DP-TAT-59, (Z)-2-(4-(1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(4-isopropylphenyl)-1-butenyl) phenoxy)-N, N-dimethylethylamine, has been reported to inhibit estrogen-stimulated growth of MCF-7 cells as well as rat uterus at lower concentrations than the hydroxymetabolite of tamoxifen (4-OH-TAM). In the present study, the growth of mouse Leydig cell tumor, B-1F cells were also more effectively inhibited by DP-TAT-59 than 4-OH-TAM. Additionally, the expression of estrogen responsive element ligated CAT gene transfected into B-1F cells was also suppressed by DP-TAT-59. Thus, the interaction of DP-TAT-59 with estrogen receptor (ER) was characterized and compared with that of 4-OH-TAM using immature rat and bovine uteri. The dissociation constant of DP-TAT-59 to ER of immature rat uterus was 0.24 nM and was similar to that of 4-OH-TAM (Kd = 0.20 nM) and estradiol (Kd = 0.29 nM). Using sucrose density gradients, the sedimentation constant of DP-TAT-59 with bovine uterus was 4.9S, which was similar to that of estradiol (5.1S) and 4-OH-TAM (5.3S). However, the elution profile of the DP-TAT-59-ER complex from a DEAE-Sephadex column was different for both estradiol-and 4-OH-TAM-ER complexes. These results suggest that ER forms different complexes with DP-TAT-59 than estradiol or 4-OH-TAM, while the ER binding affinity of these compounds are similar to each other.

The antitumor activity of a newly synthesized triphenylethylene derivative [(E)-4-[1-[4-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy-phenyl]-2-(4-isopropyl)phenyl-1- butenyl] phenyl monophosphate] (TAT-59) was investigated against human breast carcinoma xenografts in nude mice with reference to the changes of hormone receptors. Five strains (MCF-7, Br-10, R-27, ZR-75-1, and T-61) used for the experiments possessed cytosol estrogen receptor (ER), and their growth was estradiol dependent. Five mg of TAT-59 and tamoxifen citrate (TAM) per kg were administered p.o. daily except Sunday. TAT-59 showed a positive antitumor effect against MCF-7 and R-27, whereas TAM was effective on MCF-7, and their adverse effects detected by mortality rate, body weight loss, and spleen weight loss were similar to each other. The reduction of ER and production of progesterone receptor (PgR) after the treatment with TAT-59 were more potent than after TAM, suggesting that TAT-59 exerts its antitumor effect through binding to ER. These findings suggest that TAT-59 might merit use in clinical trials with breast cancers.

The antiestrogenic action of TAT-59 [(E)-4-[1-[4-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]-phenyl]-2-(4-isopropyl) phenyl-1-butenyl]phenyl monophosphate] was characterized and compared with that of Tamoxifen (TAM). Its active metabolite, 4-OH-TAT-59, had a high binding affinity to estrogen receptor (ER), present in the cytosol of the uterus of immature rat, similar to estradiol. TAT-59 and 4-OH-TAT-59 inhibited in vitro estrogen-stimulated proliferation of MCF-7 cells at a lower concentration than TAM. In the absence of estradiol, TAT-59 and 4-OH-TAT-59 were effective at a lower concentration than that of 4-OH-Tamoxifen (4-OH-TAM), the active metabolite of TAM. In uterine growth inhibition, the effective dose of TAT-59 was about 3-6-fold lower than that of TAM, in various administration schedules. The minimum effective dose of TAT-59 against in vivo MCF-7 cells was about 3-fold lower than that of TAM. In DMBA-induced rat mammary tumors, TAT-59 inhibited the growth of existing tumors at about a 10-fold lower dose than TAM. Especially in the tumors with low ER levels (10-20 fmol/mg protein), TAT-59 showed a significantly stronger inhibitory effect than TAM. These experiments showed that TAT-59 was more effective in lower doses than TAM, even against the tumors with low ER content.

TAT-59 ((E)-4-[1-[4-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]-phenyl]-2-(4- isopropyl)phenyl-1-butenyl]-phenyl-monophosphate) treatment was performed on hormone-dependent MCF-7 tumors in athymic mice. TAT-59 given at 1, 5, and 20 mg/kg inhibited the estrogen-stimulated growth of MCF-7 tumors in athymic mice in a dose-dependent fashion. The most clear decrease in tumor growth was shown in the TAT-59 alone group, although it was not dramatic. Average serum concentrations of DP-TAT-59((Z)-[1-[4-[2-(dimethylamino)- ethoxy]phenyl]-2-(4-isopropyl)phenyl-1-butenyl]-4-hydroxybenzene) and DM-DP-TAT-59(desmethyl-DP-TAT-59), metabolites of TAT-59, increased in a dose-dependent manner. Much higher levels of DP-TAT-59 and DM-DP-TAT-59 were shown in tumors (target tissues of estrogen) as compared with muscles (nontarget tissues of estrogen) or serum. A serum concentration of DP-TAT-59 or DM-DP-TAT-59 corresponding to the physiologic levels of serum estradiol in premenopausal women was sufficient to inhibit the estrogen-stimulated growth of MCF-7 tumors in mice. TAT-59 induced a dose-dependent increase in estrogen receptor levels in the MCF-7 tumors. In contrast, it prevented the estradiol (E2)-induced increase in progesterone receptor levels in a dose-dependent manner. Insulin-like growth factor 1 levels measured in the MCF-7 tumors significantly decreased in the TAT-59 alone group and in the no treatment group as compared with the E2 alone group. These results show the pronounced antiestrogenic action of TAT-59 on hormone-dependent MCF-7 tumors in athymic mice.

