epithelial ovarian cancer cell | determination of the levels of SULT1E1, STS and estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) protein in paraffin-embedded specimens from 206 patients with Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage II-IV EOC treated with debulking surgery and standard platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy. Significantly higher SULT1E1 levels are observed in better differentiated EOC tumors compared to grade 3 EOC tumors. STS and SULT1E1 levels are positively associated with ERalpha abundance | Homo sapiens | - |

physiological function | 17beta-estradiol (E2) can contribute to the progression of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Although the majority of patients with EOC are postmenopausal woman, when de novo estrogen production in the ovary has ceased, ovarian cancer cells remain exposed to estrogens synthesized locally in the cancer cells from inactive sulfonated steroid hormone precurxadsors, such as estrone sulfate taken up from the circulation via the sulfatase pathway. An abundance of the estrogen-modixadfying enzymes, including estrogen-activating steroid sulfatase (STS, EC 3.1.6.2) and estrogen-inactivating estrogen-sulfotransferase (SULT1E1), is important for providing active estrogen to EOC cells. In advanced stage high-grade serous EOC, the most frequent and lethal type of ovarian cancer, SULT1E1 expression is significantly associated with a better overall survival rate. Importance of SULT1E1-mediated estrogen inactivation in EOC, particularly high-grade serous EOC (HGSOC). Therefore, targeting the sulfatase pathway is a potenxadtial endocrine therapeutic intervention for certain patients with estrogen-responsive EOC | Homo sapiens |
