Estrogen levels in breast tumors of postmenopausal women are as much as 10 times higher than estrogen levels in plasma, presumably due to in situ formation of estrogen. The major source of estrogen in breast cancer cells may be the conversion of estrone sulfate to estrone by the enzyme estrone
Although the range of applications for antisense oligonucleotides is vast, current research concentrates mainly on virology and oncology. We have conducted in vivo and in vitro investigations of radiolabelling and biodistribution of a 22-mer phosphodiester oligonucleotide injected in athymic mice
Steroid sulfatase (STS) is responsible for the hydrolysis of biologically inactive sulfated steroids into their active un-sulfated forms and promotes the growth of various hormone-dependent cancers (e.g., breast cancer). Therefore, the STS enzyme is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment
Ruthenium compounds are promising anticancer candidates owing to their lower side-effects and encouraging activities against resistant tumors. Half-sandwich piano-stool type RuII compounds of general formula [(L)RuII(η6-arene)(X)]+ (L = chelating bidentate
The enzyme steryl sulfatase may help support the growth of hormone-dependent tumors, including prostate cancers, by facilitating the conversion of circulating precursor steroids to active hormones. We sought to determine the presence of steryl sulfatase activity in the androgen-dependent human
About one-third of breast cancers are classified as estrogen-dependent breast cancers. In the past 10 years, numerous reports have suggested the importance of estrone sulfate and estrone sulfatase in regulating the supply of estrogens to these cancers. Estrone sulfatase inhibitors may thus prove to