Tamoxifen (20-40 mg/day) has been widely used for the treatment of breast cancer and is recognized as a useful antiestrogen. A 40 mg/day dose of toremifene showed comparable efficacy, safety and usefulness to a 20 mg/day dose of tamoxifen in the double-blind comparative study with tamoxifen. Furthermore, high-dose toremifene (120 mg/day) was effective on the tamoxifen-failed breast cancer patients. Although droloxifene (3-hydroxytamoxifen) showed efficacy and safety in phase I and phase II studies, this trial has regretably been ineffective in Japan. In phase I and early phase II trials in Japan, the safety and efficacy of TAT-59 was demonstrated and a 20 mg/day dose was moderate. Tamoxifen analogues including their metabolites are expected to act effectively on tamoxifen-resistant, low estrogen receptor levels or estrogen receptor-negative tumors by mechanisms of action different from tamoxifen.

The characteristics and clinical efficacies of new hormonal drugs and new treatment methods for breast cancer using tamoxifen (TAM) were described. The new anti-estrogens, such as trioxifen, toremifene and droloxifen, have equal or better clinical efficacy than TAM. They showed a high response rate in postmenopausal patients with no previous treatment or estrogen receptor positive tumors. They were occasionally effective for patients who relapsed after TAM treatment. Pure anti-estrogen ICI 164, 384, with fewer estrogenic agonistic properties than TAM, and anti-estrogen TAT-59, which has been developed in Japan, are under clinical investigation. Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists, such as leuprolide, buserelin, triptrelin and goserelin, are available for premenopausal patients, and showed a 37% response rate on average. The pure aromatase inhibitors, such as 4-hydroxyandrostenedione and CGS 16, 949 A, are available for postmenopausal patients, and showed 30% and 17% response rates on average, respectively. The new pure aromatase inhibitor ZD-1033 is also under clinical investigation. TAM or toremifene as well as the calcium antagonist verapamil were proved to overcome the multiple anticancer drug resistance caused by P-glycoprotein. Clinical studies for breast cancer using high-dose TAM as a potential modulator of drug resistance have already been started in Europe and the United States. Chemoprevention of breast cancer using TAM, which started in the U.S., was described.

In 1973, McGuire and Chamness (In: O'Malley BW and Means AR (ed) Receptors for Reproductive Hormones, Plenum Press) summarized their work on the estrogen receptor in animal and human breast tumors, and in so doing described a target for therapeutic intervention. At that time there were no clinically useful antiestrogens, but the subsequent development of tamoxifen for breast cancer therapy has revolutionized the approach to treatment. Long-term adjuvant tamoxifen adjuvant therapy (i.e., greater than one year) has proven efficacy to enhance the survival of breast cancer patients. In addition, because there is an associated 40% decrease in contralateral breast cancer during adjuvant tamoxifen therapy and tamoxifen maintains bone density and reduces fatal myocardial infarction, clinical trials to test the worth of tamoxifen as a preventive for breast cancer in high risk women have started in the United States, United Kingdom, and Italy. Initial concerns that long-term tamoxifen causes endometrial cancer have been placed in perspective and analyzed by a review of the literature. Tamoxifen only doubles the normal risk of detecting endometrial cancer (i.e., to 2 per 1,000 tamoxifen-treated women per year), and 80% of these cases are early stage, good prognosis disease. Annual gynecological examinations and education are essential to provide reassurance for patients. The success of tamoxifen has encouraged the development of new antiestrogens to exploit the estrogen receptor as a therapeutic target. Droloxifene and TAT-59 mimic the metabolite 4-hydroxytamoxifen in having a high affinity for the estrogen receptor (Jordan et al, J Endocrinol 75:305, 1977). These drugs appear to have a pharmacological profile similar to tamoxifen. In contrast, the new pure antiestrogens have a distinct mechanism of action and will be valuable either as a first line therapy for advanced breast cancer or as a second line endocrine therapy after the failure of long-term adjuvant tamoxifen therapy. Finally, a new strategy is being developed to exploit the target site specific action of antiestrogens. Raloxifene, an antiestrogen with high affinity for the estrogen receptor but only weak estrogenicity for the uterus, prevents rat mammary tumorigenesis and maintains bone density. The drug is to be evaluated as a treatment for osteoporosis, but may also prevent the development of breast and endometrial cancer in a broad group of treated subjects. The identification of the estrogen receptor as a target for therapeutic opportunities has proved to be extremely beneficial for the control of breast cancer and has the added potential to control osteoporosis and coronary heart disease in women.

