ABSTRACT
The mRNA levels of LIV-1 and pS2, two estrogen-responsive genes, are increased by the agents, cholera toxin (CT) plus 3-isobutyl-l-methylxanthine (IBMX), which cause an increase in cAMP in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. The simultaneous addition of estradiol and CT/IBMX results in a synergistic induction of the two mRNAs. The changes in mRNA reflect changes in transcription of the two genes. Interestingly, the addition of CT/IBMX to estradiol not only causes a greater increase in transcription rate but the increase is longer-lasting that seen with the hormone alone. Stimulation of mRNA levels by CT/IBMX, but not by estradiol, was prevented by cycloheximide. Stimulation by both estradiol and by CT/IBMX was prevented by the antiestrogen, ICI 164387. Transcription of LIV-1 and pS2 genes is by both estradiol and cAMP, via separate mechanisms both requiring the estrogen receptor.
