Aromatase activity in the rat brain: Hormonal regulation and sex differences - 0 views

  •  
    Rat study finds balance of DHT and estradiol play important role.  The production of DHT removes Testosterone from the pool to make estradiol through aromatase activity.

The Androgen Derivative 5α-Androstane-3β,17β-Diol Inhibits Prostate Cancer Ce... - 0 views

  • In the early stages, prostate cancer growth is dependent on circulating androgens
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      This is in contrast to studies that show poor prognosis with Lower T at time of diagnosis of prostate cancer
  • 5α-reductase not only provides a potent amplification of the androgenic signal ( 4– 6), but it also prevents estrogen formation by subtracting testosterone from the action of aromatase ( 7, 8), thus blocking activation of the estrogen receptor subtypes (ERα and ERβ; refs. 9, 10)
  • ERβ is the prevailing subtype ( 11), and a growing body of evidence points to the protective role of this receptor in prostate cancer

  • It has been shown that the transformation of the dihydrotestosterone to 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol (3α-diol) and 5α-androstane-3β,17β-diol (3β-Adiol), generates two metabolites unable to bind the androgen receptor, but possessing a very high affinity for the estrogen receptors
  • the effects of testosterone may result from the balance between the androgenic and the estrogenic molecules originating from its catabolism.
  • Recent data have been published postulating a direct estrogenic role of the 3β-hydroxylated derivatives of dihydrotestosterone in the prostate development and homeostasis

The Androgen Derivative 5α-Androstane-3β,17β-Diol Inhibits Prostate Cancer Ce... - 0 views

  • the dihydrotestosterone metabolite 5α-androstane-3β,17β-diol (3β-Adiol), a steroid which does not bind androgen receptors, but efficiently binds the estrogen receptor β (ERβ), exerts a potent inhibition of prostate cancer cell migration through the activation of the ERβ signaling
  • estradiol is not active
  • 3β-Adiol, through ERβ, induces the expression of E-cadherin, a protein known to be capable of blocking metastasis formation in breast and prostate cancer cells
  •  
    DHT metabolite 3-beta androstanediol inhibits prostate cancer via its interaction with ER beta not AR.  This study finds increased E-cadherin transcription to reduce metastasis.  Estrogen was not active, according to this study.  This implies that estrogen in early disease may have a different signal than late.

    20alpha dihydroprogesterone, a 4 pregnene, has been shown to inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation, decrease mets through increased cell adhesion, and increased apoptosis.  Here, it has been shown to inhibit aromatase activity.  No longer are hormone metabolites to be viewed as waste.  They are biological as active if not more so in many cases.

    5alpha pregnanes and 4 pregnanes stimulate ER and PR negative breast cancer cells.  Progesterone metabolites stimulate or inhibit cancer potential independent of receptor status.  Though we know that progesterone metabolite balance can increase receptor binding.

    Intra mammary progesterone metabolism and its associated metabolites found to be associated with tumorigenic activity in cell lines.  This was independent from ER PR status.  5 alpha-pregnanes were found to be pro-tumor and 4-pregnanes were anti-tumor.

    5 alpha androstanediol promotes prostate cancer growth and survival independent of androgen receptors.   This study didn't clarify the mechanism.  We no know that this occurs via estrogen receptor alpha.  Thus a Testosterone metabolite signals through an estrogen receptor.
