High FOXA1 levels induce ER transcriptional reprogramming, a pro-metastatic secretome, and metastasis in endocrine-resistant breast cancer

Summary: Aberrant activation of the forkhead protein FOXA1 is observed in advanced hormone-related cancers. However, the key mediators of high FOXA1 signaling remain elusive. We demonstrate that ectopic high FOXA1 (H-FOXA1) expression promotes estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer (BC) meta...

description Summary: Aberrant activation of the forkhead protein FOXA1 is observed in advanced hormone-related cancers. However, the key mediators of high FOXA1 signaling remain elusive. We demonstrate that ectopic high FOXA1 (H-FOXA1) expression promotes estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer (BC) metastasis in a xenograft mouse model. Mechanistically, H-FOXA1 reprograms ER-chromatin binding to elicit a core gene signature (CGS) enriched in ER+ endocrine-resistant (EndoR) cells. We identify Secretome14, a CGS subset encoding ER-dependent cancer secretory proteins, as a strong predictor for poor outcomes of ER+ BC. It is elevated in ER+ metastases vs. primary tumors, irrespective of ESR1 mutations. Genomic ER binding near Secretome14 genes is also increased in mutant ER-expressing or mitogen-treated ER+ BC cells and in ER+ metastatic vs. primary tumors, suggesting a convergent pathway including high growth factor receptor signaling in activating pro-metastatic secretome genes. Our findings uncover H-FOXA1-induced ER reprogramming that drives EndoR and metastasis partly via an H-FOXA1/ER-dependent secretome.
