Abstrakt: | Metabolic pathways have emerged as cornerstones in carcinogenic deregulation providing new therapeutic strategies for cancer management. Recently, a new branch of cholesterol metabolism has been discovered involving the biochemical transformation of 5,6-epoxycholesterols (5,6-ECs). The 5,6-ECs are metabolized in breast cancers to the tumour promoter oncosterone whereas, in normal breast tissue, they are metabolized to the tumour suppressor metabolite, dendrogenin A (DDA). Blocking the mitogenic and invasive potential of oncosterone will present new opportunities for breast cancer treatment. The reactivation of DDA biosynthesis, or its use as a drug, represents promising therapeutic approaches such as DDA-deficiency complementation, activation of breast cancer cell re-differentiation and breast cancer chemoprevention. This review presents current knowledge of the 5,6-EC metabolic pathway in breast cancer, focusing on the 5,6-EC metabolic enzymes ChEH and HSD11B2 and on 5,6-EC metabolite targets, the oxysterol receptor (LXRβ) and the glucocorticoid receptor.
