CYP27A1 expression is associated with risk of late lethal estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal patients

Abstract Background 27-Hydroxycholesterol (27HC) stimulates estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer (BC) progression. Inhibiting the sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) abrogates these growth-promoting effects of 27HC in mice. However, the significance of CYP27A1 expression on BC biology and prog...
