Popis: | The sex steroid hormone 17β-estradiol (E2) regulates breast cancer (BC) cell proliferation and migration through the activation of a plethora of signal transduction cascades (e.g., PI3K/AKT activation) starting after E2 binding to the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα). The activity of the ubiquitin (Ub)-system modulates many physiological processes (e.g., cell proliferation and migration), and recently, a specific inhibitor (Pyr-41) of the Ub-activating enzyme (E1), which works as the activator of the Ub-based signaling, has been identified to prevent the functions of the Ub-system. Here, by using Pyr-41, we studied the involvement of the Ub-system in E2-induced signaling to proliferation and migration of BC cells. Our data indicate that E1 activity is involved in the E2:ERα signaling important for cell proliferation and migration through the modulation of the E2-evoked activation of the PI3K/AKT and the p38/MAPK pathways. These discoveries indicate a new molecular circuitry that can be further explored to define new opportunities for BC treatment. |
