Susceptibility to early atherosclerosis in male mice is mediated by estrogen receptor alpha.
OBJECTIVE Vascular tissues express 2 types of estrogen receptors (ERs): ERalpha and ERbeta. Their role in early atherosclerosis remains poorly understood, particularly in males. We developed and characterized an atherosclerosis model in ERalpha knockout male mice to investigate directly its role in atheroma. METHODS AND RESULTS Cholesterol-fed ERalpha knockout and wild-type mice developed ear...
متن کاملP-238: Lack of Association of Estrogen Receptor Polymorphisms with Male Infertility
Background: Estrogen is recognized as one of the significant regulator of spermatogenesis. Estrogens are synthesized in the male reproductive system (sertoli and leydig cells). Estrogen function is mediated by estrogen receptors (ER-α or ER-β). Some studies have suggested an association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2234693 (ESR1 pvuII C>T), rs1801132 (ESR1 325 C->G) of ERα g...
متن کاملTestosterone-derived estradiol production by male endothelium is robust and dependent on p450 aromatase via estrogen receptor alpha
Vascular endothelium expresses both the estrogen receptors (ERs) α and β, and ERα mediates development of early atherosclerosis in male mice. This process is thought to be testosterone-dependent. We hypothesized that male murine aortic endothelium produces robust levels of estradiol by aromatase conversion of testosterone, and that regulation of this process is mediated by the presence of ERs, ...
متن کاملEstrogen Receptor Beta Expression in Melanomas Versus Dysplastic Nevi
Dear Editor-in-ChiefMalignant melanoma is a tumor arising from melanocyte; this tumor rarely occurs before puberty, with higher mortality rate in males and better survival rate in female patients affected by metastatic melanoma (1, 2). These facts propose that a relationship and association may exist between estrogens and melanoma. The effects of estrogens are mediated by...
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 ...
