Breast cancer – estrogen biosyntheiss and function มีบทบาทสำคัญ
ทั้ง endogenous estrogen production and estrogen therapy(ET)
ทำไม prevalence of CA breast เพิ่มขึ้นในช่วง estogen production ลดลง
relative risk(RR) CA breast 70-74yr 17.0 เมื่อเทียบกับ 30-34yr
ส่วน ET มี RR 1.2-1.4 varies

Estrogen-dependent Breast cancer risk
binding estrogen- ERE – estrogen response element
affinity of estradiol มี distribute ของ α,  β estrogen receptor

Estrogen synthesis
ใน postmenopause , estrogen จะถูกสร้งจาก non-ovarian site eg liver , adipose tissue and muscle
ทั้งจำนวนและ type of estrogen ถูกคุมโดย 3 enzyme
– 17β-hydroxylase cytochrome p450 – สร้าง DHEA – dehydroepiandrosterone
– Androstenedione (original จาก cholesterol )
– p450 aromatase – regulate การ conversion androstenedione -> estrone และ testosterone -> estradiol
ส่วน 17βOHSD เป็น bidirectional formation of androstenedione -> testosterone และ estrone -> more potent estradiol
Hydroxylase enzyme and aromatase enzyme ทั้งคู่ ถูก control by cytochrome CYP17 และ CYP19 ตามลำดับ
คนที่มี CYP polymorphism จะมี high serum estradiol
aromatase gene บางสถานะ act เป็น oncogene with breast tissue
17βOHSD level พบว่ามีสูงกว่า normal breast tissue และอาจจะมีผลต่อ progress of disease เมื่อมี elevating local estrogen production

17β-OHSD , aromatase gene
