27-Hydroxycholesterol links cholesterol and breast cancer pathophysiology.

ABSTRACT: The cholesterol metabolite and SERM, 27HC, is the signaling molecule that links cholesterol to breast cancer pathophysiology Hypercholesterolemia is a risk factor for breast cancer, and patients taking statins demonstrate lower breast cancer incidence and decreased breast cancer recurrence, data that highlights the potential importance of the recent finding that 27-Hydroxycholesterol (27HC), a primary metabolite of cholesterol, acts as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of 27HC on breast cancer pathophysiology. Elevation of 27HC in murine models increased tumor growth in an estrogen receptor dependent manner. Importantly, a high cholesterol diet decreased the time to tumor onset and increased tumor growth, and this response required presence of CYP27A1. Within human breast cancer samples, CYP27A1 expression increasesd with grade, in addition to being highly expressed in tumor associated macrophages. Finally 27HC increases metastasis to the lung. The findings herein strongly support a role for 27HC in breast cancer pathophysiology, providing support for the exploration of potential chemopreventative benefits of lower cholesterol diets, and pharmacological inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase or CYP27A1. MCF-7 cells were treated as indicated in the presence of E2 or vehicle; RNA was isolated and used for preparation of label for 3' expression analysis.

Mufudza2012 - Estrogen effect on the dynamics of breast cancer

Project description:Mufudza2012 - Estrogen effect on the dynamics of breast cancer This deterministic model shows the dynamics of breast cancer with immune response. The effects of estrogen are incorporated to study its effects as a risk factor for the disease. This model is described in the article: Assessing the effects of estrogen on the dynamics of breast cancer. Mufudza C, Sorofa W, Chiyaka ET. Comput Math Methods Med 2012; 2012: 473572 Abstract: Worldwide, breast cancer has become the second most common cancer in women. The disease has currently been named the most deadly cancer in women but little is known on what causes the disease. We present the effects of estrogen as a risk factor on the dynamics of breast cancer. We develop a deterministic mathematical model showing general dynamics of breast cancer with immune response. This is a four-population model that includes tumor cells, host cells, immune cells, and estrogen. The effects of estrogen are then incorporated in the model. The results show that the presence of extra estrogen increases the risk of developing breast cancer. This model is hosted on BioModels Database and identified by: BIOMD0000000642.

Endometrial profile of low-dose estradiol and tamoxifen combination therapy

Project description:Combination therapy with estrogen and a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) is a promising approach to safely alleviate important side effects related to estrogen deficiency in women at high risk for breast cancer. Data related to endometrial safety of estrogen+SERM co-therapies are limited, however. The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the endometrial profile of low-dose E2 and Tam alone and in combination. In this study 16 postmenopausal female cynomolgus macaques were randomized to receive placebo, low-dose micronized estradiol (E2, 0.25 mg/1800 kcal), the SERM tamoxifen (Tam, 20 mg/1800 kcal), or E2+Tam in a parallel-arm design. Endometrial samples were collected after 4 months of treatment and used for microarray analysis.

Tissue Specific Pathways for Estrogen Regulation of Ovarian Cancer Growth and Metastasis

Project description:Menopausal estrogen (E2) replacement therapy increases the risk of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC). Whether E2 is tumorigenic or promotes expansion of undiagnosed pre-existing disease is unknown. To determine E2 effects on tumor promotion, we developed an intraperitoneal mouse xenograft model using ZsGreen fluorescent ER- 2008 and ER+ PEO4 human EOC cells. Tumor growth was quantified by in vivo fluorescent imaging. In ER+ tumors, E2 significantly increased size, induced progesterone receptors, and promoted lymph node metastasis, confirming that ER are functional and foster aggressiveness. Laser captured human EOC cells from ER- and ER+ xenografted tumors were profiled for expression of E2-regulated genes. Three classes of E-regulated EOC genes were defined, but less than 10% were shared with E-regulated breast cancer genes. Since breast cancer selective ER modulators (SERM) are therapeutically ineffective in EOC, we suggest that our EOC-specific E-regulated genes can assist pharmacologic discovery of ovarian targeted SERM. 15 samples were included in this experiment with a 2x2 factorial design with 2 different cell lines (2008 and PEO4) and 2 different hormone treatments (E for Estrogen and C for Placebo Control) and 4 replicates per treatment. 1 sample was excluded (a replicate of PEO4 with C treatment) because of poor quality.

Neutrophils exposed to a cholesterol metabolite secrete extracellular vesicles that promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition and stemness in breast cancer cells [smRNA-seq]

Project description:Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are emerging as critical mediators of intercellular communication in the tumor microenvironment. Here, we investigate the mechanisms by which sEVs derived from neutrophils treated with the cholesterol metabolite, 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC), influence breast cancer progression. sEVs released from 27HC treated neutrophils enhance epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stem-like properties in breast cancer cells, resulting in loss of adherence and increased migratory capacity. Decreased miRs within the sEVs resulted in activation of the WNT/ β-catenin signaling pathway in recipient cells and suggest that this may be a predominant pathway for stem-like phenotype and EMT. Our findings underscore a novel mechanism by which 27HC-modulated neutrophils contribute to breast cancer pathophysiology through EV-mediated intercellular communication, suggesting potential therapeutic targets in cancer treatment.

Estrogen receptor prevents p53-dependent apoptosis in breast cancer

Project description:More than two thirds of breast cancers express the estrogen receptor (ER) and depend on estrogen for growth and survival. Therapies targeting ER function including aromatase inhibitors that block the production of estrogens and ER antagonists that alter ER transcriptional activity play a central role in the treatment of ER+ breast cancers of all stages. In contrast to ER- breast cancers, which frequently harbor mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor, ER+ breast cancers are predominantly wild type for p53. Despite harboring wild type p53, ER+ breast cancer cells are resistant to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis in the presence of estrogen. Using genome-wide approaches we have addressed the mechanism by which ER antagonizes the pro-apoptotic function of p53. Interestingly both ER agonists such as estradiol and selective ER modulators (SERM) such as tamoxifen promote p53 antagonism. In contrast the full ER antagonist fulvestrant blocks the ability of ER to inhibit p53-mediated cell death. This suggests an improved strategy for the treatment of ER+ breast cancer utilizing antagonists that completely block ER action together with drugs that activate p53-mediated cell death. MCF7 cells were hormone-depleted for 3 days and then treated with 10 uM doxorubicin for 12 hours
