    The progesterone metabolite, 20alpha-dihydroprogesterone, is found to have anti-aromatase activity.  20alphaDHP via the enzyme 20alpha-HSO is a 4-pregnene.

  • In breast tumor tissue and tumorigenic cell lines, 5α-reductase activity and mRNA expression are significantly higher, whereas 3α- and 20α-HSO activities and mRNA expression are significantly lower than in normal breast tissue and nontumorigenic cells
  • Studies using various breast cell lines have shown that 5αP and 3αHP have opposing actions in terms of cell proliferation and adhesion; 5αP stimulates cell proliferation (through increased mitosis and decreased apoptosis) and cell detachment, whereas 3αHP suppresses cell proliferation (through decreased mitosis and increased apoptosis) and detachment
  • the paracrine/ autocrine functions of 5αP are cancer-promoting and those of 3αHP are cancer-inhibiting

    Awesome article on progesterone metabolism in breast cancer.  The author, weibe, describes 2 categories of progesterone metabolites in breast tissue: 5alpha-pregnanes and 4-pregnenes.  The author describes 3 primary enzymes that control the balance between these 2 metabolites--5alpha reductase, 3alpha-HSO, and 20alpha-HSO.  The resultant balance of 5alpha-dihydroprogesterone and 3alpha-dihydroprogesterone helps to determine the cancer potential of breast tissue.

    cell culture study finds that increased 5alpha reductase activity and resultant 5alpha-pregnanes are associated with breast cancer cell lines.  This is in contrast to the 4-pregnenes.  In fact, decreased 4-pregnenes are found in the same breast cancer cell lines; this suggests decreased 20alpha-HSO and 3alpha-HSO activity.
