Abstract

Estrogen is synthesized from cholesterol and high cholesterol levels are suggested to be associated with increased risk of estrogen receptor(ER)-positive breast cancer. The cholesterol metabolite 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-OHC) was recently identified as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) and may therefore impact breast cancer progression. However, the mechanisms by which 27-OHC may contribute to breast cancer are not all known. We determined the extent to which 27-OHC regulates cell proliferation in MCF7 ER-positive breast cancer cell line involving the tumor suppressor protein p53. We found that treatment of MCF7 cells with 27-OHC resulted reduced p53 transcriptional activity. Conversely, treatment of the ER-negative MDA-MB 231 cells with 27-OHC induced no significant change in p53 activity. Exposure of MCF7 cells to 27-OHC was also associated with increased protein levels of the E3 ubiquitin protein ligase MDM2 and decreased levels of p53. Moreover, 27-OHC also enhanced physical interaction between p53 and MDM2. Furthermore, 27-OHC-induced proliferation was attenuated using either the p53 activator Tenovin-1 or the MDM2 inhibitor Nutlin-3 and Mdm2 siRNA. Taken together, our results indicate that 27-OHC may contrib...Continue Reading
