Figure Legend Snippet: (A) Thirty nine human breast carcinoma tissue samples were stained with anti-p-ERK5 (Thr218/Tyr220) and H&E, results demonstrate representative samples with histological score (H-score) 0–2. (B) Western Blot for protein expression levels of phospho- and total ERK5 and ER-α across breast cancer cell lines. (C) MCF-7 cells expressing either MEK5 (MCF7-MEK5) or empty vector were injected into the mammary fat pad of Nu/Nu mice in the presence of E2 pellets (0.76 mg, 60 day release) (n = 10/group). Points represent mean tumor volume ± SEM; * significantly different from vector p<0.05; ** significantly different from vector p<0.01.
Techniques Used: Staining, Western Blot, Expressing, Plasmid Preparation, Injection
Figure Legend Snippet: (A) MCF-7-vector and MCF-7-MEK5 cells were harvested for total RNA isolation and expression of ER-α mRNA determined using qRT-PCR. Data is represented as mean fold stimulated gene expression normalized to β-actin and vector cells designated as 1. Error bars represent SEM, n = 3. (B) ERE luciferase for MCF-7-vector and –MEK5 cells transiently transfected with pGL2-ERE2X-TK-luciferase plasmid and treated with E2 or vehicle for. Results represent normalized luminescence. Normalization was to vector treated with vehicle and designated as 100 (C) qRT-PCR for MCF-7-vector and –Mek5 cells was performed for E2 responsive genes PgR, SDF-1, c-MYC and Cathepsin-D following E2 treatment. Data is represented as mean fold stimulated gene expression normalized to vehicle treated MCF-7-vcetor cells designnated as 1. Error bars represent SEM, n = 3 independent experiments. (D) MTT ana;ysis of MCF-7-vector and –Mek5 cells following treatment with indicated concentrations of vehicle, ICI or Tam for 24 hours. Data are presented as mean percentage of vehicle treated samples with vehicle normalized to 100. Error bars represent S.E.M., n = 4 independent experiment. (E) Colony assay for MCF-7-vector and –Mek5 cells following treatment with DMSO (vehicle), ICI or Tam. Cells were allowed to grow for 10 days. Colonies of >50 were counted as positive. Results were normalized to percent clonogenic survival of vehicle control cells. Data represented as mean ± S.E.M., n = 4 independent experiments. *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01; ***, P<0.001.
Techniques Used: Plasmid Preparation, Isolation, Expressing, Quantitative RT-PCR, Luciferase, Transfection, Colony Assay
Figure Legend Snippet: (A) MEK5 (MCF7-MEK5) or vector cells were injected into the mammary fat pad of Nu/Nu mice. Tumor growth was monitored biweekly after palpable tumor formation (n = 10/group). Points represent mean TV ± SEM; *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01. (B) Endpoint tumors from xenograft model of MCF-7-vector and MCF-7-MEK5 treated with E2 were harvested and processed for H&E staining or immunohistochemistry for ER-α or PgR levels.
Techniques Used: Plasmid Preparation, Injection, Staining, Immunohistochemistry
Figure Legend Snippet: MCF-7-MEK5 cells were transfected with empty vector or ERK5 shRNA. Decreased expression of ERK5 was confirmed with (A) RT-PCR and (B) western blot analysis. (C) MCF-7-MEK5-(vector) or MCF-7-MEK5-(ERK5-shRNA) cells (5×10 5 ) were injected into the mammary fat pad of Nu/Nu mice in the presence of E2 pellets (0.72 mg, 60 day release) (n = 10/group). Tumor growth was monitored daily after palpable tumor formation. Points represent mean tumor volume ± SEM; **, P<0.01. (D) RT-PCR analysis of ER-α, ER-β, AP2γ, ERK5 expression or GADPH (control) expression. Data shown is representative of analysis of three independent experiments. (E) Western blot analysis of ER-α, ER-β, AP2γ expression with GAPDH measured as control. Blots shown are representative of three independent experiments.
Techniques Used: Transfection, Plasmid Preparation, shRNA, Expressing, Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction, Western Blot, Injection
