Requirement of estrogen receptor alpha DNA-binding domain for HPV oncogene-induced cervical carcinogenesis in mice.
Cervical cancer is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) in collaboration with other non-viral factors. The uterine cervix is hormone responsive and female hormones have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the disease. HPV transgenic mice expressing HPV16 oncogenes E6 (K14E6) and/or E7 (K14E7) have been employed to study a mechanism of estrogen and estrogen receptor α (ERα) in cervical carcin...
متن کاملOverexpression of Endometrial Estrogen Receptor-Alpha in The Window of Implantation in Women with Unexplained Infertility
Objective Background: Failure in the endometrial receptivity may account for a significant number of infertility cases including unexplained infertility in women. Reduction in the endometrial estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-α) expression during window of implantation may be a critical event that coincides with expression of specific genes and providing a receptive endometrium. The aim of present st...
متن کاملRole of Estrogen Receptor-Alpha in an Experimental Model of Bronchial Asthma
Background: Use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may increase the risk of adult-onset asthma in women. Various in vitro studies have reported that estradiol stimulates human mast cell lines causing release of allergic mediators which was not observed in estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha) knockout mice. Thus, estrogen might be a key element in occurrence of asthma. In the present study, we p...
متن کاملMolecular transitions from papillomavirus infection to cervical precancer and cancer: Role of stromal estrogen receptor signaling.
To study the multistep process of cervical cancer development, we analyzed 128 frozen cervical samples spanning normalcy, increasingly severe cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1- CIN3), and cervical cancer (CxCa) from multiple perspectives, revealing a cascade of progressive changes. Compared with normal tissue, expression of many DNA replication/repair and cell proliferation genes was inc...
متن کاملpromoter hypermethylation of estrogen receptor alpha gene is correlated to estrogen receptor negativity in iranian patients with sporadic breast cancer
objective: breast cancer is the most common cancer in iranian women. breast tumors are classified based on the estrogen receptor alpha (erα) expression status into er negative and er positive tumors. er negative tumors tend to have worse prognosis and less likely to respond to endocrine therapy. aberrant methylation of gene promoter is one of the mechanisms for gene silencing in breast tumors. ...
