several decades, it remains the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. Accumulating epidemiological and clinical evidence suggest that vitamin D insufficiency is associated with increased breast cancer incidence and poor clinical outcomes in patients with breast cancer, which makes vitamin D supplementation a potential preventive or therapeutic option for the management of breast cancer. However, the detailed mechanisms on how vitamin D protects against breast cancer remains largely unknown. This thesis mainly investigates the role of vitamin D signaling pathway in the prevention of breast cancer. There are two major themes. The first theme focuses on identifying target genes and molecular pathways of vitamin D in human breast cancer, while the second theme aims to characterize the role of the vitamin D inactivating enzyme Cyp24a1 in the development of mouse mammary gland morphogenesis. This thesis is in the publication format with Chapter III as a published article, Chapter IV, V, and VI as manuscripts in preparation, while the remaining parts of this thesis (Chapter I and II) are regarded as an introduction. Theme 1: Identification of vitamin D3 target genes in human breast cancer tissue i Chapter I summarizes the basic knowledge of vitamin D metabolism in breast tissue, our current understandings of the anti-tumor effects of vitamin D, and the role of vitamin D in breast cancer prevention based on epidemiological and clinical studies. Target genes of the vitamin D signaling pathway mainly generated from investigation of breast cancer cell lines are also reviewed. Chapter II presents the evidence from randomized clinical trials that vitamin D, plus or minus calcium supplementation, has the potential to prevent breast cancer. Our analyses indicate that the available data are insufficient to confirm any protective effect of vitamin D supplementation, with or without calcium, on the risk of breast cancer. More participants in future trials are required to make a reliable and conclusive assessment. Chapter III, published as an original research article in the Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, determines the target genes and molecular pathways influenced by 1,25(OH)2D in normal human breast and cancer tissues in an ex vivo explant system. RNA-Seq revealed 523 genes that were differentially expressed in breast cancer tissues in response to 1,25(OH)2D treatment, and 127 genes with altered expression in normal breast tissues. The major finding of the present study is that exposure of both normal and malignant breast tissue to 1,25(OH)2D results in changes in cellular adhesion, metabolic pathways and tumor suppressor-like ii pathways, which support epidemiological data suggesting that adequate vitamin D3 levels may improve breast cancer outcome. Theme 2: Characterization of the vitamin D-inactivating enzyme Cyp24a1 in pubertal mouse mammary gland morphogenesis. Chapter IV, presented as a manuscript in preparation, summarizes our current understanding from transgenic mouse models of the vitamin D receptor (Vdr) and vitamin D associated metabolic enzymes in mammary gland development, cancer initiation, and progression and discusses the implications of these findings for human breast cancer. An improved understanding of the mechanisms of action of vitamin D signaling pathway derived from these mouse models provides support that activation of vitamin D signaling pathway is a potential approach for human breast cancer prevention. Chapter V, also presented as a manuscript in preparation, characterizes the role of vitamin D-inactivating enzyme Cyp24a1 in mammary gland development. A novel mouse model was available with conditional knockout of the Cyp24a1 gene specifically in the mammary epithelium (MMTV-Cre x Cyp24a1lox/lox). Our major finding is that mammary glands from virgin Cyp24a1 knockout females display impaired ductal morphogenesis compared with age- and weight-matched wild-type mice, which is due iii to reduced proliferation of mammary epithelial cells with the ablation of Cyp24a1 activity.

From three CYP1A1 polymorphisms *2A (3801T>C), *2C (2455A>G), and *2B variant, which harbors both polymorphisms, the *2A variant is potentially carcinogenic in African Americans and the Taiwanese, but not in Caucasians, and the CYP1B1*2 (355G>T) and CYP1B1*3 (4326C>G) variants might increase breast cancer risk. Although no association of any CYP3A4 polymorphisms and breast cancer has been documented, the CYP3A4*1B (392A>G) variant, correlates with earlier menarche and endometrial cancer secondary to tamoxifen therapy. Objective: The present study was designed to investigate the frequency of CYP1A1, CYP1B1 and CYP3A4 po- lymorphisms in a sample of breast cancer patients from the Polish population and to correlate the results with the clinical and laboratory findings. Material and methods: The frequencies of CYP1A1*2A; CYP1A1*2C; CYP1B1*3; CYP3A4*1B CYP3A4*2 polymorphisms were determined in 71 patients aged 36-87, with primary breast cancer and 100 healthy indi- viduals. Genomic DNA was extracted from the tumor, and individual gene fragments were PCR-amplified.

CYP enzymes catalyze oxidative transformation leading to activation or inactivation of many endogenous and exogenous chemicals, with consequences for normal physiology and disease processes. Many CYPs potentially have roles in developmental specification, and many chemicals that cause developmental abnormalities are substrates for CYPs. Here we identify and annotate the full suite of CYP genes in zebrafish, compare these to the human CYP gene complement, and determine the expression of CYP genes during normal development. Results: Zebrafish have a total of 94 CYP genes, distributed among 18 gene families found also in mammals. There are 32 genes in CYP families 5 to 51, most of which are direct orthologs of human CYPs that are involved in endogenous functions including synthesis or inactivation of regulatory molecules. The high degree of sequence similarity suggests conservation of enzyme activities for these CYPs, confirmed in reports for some steroidogenic enzymes (e.g. CYP19, aromatase; CYP11A, P450scc; CYP17, steroid 17a-hydroxylase), and the CYP26 retinoic acid hydroxylases. Complexity is much greater in gene families 1, 2, and 3, which include CYPs prominent in metabolism of drugs and pollutants, as well as of endogenous substrates.

