Role of polymorphic human cytochrome P450 enzymes in estrone oxidation

Abstract

Estrogen and its metabolites are believed to play important roles in breast cancer. The influence of genetic polymorphisms in the enzymes responsible for formation and disposition of estrogen on breast cancer risk may shed light on the importance of estrogen metabolites in this disease. However, for such studies to be valid, it is important to correctly identify the enzymes involved in estrogen bioactivation. Therefore, we assessed the human cytochrome P450-dependent oxidation of estrone using substrate concentrations that more closely approximate the maximum expected concentrations in breast tissue. The in vitro metabolism of estrone by recombinant human cytochrome P450 enzymes and human liver microsomes was studied. The formation of estrone metabolites (2-hydroxyestrone, 4-hydroxyestrone, and 16alpha-hydroxyestrone) was monitored by high-performance liquid chromatography. 2-Hydroxyestrone formation was catalyzed predominantly by CYP1A2, CYP1A1, and CYP1B1 enzymes; 4-hydroxyestrone formation was catalyzed predominantly by CYP1B1, CYP1A2, and CYP1A1 enzymes; and 16alpha-hydroxyestrone formation was catalyzed predominantly by CYP2C19, CYP1A1, and CYP3A5. This study confirms the important role of members of the CYP1 family in the 2-hydroxylation and 4-hydroxylation of estrone, but the enzymes identified as responsible for the 16alpha-hydroxylation of estrone are different from those previously identified. The relative importance of these enzymes in vivo would depend on the specific tissue expression of the enzymes. These enzymes are all known to be genetically variant in the human population, and additional studies to assess the role CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and CYP3A5 in breast cancer risk are indicated.

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.
