    Effect of knockdown of <t>ATF2</t> on growth and tumourigenesis of MCF7 and TAMR (MCF7-derived tamoxifen-resistant) cell lines. MCF7 ( a ) and TAMR ( b ) cells were transfected with negative control siRNA (siControl), ATF2-siRNA1 and ATF2-siRNA2. Protein lysates were prepared and immunoblotting was carried out for ATF2 with β-actin as a loading control. c Densitometry analysis of knockdown efficiency relative to untransfected cells. SRB growth assay for MCF7 ( d ) and TAMR ( e ) indicated a significant growth reduction in TAMR cells after ATF2 silencing ( n = 3). f Graph indicating the percentage of growth at day 5 relative to untransfected cells. g The effect of ATF2 knockdown on tumourigenesis was determined by anchorage-independent colony formation. Although there was a reduction of colonies in the MCF7 cells after ATF2 silencing, this reduction was more profound in the TAMRs ( n = 3). Asterisks indicate statistically significant (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.005) difference from untransfected cells

    Effect of knockdown of ATF2 on growth and tumourigenesis of MCF7 and TAMR (MCF7-derived tamoxifen-resistant) cell lines. MCF7 ( a ) and TAMR ( b ) cells were transfected with negative control siRNA (siControl), ATF2-siRNA1 and ATF2-siRNA2. Protein lysates were prepared and immunoblotting was carried out for ATF2 with β-actin as a loading control. c Densitometry analysis of knockdown efficiency relative to untransfected cells. SRB growth assay for MCF7 ( d ) and TAMR ( e ) indicated a significant growth reduction in TAMR cells after ATF2 silencing ( n = 3). f Graph indicating the percentage of growth at day 5 relative to untransfected cells. g The effect of ATF2 knockdown on tumourigenesis was determined by anchorage-independent colony formation. Although there was a reduction of colonies in the MCF7 cells after ATF2 silencing, this reduction was more profound in the TAMRs ( n = 3). Asterisks indicate statistically significant (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.005) difference from untransfected cells

    Effect of knockdown of ATF2 on ER and ER-regulated genes and proposed model of resistance. a – f MCF7 (left bars) and TAMR (right bars) cells were transfected with ATF2 siRNA and qRT-PCR was carried for ATF2 ( a ), ERα ( ESR1 ) ( b ), TFF1 ( c ), GREB1 ( d ), PGR ( e ) and NCOA3 ( f ) using TaqMan primers. GAPDH was used as the housekeeping gene and changes in mRNA levels after ATF2 knockdown were calculated relative to the control. Asterisks indicate the genes that were significantly changed after ATF2 knockdown (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.005). g Protein lysates were also prepared in triplicates of three independent experiments and immunoblotting was carried out using the antibodies indicated. ATF2 knockdown had no effect on the ER and ER-regulated genes on the tamoxifen-sensitive MCF7 cells but affected their expression both on the mRNA and protein levels on the tamoxifen-resistant TAMRs. The following model of resistance is proposed: h In endocrine-sensitive cells, gene transcription is ER-dependent and endocrine therapy is able to stop their growth and proliferation. However, endocrine-resistant cells have a shift from ER-dependent to an ER-independent ATF2-dependent transcriptional program and therefore, they are not responding to endocrine treatment. i Targeting the ATF-2 transcription factor in endocrine-resistant cells represents a new mechanism to revert resistance and enhance endocrine sensitivity. The genes shown in this model ( h , i ) such as TFF1, GREB1 and NCOA3 are examples of resistance candidates only, since their biological function to endocrine resistance has not been validated in animal models in this study
