A relationship between estrogen sulfurylation and estrogen and progesterone receptor status in human mammary carcinoma. 1980

T Pewnim, and J B Adams, and K P Ho

It was previously demonstrated that a correlation existed between estrogen receptor (ER) status and levels of estrogen sulfotransferase in human mammary cancer, high levels being associated with ER-positive and low levels with ER-negative tumors. We have now examined these same parameters, along with progesterone receptor (PGR) status, in 44 primary human mammary tumors. Tumors which were both ER-positive and PGR-positive (n = 21), showed significantly higher levels of estrogen sulfotransferase compared to ER-positive PGR-negative (n = 12) and ER-negative PGR-negative (n = 11) tumors. These values (pmol estradiol sulfate per mg protein per 2 hr) were 72 +/- 12 (S.E.), 25 +/- 5, and 11 +/- 4 (p less than 0.01 and less than 0.005, respectively). There was no significant difference between ER-positive PGR-negative and ER-negative PGR-negative tumors. The possible involvement of PGR in the regulation of estrogen sulfotransferase is discussed.

D011980 Receptors, Progesterone Specific proteins found in or on cells of progesterone target tissues that specifically combine with progesterone. The cytosol progesterone-receptor complex then associates with the nucleic acids to initiate protein synthesis. There are two kinds of progesterone receptors, A and B. Both are induced by estrogen and have short half-lives.
