• W393348650 abstract "Oestrogens play key roles in the development of the majority of breast tumours, a fact that has been exploited successfully in treating breast cancer with tamoxifen, which is a selective oestrogen receptor modulator. In post-menopausal women, oestrogens are synthesised in peripheral hormone-target tissues from adrenally derived precursors. Important in the peripheral fine-tuning of sex hormone levels are the 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (17βHSDs). These enzymes catalyse the oxidation/reduction of carbon 17β of androgens and oestrogens. Upon receptor binding, the 17β-hydroxy conformation of androgens and oestrogens (testosterone and oestradiol) triggers a greater biological response than the corresponding keto-conformation of the steroids (androstenedione and oestrone), and the 17βHSD enzymes are therefore important mediators in pre-receptor regulation of sex hormone action.Breast tumours differ substantially with regards to molecular and/or biochemical signatures and thus clinical courses and response to treatment. Predictive factors, which aim to foretell the response of a patient to a specific therapeutic intervention, are therefore important tools for individualisation of breast cancer therapy. This thesis focuses on 17βHSD14, which is one such proposed marker, aiming to learn more of properties of the enzyme in breast cancer as well as in normal physiology. We found that high 17βHSD14 levels were correlated with clinical outcome in two separate subsets of breast tumour materials from trials evaluating adjuvant tamoxifen therapy. Striving to understand the underlying mechanisms, immunohistochemical 17βHSD14 expression patterns were analysed in a large number of human tissues using an in-house generated and validated antibody. The 17βHSD14 protein was expressed in several classical steroidogenic tissues such as breast, ovary and testis which supports idea of 17βHSD14 being an actor in sex steroid interconversion. Furthermore, using a radio-high pressure liquid chromatography method, cultured cells transiently expressing HSD17B14 were found to oxidise both oestradiol and testosterone to their less potent metabolites oestrone and androstenedione respectively. The evaluation of a mouse model lacking Hsd17b14 revealed a phenotype with impaired mammary gland branching and hepatic vacuolisation which could further suggest a role for 17βHSD14 in oestrogen regulation.Although other mechanisms of the enzyme cannot be ruled out, we suggest that 17βHSD14 relevance in tamoxifen-treated breast cancer is related to oestradiol-lowering properties of the enzyme which potentiate the anti-proliferative effects of tamoxifen. Translating into the clinical setting, patients with oestrogen receptor positive tumours expressing low levels of oestradiol-oxidising enzymes such as 17βHSD14 would likely receive more clinical benefit from alternative treatments to tamoxifen such as aromatase inhibitors or in the future possibly inhibitors of reductive 17βHSD-enzymes." @default.
