SULT2B1 is responsible for the oxysterol sulfation by providing catalyzing enzyme. The present study investigated the role of SULT2B1 in the carcinogenesis and development of hepatocellular carcinoma. The results indicated that the expression of SULT2B1 in hepatocarcinomal cells was higher than that of normal cells. Overexpression of SULT2B1 by Ad-SULT2B1 promoted the cells growth, while SULT2B1-RNAi-LV apparently inhibited growth of the Hepa1-6 cells and suppressed tumorigenesis in subcutaneous xenograft model. Knockdown of SULT2B1 induced cell apoptosis and arrested cell cycles in G2/M by upregulation of FAS, p-JNK，and downregulation of bcl-2、c-myc and cyclin B1. Knockdown of SULT2B1 also inhibited the hepa1-6 cell migration and invasion capability and its TCM on bEND.3 cell proliferation in vitro. We also observed that the mRNA levels of SULT2B1 could be upregulated by proinflamatory factors, such as LPS，TNF-alpha and palmitic acid. SULT1E1 and PAPSS (PAPSS1 and PAPSS2) are responsible for the estrogen sulfation by providing catalyzing enzyme and universal sulfate donor. By tissue array analysis and the assessment of clinical samples，the estrogen sulfation enzymes were comparatively higher in the tumorous tissues than their adjacent normal tissues. SULT1E1 overexpression inhibited the tumorigenesis in subcutaneous xenograft model. By CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry assay, overexpression of SULT1E1 and PAPSS1 by adenovirus blocked the estrogen pro-proliferating effect and promoted cell apoptosis induced by H2O2 in MCF-7 cells. By Real-time RT-PCR and Western-blot assays, overexpression of SULT1E1 and PAPSS1 suppressed cell growth and triggered apoptosis by downregulating the levels of c-myc, cyclin D1 and bcl-2, meanwhile, upregulating bax expression. Overexpression of SULT1E1 and PAPSS1 retarded MCF-7 cells growth in vivo and in vitro by arresting cell cycles and inducing apoptosis. Thus, targeting SULT1E1 and PAPSS expressions might be an important approach for estrogen-dependent cancers. SULT1E1 expression was high in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) . Expressions of pro-inflammation genes (TNF-α ，IL-6，Fas ) and lipid metabolism related genes (ApoB, CD36,ABCA1 and FAS)were downregulated, anti-inflammation gene IL-4 was upregulated significantly by SUTL1E1 RNAsi; Meanwhile ,transcriptional factor PPARγ was increased by interference of SULT1E1 ; PPARγ RNAsi reversed SULT1E1 regulation on target genes by interference of SULT1E1 and PPARγ expression simultaneously; SULT1E1 regulations were still exist in the absence of exogenous estrogen with charcoal stripped serums.
