Bleb formation is induced by alkaline but not acidic pH in estrogen receptor silenced breast cancer cells

Abstract: Abstract.De novo and acquired resistance to endocrinebased therapies in breast cancer occurs in parallel with epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is associated with enhanced proliferative and metastatic potential, and poor clinical outcome. We have established several endocrine insensitive breast cancer lines by shRNA-induced depletion of estrogen receptor (ER) by transfection of MCF7 cells. All of these exhibit EMT. We have previously reported that brief exposure of specifically ER -breast cance… Show more

“…Blebs have been observed in numerous cell types including fibroblasts [ 6 ], endothelial and mesenchymal cells [ 4 ], cancer cells [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ], immune cells [ 12 , 13 , 14 ], germ cells [ 15 , 16 , 17 ], ameba [ 18 ], parasites [ 19 ] and bacteria [ 20 , 21 , 22 ]. It was originally assumed that blebbing was related solely to pathological conditions in response to nonspecific cellular insults such as lipid peroxidation [ 23 ], anoxia [ 24 ] and energy depletion [ 24 , 25 , 26 ], with motility/invasion [ 11 , 27 ] and multidrug resistance in tumor cells [ 28 ], or as a prerequisite for necrosis. However, it is now considered to be an important physiological process which occurs during cell blastulation in Fundulus deep cells [ 29 ], cytokinesis, cell spreading, virus infection, protective mechanisms against injury (either physical or chemical stress) [ 30 , 31 , 32 ] and as a hallmark of the execution stage of apoptosis [ 33 ].…”

“…After 2 hours, cells were either washed thoroughly to remove inhibitors and cultured overnight (upper photos) or left in culture in the presence of the inhibitors (lower photos). Images show a strong disruption of Factin in cells treated with latrunculin A, and bright actin aggregates distributed irregularly within the cells with cytochalasin D, as reported (Khajah et al, 2015;Rubtsova et al, 1998). B.…”
