ABSTRACT The cochaperone p23 plays an important role in estrogen receptor alpha (ER) signal transduction. In this study, we investigated how p23 regulates ER target gene activation and affects tumor growth and progression. Remarkably, we found that changes in the expression of p23 differentially affected the activation of ER target genes in a manner dependent upon the type of DNA regulatory element. p23 overexpression enhanced the expression of the ER target genes cathepsin D and pS2, which are regulated by direct DNA binding of ER to estrogen response elements (ERE). In contrast, the expression of other target genes, including c-Myc, cyclin D1, and E2F1, to which ER is recruited indirectly through its interaction with other transcription factors remains unaffected by changes in p23 levels. The p23-induced expression of pS2 is associated with enhanced recruitment of ER to the ERE in the promoter, whereas ER recruitment to the ERE-less c-Myc promoter does not respond to p23. Intriguingly, p23-overexpressing MCF-7 cells exhibit increased adhesion and invasion in the presence of fibronectin. Our findings demonstrate that p23 differentially regulates ER target genes and is involved in the control of distinct cellular processes in breast tumor development, thus revealing novel functions of this cochaperone.

SummaryBlood platelets are thought to be involved in certain aspects of malignant dissemination. To study the role of platelets in tumor cell adherence to vascular endothelium we performed studies under static and flow conditions, measuring tumor cell adhesion in the absence or presence of platelets. We used highly metastatic human adenocarcinoma cells of the lung, cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (ECs) and extracellular matrices (ECM) prepared from confluent EC monolayers. Our results indicated that under static conditions platelets do not significantly increase tumor cell adhesion to either intact ECs or to exposed ECM. Conversely, the studies performed under flow conditions using the flat chamber perfusion system indicated that the presence of 2 × 105 pl/μl in the perfusate significantly increased the number of tumor cells adhered to ECM, and that this effect was shear rate dependent. The maximal values of tumor cell adhesion were obtained, in presence of platelets, at a shear rate of 1,300 sec-1. Furthermore, our results with ASA-treated platelets suggest that the role of platelets in enhancing tumor cell adhesion to ECM is independent of the activation of the platelet cyclooxygenase pathway.
