The etiology of breast cancer is very diverse and ethanol (EtOH) consumption is a well- established risk factor for breast cancer in women. However, the mechanism by which EtOH exerts its carcinogenic activity in breast tissue remains unknown. CYP2E1 is known to metabolize ethanol and produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), including superoxide in epithelial cells. Therefore, in the present studies, we investigated whether there is an increase in ROS following overexpression of CYP2E1 in MCF-10A cells. We found that 30 and 100 mM EtOH increased ROS levels after 2 h treatment in CYP2E1 overexpressing cells. Based on these results and our previous studies with ROS-producing chemicals, we also examined epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation following exposure to ethanol. We found that there was an increase in phosphorylation of pY1086 EGFR after 18 h EtOH treatment in CYP2E1 overexpressing cells. These studies support a hypothesis that EtOH might increase human mammary cell activation, via an EGFR-dependent signaling mechanism associated with oxidative stress. © 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Introduction Previous studies by our laboratories have demonstrated that reactive oxygen species (ROS) activate epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathways in human mammary epithelial cells by superoxide and hydrogen peroxide-dependent mech- anisms (Burdick et al., 2003). Activation of EGFR signaling is associated with tumor promotion and progression in epithelial cells (Mill et al., 2009). We have previously worked with redox-cycling quinones derived from benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), which included the 1,6-benzo(a)pyrene quinone and 3,6-benzo(a)pyrene quinone (1,6- BPQ and 3,6-BPQ). These quinones have been found to generate ROS, increase mammary cell proliferation and replace the need for normal growth factors such as EGF, in long term cultures. BPQs increase EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation on several phosphosites leading to downstream cell signaling pathways including phos- pholipase C and several STAT pathways (Rodríguez-Fragoso et al., 2009).

Because EtOH can be metabolized by several different pathways, one of which is associated with a microsomal enzyme oxidizing system (MEOS) and CYP2E1 in liver resulting in the for- mation of superoxide anion (Cederbaum et al., 2009), we were interested in determining whether CYP2E1 metabolism of EtOH can induce ROS formation in human mammary epithelial cells. There- fore, we examined the possibility that CYP2E1-related metabolism of ethanol may form sufficient amounts of superoxide to activate the EGFR in human mammary epithelial cells.

CYP2E1 transfected cells (4.12E1 cells) demonstrated an increase in the level of phosphory-lation of pY1086 EGFR when cells were treated for 18 h with1 M 3,6-BPQ (used as a positive control based on the ndings ofRodrguez-Fragoso et al., 2009, 20). Treatment with 30 mM ethanolproduced a 1.2-fold increase in pY1086 phosphorylation (similar to3,6-BPQ), and 100 mM ethanol produced a 3-fold increase, as com-pared to untreated cells and backbone vector controls (p < 0.05).These results demonstrate that CYP2E1-generated ROS are able toactivate the EGFR signaling pathway, as previously described forB(a)P-quinones (Rodrguez-Fragoso et al., 2009).

    4. Discussion

    Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second lead-ing cause of cancer-related mortality among American women(Draper, 2006). The etiology of breast cancer is very diverse andEtOH consumption is a well-established risk factor for breast can-cer in women (Rohan et al., 2000; Boffeta and Hashibe, 2006;Smith-Warner et al., 1998; Hamajima et al., 2002; Singletary andGapstur, 2011). However the mechanisms through which this agentis involved in the development of breast cancer is not fully elu-cidated. Acute and chronic EtOH consumption has the ability to
