This study tested for associations between polymorphisms and circulating estrogen levels in women with breast cancer treated with letrozole or exemestane. Postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer were genotyped for (rs4149056) and rs10841753. Pretreatment and on-treatment plasma estrogens and aromatase inhibitor (AI) concentrations were measured. Regression analyses were performed to test for pharmacogenetic associations with estrogens and drug concentrations. was associated with elevated pretreatment estrone sulfate and an increased risk of detectable estrone concentrations after 3 months of AI treatment. These findings suggest polymorphisms may have an effect on estrogenic response to AI treatment, and therefore may adversely impact the anticancer effectiveness of these agents.
本研究旨在检测乳腺癌患者接受来曲唑或依西美坦治疗时, 基因多态性与循环雌激素水平之间的相关性。对激素受体阳性乳腺癌的绝经后女性进行 (rs4149056)和 rs10841753 基因分型。测定预处理和治疗期间的血浆雌激素和芳香化酶抑制剂(AI)浓度。采用回归分析检测与雌激素和药物浓度的药物遗传学相关性。 与预处理雌酮硫酸盐升高以及 AI 治疗 3 个月后可检测到雌酮浓度的风险增加相关。这些发现表明 基因多态性可能对 AI 治疗的雌激素反应产生影响,从而可能对这些药物的抗癌效果产生不利影响。
