Estrogen receptor

A differential display method was used to study genes the expression of which is altered during growth inhibition induced by medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). A tran-script of G-protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) was upregulated by MPA in estrogen-treated MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Northern-blot analysis showed a progestin-specific primary target gene, which was enhanced by prog-esterone and different progestins, but not by dihydrotestos-terone or dexamethasone, and which was abrogated by antiprogestin RU486....

The estrogen receptor-related receptorc (ERRc/ERR3/ NR3B3) is an orphan member of the nuclear receptor superfamily closely related to the estrogen receptors. To explore the DNA binding characteristics, the protein–DNA interaction was studied in electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs). In vitro translated ERRc binds as a homodimer to direct repeats (DR) without spacing of the nuclear receptor half-site 5¢-AGGTCA-3¢(DR-0), to exten-dedhalf-sites, and to the inverted estrogen response element....

Gprotein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) has previously been described tobe important in steroid-mediatedgrowthand to inhibit cell proliferation. Here we investigated whether the effect of GPR30 on cell growth is dependent on steroid hormone receptors. We stably introduced GPR30 in immortalizednormalmammaryepithelial (HME) cellsusing retroviruses for gene delivery. GPR30 inhibited the growth and proliferation of the cells. They expressed glucocorticoid receptor, but not estrogen or progesterone receptor....

Estrogen is known to influence glucose homeostasis but the role of estrogen receptors in muscle glucose metabolism is unknown. Therefore, we investigated the expression of the two estrogen receptors, ERa and ERb and their influence on regulation of GLUT4, and its associated structural protein, caveolin-1, in mouse muscle. ERaand ERbare co-expressed in the nuclei of most muscle cells and their levels were not affected by absence of estradiol (in aromatase knockout, ArKO, mice).

CYP7B1, a cytochrome P450 enzyme, metabolizes several steroids involved in hormonal signaling including 5a-androstane-3b,17b-diol (3b-Adiol), an estrogen receptor agonist, and dehydroepiandrosterone, a precursor for sex hormones. Previous studies have suggested that CYP7B1-dependent metab-olism involving dehydroepiandrosterone or 3b-Adiol may play an impor-tant role for estrogen receptor b-mediated signaling.

Bisphenol A, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, is an estrogenic endocrine disruptor that influences various physiological functions at very low doses, even though bisphenol A itself is ineffectual as a ligand for the estrogen receptor.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has a protective role against epithelial-derived carcinomas; however, the mechanisms remain unknown. We deter-mined the effect of DHEA on cell proliferation, the cell cycle and cell death in three cell lines derived from human uterine cervical cancers infected or not with human papilloma virus (HPV).

Previous studies have suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs) may play important roles in tumorigenesis, but little is known about the functions of most miRNAs in cancer development. In the present study, we set up a cell-based screen using a luciferase reporter plasmid carrying the whole 4.7 kb 3¢-UTR of estrogen receptor a(ERa) mRNA cotransfected with a synthetic miRNA expression library to identify potential ERa-targeting miRNAs.

Mitochondrial biogenesis, which depends on nuclear as well as mitochon-drial genes, occurs in response to increased cellular ATP demand. The nuclear transcriptional factors, estrogen-related receptor a (ERRa) and nuclear respiratory factors 1 and 2, are associated with the coordination of the transcriptional machinery governing mitochondrial biogenesis

Transcriptional control of the progesterone receptor gene by estrogen is a complex mechanism. It involves estrogen receptora which uses several enzymes that locally modify histone tails as cofactors. Using MCF-7 cells as a model, we found that Jumonji AT-rich interactive domain 1A (JARID1A; KDM5A⁄RBP2), an enzyme that removes the activating H3K4 di- and trimethylation marks, was involved in the fine-tuning of pro-gesterone receptor gene expression.
