From the The majority of breast carcinomas show reduced or
no expression of the transcription factor, HOXA5. Recently, we have
shown that HOXA5 is a potent transactivator of p53 in breast cells and thus may affect the response of breast cancer cells to DNA damage. To
determine whether HOXA5 played a role in growth and homeostasis in
breast cells, we studied its interaction with the progesterone receptor. The progesterone receptor (PR) belongs to the superfamily of
nuclear receptors whose members co-ordinate morphogenesis of the
mammary gland in response to binding to their cognate ligands. An
increased expression of the endogenous PR gene was seen in MCF-7 cells following induced expression of an exogenously transfected HOXA5 gene. HOXA5, but not HOXB4, -B5, or -B7 activated the
PR promoter in two breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7
and Hs578T. Deletion and mutation analysis of the promoter identified a
single HOXA5-binding site required for transactivation of the
PR gene by HOXA5. HOXA5 binds directly to this site in the
PR promoter. Thus, HOXA5 may behave as a
transcriptional regulator of multiple target genes, two among which are
p53 and the progesterone receptor.
