AbstractBreast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women and 70% of the cases are hormone-dependent. The presence of ERα is one of the most important prognostic factors predictive of response to endocrine therapy in human breast cancers. Resistance to endocrine therapies has become a major public health concern and it appears essential to understand the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. This review provides insights into the molecular mechanisms associated with resistance to endocrine therapies and presents the different strategies currently developed in pre-clinical models to overcome this resistance.

MRCKα is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine kinase involved in cell contraction and F-actin turnover, which is highly amplified in human breast cancer and part of a gene expression signature for bad prognosis. Nothing is known about the in vivo function of MRCKα. To explore MRCKα function in development and in breast cancer, we generated mice lacking a functional MRCKα gene. Mice were born close to the Mendelian ratio and showed no obvious phenotype including a normal mammary gland formation. Assessing breast cancer development using the transgenic MMTV-PyMT mouse model, loss of MRCKα did not affect tumor onset, tumor growth and metastasis formation. Deleting MRCKα and its related family member MRCKβ in two triple-negative breast cancer cell lines resulted in reduced invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells, but did not affect migration of 4T1 cells. Further genomic analysis of human breast cancers revealed that MRCKα is frequently co-amplified with the oncogenes ARID4B and AKT3 which might contribute to the prognostic value of MRCKα expression. Collectively, these data suggest that MRCKα might be a prognostic marker for breast cancer, but probably of limited functional importance.
