We have previously shown that theE2F3oncogene is up‐regulated as part of a “preneoplastic expression profile” in fallopian tube epithelium (FTE) of women withBRCA1mutations. We studiedE2F3expression in FTE and carcinomas of women withBRCA1orBRCA2mutations or wildtype for both genes. Significantly more foci of TP53 positive cells in histologically normal FTE from women withBRCA1mutations but not in wildtype orBRCA2mutated individuals had E2F3 protein overexpression relative to adjacent normal FTE, which occurred in the context of focally increased proliferation, potentially explaining the increased neoplastic potential of tubal TP53 foci in women withBRCA1mutations. To assess mechanisms ofE2F3deregulation in ovarian or tubal carcinogenesis, we studiedE2F3and its two isoforms E2F3a and E2F3b in wild‐type ovarian carcinomas and ovarian carcinomas associated with germlineBRCA1andBRCA2mutations. The expression ofE2F3b, but notE2F3a, was correlated with the expression ofBRCA1in all three genetic groups. In primary cultures of FTE from women withBRCA1mutation or wildtype forBRCA1andBRCA2, siRNA‐inducedBRCA1deficiency led to increasedE2F3bbut notE2F3aexpression. Our results suggest thatE2F3bandBRCA1are functionally connected, andBRCA1haploinsufficiency in normal FTE may lead to up‐regulation ofE2F3band increased proliferation before the development of intraepithelial neoplasia. These data support thatE2F3bup‐regulation is an important preneoplastic event in FTE fromBRCA1mutation carriers. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
