Aromatase over expression transgenic murine models for aromatase inhibitor studies.
In recent years the emerging importance of estrogen signaling in males in addition to its major role in the female reproductive system became highlighted. Aromatase is the key enzyme for synthesis of estrogens from androgens and is responsible for controlling the androgen/estrogen ratio. Inhibition of aromatase gene expression can be achieved in different ways and is important for the treatment...
متن کاملGrape seed extract is an aromatase inhibitor and a suppressor of aromatase expression.
Aromatase is the enzyme that converts androgen to estrogen. It is expressed at higher levels in breast cancer tissues than normal breast tissues. Grape seed extract (GSE) contains high levels of procyanidin dimers that have been shown in our laboratory to be potent inhibitors of aromatase. In this study, GSE was found to inhibit aromatase activity in a dose-dependent manner and reduce androgen-...
متن کاملAppraising adjuvant aromatase inhibitor therapy.
Tamoxifen, once the gold standard adjuvant endocrine therapy for early breast cancer, is being challenged by third-generation aromatase inhibitors (AIs) that have demonstrated improved disease-free survival in a variety of adjuvant settings for early breast cancer. Tamoxifen and AIs have different safety profiles, which should allow physicians to begin to individualize treatment based on a pati...
متن کاملAromatase inhibitor-associated bone loss.
273 A 49-year-old postmenopausal Caucasian woman named M.A. was diagnosed with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, progesterone receptor (PR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. Anthracycline and taxane-based adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy were followed by adjuvant therapy with an aromatase inhibitor (AI). Before M.A. started adjuvant AI therapy, she was evaluated for any additiona...
متن کاملStable Expression of Human Aromatase Complementary DNA in Mammalian Cells: A Useful System for Aromatase Inhibitor Screening1
A mammalian cell expression plasmid, pH ,>'-\ro. containing the human placenta aromatase complementary DNA was constructed. The prepared plasmid was used to transfect breast cancer cells (MCF-7), noncancerous breast cells ( I lit] 1(10),and Chinese hamster ovary cells by a stable expression method. While the maximum velocities for aro matase expressed in three types of cells »eredifferent (10-...
