Do the alterations in SATB1 and nuclear F-actin expression affect apoptotic response of the MCF-7 cells to geldanamycin? Context: The function and localization of actin in the nucleus have not yet been fully described. However, actin seems to be a key protein in nuclear processes interacting with chromatin and matrix proteins. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of controlled expression of nuclear pool of F-actin and special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 1 (SATB1) on the in vitro induction of active cell death by geldanamycin (GA). The expression of SATB1 was regulated by the transfection of non-aggressive breast cancer MCF-7 cells with siRNA against SATB1 or expression plasmid with cloned cDNA of SATB1. The altered expression of cofilin-1 in these cells was used to regulate the nuclear expression and localization of F-actin. The effect of GA was analyzed in the context of cell death induction and cell cycle alterations. Our studies revealed that the targeted regulation of SATB1 and cofilin-1 expression changed the apoptotic response of the MCF-7 cells to GA. The overexpression of these proteins potentiated GA-induced arrest of the cells in the G1 phase of cell cycle and increased the population of the hypodiploid cells.

The alterations in the nuclear expression of SATB1 and F-actin in MCF-7 cells may affect their active cell death in response to GA. Final Decision: yes
