Regulation of estrogen receptor {alpha} (ER{alpha}) plays an important role in hormone-responsiveness and growth of ER-positive breast cancer cells and tumors. ZR-75 breast cancer cells were grown under conditions of normoxia (21% O2) or hypoxia (1% O2 or cobaltous chloride), and hypoxia significantly increased hypoxia-inducible factor 1{alpha} (HIF1{alpha}) protein within 3 h after treatment, whereas estrogen receptor {alpha} (ER{alpha}) protein levels were dramatically decreased within 6--12 h, and this response was blocked by the proteasome inhibitor MG-132. In contrast, hypoxia induced only minimal decreases in cellular Sp1 protein and did not affect ER{alpha} mRNA; however, hypoxic conditions decreased basal and E2-induced pS2 gene expression (mRNA levels) and estrogen response element-dependent reporter gene activity in ZR-75 cells. Although E2 and hypoxia induce proteasome-dependent degradation of ER{alpha}, their effects on transactivation are different and this may have implications for clinical treatment of mammary tumors.


Key words: ER{alpha} • degradation • proteasome • ZR-75 cells • breast cancer