This article is published with open access Abstract Transcription factors (TFs) coordinate the on-and-off states of gene expression typically in a combinatorial fashion. Studies from embryonic stem cells and other cell types have revealed that a clique of self-regulated core TFs control cell identity and cell state. These core TFs form interconnected feed-forward transcriptional loops to establish and reinforce the cell-type- specific gene-expression program; the ensemble of core TFs and their regulatory loops constitutes core transcriptional regulatory circuitry (CRC). Here, we summarize recent progress in computational reconstitution and biologic exploration of CRCs across various human malignancies, and consolidate the strategy and methodology for CRC discovery. We also discuss the genetic basis and therapeutic vulnerability of CRC, and highlight new frontiers and future efforts for the study of CRC in cancer. Knowledge of CRC in cancer is fundamental to understanding cancer-specific transcriptional addiction, and should provide important insight to both pathobiology and therapeutics. 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: Introduction genes.

Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from Faculty of Pharmacy 231 50 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-554-4784-8. Cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) is an enzyme system involved in the oxygenation of a wide range of endogenous compounds as well as foreign chemicals and drugs. This thesis describes investigations of P450-catalyzed oxygenation of prostaglandins, linoleic and arachidonic acids. The formation of bisallylic hydroxy metabolites of linoleic and arachidonic acids was studied with human recombinant P450s and with human liver microsomes. Several P450 enzymes catalyzed the formation of bisallylic hydroxy metabolites. Inhibition studies and stereochemical analysis of metabolites suggest that the enzyme CYP1A2 may contribute to the biosynthesis of bisallylic hydroxy fatty acid metabolites in adult human liver microsomes. 19R-Hydroxy-PGE and 20-hydroxy-PGE are major components of human and ovine semen, respectively. They are formed in the seminal vesicles, but the mechanism of their biosynthesis is unknown. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction using degenerate primers for mammalian CYP4 family genes, revealed expression of two novel P450 genes in human and ovine seminal vesicles.

Bikle , Sophie Patzek, Yongmei Wang Department of Medicine, Endocrine Research Unit, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, University of California San Francisco, United States ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Although the kidney was initially thought to be the sole organ responsible for the production of 1,25(OH)2D via CYP27b1 the enzyme CYP27b1, it is now appreciated that the expression of CYP27b1 in tissues other than the kidney is Immune function wide spread. However, the kidney is the major source for circulating 1,25(OH)2D. Only in certain granulomatous Cancer diseases such as sarcoidosis does the extra renal tissue produce sufficient 1,25(OH)2D to contribute to the cir- Keratinocytes culating levels, generally associated with hypercalcemia, as illustrated by the case report preceding the review. Macrophages Therefore the expression of CYP27b1 outside the kidney under normal circumstances begs the question why, and in particular whether the extra renal production of 1,25(OH)2D has physiologic importance. In this chapter this question will be discussed. First we discuss the sites for extra renal 1,25(OH)2D production. This is followed by a discussion of the regulation of CYP27b1 expression and activity in extra renal tissues, pointing out that such regulation is tissue specific and different from that of CYP27b1 in the kidney. Finally the physiologic significance of extra renal 1,25(OH)2D3 production is examined, with special focus on the role of CYP27b1 in regulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation, hormone secretion, and immune function.

  • Regulation of Vitamin D Metabolizing Enzymes in Murine Renal and Extrarenal Tissues by Dietary Phosphate, FGF23, and 1,25(OH)2D3
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2018 Regulation of vitamin D metabolizing enzymes in murine renal and extrarenal tissues by dietary phosphate, FGF23, and 1,25(OH)2D3 Kägi, Larissa ; Bettoni, Carla ; Pastor-Arroyo, Eva M ; Schnitzbauer, Udo ; Hernando, Nati ; Wagner, Carsten A Abstract: BACKGROUND: The 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) together with parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) regulates calcium (Ca2+) and phosphate (Pi) homeostasis, 1,25(OH)2D3 synthesis is mediated by hydroxylases of the cytochrome P450 (Cyp) family. Vitamin D is first modified in the liver by the 25-hydroxylases CYP2R1 and CYP27A1 and further acti- vated in the kidney by the 1-hydroxylase CYP27B1, while the renal 24-hydroxylase CYP24A1 catalyzes the first step of its inactivation. While the kidney is the main organ responsible for circulating levelsofac- tive 1,25(OH)2D3, other organs also express some of these enzymes. Their regulation, however, has been studied less. METHODS AND RESULTS: Here we investigated the effect of several Pi-regulating factors including dietary Pi, PTH and FGF23 on the expression of the vitamin D hydroxylases and the vitamin D receptor VDR in renal and extrarenal tissues of mice. We found that with the exception of Cyp24a1, all the other analyzed mRNAs show a wide tissue distribution. High dietary Pi mainly upregulated the hep- atic expression of Cyp27a1 and Cyp2r1 without changing plasma 1,25(OH)2D3. FGF23 failed to regulate the expression of any of the studied hydroxylases at the used dosage and treatment length.
