| Background |
|---|
| HSD17B1, or 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1, functions as a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase enzyme critically converting inactive estrone (E1) to potent estradiol (E2) in estrogen-dependent tissues like ovary granulosa cells, endometrium, and breast, featuring a 328-residue homodimeric structure (~34.5 kDa/subunit) with an N-terminal Rossmann fold (αβα sandwich) housing the NADPH cofactor-binding site via a positively charged Arg37 salt bridge to the 2'-phosphate, a catalytic triad of Ser142-Tyr155-Lys159 proton-relaying a hydride from NADPH's pro-R face to C17-keto of E1 (or androstenedione to testosterone) through a conserved Tyr155 hydrogen bond polarizing the carbonyl, and a narrow hydrophobic C-terminal substrate tunnel accommodating steroid orientation with His221 enabling substrate inhibition at high E1 levels by reverse non-productive binding. This NADPH-preferred reduction (over NAD+) amplifies local E2 for ERα binding driving proliferation via cyclin D1/CCND1 upregulation and anti-apoptosis through Bcl-2, fueling estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer growth (overexpressed in 30-50% of cases correlating with poor tamoxifen response), endometrial hyperplasia/carcinoma via paracrine E2 excess, endometriosis lesion expansion from ectopic HSD17B1, and prognostic HSD17B1/HSD17B2 imbalance; inhibitors like letrozole derivatives or ebselen target the catalytic triad to suppress intratumoral E2 without systemic hypoestrogenism. |
