To explore the estrogen-regulated genes genome-widely in breast cancer, cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE) sequencing was performed in MCF-7 cells under estrogen treatment. Estrogen-regulated expressional changes were found in 1537 CAGE tag clusters (TCs) (⩾1.5 or ⩽0.66-folds). Among them, 15 TCs were situated in the vicinity of (⩽10 kb) reported estrogen receptor-binding sites. Knockdown experiments of the 15 TC-associated genes demonstrated that the genes such as RAMP3, ISOC1 and GPRC5C potentially regulate the growth or migration of MCF-7 cells. These results suggest that CAGE sequencing will reveal novel estrogen target genes in breast cancer.
为了全面探索乳腺癌中受雌激素调控的基因,我们对 MCF-7 细胞在雌激素处理下的基因表达进行了帽状分析基因表达测序(CAGE 测序)。在 1537 个 CAGE 标签簇(TCs)(≥1.5 或≤0.66 倍)中发现了雌激素调控的表达变化。其中,15 个 TCs 位于报道的雌激素受体结合位点附近(≤10kb)。对 15 个 TCs 相关基因的敲低实验表明,RAMP3、ISOC1 和 GPRC5C 等基因可能调节 MCF-7 细胞的生长或迁移。这些结果表明,CAGE 测序将揭示乳腺癌中新型的雌激素靶基因。
