A role for estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) in collagen biosynthesis in mouse skin
Hormonal regulation of the dermal collagenous extracellular matrix has a key role in maintaining proper tissue homeostasis. However, the factors and pathways involved in this process are not fully defined. This study investigated the role of estrogen receptors (ERs) in the regulation of collagen biosynthesis in mice lacking either ERα or ERβ. Collagen content was significantly increased in the ...
متن کاملPotential Role of Estrogen Receptor Beta as a Tumor Suppressor of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is the gynecological cancer exhibiting the highest morbidity and improvement of treatments is still required. Previous studies have shown that Estrogen-receptor beta (ERβ) levels decreased along with ovarian carcinogenesis. Here, we present evidence that reintroduction of ERβ in BG-1 epithelial ovarian cancer cells, which express ERα, leads in vitro to a decrease of basal and est...
متن کاملMetabolic Actions of Estrogen Receptor Beta (ERβ) are Mediated by a Negative Cross-Talk with PPARγ
Estrogen receptors (ER) are important regulators of metabolic diseases such as obesity and insulin resistance (IR). While ERalpha seems to have a protective role in such diseases, the function of ERbeta is not clear. To characterize the metabolic function of ERbeta, we investigated its molecular interaction with a master regulator of insulin signaling/glucose metabolism, the PPARgamma, in vitro...
متن کاملTargeting estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) for treatment of ovarian cancer: importance of KDM6B and SIRT1 for ERβ expression and functionality
Estrogen receptor (ER) β has growth inhibitory and chemo drug potentiating effect on ovarian cancer cells. We studied the dependence of ERβ function on the presence of KDM6B and SIRT1 in human ovarian cancer cells in vitro. Activation of ERβ with the subtype-selective agonist KB9520 resulted in significant inhibition of human ovarian cancer cell growth. KB9520-activated ERβ had an additive effe...
متن کاملIntracellular lactate-mediated induction of estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) in biphasic malignant pleural mesothelioma cells
Biphasic malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is the second most common histotype of MPM. It is histologically characterized by the concomitant presence of epithelioid and sarcomatoid features, the latter associated with worse prognosis. In this report we describe that silencing of AKT1 in spindle-shaped biphasic MPM cells promotes the shift toward an epithelioid phenotype. Furthermore, AKT1 si...
