The liver x receptors (LXR) alpha and beta are ligand-responsive transcription factors that link homeostatic control of lipid metabolism with cancer pathophysiology and prognosis. LXR activity is elevated in triple negative breast cancer relative to other breast cancer subtypes, driving gene signatures associated with drug resistance and metastasis. The loci encoding LXR and LXR{beta} produce multiple alternatively spliced proteins, but the true range of variants and their relevance to cancer remain poorly defined. Seven splice variants of LXR or LXR{beta} were detected. Three have not been recorded previously and five were prognostic. High expression of full length LXR was associated with shorter disease-free survival but splice variants harbouring truncations of the ligand binding domain were prognostic for improved survival. All LXR{beta} variants were associated with longer disease-free survival. Mechanistically, while full length LXR positively correlated with target gene expression in primary samples, LXR{beta} was inversely correlated. We conclude that canonical LXR function is an oncogenic driver of triple negative tumour pathophysiology that can be countered by high expression of truncated splice variants and/or full length LXR{beta}.
