Estrogen receptor beta expression in prostate adenocarcinoma
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer death in men. Estrogen induction of cell proliferation is a crucial step in carcinogenesis of gynecologic target tissues, and there are many studies recently done, showing that prostate cancer growth is also influenced by estrogen. The characterization of estrogen receptor beta (ER-b) ...
متن کاملEstrogen Receptor Beta Expression in Melanomas Versus Dysplastic Nevi
Dear Editor-in-ChiefMalignant melanoma is a tumor arising from melanocyte; this tumor rarely occurs before puberty, with higher mortality rate in males and better survival rate in female patients affected by metastatic melanoma (1, 2). These facts propose that a relationship and association may exist between estrogens and melanoma. The effects of estrogens are mediated by...
متن کاملA comparative study of estrogen receptor beta expression in melanoma and benign melanocytic lesions
Background: Malignant melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer. In contrast to other tumors, the role of estrogen in the initiation and progression of melanoma remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate estrogen receptor beta protein expression in human melanoma tissues and in the benign melanocytic lesions. Method: Twenty-one patients, 11 with cutaneous melanoma and 10 w...
متن کاملPutative functional characteristics of human estrogen receptor-beta isoforms.
Estrogen receptors (ERalpha and ERbeta) are clearly multifaceted in terms of structure and function. Several relatively abundant ERbeta isoforms have been identified, which can be differentially expressed in various tIssues. In order to provide insight into the possible role of the ERbeta family in breast tIssue a study of the putative functions of the human (h) ERbeta1, hERbeta2 and hERbeta5 i...
متن کاملExpression of wild-type estrogen receptor beta and variant isoforms in human breast cancer.
It has been shown in previous studies that a variety of estrogen receptor (ER) beta mRNA transcripts are expressed in human breast cancer cell lines and tumors. To complement the RNA expression studies, we have developed ER-beta-specific antibodies to characterize ER-beta protein expression in breast cancer cell lines and tumors. Monoclonal antibodies were made against a peptide representing th...
