A Role for Id-1 in the Aggressive Phenotype and Steroid Hormone Response of Human Breast Cancer Cells¹

Geraldine Brush Cancer Research Institute, California Pacific Medical Center, San Francisco, California 94115 [C. Q. L., J. S., K. M., Y. I., S. P., S. H. L., P-Y. D.]; ICRF Breast Pathology Laboratory, Guy’s Hospital, London, United Kingdom [C. E. G.]; and Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California 94720 [C. Q. L., J. C.]

The helix-loop-helix protein Id-1 inhibits the activity of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, and is an important regulator of cell growth and tissue-specific differentiation. We have shown (P. Y. Desprez et al., Mol. Cell. Biol., 18: 4577–4588, 1998) that ectopic expression of Id-1 inhibits differentiation and stimulates the proliferation and invasiveness of mouse mammary epithelial cells, and that there is a correlation between the levels of Id-1 protein and the aggressiveness of several human breast cancer cell lines. Here, we show that aggressive and metastatic breast cancer cells express high levels of Id-1 mRNA because of a loss of serum-dependent regulation that is mediated by a 2.2-kb region of the human Id-1 promoter. Three lines of evidence suggest that unregulated Id-1 expression may be an important regulator of the aggressive phenotype of a subset of human breast cancer cells: (a) a constitutively expressed Id-1 cDNA, when introduced into a nonaggressive breast cancer cell line (T47D), conferred a more aggressive phenotype, as measured by growth and invasiveness; (b) Id-1 was an important mediator of the effects of sex steroid hormones on T47D cell proliferation. Estrogen stimulated proliferation and induced Id-1 expression, whereas progesterone inhibited proliferation and repressed Id-1 expression. Progesterone repressed Id-1 expression, at least in part by repressing transcription. Most importantly, an antisense oligonucleotide that reduced Id-1 protein levels reduced the ability of estrogen to stimulate cell proliferation, whereas constitutive Id-1 expression rendered cells refractory to growth inhibition by progesterone; and (c) using a limited number of breast cancer biopsies, we showed that Id-1 was more frequently expressed in infiltrating carcinomas compared with ductal carcinomas in situ. Our results suggest that Id-1 can control the malignant progression of breast cancer cells, particularly that mediated by sex steroid hormones. Moreover, Id-1 has the potential to serve as a marker for aggressive breast tumors.
