An increased risk of developing endometrial cancer is observed in breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen (TAM) and in healthy women undergoing TAM chemoprevention therapy. TAM−DNA adducts were detected in the endometrium of women taking TAM (Shibutani, S., et al. (2000)Carcinogenesis21, 1461−1467) and are formed primarily throughO-sulfonation of α-hydroxytamoxifen (α-OHTAM). To explore the genotoxicic mechanisms of TAM, TAM was incubated with one of multiple human cytochrome P450 enzymes, i.e., P450 1A1, 1A2, 1B1, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C18, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, 3A4, 3A5, 3A7, 4A11, 4F2, 4F3A, or 4F3B, in a NADPH regenerating system, and the metabolites were identified using HPLC/UV analysis with authentic standards. Among the 18 human P450 enzymes, P450 3A4 generated a significant amount of α-OHTAM. When some rat P450 enzymes were examined, P450 3A2 also catalyzed α-hydroxylation of TAM. Similarly, human P450 3A4 and rat P450 3A1 and 3A2 converted toremifene (TOR, a chlorinated TAM analogue) to α-hydroxytoremifene (α-OHTOR). The formation of α-OHTAM and α-OHTOR by these P450 enzymes was confirmed by tandem mass spectroscopy. Only the P450 3A subfamily enzymes are able to α-hydroxylate TAM and TOR. Although the formation of α-OHTOR by these enzymes was much higher than that of α-OHTAM, TOR is known to be much less genotoxic than TAM. The results support our proposed mechanism that the lower genotoxicity of TOR is due to limitedO-sulfonation of α-OHTOR by hydroxysteroid sulfotransferases, resulting in the poor formation of DNA adducts (Shibutani, S., et al. (2001)Cancer Res.61, 3925−3931).
