The efficacy of tamoxifen in breast cancer treatment only lasts a few years and the tumor eventually recurs. We performed selective subtractive hybridization to isolate mRNAs that were differentially expressed in MCF-7 derived cells, in which resistance had been induced through long-term culture in the presence of hydroxytamoxifen (OHT). Among the 15 mRNAs found to be overexpressed, we focused on Immediate early gene X-1 (IEX-1) mRNA because of the recognized contribution of its expression to apoptosis or cell cycle progression, depending on the cell type and culture conditions. We observed that IEX-1 expression was stimulated by OHT, that the degree of increase was greater in resistant cells (four-fold versus 1.5-fold) and that this OHT regulation was estrogen receptor dependent. A detailed study of the IEX-1 promoter indicated that it involved NF-kappaB. Our cells were not cross-resistant to faslodex, a pure antiestrogen, which moreover was inefficient in regulating IEX-1 expression. Altogether, our data suggest that the greater IEX-1 expression in OHT resistant cells is related to their ability to grow in the presence of OHT. Knowledge on the capacity of OHT to stimulate gene expression and its NF-kappaB dependence should contribute to a better understanding of tamoxifen pharmacology and allow new drug strategies to be designed that would delay antiestrogen resistance acquisition.
