Molecular mechanism of estrogen–estrogen receptor signaling
17β-Estradiol (E2), as the main circulating estrogen hormone, regulates many tissue and organ functions in physiology. The effects of E2 on cells are mediated by the transcription factors and estrogen receptor (ER)α and ERβ that are encoded by distinct genes. Localized at the peri-membrane, mitochondria, and the nucleus of cells that are dependent on estrogen target tissues, the ERs share simil...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanism of interactions between Estrogen Receptor and Estrogen Receptor Selective Genotoxins
Although one million new breast cancer cases arise each year worldwide, therapies to treat the disease are limited. Conventional treatments including the chemotherapeutic agent, Tamoxifen, have had only limited success, often showing uncomfortable side effects. Our group has proposed a new scheme for a rational drug design. This scheme utilizes recent findings on the mechanism of cisplatin, the...
متن کاملInhibition of Proliferation and Estrogen Receptor Signaling
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) is an important signaling molecule in cells of mesenchymal origin, inducing differentiation and regulating cell proliferation in several cell types such as vascular smooth muscle cells. Leiomyomas arise from smooth muscle cells of the uterine myometrium with an incidence rate as high as 70% in women of reproductive age. PPAR signaling has not be...
متن کاملSignificance of microRNA targeted estrogen receptor in male fertility
Objective(s): Estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα) mediates estrogen action in regulation of different levels of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testis axis. It has a key role in spermatogenesis. Estrogen receptor alpha knock-out (ER koα) male mice were infertile and severe impairment in spermatogenesis and seminiferous tubules was observed. Recently, it has been reported that microRNA (miRNA) mir-100 and ...
متن کاملMolecular and Physiological Roles of Estrogen Receptor
Estrogen receptor (ER) has been shown to be involved in several cellular and metabolic pathways. In this study, we reviewed the literature for molecular and physiological roles of estrogen receptor in normal and pathological conditions. We discussed the expression of estrogen receptor in several tissues as well as the potential of using ERb agonists in treating proliferative hematological disor...
