4-OHE2 enhances ER transcriptional activity. A Identification of gene signatures related to an early estrogen response by GSEA in CYP1B1High and CYP1B1low PRAD samples from the TCAG. B Correlation analysis of CYP1B1 and the early estrogen response gene set in normal prostate tissues and PRAD tissues from TCGA (TCGA and GTEx normal, n = 152, PRAD, n = 498). C Mean mRNA levels of ESR1, ESR2 and GPER for CYP1B1High sample versus CYP1B1Low samples in the PRAD dataset from the TCGA (t-test). D Luciferase reporter assays in LNCaP-abl and PC3 cells transfected with estrogen receptor promoter reporter (ERE-LUC) after 4-OHE2 treatment (t-test). E Representative IF staining of CYP1B1 (red) and ERα (green) in LNCaP and PC3 cells after the indicated treatments. Scale bar = 50 μm. Bic, bicalutamide. PRAD, prostate adenocarcinoma. All values represent the means ± SD from three independent experiments. *p < 0.05
