PG - 2781-2791 LID - 10.1111/cas.13715 [doi] AB - Recent studies have indicated that the intracellular concentration of chloride ions (Cl(-) ) regulates gene expression in several types of cells and that Cl(-) modulators positively or negatively regulate the PI3K/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3 signaling pathways. We previously reported that the Ca(2+) -activated Cl(-) channel anoctamine (ANO)1 regulated human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) transcription in breast cancer YMB-1 cells. However, the mechanisms underlying ANO1-regulated HER2 gene expression have not yet been elucidated. In the present study, we showed the involvement of intracellular organelle ClC-3 Cl(-) /H(+) transporter in HER2 transcription in breast cancer MDA-MB-453 cells. The siRNA-mediated inhibition of ClC-3, but not ANO1, markedly repressed HER2 transcription in MDA-MB-453 cells. Subsequently, treatments with the AKT inhibitor AZD 5363 and mTOR inhibitor everolimus significantly enhanced HER2 transcription in MDA-MB-453 cells, whereas that with the STAT3 inhibitor 5,15-diphenylporphyrin (5,15-DPP) inhibited it. AKT and mTOR inhibitors also significantly enhanced HER2 transcription in YMB-1 cells. The siRNA-mediated inhibition of ClC-3 and ANO1 resulted in increased AKT phosphorylation and decreased STAT3 phosphorylation in MDA-MB-453 and YMB-1 cells, respectively. The intracellular Cl(-) channel protein CLIC1 was expressed in both cells; however, its siRNA-mediated inhibition did not elicit the transcriptional repression of HER2. Collectively, our results demonstrate that intracellular Cl(-) regulation by ANO1/ClC-3 participates in HER2 transcription, mediating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and/or STAT3 signaling pathway(s) in HER2-positive breast cancer cells, and support the potential of ANO1/ClC-3 blockers as therapeutic options for patients with resistance to anti-HER2 therapies.
