Function
Chromatin reader that recognizes and binds hyperacetylated chromatin and plays a role in the regulation of transcription, probably by chromatin remodeling and interaction with transcription factors. Regulates transcription by promoting the binding of the transcription factor GATA1 to its targets.

In Vivo Model
Athymic nu/nu mice (5 to 6-week-old female) were acquired from the Silaike Experimental Animal Co. Ltd (Shanghai, China). All mice were randomly allocated to different groups, 1 x 106 MDA-MB-231 cells were subcutaneously inoculated into the right flanks. Ten days later, mice were intraperitoneally injected with PBS including DMSO, JQ1 (50 mg/kg), Bufalin (1 mg/kg) and SR1848 (50 mg/kg), every 2-4 days for 8 times, and the tumor volumes and mice weigh were monitored and recorded every 2-3 days.

Response regulation BET (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, BRDT) inhibitors (BETi) exert an excellent anti-cancer activity in breast cancer. BETi JQ1 and I-BET151 exhibited anti-cancer effects in breast cancer by inducing ferroptosis. NCOA3 as a coactivator synergized with NR5A2 to prevent BETi-induced ferroptosis. Mechanistically, NR5A2 synergized with NCOA3 to increase expression of NRF2, a transcription factor that controls the expression of many antioxidant genes.

In Vivo Model
For mouse xenograft models, MDA-MB-231 cells (2 x 106 per mouse) expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) luciferase were implanted bilaterally into the fat pads of the fourth inguinal mammary gland of 6-week-old female athymic nude-Foxn1nu mice. Twenty-three days later, mice were randomized into four groups (n = 10 mice per group) and treated with the following: (i) vehicle; (ii) OTX015, daily through oral gavage (25 mg/kg); OTX015 (100 mg/ml stock in DMSO) was diluted in vehicle solution containing 2% DMSO, 30% polyethylene glycol (PEG)300, and 5% Tween 80; (iii) SB225022, which was intraperitoneally administered 5 days a week, at 5 mg/kg prepared in PBS; or (iv) OTX015 + SB225022 combination.

Response regulation BRD4 transcript and protein levels are highly enriched in triple-negative breast cancer tumors and cell lines. Cotargeting of BET (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, BRDT) and the proteasome applied at low doses could be a promising therapeutic approach for TNBC.
