated with poorer prognosis in breast tumours. These results indicate that βArr1 and βArr2 are significantly involved in cell cycle and anticancer signalling pathways through their influence on cell cycle genes and HER3, IGF-1R, and Snail in TNBC cells.
