Enzymes as modulators in malignant transformation
چکیده انگلیسی
Using an LNCaP prostate cancer cell line, we developed a cell model to study the progression of prostate cancer. In this model, androgen-sensitive LNCaP cells are transformed in culture conditions into more aggressive, androgen-independent cells. The model was used to study androgen and estrogen metabolism during the transformation process. Our results indicate that substantial changes in androgen and estrogen metabolism occur in the cells during the process. A remarkable decrease in oxidative 17HSD activity was seen, whereas reductive activity seemed to increase. Since local steroid metabolism controls the bioavailability of active steroid hormones of target tissues, the variations in steroid-metabolizing enzymes during cancer progression may be crucial in the regulation of the growth and function of organs.
