Estrogen receptor variant ERα46 and insulin receptor drive in primary breast cancer cells growth effects and interleukin 11 induction prompting the motility of cancer‐associated fibroblasts

Abstract Among the prognostic and predictive biomarkers of breast cancer (BC), the role of estrogen receptor (ER)α wild‐type has been acknowledged, although the action of certain ERα splice variants has not been elucidated. Insulin/insulin receptor (IR) axis has also been involved in the progression...

In the present study, we have shown that a novel naturally immortalized BC cell line (named BCAHC‐1) is characterized by a unique expression of 46 kDa ERα splice variant (ERα46) along with IR. Moreover, we have shown that a multifaceted crosstalk between ERα46 and IR occurs in BCAHC‐1 cells upon estrogen and insulin exposure for growth and pulmonary metastasis.

In particular, we have found that IL11 induced by estrogens and insulin in BCAHC‐1 cells regulates pro‐tumorigenic genes of the “extracellular matrix organization” signaling pathway, such as ICAM‐1 and ITGA5, and promotes both migratory and invasive features in breast CAFs.
