Estrogen receptor target gene: an evolving concept.
Estrogen receptor (ER) functions as a transcription factor to induce gene expression events sufficient for cell division and breast cancer progression. A significant body of work exists on the identification of ER gene targets and the cofactors that contribute to these transcription events, yet surprisingly little is known of the cis-regulatory elements involved. In this review, we investigate ...
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 کاملEstrogen receptor gene 1 expression in caprine and its effect on fertility
The present study was undertaken to analyze the expression pattern of estrogen receptor 1 gene (ESR1) in Barbari bucks (fertile and non-fertile) identified on the basis of seminal quality traits and fertility trials. RNA was extracted from the spleen by Trizol method. The expression pattern of ESR1 gene was analyzed using real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The expression pattern of E...
متن کاملLiver receptor homolog 1 is essential for ovulation.
Female fertility requires normal ovarian follicular growth and ovulation. The nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 has been implicated in processes as diverse as bile acid metabolism, steroidogenesis, and cell proliferation. In the ovary, Lrh1 is expressed exclusively in granulosa and luteal cells. Using somatic targeted mutagenesis, we show that mice lacking Lrh1 in granulosa cells are st...
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. ...
