Title Transcriptional properties of estrogen receptor fusion genes.
Organism Homo sapiens
Experiment type Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
Genome binding/occupancy profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) detects estrogen receptor alpha gene (ESR1) fusion transcripts in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer but their role in disease pathogenesis remains unclear. Herein we examined multiple in-frame and out-of-frame ESR1 fusions and found that two, both identified in advanced endocrine treatment resistant disease, encoded stable and functional in-frame fusion proteins. In both examples, ESR1-e6>YAP1 and ESR1-e6>PCDH11X, the N-terminal, DNA binding and dimerization motifs encoded by exons 2-6 were fused to C terminal sequences from the partner gene. Functional properties included estrogen-independent growth, constitutive expression of ER target genes, anti-estrogen resistance, induction of cellular motility in vitro and the development of lung metastasis in vivo. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and RNA sequencing experiments showed both fusions uniquely activated a metastasis-associated transcriptional program. ESR1-e6>YAP1 and ESR1-e6>PCDH11X-induced growth remained sensitive to a CDK4/6 inhibitor, palbociclib, and a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) naturally expressing the ESR1-e6>YAP1 fusion was also responsive. Transcriptionally active ESR1 fusions therefore trigger both endocrine therapy resistance and metastatic progression explaining the association with fatal disease progression, although CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment is predicted to be effective.
 
Overall design HA-ChIP-seq and RNA-seq of stable T47D breast cancer cell lines expressing HA-tagged ESR1 constructs in hormone deprived media -/+ E2. HA-ChIP DNA from YFP-HA expressing cells was used as input.
