Activated c-Jun bound to the TRE motif in the CPT1A promoter to drive CPT1A transcription and recruited CBP/P300 to chromatin, catalysing histone H3K27 acetylation to increase chromatin accessibility, which ensured more effective transcription of CPT1A and an increase in the FAO rate, eliminating the cytotoxic effects of tamoxifen in ER-positive BC cells. Here, CPT1A is linked to breast cancer.
