Maternal regulation of estrogen receptor a methylation
Advances in molecular biology have provided tools for studying the epigenetic factors that modulate gene expression. DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that can have sustained effects on transcription and is associated with longterm gene silencing. In this review, we focus on the regulation of estrogen receptor alpha (ERa) expression by hormonal and environmental cues, the consequenc...
متن کاملRegulation of estrogen receptor α by histone methyltransferase SMYD2-mediated protein methylation.
Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) is a ligand-activated transcription factor. Upon estrogen stimulation, ERα recruits a number of coregulators, including both coactivators and corepressors, to the estrogen response elements, modulating gene activation or repression. Most coregulator complexes contain histone-modifying enzymes to control ERα target gene expression in an epigenetic manner. In additio...
متن کاملContributions of estrogen receptor-α and estrogen receptor-ß to the regulation of behavior.
Studies of the mechanisms by which estrogens influence brain function and behavior have advanced from the explication of individual hormone receptors, neural circuitry and individual gene expression. Now, we can report patterns of estrogen receptor subtype contributions to patterns of behavior. Moreover, new work demonstrates important contributions of nuclear receptor coactivator expression in...
متن کاملEstrogen receptor α can selectively repress dioxin receptor-mediated gene expression by targeting DNA methylation
Selective inhibitory crosstalk has been known to occur within the signaling pathways of the dioxin (AhR) and estrogen (ERα) receptors. More specifically, ERα represses a cytochrome P450-encoding gene (CYP1A1) that converts cellular estradiol into a metabolite that inhibits the cell cycle, while it has no effect on a P450-encoding gene (CYP1B1) that converts estrodiol into a genotoxic product. H...
متن کاملRegulation of CYP2C19 expression by estrogen receptor α: implications for estrogen-dependent inhibition of drug metabolism.
Cytochrome P4502C19 (CYP2C19) is an important drug-metabolizing enzyme involved in the biotransformation of, for example, proton pump inhibitors and antidepressants. Several in vivo studies have shown that the CYP2C19 activity is inhibited by oral contraceptives, which can cause important drug interactions. The underlying molecular mechanism has been suggested to be competitive inhibition. Howe...
