タイトル Organic anion transporting polypeptide 2B1 expression correlates with uptake of estrone-3-sulfate and cell proliferation in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells.
ジャーナル Drug Metab Pharmacokinet
Abstract Estrone-3-sulfate (E1S) is thought to be a major estrogen precursor in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. Since E1S is a hydrophilic compound, the uptake of E1S into cancer cells is probably mediated by transporters, such as organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP, SLCO) family. In this study, we investigated the relationship between expression of OATP2B1 and cell proliferation in ER-positive breast cancer. Cell-based assays were carried out in MCF-7 cells both with and without overexpression of OATP2B1. Normal breast and tumor tissues were collected and used in this study. Cell proliferation, ER-mediated transcriptional activities and estradiol secretion were stimulated by addition of E1S to the culture medium of MCF-7 cells. These stimulatory effects were significantly greater in MCF-7 cells overexpressing OATP2B1 than in control cells. The expression level of SLCO2B1 mRNA was significantly correlated with histological grade, Ki-67 labelling index and mRNA expression of steroid sulfatase. The expression level of SLCO2B1 mRNA in luminal B-like cancers was higher than that in luminal A-like cancers. Uptake of E1S resulted in down-regulation of ERα protein and induction of Ki-67 in MCF-7 cells. The present study suggests that OATP2B1 is involved in cell proliferation by increasing the amount of estrogen in ER-positive breast cancer cells.
