BACKGROUND/AIM: Estrogen is reported to promote the occurrence and development of
several human cancers. Increasing evidence shows that most human lung tumors
exert estrogen receptor expression. In the present study, we investigated the
underlying mechanism of estrogen effect in lung cancer through estrogen
receptor-epithelial-mesechymal-transition signaling pathways for the first time.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 36 inbred C57BL/6 mice (18 male and 18 female)
were injected subcutaneously with human lung adenocarcinoma cell line, Lewis.
After the lung tumor model was established, mice with lung adenocarcinoma were
randomly divided into three groups for each sex (n=6), such as vehicle group,
estrogen group, and estrogen plus tamoxifen group. The six groups of mice were
sacrificed after 21 days of drug treatment. Tumor tissue was stripped and
weighed, and tumor inhibition rate was calculated based on average tumor weight.
Protein and messenger RNA (mRNA) expressions of estrogen receptor ? (ER?),
estrogen receptor ? (ER?), phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K), AKT,
E-cadherin, and vimentin were detected in both tumor tissue and lung tissue by
using immunohistochemistry and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain
reaction. RESULTS: 1) For male mice: in the estrogen group, estrogen treatment
significantly increased ER? protein and mRNA expressions in tumor tissue and
protein expression of PI3K, AKT, and vimentin in both tumor tissue and lung
tissue compared with the vehicle-treated group. Besides, mRNA expression of
E-cadherin was significantly reduced in estrogen-treated tumor tissues than that
in vehicle-treated tissues. In the estrogen plus tamoxifen group, protein and
mRNA expressions of ER? and AKT were dramatically reduced by tamoxifen treatment
in tumor tissue compared with the estrogen group; mRNA expression of E-cadherin
was increased in tumor tissue; protein expression of vimentin and PI3K were
downregulated in tumor tissue; protein expression of E-cadherin increased in lung
tissue; protein expression of ER? and PI3K were downregulated in lung tissue
compared with the estrogen group. 2) For female mice: in the estrogen group,
estrogen treatment significantly increased mRNA expression of ER? and PI3K, and
protein expression of ER?, PI3K, AKT, and vimentin in both tumor tissue and lung
tissue compared with the vehicle-treated group. mRNA expression of E-cadherin was
downregulated in tumor tissue, and mRNA expression of AKT was increased in lung
tissues compared with the vehicle-treated group. In the estrogen plus tamoxifen
group, tamoxifen treatment dramatically reduced protein expression of ER?, ER?,
AKT, and vimentin but significantly increased protein expression of E-cadherin in
tumor tissues and lung tissue compared with the estrogen group. mRNA expression
of ER?, PI3K, and AKT was dramatically reduced by tamoxifen treatment in lung
tissues compared with the estrogen group. CONCLUSION: Estrogen promoted lung
adenocarcinoma cell metastasis by inducing lung epithelial mesenchymal cells and
reducing intercellular adhesion force through PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
