RESUMO

Increased expression of Yes-associated protein-1 (YAP1) was shown to correlate with reduced survival in breast cancer (BC) patients. However, the exact mechanism of YAP1 regulation in BC cells remains ambiguous. Genomic sequence search showed that the promoter region of the YAP1 gene contains CpG Islands, hence the likelihood of epigenetic regulation by DNA methylation. To address this possibility, the effect of estrogen (17ß estradiol; E2) on YAP1 gene expression and YAP1 promoter methylation status was evaluated in BC cells. The functional consequences of E2 treatment in control and YAP1-silenced BC cells were also investigated. Our data showed that E2 modulates YAP1 expression by hypomethylation of its promoter region via downregulation of DNA methyltransferase 3B (DNMT3B); an effect that seems to facilitate tumor progression in BC cells. Although the effect of E2 on YAP1 expression was estrogen receptor (ER) dependent, E2 treatment also upregulated YAP1 expression in MDA-MB231 and SKBR3 cells, which are known ER-negative BC cell lines but expresses ERα. Functionally, E2 treatment resulted in increased cell proliferation, decreased apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and autophagic flux in MCF7 cells. The knockdown of the YAP1 gene reversed these carcinogenic effects of E2 and inhibited E2-induced autophagy. Lastly, we showed that YAP1 is highly expressed and hypomethylated in human BC tissues and that increased YAP1 expression correlates negatively with DNMT3B expression but strongly associated with ER expression. Our data provide the basis for considering screening of YAP1 expression and its promoter methylation status in the diagnosis and prognosis of BC.
