Differential Effects of Dehydroepiandrosterone and Testosterone in Prostate and Colon C... - 0 views

  • Several studies indicate that DHEA may enhance cancer-promoting activities in several prostate cancer cell lines acting as agonist or antagonist for the intracellular AR
  • the estrogenic metabolites of DHEA, 5a-androstane-3b, 17b-diol (3b-Adiol) and E2 bind to estrogen receptors but not to AR
  • no specific receptor has been identified for DHEA
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • Different members of neurotrophins are expressed during cancer progression, suggesting their involvement in cell proliferation, anoikis protection, and malignancy
  • Regulation of the apoptotic machinery in prostate and colon cancer cells by testosterone occurs rapidly and is initiated at the plasma membrane level through specific membrane-binding sites not involving the classical cytoplasmic AR
  • testosterone exerts potent regulatory effects on prostate and colon cancer cell apoptosis
  • Testosterone increased cell death in a dose-dependent manner
  • testosterone antagonizes the prosurvival effects of DHEA in neuronal cells, blocking its binding to NGF receptors
  • treatment of cells with DHEA exerted a strong antiapoptotic effect,
  • Androgens hold a central role in prostate and colon cancer biology
  • elevated levels of DHEA or its sulfate ester DHEA-sulfate in young adults are associated to low incidence of androgen-dependent tumors
  • DHEA may play a protective role in young prostate
  • The decline of DHEA with aging may contribute to prostate cancer progression associated with advanced age
  • DHEA is an effective antiapoptotic factor, reversing the serum deprivation-induced apoptosis in prostate cancer cells (DU145 and LNCaP cell lines) as well as in colon cancer cells
  • NGF appears to exert similar antiapoptotic actions in both prostate and color cancer cells
  • exposure of prostate DU145 and colon Caco2 cancer cells to testosterone totally blocked the protective effects of both DHEA and NGF. These findings suggest that testosterone acts as an antagonist of DHEA and NGF
  • These findings support the hypothesis that testosterone may inhibit cancer cell growth by antagonizing the proliferative, antiapoptotic effects of endogenous factors, such as DHEA or NGF, in the case of prostate and colon cancer cells
  • intratumor hormonal microenvironment may play a critical role in tumor progression.
  • The paracrine interactions of androgens with locally produced NGF may define tumor cell fate

    Full article of previously posted abstract.  Cancers are unique.  Not all cancers are alike.  Whether they are tissue specific or not, cancers are unique.  This article describes the uniqueness of DHEA and Testosterone cancer, with particular attention to colon.

  • no significant adverse or negative side effects of DHEA were reported in clinical studies of men and women.
  •  
    review of the clinical studies of DHEA and DHEA-S find no negative side-effects: only positive effects.  Overdosage of DHEA, which is common in women, obviously can result in side effects, though.

  •  
    DHEA declines with age.  DHEA therapy, 50 mg daily, was found to reduce TNF-alpha and IL-6.  DHEA also lowered triglycerides.

  •  
    DHEA-S shown to increase genetic expression of adiponectin in human adipose tissue.  This has enormous implications on the link between DHEA and insulin resistance induce obesity. This is a peripheral tissue problem, not a central problem.

The Benefits and Harms of Systemic Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in Postmenopausal Wome... - 0 views

  •  
    Review of the data points to poor quality of evidence dealing with DHEA in post-menopausal women with normal adrenal function.  Yet if DHEA is low, which is >95% produced by adrenals in women, then how can the adrenal function be "normal".   The meta-analysis found no improvement in libido and/or sexual function, and no improvement in lipids, glucose, weight... was noted.  Essentially not positive or negative effects were noted.  Abstract only available here, so dosage is a question.

The adipose tissue metabolism: role of testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone. - PubMe... - 0 views

  • T inhibits lipid uptake and lipoprotein-lipase (LDL) activity in adipocytes, and stimulates lipolysis
  • T inhibits differentiation of adipocyte precursor cells
  • DHEA stimulates resting metabolic rate (RMR) and lipid oxidation, and enhances glucose disposal, by increasing the expression of GLUT-1 and GLUT-4 on fat cell plasma membrane
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The insulin-like effect of DHEA would be associated to a decrease of plasma insulin concentrations and, thus, to an increase of the molar ratio between lipolytic hormones and insulin
  • the fat-reducing effect of both T and DHEA seems to be more evident at the level of visceral adipose tissue
  •  
    Testosterone inhibits lipid uptake into adipocytes.  Testosterone inhibits lipoprotein lipase.  Testosterone stimulated lipolysis.  Testosterone inhibits adipocyte differentiation of proginator cells. DHEAs effects are through different mechanisms.   Both have a preference for activity with visceral adipose tissue.
