Abstrakt: Estrogen receptor α (ERα)-positive breast cancer patients are typically treated with ERα inhibitors, including selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) and selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs). However, the distinct pharmacological properties of various ERα inhibitors remain incompletely understood. In this study, we employed formaldehyde cross-linking followed by ERα immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry to reveal that fulvestrant, the first FDA-approved SERD, induces the interaction between ERα and SUMO E3 ligases PIAS1 and PIAS2. Biochemical and genomic assays confirmed that fulvestrant induces SUMOylation of ERα, which inhibits ERα's binding to chromatin DNA. In addition, raloxifene (a SERM) and elacestrant (the first FDA-approved oral SERD) were identified as compounds that similarly induce ERα SUMOylation and inhibit its chromatin interaction. Our findings reveal a mechanism by which select ERα inhibitors disrupt ERα function through SUMOylation, offering insights for the development of next-generation ERα-targeted therapies.
