Potential Prostate Cancer Drug Target: Bioactivation of Androstanediol by Conversion to Dihydrotestosterone - 0 views

  •  
    Article discusses the the conversion of 3-alpha-diol back to DHT and this role in prostate cancer in androgen deprivation therapy.  What we now know is that this metabolite interacts with ER alpha receptor to promote proliferation.  Carcinogenesis appears to be primarily an estrogen driven process and her in prostate cancer, the androgen metabolites are promoting proliferation through estrogen receptors.

Estrogen receptor beta in the prostate - 0 views

  •  
    ER beta plays an important role in the prostate.  Loss of ER beta expression in the prostate has been shown to promote carcinogenesis.  In addition, 3-beta androstanediol, a DHT metabolite has been shown to signal through ER beta.

Genotoxic metabolites of estradio... [J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 2003] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    study finds estrogen metabolites are involved in carcinogenesis through the production of toxic metabolites 3,4 quinones.  The presence of Estrogen receptors were associated with increased tumor growth. ER was in fact ER alpha.  What is interesting is that ER beta is not expressed these ERKO animals.  This again points to ER beta's anti proliferative action.

Activity and expression of progesterone metabolizing 5α-reductase, 20α-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase and 3α(β)-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductases in tumorigenic (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, T-47D) and nontumorigenic (MCF-10A) human breast cancer cells - 0 views

  • Exposure of human breast cell lines (MCF-7, MCF-10A, and ZR-75-1) to 5α-pregnanes results in changes associated with neoplasia, including increased proliferation and decreased attachment [1], depolymerization of F-actin [2] and decreases in adhesion plaque-associated vinculin
  • Exposure to 4-pregnenes results, in general, in opposite (anti-cancer-like) effects
  • 5αR1 has been detected in various androgen-independent organs, such as the liver and brain
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • 5αR2 has been found predominantly in androgen-dependent organs, such as epididymis and prostate
  • The 5α-pregnanes:4-pregnenes ratio was about 8-fold higher in tumorous than in nontumorous breast tissue after an 8-hour incubation with [14C]progesterone
  • Studies with breast cell lines, showing that 5α-pregnanes stimulate proliferation and decrease attachment of cells
  • both tissue and breast cell line studies suggest that an elevated level of progesterone 5α-reductase activity may be an indicator of breast tumorigenesis, regardless of presence or absence of ER and/or PR
  • 5αR1 is the main isoform expressed in human breast carcinomas [29] and that 5αR2 may not be associated with risk of breast cancer
  • the differences in 5α-pregnane production between the cells is due primarily to a difference in 5αR1 expression
  • As in the case of 5α-reductase activity, the presence or absence of ER and PR do not appear to be related to 5α-reductase expression.
  • the conversion of progesterone to the cancer promoting 5α-pregnanes is significantly higher in the human tumorigenic breast cell lines
  • lthough both 5αR1 and 5αR2 are expressed by these cells, the elevated 5α-reductase activity appears to be the result of significantly greater expression of 5αR1
  • Changes in progesterone metabolizing enzyme expression (resulting in enzyme activity changes) may be responsible for promoting breast cancer progression due to increased production of tumor-promoting 5α-pregnanes and decreased production of anti-cancer 20α – and 3α-4-pregnenes
  •  
    balance of enzyme production between 5alpha-reductase and 20alpha-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase and 3alpha(beta)-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase play role in carcinogenesis and proliferation in the balance of production of progesterone metabolites. The 5alpha pregnenes are pro carcinogenic  and the 4-pregnenes are anti carcinogenic.

Immunohistochemical Expression of Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors in Human Colorectal Adenoma and Carcinoma Using Specified Automated Cellular Image Analysis System: A Clinicopathological Study - 0 views

  •  
    ER and PR are suggested to play role in colon cancer.  The question is do they play a role in carcinogenesis or does the expression of the receptors indicate something else i.e. attempt at differentiation through progesterone.  Also, what receptors are involver here: ER alpha or beta.  Likewise for the progesterone receptors

Estrogen receptor ß genes associated with colorectal cancer mortality - 0 views

  •  
    Additional support for ER beta role in protection in colon cancer.  This study found that SNPs in ER beta transcription resulted in reduced ER beta expression and a resultant increase in carcinogenesis.

  •  
    study finds that exposure to gluten in "late" celiac disease does not correlate to increased risk of autoimmune disease.  Maybe the timing is important as in hormones and carcinogenesis.

Taylor & Francis Online :: Effects of Dietary Apigenin on Tumor Latency, Incidence and Multiplicity in a Medroxyprogesterone Acetate- Accelerated 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene- Induced Breast Cancer Model - Nutrition and Cancer - Volume 65, Issue 8 - 0 views

  •  
    There is absolutely no reason for women to take medroxyprogesterone acetate.  Whether the author realizes it or not, he states a truth that progestin is a "trigger" in carcinogenesis of the breast.  This study was designed to look at high dose apigenin, which the study found increased risk.

  •  
    Loss of ER beta associated with higher risk of colon cancer.  ER beta has been shown to be highly expressed in health colons.  It has been proposed that loss of this ER beta expression is associated with carcinogenesis.

  •  
    New understanding in progesterone metabolites.  These are not waste products, but are indeed active. This in vitro study found the balance of 5 alpha pregnenes and 3 alpha pregnenes, particularly 3 alpha HP promotes carcinogenesis or inhibits.  These receptors were found in all 4 breast cell lines evaluated.

  •  
    Review, only abstract available--Testosterone therapy does not affect prostate size, intraprostatic Testosterone levels, or prostate cancer progression.  Carcinogenesis of the prostate is not a androgen driven process.  It is an aromatase process.  DHT metabolites can promote tumor growth via Estrogen receptors later, but initiation, via all accounts, occurs through aromatase expression and production of estrogen in the prostate.

<i>Artesunate</i> Suppresses the Growth of Prostatic Cancer Cells through Inhibiting Androgen Receptor - 0 views

  •  
    Artesunate found to have broad range of anti-cancer activity, such as pro-apoptosis attenuation of tumor growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis. This study primarily looked at the effect in a prostate cancer mouse model. It found that the artesunate down regulated androgen receptors. Now, there is debate about how and when AR and androgens play a role in prostate cancer as studies have also pointed to estrogen and ER in carcinogenesis of the prostate.

Paradoxical effects of obesity on T cell function during tumor progression and PD-1 checkpoint blockade - 0 views

  •  
    Obesity is not the immune systems friend when it comes to cancer. Why does conventional medicine always look at things through the prism of the effects for drugs and not on the patient, carcinogenesis...
