Progesterone metabolites in breast cancer - 0 views

  • 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.

Vitamin D Deficiency Predicts Prostate Biopsy Outcomes - 0 views

  •  
    Not only was low vitamin D associated with increased diagnosis of prostate cancer at the time of diagnosis, but it was also associated with a higher Gleason grade and stage--aggressiveness.

A Case of Colorectal Cancer during Pregnancy: A Brief Review of the Literature - 0 views

  •  
    This case study reveals the complexity of cancer.  HRT and pregnancy have generally been shown to be protective against the incidence of colorectal cancer in women.  Yet, here colorectal cancer was diagnosed in the postpartum period.  Whether the high estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy played a role here is difficult to determine.

  •  
    The relationship between ER and PR and colorectal cancer is yet to be determined.  It is not outside the realm of possibility that a standardization of ER/PR in colorectal cancer is unlikely.  Each cancer is unique.  There are probably some generalizations that can be made, but complete generalizations of ER/PR in colorectal cancer in women is unlikely.

Mifepristone May Halt Progression of Extensively Metastatic Human Adenocarcinoma of the... - 0 views

  •  
    Interesting presentation of 2 case studies where by mifepristone was used in the treatment of late stage colo-rectal cancer.  The authors even propose a potential mechanism where by inhibition of progesterone signaling resulted in increased NK activity.

Sex Hormones and Colorectal Cancer: What Have We Learned So Far? - 0 views

  •  
    This article focus' more on the risks of colorectal cancer in men.  It does perform a mini-review on risks for women.  It appears progesterone is important in prevention of colorectal cancer in women.  Post-menopause, women with HRT have a reduced risk. In contrast, men with androgen deprivation therapy, there is an increase risk of colorectal cancer.

Immunohistochemical Expression of Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors in Human Colorect... - 0 views

  •  
    Study finds ER and PR increase along the timeline of tumor initiation.  The authors point to likely association that ER and PR expression is associated with and key to initiating colorectal transformation.  A lot to be determined from this study.  IF this were entirely true, then what to explain the 35% lower colorectal cancer risk in women vs men?  Likely ER and PR pertubance plays a significant role is likely, but the mere expression--yet to be determined.

Estrogen receptor acts as a dominant regulator of estrogen signaling - 0 views

  •  
    ER-beta expression appears to regulate estrogenic activity through ER-alpha expression.  Co-expression of ER-alpha and ER-beta is associated with reduced estrogenic signaling, indicating a significant counter regulatory role for ER-beta.

Opposing Action of Estrogen Receptors α and β on Cyclin D1 Gene Expression - 0 views

  •  
    ER-beta inhibits ER-alpha activation of cell proliferation via cyclin D1 gene expression.  This points to ER-beta as a counter regulatory receptor to ER-alpha.  This explains how a loss of ER-beta expression is found to be associated with increased cancers.

  •  
    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.

  •  
    ER beta expression is dominantly expressed in normal, healthy colon cells/tissue.  However, like in breast and prostate cancer, ER beta expression is lost in the dedifferentiation of colorectal transformation.

ERβ Has Nongenomic Action in Caveolae: Molecular Endocrinology: Vol 16, No 5 - 0 views

  •  
    Estrogen receptors are primarily located inside the nucleus and in the cytoplasm; not on the cell membrane surface. This article specifically focus' on the non-genomic action of ER-beta.  ER-alpha and ER-beta are classic transcription factors.
