Résumé

We developed an innovative co-culture system composed of Hs578t human mammary stromal-like cells and T47D hormone-dependent breast epithelial tumor cells as a representative in vitro model of the human hormone-dependent mammary tumor microenvironment. Hs578t cells expressed aromatase (CYP19) mainly via the healthy stromal CYP19 promoter I.4, but also to a lesser extent via the breast cancer-relevant promoters PII, I.3 and I.7, and produced estrogens from androgen precursors. These estrogens stimulated T47D cell proliferation and estrogen receptor-dependent expression of trefoil factor-1 (TFF1), which is known to stimulate mammary tumor cell proliferation and migration. Hs578t cells can also undergo a “promoter-switch” where the normally silent CYP19 promoters PII, I.3 and I.7 become activated, which mimics the in vivo situation in human breast cancer patients. This positive feedback loop is the hallmark of the hormone-dependent breast tumor microenvironment. Using the co-culture model we designed, we evaluated the promoter-specific expression of CYP19, expression of estrogen-dependent gene TFF1, and determined the effects exhibited by basil and fennel seed essential oils on steroidogenesis in the tumor microenvironment.
