Fluorosis and Breast Cancer

Sabitha, Suneetha, Mohanty S, Rao P - "Serum anti-TPO levels in benign and malignant breast tumors" Indian J Clin Biochem 24(3):266-8 (2009) doi: 10.1007/s12291-009-0050-x

"This area of endemic fluorosis has a high incidence of subclinical hypothyroidism (2-10%). This geographical area has also a very high incidence of breast cancer (16.2%). The drinking water level of fluoride is 5.2 ppm in this area."

"We observed small but relevant up-regulation of the estrogen receptor as a consequence of exposures to 6:2 FTOH or 8:2 FTOH. The latter finding suggests an alternative mode of action of the fluorotelomer alcohols compared with that of E2. This study clearly underlines the need for future in vivo testing for specific endocrine-related end points."

"Two estrogen receptors (ER), ERα and G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), mediated the promoting effects of PFOA by activating MAPK/Erk and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. These pathways were regulated by ERα and GPER in MCF-7 cells or independently by GPER in MDA-MB-231 cells. Overall, our study provides a better overview of the mechanisms associated with PFASs-induced breast cancer development and progression."

The best model of MDR analysis with maximized testing accuracy involved two SNPs from the ESR1 gene (rs9340799 and rs2077647) and one SNP from BGLAP gene (rs1543294) (P value < 0.0001).

"Exposures to specific PFAS components were positively associated with an increased incidence risk of breast cancer...Random forests showed that PFBA, PFOS, PFHxS, and PFDA emerged as predominant factors potentially influencing breast cancer incidence....Our findings suggest a strong association between PFAS exposure and the incidence of breast cancer. Premenopausal women should exercise more caution regarding PFAS exposure."
