Circulating 2-hydroxy and 16-α hydroxy estrone levels and risk of breast canc... - 1 views

  • 2-OH estrogens bind to the estrogen receptor (ER) with affinity equivalent to or greater than estradiol
  • previous prospective studies have not observed any significant associations with either 2-OH or 16α-OH estrone or the ratio of the two metabolites and breast cancer risk overall.

      whether that risk is increased or decreased
  • it has been hypothesized that metabolism favoring the 2-OH over the 16α-OH pathway may be inversely associated with breast cancer risk (28).

  • they may act as only weak mitogens (14, 15), or as inhibitors of proliferation
  • No significant associations have been observed between 2-OH estrone and breast cancer risk
  • While 16α-OH estrone binds to the ER with lower affinity than estradiol, it binds covalently (18-20) and once bound, fails to down-regulate the receptor (21). Thus, 16α-OH estrone stimulates cell proliferation in a manner comparable to estradiol in ER+ breast cancer cell lines
  • In this large prospective study of 2-OH and 16α-OH estrone metabolites and breast cancer risk, we did not observe any significant associations overall with either individual metabolite or with the ratio of the two metabolites
  • we observed positive associations with 2-OH estrone and the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio among women with lower BMI and women with ER-/PR-tumors,
  • To date, several epidemiologic studies have examined the association between the 2-OH and 16α-OH estrogen metabolites and breast cancer risk with inconclusive results.
  • circulating estrogen levels have been associated more strongly with ER+/PR+ tumors than with ER-/PR- tumors
  • our results do not support the hypothesis that metabolism favoring the 2-OH estrone pathway is more beneficial to breast cancer risk than that favoring the 16α-OH estrone pathway
  • we observed significant positive associations of both 2-OH estrone and the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio with ER-/PR-tumors
  • Three (30, 32, 33) of four (30-33) studies observed RRs above 1 for the association between 16α-OH estrone and breast cancer risk (range of RRs=1.23-2.47); none of the point estimates was statistically significant though one trend was suggestive
  • based on animal studies, 2-OH estrone and the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio have been hypothesized to be inversely associated with breast cancer risk
  • No significant associations have been observed between 2-OH estrone, 16α-OH estrone, or the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio and breast cancer risk and the direction of the estimates is not consistent across studies.

      better worded is no consistent, significant associations.   There are some studies that point to the 16 catecholestrogen and increased cancer risk; limited studies show negative effects of 2 catecholestrogens on cancer risk and prospective studies available pretty much dispel the idea that the 2:16 ratio has an risk predictability.
  • we observed a suggestive inverse association with 16α-OH estrone and a significant positive association with the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio among lean women, suggesting possible associations in a low estrogen environment.
  • 16α-OH estrone increases unscheduled DNA synthesis in mouse mammary cells (27) and hence also may be genotoxic
  • Although 2-OH estrogens are capable of redox cycling, the semiquinones and quinones (i.e., the oxidized forms) form stable DNA adducts that are reversible without DNA destruction
  • In our population of PMH nonusers, we observed no associations with ER+/PR+ tumors, but significant positive associations with 2-OH estrone and the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio among women with ER-/PR- tumors
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      one of the few studies to find this association between 2 catecholestrogens and the 2:16 ratio and ER-/PR-tumors
  • Animal and in vitro studies have shown that hydroxy estrogens can induce DNA damage either directly, through the formation of quinones and DNA adducts, or indirectly, through redox cycling and the generation of reactive oxygen species
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      genotoxic via directe DNA adducts and indirectly via ROS; this is in addition to the proliferative effect
  • we observed a significant positive association between the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio and breast cancer risk among lean women
  • No significant associations have been observed with the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio
  • In the Danish study, no associations were observed with either ER+ or ER- tumors among PMH nonusers
  • significant positive associations with 2-OH estrone and the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio were observed among PMH users with ER+, but not ER-, tumors
  • it is possible that the genotoxicity of 2-OH estrone plays a role in hormone receptor negative tumors
  • 4-OH estrogens have a greater estrogenic potential than 2-OH estrogens, given the lower dissociation rate from estrogen receptors compared with estradiol (61), and are potentially more genotoxic since the quinones form unstable adducts, leading to depurination and mutation in vitro and in vivo
  • the balance between the catechol (i.e., 2-OH and 4-OH) and methoxy (i.e., 2-Me and 4-Me) estrogens may impact risk
  •  
    The risks of estrogen metabolism are not clear cut.  Likely never will be due to the complexity of individual metabolism.  This study found no correlation between 2OH-Estrone and 2OH:16alpha-Estrone and breast cancer risk in ER+/PR+ breast cancer.  Translated: no benefit in breast cancer risk in 2OH-Estrone metabolism or increased 2OH:16alpha estrone metabolism.  There was a positive association between 2OH-Estrone and 2:16alpha-Estrone in women with ER-/PR- tumors and low BMI.

