Purpose: This study investigates the role of the p160 coactivators AIB1 and SRC-1 independently, and their interactions with the estrogen receptor, in the development of resistance to endocrine treatments.Experimental Design: The expression of the p160s and the estrogen receptor, and their interactions, was analyzed by immunohistochemistry and quantitative coassociation immunofluorescent microscopy, using cell lines, primary breast tumor cell cultures, and a tissue microarray with breast cancer samples from 560 patients.Results: Coassociation of the p160s and estrogen receptor alpha was increased in the LY2 endocrine-resistant cell line following treatment with tamoxifen in comparison with endocrine sensitive MCF-7 cells. In primary cultures, there was an increase in association of the coactivators with estrogen receptor a following estrogen treatment but dissociation was evident with tamoxifen. Immunohistochemical staining of the tissue microarray revealed that SRC-1 was a strong predictor of reduced disease-free survival (DFS), both in patients receiving adjuvant tamoxifen treatment and untreated patients (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.0111, respectively). SRC-1 was assigned a hazard ratio of 2.12 using a Cox proportional hazards model. Endocrine-treated patients who coexpressed AIB1 with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 had a significantly shorter DFS compared with all other patients (P = 0.03). Quantitative coassociation analysis in the patient tissue microarray revealed significantly stronger colocalization of AIB1 and SRC-1 with estrogen receptor a in patients who have relapsed in comparison with those patients who did not recur (P = 0.026 and P = 0.00001, respectively).Conclusions: SRC-1 is a strong independent predictor of reduced DFS, whereas the interactions of the p160 proteins with estrogen receptor a can predict the response of patients to endocrine treatment.
