PXR Influences Endocrine Therapies in Breast Cancer The Human Orphan Receptor PXR Influences

Breast Cancer

Abstract
PXR (Pregnane X receptor) is known to induce expression of the drug
metabolizing enzyme CYP3A (Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase 3A). PXR mRNA has
been detected in both normal and neoplastic human breast tissue. CYP3A4 enzymes have
also been found in human breast cancer tissue. It was suggested that there might be a
PXR/CYP3A regulated pathway that would influence the efficiency of drug therapy in

breast cancer (Dotzlaw et al. 1999). The data presented here shows that tamoxifen and
its active metabolite 4-hydroxytamoxifen can activate PXR at a micromolar range similar

to rifampicin that is a known activator of PXR. Additional data shows that PXR is present
in BK MCF-1 breast cancer cell line and that it is active. Tamoxifen is an anti-oestrogen

and the major drug used in treatment for breast cancer. It is estimated that more than
seven million patients undergo tamoxifen treatment every year (Gradishar and Jordan,

1997). Two significant side effects with tamoxifen are uterine cancer and tamoxifen
resistance. A majority of the patients that are treated with tamoxifen under a longer
period eventually become resistant. As yet the mechanism that causes tamoxifen

resistance is unknown. Tamoxifen is a partial agonist and has been shown to induce
expression of the multidrug resistance protein MRP2 in monkey liver. It is possible that

PXR is responsible for the agonist properties of tamoxifen and that it could be involved in
tamoxifen resistance.

Introduction
When the ligand is in place, the receptor
protein undergoes a structural change and progesterone and cortisol regulate a number of processes in higher eukaryotes including homeostasis and differentiation. They are where it binds to a short DNA sequence called Hormone Response Element (HRE) and there receptor protein in the cytoplasm. A typical it regulates the transcription of target genes. target cell contains 10,000 steroid receptors. PXR Influences Endocrine Therapies in Breast Cancer Fig. 2 The two isoforms of human PXR. The numbers represent the amino acids residues. DBD, DNA binding domain. PXR 2 has a deletion of 123 nucleotides in the LBD, ligand Fig. 1 The steroid hormone receptor can be located either in the cytoplasm or in the PXR is most abundant in liver and intestine, (Bertilsson et al. 1998) yet PXR mRNA has from human liver cDNA library. PXR is a novel neoplastic breast tissue (Dotzlaw et al. orphan nuclear receptor since it lacks an 1999). Nuclear receptors regulate metabolic
pathways by regulating the transcription of activated in vitro by both naturally occurring progesterone and synthetic glucocorticoids at transcription of the CYP3A genes that encode high concentrations. A number of clinically for the drug-metabolizing CYP3A enzymes. used drugs such as the antibiotic rifampicin The CYP3A enzymes are responsible for the metabolism of almost 60% of all clinically used drugs (Lehman et al. 1998). This makes PXR very interesting since it is crucial to progesterone and is included in the steroid understand the mechanism underlying CYP3A receptor superfamily.

The cell lines that were used were BK MCF-7, SF MCF-7, ZR75-1 and T47D. On the first agarose gel (1%) no signals were seen.

The data presented here supports the theory run. The first two transfections failed. A third that tamoxifen and 4-hydroxytamoxifen can activate PXR in vitro. The required Rifampcin induced a 9 fold induction at 10 concentration, 10 µM, is however high. The µM, 4-hydroxy tamoxifen gave a 6.2 fold results imply that BK MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines contain PXR and that it is active. More tests need to be run before any final considered activation. More tests need to be conclusions can be drawn. What is to be done run before any final conclusions and statistics next is to look for the CYP3A enzyme in the can be made. However it looks as if both cell line and see if it is actively metabolizing tamoxifen. Another task is to see if the upgraded. The tests need to be repeated on PXR/CYP3A regulated pathway works in vivo. One essential goal is to determine if PXR is Cells were analyzed for luciferase and ß-gal involved in tamoxifen resistance. It is crucial activity and the data represent the mean of 3 behind drug interaction and enhance the drug folded induction at 10 µM yet tamoxifen and 4-hydroxy- tamoxifen also gave good inductions at 10 µM. 4-hydroxytamoxifen gave a 6.2 fold induction and tamoxifen gave a 4.4 fold induction.
PXR is present in the BK MCF-7 breast
cancer cell line and it is active
The cells were transfected and treated with
rifampicin, 4-hydroxytamoxifen and tamoxifen. Rifampicin and PXR was used as a positive control. Rifampicin activated PXR in the BK MCF-7 breast cancer cell. This suggests that PXR is not only present in the cell line, it is also active, as shown in diagram2. PXR Influences Endocrine Therapies in Breast Cancer References
