Anticancer or carcinogenic? The role of estrogen receptor beta in breast cancer progression

Kang Shen et al.

Summary: Estrogen receptor beta (ER beta) is closely associated with breast cancer progression. Traditional notions consider ER beta as a tumor suppressor. However, recent studies have shown its carcinogenic effect, leading to a new conclusion that ER beta acts as a tumor suppressor in estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha)-positive breast cancer, but as a carcinogen in ER alpha-negative breast cancer. Nevertheless, a re-examination based on the last decade's research supports that ER beta plays an anticancer role in both types of breast cancers, regardless of ER alpha presence. This review discusses the anticancer and oncogenic effects of ER beta on breast cancer progression, analyzes inconsistencies, and updates the ER beta selective ligand library, aiming to correct misconceptions and promote ER beta-targeted breast cancer therapy.

Summary: Each year, the American Cancer Society compiles data on cancer occurrence and outcomes in the United States. The latest data shows that breast and prostate cancer progress has stagnated, while lung cancer has shown improvements in survival rates. Lung cancer incidence for advanced disease has declined while localized-stage rates have increased, resulting in higher survival rates. Mortality patterns align with incidence trends, with lung cancer deaths declining rapidly, breast cancer deaths slowing, and prostate cancer deaths stabilizing.

Zhengyu Lu et al.

Summary: This study describes the structure-based optimization of LSZ102, resulting in the identification of compound 40 as a preferred candidate for endocrine therapy of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. Compound 40 showed superior pharmacological profiles, including growth inhibition of cancer cells and strong antitumor efficacy in a mouse model.

Discovery of Novel Bicyclic Phenylselenyl-Containing Hybrids: An Orally Bioavailable, Potential, and Multiacting Class of Estrogen Receptor Modulators against Endocrine-Resistant Breast Cancer

Xiangping Deng et al.

Summary: This study identified a new ER modulator, 34b, which showed antiproliferative effects against breast cancer cells and induced apoptosis through mitochondrial dysfunction. In vivo experiments demonstrated that 34b had better tumor suppression than tamoxifen. Therefore, this compound has potential as a candidate for treating breast cancer, particularly tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer.

Stereospecific lasofoxifene derivatives reveal the interplay between estrogen receptor alpha stability and antagonistic activity in ESR1 mutant breast cancer cells

David J. Hosfield et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of chemical manipulation of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) cellular lifetime and accumulation on antagonistic activity. The results show that molecules favoring a highly buried helix 12 antagonist conformation achieve the greatest transcriptional suppression activities in breast cancer cells harboring WT/Y537S ESR1.

Balanced dual acting compounds targeting aromatase and estrogen receptor α as an emerging therapeutic opportunity to counteract estrogen responsive breast cancer

Jessica Caciolla et al.

Summary: Breast cancer is a major cause of death in women globally, and the development of dual acting molecules targeting aromatase and estrogen receptor alpha may provide a promising alternative strategy to combat estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. This study identifies key structural features needed for optimal dual acting drug candidates, demonstrating the potential of multitarget compounds as a viable therapeutic option for ER+ BC.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Epigenetic mechanisms in breast cancer therapy and resistance

Liliana Garcia-Martinez et al.

Summary: The majority of breast cancers express the estrogen receptor and endocrine therapy has been the mainstay for hormone-responsive breast cancer treatment. Recent studies have shown the importance of the epigenome in determining hormone therapy response and how targeting epigenetic factors can help overcome clinical resistance. Understanding epigenetic mechanisms regulating ER+ breast cancer and endocrine therapy resistance is crucial for improving targeted therapies for this type of cancer.
