Herein, the effect of statins on serum 27HC and tumor-specific CYP27A1 expression was evaluated in 42 breast cancer patients treated with atorvastatin within a phase II clinical trial. Further, the associations between CYP27A1 expression with other primary tumor pathological features and clinical outcomes were studied in two additional independent cohorts. Statin treatment effectively decreased serum 27HC and deregulated CYP27A1 expression in tumors. However, these changes were not associated with anti-proliferative responses to statin treatment.\n                    <jats:italic>CYP27A1<\/jats:italic>\n                    was heterogeneously expressed among primary tumors, with high expression significantly associated with high tumor grade, ER negativity and basal-like subtype. High\n                    <jats:italic>CYP27A1<\/jats:italic>\n                    expression was independently prognostic for longer recurrence-free and overall survival. Importantly, the beneficial effect of high\n                    <jats:italic>CYP27A1<\/jats:italic>\n                    in ER-positive breast cancer seemed limited to women aged \u226450 years. These results establish a link between CYP27A1 and breast cancer pathobiology and prognosis and propose that the efficacy of statins in reducing serum lipids does not directly translate to anti-proliferative effects in tumors. Changes in other undetermined serum or tumor factors suggestively mediate the anti-proliferative effects of statins in breast cancer.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1530\/erc-16-0533","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,25]],"date-time":"2017-04-25T20:55:25Z","timestamp":1493153725000},"page":"339-349","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-1","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":84,"title":["Impact of 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) and 27-hydroxycholesterol in breast cancer"],"prefix":"10.1530","author":[{"given":"Siker","family":"Kimbung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ching-yi","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P\u00e4r-Ola","family":"Bendahl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Dubois","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J Will","family":"Thompson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Donald P","family":"McDonnell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Signe","family":"Borgquist","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","reference":[{"key":"2017062217301808000_24.7.319.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jnci\/djr291"},{"key":"2017062217301808000_24.7.319.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00216-012-6396-6"},{"key":"2017062217301808000_24.7.319.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(02)00849-5"},{"key":"2017062217301808000_24.7.319.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1158\/1078-0432.CCR-14-1403"},{"key":"2017062217301808000_24.7.319.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10549-013-2473-6"},{"key":"2017062217301808000_24.7.319.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Borgquist S Giobbie-Hurder A Ahern TP Garber JE Colleoni M L\u00e1ng I Debled M Ejlertsen B Coates AS Goldhirsch A , 2016 Cholesterol, cholesterol lowering medication use, and breast cancer outcomes in the BIG 1-98 study.
