Excerpt

Tamoxifen has been the principal endocrine therapy for estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-positive breast cancer patients and still remains the therapy of choice in the premenopausal setting. However, resistance and recurrence remain a serious problem. Our previous work has indicated that 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) was significantly down-regulated in two, independently derived, tamoxifen-resistant (TAMr) MCF-7 derivatives compared with sensitive controls [1]. 15-PGDH is the key enzyme for the biological inactivation of prostaglandins, and has been shown to be a tumour suppressor in breast cancer. However, a role for 15-PGDH downregulation in endocrine resistance has not previously been identified. …
