Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), a key regulator of transcriptional responses to proteotoxic stress, was linked to estrogen (E2) signaling through estrogen receptor α (ERα). We found that an HSF1 deficiency may decrease ERα level, attenuate the mitogenic action of E2, counteract E2-stimulated cell scattering, and reduce adhesion to collagens and cell motility in ER-positive breast cancer cells. The stimulatory effect of E2 on the transcriptome is largely weaker in HSF1-deficient cells, in part due to the higher basal expression of E2-dependent genes, which correlates with the enhanced binding of unliganded ERα to chromatin in such cells. HSF1 and ERα can cooperate directly in E2-stimulated regulation of transcription, and HSF1 potentiates the action of ERα through a mechanism involving chromatin reorganization. Furthermore, HSF1 deficiency may increase the sensitivity to hormonal therapy (4-hydroxytamoxifen) or CDK4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib). Analyses of data from the TCGA database indicate that HSF1 increases the transcriptome disparity in ER-positive breast cancer and can enhance the genomic action of ERα. Moreover, only in ER-positive cancers, an elevated HSF1 level is associated with metastatic disease.

SummaryTo survive aneuploidy-induced proteotoxic stress, cancer cells activate the proteotoxic-stress response pathway, which is controlled by heat shock factor 1 (HSF1). This pathway supports cancer initiation, cancer progression and chemoresistance and thus is an attractive target. As developing HSF1 inhibitors is challenging, the identification and targeting of upstream regulators of HSF1 presents a tractable alternative strategy. Here we demonstrate that in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, the dual-specificity tyrosine-regulated kinase 2 (DYRK2) phosphorylates HSF1, promoting its nuclear stability and transcriptional activity. Thus, DYRK2 depletion reduces HSF1 activity and sensitises TNBC cells to proteotoxic stress. Importantly, in tumours from TNBC patients, DYRK2 levels positively correlate with active HSF1 and associates with poor prognosis, suggesting that DYRK2 could be promoting TNBC. In agreement with this, DYRK2 depletion reduces tumour growth in a TNBC xenograft model. These findings identify DYRK2 as both, a key modulator of the HSF1 transcriptional program, and a potential therapeutic target.

Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), a key regulator of transcriptional responses to proteotoxic stress, was recently linked to estrogen (E2) signaling through ESR1. We found that an HSF1 deficiency could lead to the inhibition of the mitogenic action of E2 in breast cancer cells. The stimulatory effect of E2 on the transcriptome is weaker in HSF1-deficient cells, in part due to the higher basal expression of E2-dependent genes, which correlates with the enhanced binding of unliganded ESR1 to chromatin. HSF1 and ESR1 can cooperate directly in E2-stimulated regulation of transcription, and HSF1 potentiates the action of ESR1 through a mechanism involving chromatin reorganization. Analyses of data from the TCGA database indicate that HSF1 increases the transcriptome diversity in ER-positive breast cancer and can enhance the genomic action of ESR1. Moreover, ESR1 and HSF1 are only prognostic when analyzed together (the worst prognosis for ER−/HSF1high cancers).
