medicine | 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 is mainly involved in the conversion of estradiol into estrone. Their ratio is decreased from 9/1 to 7/3 after over-expression of 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 in MCF-7 cells already over-expressing 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1. The ratio is further decreased by the addition of the oxidative cofactor, NAD, to the cell culture to facilitate the estradiol to estrone conversion catalyzed by 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 | Homo sapiens |
medicine | twenty four hours after addition of different concentrations of estrone and estradiol, the ratio stabilizes to around 9/1 in breast cancer cell lines with high expression of 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1, such as T47D, BT 20, and JEG 3 cells, whereas it approaches 1/5 in cells with low expression of 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1, such as MCF-7 cells. The estradiol/estrone concentration ratio is modified to 9/1 in MCF-7 and HEK-293 cells over-expressing 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1. In T47D and BT 20 cells , this ratio is decreased from 9/1 to nearly 1/5 after 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 knockdown by specific siRNAs | Homo sapiens |
