Abstract

Kruppel‐like factor 5 (KLF5) is implicated in human breast cancer by frequent genomic deletion and expressional deregulation, but the molecular mechanisms by which KLF5 affects breast tumorigenesis are still unknown. This study was conducted to examine whether and how KLF5 affects the function of estrogen receptor (ER) in breast cancer cells. Using different cell lines, we found that restored expression of KLF5 inhibited estrogen‐promoted cell proliferation in ER‐positive MCF‐7 and T‐47D cell lines but had no effect on ER‐negative SK‐BR‐3 cells. Transcriptional activity of ER was also suppressed by KLF5, as detected by using estrogen‐stimulated ER responsive element‐mediated reporter assay and expression analysis of ER target genes including c‐MYC and Cathepsin D (CSTD). Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that KLF5 inhibited ERα binding to the promoter of c‐myc and CSTD. Furthermore, estrogen induced an interaction between KLF5 and ERα. These results suggest that KLF5 inhibits the function of ERα in gene regulation and cell proliferation through protein interaction that interrupts the binding of ERα to target gene promoters to prevent target gene induction.

Estrogen receptor (ER) content is the most useful parameter for predicting hormone response therapy in breast cancer. Assays available for detecting ER in breast tumor cytosol are ligand-binding assay (LBA), which detects both ER␣ and ER␤, and the enzymatic immunoassay (EIA), in which monoclonal ant

## Abstract Estrogens play a key role in the development and evolution of breast cancer tumors. Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) mediates many of the biological activities of estrogens, and its expression is associated with low invasiveness and good prognosis.

## BACKGROUND. The measurement of estrogen receptors (ER) in breast cancer specimens has traditionally been assessed with a tlextran-coated charcoal assay (DCCA). More recently the immunohistochemical staining (IHC) method has gained increasing popularity because of its ability to use fixed tissue
