Effects of 27-hydroxycholesterol on cell growth and migration/invasion in the presence or absence of ER-α. Using the Muse cell analyser, we assessed the cell number for ( A ) MCF-7 after being transfected with ER-α siRNA (20 nm) and non-silencing RNA (20 nm) and dosed with 27OHC (0.1 μM) for 48 h. ( B ) Western immunoblot analysis was performed to show the protein abundance of ER-α in MCF-7 with or without ER-α silencing and 27OHC. β-Actin was used as a loading control. A trans-well migration/invasion assay was used for the migrated cells after 24 h, the cells were stained with crystal violet, and images were taken (×20 magnification). We quantified ( C ) cell migration and ( D ) invasion in MCF-7 cells after being transfected with ER-α siRNA and dosed with 27OHC. ( E ) Densitometry of the Western blot showing the protein abundance of ER-α, LXR-β, and ER-β after normalization to the reference protein GAPDH and B-actin. p -values were determined by using the one-way statistical analysis of GraphPad Prism: ANOVA test plus least significant difference (LSD) post-hoc test (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001). Scale bar represents 100 μM.

27OHC increases cell migration/invasion in ER-α-negative breast cancer cells via ER-β. A trans-well assay was used to detect ( A ) migration and ( B ) invasion after 6 h for MDA-MB-231 after being transfected with ER-β siRNA (60 nm) and non-silencing RNA (60 nm) and dosed with 27OHC (0.1 μM). ( C ) Western blotting was used to detect the abundance of ER-β with or without with ER-β silencing. The densitometry quantification of ER-β was assessed after normalization to β-actin. ( D ) We quantified cell migration after being dosed with 27OHC (0.1 μM) and PHTPP (5 μM). The migrated and invaded cells were stained with crystal violet, and images were taken (×20 magnification). ( E ) Scatterplot analysis of the TCGA data of 504 invasive breast cancer carcinomas for the mRNA expression of ER-β represented as the median expression of CYP27A1. ( F ) Scatterplot analysis of the METABRIC data of 1193 invasive breast cancer carcinomas for the mRNA expression of IGF-I represented as median expression of CYP27A1. ( G ) Scatterplot analysis of the TCGA data of 504 invasive breast cancer carcinomas for the mRNA expression of CYP27A1 represented as the median expression of ER-β. Results are presented as mean +/− SEM in ( A – D ); in ( E ), the horizontal line presents the mean. p -values were determined by using the one-way statistical analysis of GraphPad Prism: one-way ANOVA followed by least significant difference (LSD) post-hoc test (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001) ( A – D ); ( E ) Mann–Whitney test. Scale bar represents 100 μM.
