Ivity of the CDH3 promoter was not affected by the mutation introduced at the BS3 site, and only slightly affected by the introduced mutation at the binding site 2 (BS2). These results were mostly confirmed in BT-20 cells, especially for the BS4 mutation, located at the transcription start site region of the CDH3 promoter, which also significantly induced its activity (Figure 3B). Although not significant, the reduction on CDH3 promoter activity observed with the BS1 mutant was also found in BT-20 cells, suggesting that this distal C/EBPb binding site is also important to CDH3 gene transcriptional activation. In addition, the BS2 mutant significantly reduced CDH3 promoter activity in BT-20 cells, showing that this is also a crucial site for the activation of P-cadherin transcription in this model. Finally, we could not find any AN-3199 effect of BS3 mutation in CDH3 promoter activity also in BT-20 cells, proving that this site is not relevant for its regulation. Since the distinct C/EBPb isoforms have been documented has having different functions in cancer gene activation and in a cellspecific context, we co-transfected LAP1, LAP2 and LIP Pleuromutilin biological activity together with the different mutants of CDH3 promoter in both breast cancer cell lines. The results demonstrated that distal CDH3-BS1 and BS2 are significantly important for the induced promoter activity mediated by all C/EBPb isoforms. In contrast, BS3 did not play a significant role in C/EBPb-mediated CDH3 promoter activity, since mutations in this specific region were not important to impair the activation of CDH3 gene mediated by any of the distinct isoforms. Similar results were observed concerning BS4, which did not reveal to be important for CDH3 promoter activity mediated by LAP1, LAP2 or LIP isoforms. Finally, although not significant, the same trend was observed with BT-20 cells, proving that BS1 and BS2 are most likely the binding sites where all C/ EBPb isoforms bind to induce P-cadherin transcription in breast cancer.C/EBPb physically interacts with endogenous CDH3 gene promoter in breast cancer cellsSince the three C/EBPb isoforms were able to transactivate the 1.8 Kb CDH3 promoter gene construct (Figure 1D), we decided to evaluate in detail the sequence of this putative regulatory region using distinct bioinformatic tools, which can predict for the binding of specific transcription factors. Four concordant C/ EBPb-putative binding sites were identified within the first 1400 nucleotides. Interestingly, we found that there is a high degree of conservation of these predicted C/EBPb binding sites between humans and other primates within the CDH3 promoter (Figure 2A), and the left panel of Figure 2B shows their relative localization. In fact, in order to demonstrate if there was a physical interaction between C/EBPb proteins and CDH3 promoter in these specific binding sites, ChIP has been performed in MCF-7/ AZ breast cancer cells. Indeed, The results showed that there was an enrichment (relative to input) of the CDH3 DNA-amplified fragments precipitated with the C/EBPb antibody in all binding sites (Figure 2B, right panel), demonstrating that C/EBPb transcription factors directly bind to the selected regions within the CDH3 promoter. This same experiment has been performed in BT-20 breast cancer cells, as well as in a frozen primary basal-like breast carcinoma, which was selected for being highly positive for Pcadherin and C/EBPb expression. Interestingly, we could confirmC/EBPb Targets CDH3 Gene in.Ivity of the CDH3 promoter was not affected by the mutation introduced at the BS3 site, and only slightly affected by the introduced mutation at the binding site 2 (BS2).