OK-432 (picibanil), a streptococcal preparation, has a strong biological response modifier (BRM) function and is expected to produce clinical improvement and prolongation of survival in treated cancer patients in Japan. We were interested in whether OK-432 augments estrogen receptor (ER) levels in breast cancer. To investigate the effect of the BRMs on cellular growth and the characteristics of ER and progesterone receptors (PgR) in the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7, we used OK-432, Krestin (PSK), a protein-bound polysaccharide extracted from Coriolus versicolor, and lentinan, a fungal branched (1...3)-beta-D-glycan. OK432 and PSK dose dependently inhibited DNA synthesis of MCF-7 cells, and the 50% inhibitory concentrations of OK-432 and PSK were 1.2 KE (klinische Einheit, clinical unit)/ml and 200 micrograms/ml, respectively. Lentinan showed no direct anticancer effect in vitro. We found that OK-432 induced a 2-fold increase in ER levels in MCF-7 cells at 0.005 KE/ml, but not in PgR. Lentinan and low-dose PSK did not change ER or PgR levels, but high-dose PSK decreased ER and PgR. We also studied the combined effect of OK-432 and antiestrogens, tamoxifen (TAM) and DP-TAT-59. The combined treatment with OK-432 and TAM showed an additive inhibitory effect on MCF-7 cells. These results suggest that OK-432 may augment the therapeutic effect of TAM in breast cancer.

Experimental and epidemiological studies have pointed to a major role of estrogens in the pathogenesis of human breast cancer. The Oxford meta-analysis (1998) once again confirmed the efficacy of antiestrogens (tamoxifen) as adjuvant therapy. We need to know whether the new non-steroid antiestrogens (idoxifen, droloxifen and TAT-59) and selective estrogen receptor modulator (raloxifen), whith preclinical characteristics better than those of tamoxifen will be more efficient clinically. Large-scale trials to compare the new drugs with tamoxifen are under way. Faslodex, a pure antiestrogen, looks highly promising, too. Zoladex, a luteinising hormone-releasing hormone agonist, is looking as a better choice than ovariectomy or irradiation of the pelvis for ovarian ablation in premenopausal breast cancer. New aromatase inhibitors are more efficient than progestins and much safer than aminoglutethimide. It has been shown recently that these inhibitors keep metastatic breast cancer at bay longer, and with longer survival. The non-steroid inhibitors (anastrozole and letrozole) and the steroid oral drug exemestane are undergoing clinical trials as means of adjuvant treatment of breast cancer. The trial of arimidex and tamoxifen administered alone or in combination (ATAC) is unique since it is using a combination of tamoxifen and an aromatase inhibitor (anastrozole). New methods of endocrine therapy have resulted in less toxic and more convenient procedures. Also, longer therapeutic effects and survival are becoming more apparent.

In the present study, we analyzed human follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)-induced cell proliferation and transactivation of estrogen-sensitive reporter genes-in L cells stably expressing the human FSH receptor [L-(hFSHR(+)) cells]. In order to dissect the signaling pathways involved in this process, L-(hFSHR(+)) cells were transiently transfected with either the 3X-ERE-TAT-Luc or the ERE-VitA2-TK-CAT reporter genes and treated with FSH or PKA activators (cholera toxin, forskolin and 8-Br-cAMP) in the presence or absence of various kinase inhibitors. We found that FSH and all PKA activators, specifically induced transactivation of both reporter genes. Transactivation of estrogen-sensitive genes by FSH or PKA activators were blocked (approximately 90%) by H89 (PKA inhibitor) and LY294002 but not by Wortmannin (PI3-K inhibitors), 4-OH-tamoxifen, ICI182,780 or SB203580 (p38 MAPK inhibitor); PD98059 (ERK1/2 inhibitor) partially (approximately 30%) blocked the FSH-mediated effect. The combination of FSH and estradiol resulted in a synergistic effect on transactivation as well as on cell proliferation, and this enhancement was attenuated by antiestrogens. We additionally analyzed the participation of the coactivators SRC-1 and cAMP response element binding protein (CREB)-binding protein (CBP) in FSH-evoked estrogen receptor (ER)-dependent transactivation; we found that CBP but not SRC-1 potentiated FSH-induced transcriptional activation of both ER-sensitive reporters, being this effect stronger on the ERE-VitA2-TK-CAT than on the 3X-ERE-TAT-Luc reporter. Thus, in L-(hFSHR(+)) cells FSH induces transcriptional activation of estrogen-sensitive genes through an A-kinase-triggered signaling pathway, using also to a lesser extent the ERK1/2 and p38 pathways. PI3-K is not apparently involved in this FSH-mediated process since LY294002, but not Wortmannin, specifically binds ERs and completely blocks estrogen action. Presumably, CBP cooperates with the ER on genes that contain estrogen responsive elements through mechanisms involving the participation of other proteins and/or basal transcription factors (e.g. CREB), which in turn mediate the transcriptional response of estrogen-sensitive reporter genes to FSH stimulation.
