Estrogen and insulin/insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are major mitogens for breast epithelial cells and when co-administered, synergistically induce G(1)-S phase cell cycle progression. We investigated this cooperativity by evaluating if the key cell cycle regulators. c-Myc and cyclin D1, represent points of convergence in the action of these mitogens in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. These studies demonstrated that estrogen significantly increased both c-Myc and cyclin D1 protein, while insulin predominantly increased cyclin D1 levels. This cumulative increase in c-Myc and cyclin D1 contributes to the cooperativity of these mitogens, since ectopic expression of c-Myc or cyclin D1 cooperates with either the estrogen Or insulin signaling pathways to increase cell cycle progression. Inhibition of the MAPK or PI3-kinase pathway significantly reduced c-Myc and cyclin D1 protein levels and cell cycle progression. Ectopic expression of cyclin D1 partially overcame this inhibition, while ectopic expression of c-Myc partially overcame MAPK but not PI3-kinase inhibition. Therefore, estrogen and insulin/IGF-1 differentially regulate c-Myc and cyclin D1 to cooperatively stimulate breast cancer cell proliferation. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
