Aldo–keto reductase 1C3 expression in MCF-7 cells reveals roles in steroid hormone and prostaglandin metabolism that may explain its over-expression in breast cancer
Open accessAbstract
Aldo-keto reductase (AKR) 1C3 (type 5 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and prostaglandin F synthase), may stimulate proliferation via steroid hormone and prostaglandin (PG) metabolism in the breast. Purified recombinant AKR1C3 reduces PGD(2) to 9alpha,11beta-PGF(2), Delta(4)-androstenedione to testosterone, progesterone to 20alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, and to a lesser extent, estrone to 17beta-estradiol. We established MCF-7 cells that stably express AKR1C3 (MCF-7-AKR1C3 cells) to model its over-expression in breast cancer. AKR1C3 expression increased steroid conversion by MCF-7 cells, leading to a pro-estrogenic state. Unexpectedly, estrone was reduced fastest by MCF-7-AKR1C3 cells when compared to other substrates at 0.1muM. MCF-7-AKR1C3 cells proliferated three times faster than parental cells in response to estrone and 17beta-estradiol. AKR1C3 therefore represents a potential target for attenuating estrogen receptor alpha induced proliferation. MCF-7-AKR1C3 cells also reduced PGD(2), limiting its dehydration to form PGJ(2) products. The AKR1C3 product was confirmed as 9alpha,11beta-PGF(2) and quantified with a stereospecific stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method. This method will allow the examination of the role of AKR1C3 in endogenous prostaglandin formation in response to inflammatory stimuli. Expression of AKR1C3 reduced the anti-proliferative effects of PGD(2) on MCF-7 cells, suggesting that AKR1C3 limits peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) signaling by reducing formation of 15-deoxy-Delta(12,14)-PGJ(2) (15dPGJ(2)).

In MCF-7 cells stably transfected with AKR1C3, the enzyme converts 0.1 μM estrone to 17β-estradiol faster than it converts Δ4-androstene-3,17-dione to testosterone or progesterone to 20α-hydroxy-pregn-4-ene-3-one.
“In MCF-7 cells stably transfected with AKR1C3 it was found that the enzyme converts 0.1 μM estrone to 17β-estradiol faster than it catalyzes either the conversion of Δ4-androstene-3,17-dione to testosterone or the conversion of progesterone to 20α-hydroxy-pregn-4-ene-3-one”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
