Schematic representation of different estrogen receptor (ER) binding events involving FOXA1 facilitating the transcription of different genes. The different ER binding events at distinct cis-regulatory elements ocurr with FOXA1 in different situations. For example, situations 1 (a) and 2 (b). The different ER binding at distinct cis-regulatory elements is functionally and biologically relevant, resulting in altered gene expression profiles that contribute to differences in the endocrine response and outcome. (a) Situation 1. Endocrine-responsive breast cancer with a good outcome, for example, ER positive/progesterone receptor (PR) positive/HER2 negative tumors. (b) Situation 2. Endocrine-resistant breast tumor with a poor prognosis, for example, ER positive/PR positive/HER2 positive or ER positive/PR negative/HER2 negative, or with active growth factor receptor (GFR) signaling.