  • These results demonstrate that although 16α-OHE1 was increased more by E+P than by E-alone, the increase in the 2:16 ratio was similar for both HT regimens, due to ~4-fold greater increase in 2OHE-1 than 16α-OHE1 for both HT regimens
  • baseline and 1 year change in 16α-OHE1 showed little relationship to incident breast cancer
  • higher baseline 2-OHE1 and the 2:16 ratio were modestly associated with higher odds of incident breast cancer, but larger 1 year increase in 2-OHE-1 and the 2:16 ratio were also weakly associated with lower odds of breast cancer
  •  
    Good review of the data from the WHI-HT on estrogen metabolites and breast cancer risk.  Increased 2-OHestrone and 2:16 ratio without statistical significance reached.

  • our results do not support the hypothesis that greater metabolism of oestrogen via the 2-OH pathway, relative to the 16α-OH pathway, protects against endometrial cancer. Indeed our results are more suggestive of an increase in risk, rather than a decrease, with higher levels of 2-OHE1
  • women with a higher 2-OHE1 : 16α-OHE1 ratio did not have a decreased risk of endometrial cancer as compared with women with a lower ratio
  • The findings from this first prospective epidemiological study of oestrogen metabolites and endometrial cancer are in line with results from prospective studies on breast cancer, another oestrogen-related cancer. None of the seven studies on breast cancer reported significant associations overall
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • On the whole, prospective epidemiological data do not support the hypothesis that the 2-hydroxyestrogen pathway is protective, and the 16α-hydroxyestrogen pathway harmful, in hormone-dependent cancers
  • Both 2- and 4-hydroxyestrogens are catecholestrogens, and it has been suggested that catecholestrogens increase risk of oestrogen-mediated cancers through direct genotoxic effects, rather than through stimulation of cell proliferation via binding to oestrogen receptors
  • the evidence is stronger for 4-hydroxyestrogens than for 2-hydroxyestrogens
  • a significant increase in risk of breast cancer with levels of 2-OHE1 has also been reported previously, although it was limited to hormone receptor-negative tumours

  •  
    Maybe the risks of estrogen metabolism is age dependent?  This Long Island Breast Cancer Study Project found that an increased 2:16alphOH-estrone ratio was associated with a reduced premenopausal, invasive breast cancer risk.  This association declined when looked at in postmenopausal women.

  • post-menopausal (but not premenopausal) women at baseline who went on to develop breast cancer showed about a 15% lower 2:16alpha-OHE1 ratio than matched control subjects
  •  
    can the pathway of estrogen metabolism help to predict postmenopausal breast cancer?  according to this study, yes.

  • A recent study of nine patients concluded that the urinary EMR is a good approximation for breast tissue EMR
  • A single study in young women not using oral contraceptives found fair correlation coefficients between urinary and plasma EMR
  • All of nine properly designed epidemiological studies (six prospective case-control studies and three retrospective studies) failed to show a significant relationship between urinary or circulating EMR (2OHE1/16αOHE1) and breast cancer risk
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • premenopausal studies on urinary EMR have suggested a potentially weak inverse relationship, associations were not significantly different compared with postmenopausal or overall combined studies
  • at present, there is no evidence that the EMR can predict breast cancer risk
