The Interaction of Leptin, Zeranol and Gossypol in Breast Cancer The interaction of leptin, zeranol and gossypol in breast cancer development Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master in Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Pingping Xu, M.S Graduate Program in Veterinary Bioscience The Ohio State University 2010 Thesis Committee: Dr. Young C. Lin, Advisor Dr. Huey-Jen Lee Lin Dr. Robert J.Lee Copyright by Pingping Xu 2010 Abstract Both breast cancer and obesity are very serious problems in the U.S. Leptin, mainly secreted by adipocytes, is a product of the obese (ob) gene and plays an important role in breast cancer development. Leptin expression is up-regulated in obesity and it can promote breast cancer cell growth. On the other hand, exposure to environmental estrogens has been found to be directly related to breast cancer. Zeranol (Z), is a non- steroidal anabolic growth promoter with estrogenic activity and widely used in the U.S beef industry. Another natural compound extracted from cottonseed and used as an anticancer chemopreventive agent, gossypol, can inhibit breast cancer growth. It is suggested gossypol could be used as potential chemopreventive food components. The current study demonstrated that Z stimulated the proliferation of primary cultured human normal and cancerous breast epithelial cells and sera collected from Z-implanted beef heifers stimulated the growth of pre-adipocytes isolated from breast cancer patients. This study is focusing on evaluation of Z and bio-active Z-containing sera collected from Z-implanted beef and its adverse health risk to human consumption of Z-containing meat produced from Z-implanted beef cattle. We hypothesize that Z might increase the risk of breast cancer in obese women. Cell proliferation assay, ELISA analysis, RT-PCR and Western blotting were conducted. The primary cultured human normal breast epithelial cells (HNBECs) and pre-adipocytes (HNBPADs) were isolated from human normal breast tissues and cultured, the primary cultured human breast cancer epithelial cells (HBCECs) were isolated from breast cancer ii patients and cultured. The MTT assay to evaluate the proliferation of HNBECs, HBCECs, and HNBPADs was carried out. The sera used in the MTT assay were: non-zeranol serum (NZS) dropped from the non-zeranol-implantation beef heifers at day 0 (NZS-D0) and at day 30 post zeranol-implantation (NZS-D30); zeranol-serum (ZS) harvested from zeranol implantation heifers at day 0 (ZS-D0) and day 30 post zeranol-implantation (ZS- D30). The concentration for both NZS and ZS was 0.2, 1.0 and 5.0% in cultured medium. Our result shows both Z and lp can increase primary cultured HNBECs, HNCECs, PADs and MCF-7 Adr cell growth. ZS have a greater power to stimulate HNBECs and HNBPADs growth than NZS and the combination of Z with leptin increase HNBECs and HNBPADs cyclin D1 mRNA expression and down-regulate P53 or PTPg mRNA expression while (-)-gossypol revert its effect in MCF-7 Adr cells, primary cultured PADs, HBCECs and HBNECs. Leptin can increase the breast cancer cells’ sensitivity to Z and Z increase the ObR mRNA expression both in primary cultured HBCECs and MCF-7 Adr cells. Z stimulates primary cultured HNBECs and PADs secrete leptin. These results pointed out that the leptin may be involved in enhancing the HNBPADs sensitivity to ZS and there is interaction between Z and leptin in HNBPADs. It suggests Z maybe more harmful to obese patients and might play a role in breast cancer development and (-)-gossypol may serve as a potential chemopreventive agent and play an important role in breast cancer chemoprevention. iii Dedication Dedicated to my parents, my husband, my son and my daughter iv Acknowledgments I would like to express my appreciation to my advisor Dr. Young C.

China Received May 28, 2015; Accepted April 18, 2016 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2016.5293 Abstract. Aromatase is a crucial enzyme for the biosynthesis One of the potential factors that contributes to breast carcino- of estrogens and is involved in the process of breast carcino- genesis is the increased exposure of epithelial cells to estrogens genesis. Concerns have been raised regarding the effects of produced locally by the tissue microenvironment (2). It is clear environmental estrogens as potential regulators of aromatase that estrogens increase mammary gland cell proliferation, expression in human breast cells. Zeranol is a non-steroidal predominantly via estrogen receptor (ER)-mediated mecha- agent with potent estrogenic activity, which is widely used as nisms in estrogen-dependent breast tumors (3,4). The synthesis a growth promoter for cattle in certain countries. The present of estrogens in breast tissue is catalyzed by the enzyme study hypothesized that aromatase expression and activity aromatase, which is encoded by the gene cytochrome P450 may be elevated by low dose zeranol exposure, providing a family 19 subfamily A member 1 (CYP19A1). Aromatase is a source of estrogens that may stimulate cell proliferation.

Minor revisions to the Preamble were made by the Drug Classification subcommittee (now the Veterinary Pharmacologists Subcommittee) on September 3, 1991. "The Uniform Classification Guidelines printed on the following pages are intended to assist stewards, hearing officers and racing commissioners in evaluating the seriousness of alleged violations of medication and prohibited substance rules in racing jurisdictions. Practicing equine veterinarians, state veterinarians, and equine pharmacologists are available and should be consulted to explain the pharmacological effects of the drugs listed in each class prior to any decisions with respect to penalities to be imposed. The ranking of drugs is based on their pharmacology, their ability to influence the outcome of a race, whether or not they have legitimate therapeutic uses in the racing horse, or other evidence that they may be used improperly. These classes of drugs are intended only as guidelines and should be employed only to assist persons adjudicating facts and opinions in understanding the seriousness of the alleged offenses.
