When aberrant, factors critical for organ morphogenesis are also commonly involved in disease progression. FOXA1 (forkhead box A1), also known as HNF3α (hepatocyte nuclear factor 3α), is required for postnatal survival due to its essential role in controlling pancreatic and renal function. In addition to regulating a variety of tissues during embryogenesis and early life, rescue experiments have revealed a specific role for FOXA1 in the postnatal development of the mammary gland and prostate. Activity of the nuclear hormone receptors ERα (oestrogen receptor α) and AR (androgen receptor) is also required for proper development of the mammary gland and prostate respectively. FOXA1 modulates ER and AR function in breast and prostate cancer cells, supporting the postulate that FOXA1 is involved in ER and AR signalling under normal conditions, and that some carcinogenic processes in these tissues stem from hormonally regulated developmental pathways gone awry. In addition to broadly reviewing the function of FOXA1 in various aspects of development and cancer, this review focuses on the interplay of FOXA1/ER and FOXA1/AR, in normal and cancerous mammary and prostate epithelial cells. Given the hormone dependency of both breast and prostate cancer, a thorough understanding of FOXA1's role in both cancer types is critical for battling hormone receptor-positive disease and acquired anti-hormone resistance. 相似文献

In this article we show that 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)) stimulates the activity of the class IA phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase PI3Kalpha and its downstream target Akt in HL60, U937 and THP-1 myeloid leukaemic cell lines. Furthermore, we show that the classical nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR(nuc)) is involved in this activation of the PI3K/Akt signalling in these cell lines. We have previously shown that the activity of steroid sulphatase is stimulated in HL60, U937 and THP-1 myeloid leukaemic cell lines by 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) (Hughes et al., [2001] Biochem J 355:361-371; Hughes et al., [2005] J Cell Biochem 94:1175-1189; Hughes and Brown [2006] J Cell Biochem 98:590-617). In this article we show that the 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)-stimulated increase in signalling via the PI3K/Akt pathway plays a role in the increase in steroid sulphatase activity in the HL60 U937 and THP-1 cell lines. We used a variety of pharmacological and biochemical approaches to show that activation of PI3Kalpha mediates the 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)-stimulated increase in steroid sulphatase activity in myeloid leukaemic cells. We also show that the PI3K/Akt dependent activation of NF-kappaB plays a role in the 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)-stimulated increase in steroid sulphatase activity in myeloid leukaemic cells. 相似文献
