-catenin/TCF pathways and
also stabilize components of the adherens junction, a tumor suppressor
complex. When treated with retinoic acid (RA), the breast cancer cell
line, SKBR3, undergoes differentiation and reduction in cell
proliferation. The present work demonstrates that in SKBR3 cells, which
exhibit high AP-1 activity, RA-regulation of cadherin expression and
function, but not changes in AP-1 (or
-catenin/TCF) signaling, is
responsible for the epithelial differentiation. However, cadherin
function and recruitment of
-catenin to the membrane is not required
for RA to regulate DNA synthesis in these cells. RA also reduces the activity of an AP-1 and TCF-sensitive cyclin D1 reporter in SKBR3 cells
in a manner that is independent of the TCF site. In contrast, in SW480
cells, which have high levels of
-catenin/TCF signaling, the
activity and retinoid responsiveness of the cyclin D1 promoter was
markedly inhibited by mutation of the TCF site. These data indicate
that the remarkably broad effects of RA on the growth and
differentiation of many different epithelial cancers may well be
explained by the ability of RA to differentially regulate the activity
of RAR/RXR, AP-1, and
-catenin/TCF pathways.
