Women are at higher risk for the development of lung adenocarcinoma than men; however, the mechanisms responsible for this are poorly understood. In lung adenocarcinoma cells, the estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta) is the predominating form. We found that 17beta-estradiol enhanced proliferation of the putative cells of origin of lung adenocarcinoma, small airway epithelial cells (HPLD1), in response to the nicotine-derived nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK). Reverse-phase protein microarrays combined with Western blotting revealed that NNK induced phosphorylation of ERbeta, an effect that involved stimulation of the adrenergic receptors beta1 (beta1AR). In transiently transfected cells, beta1AR coprecipitated with ERbeta, which increased with NNK treatment. ERbeta enhanced NNK-induced cyclic AMP accumulation as well as Galphai-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 activation. Coexpression of beta1AR and ERbeta activated NNK-mediated ERK1/2 cooperatively. ERbeta gene knockdown, as well as coexpression of the dominant negative Ras and Raf, reduced stimulation of ERK1/2 by NNK. Whereas NNK phosphorylated Akt at Thr(308) and Ser(473), ERbeta had no effect on this activity. Luciferase reporter assays showed that, in response to NNK, ERbeta stimulated transcription of serum responsive element (SRE) but had a very small effect on the activity of estrogen responsive element (ERE). Together, the phosphorylation of ERbeta, the dependence on Galphai proteins, the activation of ERK1/2, and the preferential targeting of SRE over the classic ERE pathway support a role for nongenomic ERbeta in the development of smoking-associated lung cancer. This novel cooperation between beta1AR and ERbeta signaling may contribute to the prominence of lung adenocarcinoma in women.
