Nuclear receptor liver receptor homologue 1 (LRH-1) regulates pancreatic cancer cell growth and proliferation.
An essential regulator of gene transcription, nuclear receptor liver receptor homologue 1 (LRH-1) controls cell differentiation in the developing pancreas and maintains cholesterol homeostasis in adults. Recent genome-wide association studies linked mutations in the LRH-1 gene and its up-stream regulatory regions to development of pancreatic cancer. In this work, we show that LRH-1 transcriptio...
متن کاملLiver receptor homologue-1 (LRH-1) regulates expression of aromatase in preadipocytes.
Estrogen biosynthesis from C(19) steroids is catalyzed by aromatase cytochrome P450. Aromatase is expressed in breast adipose tissue through the use of a distal, cytokine-responsive promoter (promoter I.4). Breast tumors, however, secrete soluble factors that stimulate aromatase expression through an alternative proximal promoter, promoter II. In other estrogenic tissues such as ovaries, transc...
متن کاملThe Orphan Nuclear Receptor Liver Homolog Receptor-1 (Nr5a2) Regulates Ovarian Granulosa Cell Proliferation
In mouse ovaries, liver receptor homolog-1 [nuclear receptor subfamily 5, group A, member 2 (Nr5a2)] expression is restricted to granulosa cells. Mice with Nr5a2 depletion in this cell population fail to ovulate. To determine whether Nr5a2 is essential for granulosa cell proliferation during follicular maturation, we generated granulosa-specific conditional knockout mice (genotype Nr5a2 floxed ...
متن کاملReversible infertility in a liver receptor homologue-1 (LRH-1)-knockdown mouse model.
Liver receptor homologue-1 (LRH-1) is an orphan nuclear receptor that has been implicated in steroid hormone biosynthesis and fertility. Herein we describe a transgenic inducible short hairpin (sh) RNA mouse model that was used to study the effect of transient LRH-1 knockdown in vivo. Induction of expression of the shRNA directed against LRH-1 for 2-6 weeks resulted in 80% knockdown of LRH-1 pr...
متن کاملThe Orphan Nuclear Receptor LRH-1 and ERα Activate GREB1 Expression to Induce Breast Cancer Cell Proliferation
BACKGROUND Liver Receptor Homolog 1 (LRH-1, NR5A2) is an orphan nuclear receptor that is over-expressed in cancers in tissues such as the breast, colon and pancreas. LRH-1 plays important roles in embryonic development, steroidogenesis and cholesterol homeostasis. In tumor cells, LRH-1 induces proliferation and cell cycle progression. High LRH-1 expression is demonstrated in breast cancers, pos...
