Sakabanaketa digitalaren garaian, ikasleen idazkien zuzenketak beharrezkoa bezain astuna izaten jarraitzen du, bai eta konplexuagoa, teknikoagoa askotarikoagoa ere. Online programa espezifikoak erabiltzen ditugu, hiztegiak itzultzaile automatikoak kontsultatzen ditugu; eta, horrez gain, beste egile batzuekin ere lankidetzan aritzen gara edo Wikipediatik “kopiatu itsatsi” egiten dugu.

New World primates (NWPs) exhibit a compensated form of resistance to gonadal steroid hormones. We demonstrated recently that estrogen resistance in NWP cells was associated with the overexpression of two proteins, a nonreceptor-related, dominant-negative-acting estrogen response element (ERE)-binding protein (ERE-BP) and an intracellular estradiol-binding protein (IEBP). Based on the N-termina...

The role of heat-shock protein 90 (hsp90) in the regulation of the oestrogen receptor (ER) function is less well understood than for other steroid-hormone receptors because hsp90 is not involved in the stabilization or induction of a high-affinity ligand-binding state of ER nor in the inhibition of receptor dimerization. Electrophoretic mobility-shift assays, using purified ER and hsp90, were e...

The effects of E2 on the high-density lipoprotein receptor (HDL-R) scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) gene were examined. Four putative estrogen response element half-site motifs (ERE(1/2)) (-2176, -1726, -1622, and -1211, designated ERE(1/2)-1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively) were identified in the HDL-R SR-BI promoter. Transfection studies and mutation analysis demonstrated that E2 signific...

Specific binding of estradiol-liganded, partially purified calf uterine estrogen receptor (ER) to a 38-base pair estrogen responsive element (ERE) consensus sequence, containing the inverted repeat 5'-GGTCAnnnTGACC-3', was measured in vitro. The ERE sites were inserted as single or multiple tandem copies in a plasmid vector [p GEM-7Zf(+)]. Results showed that one dimeric ER can interact with on...

During the female reproductive cycle, the neuroendocrine action of estradiol switches from negative feedback to positive feedback to initiate the preovulatory GnRH and subsequent LH surges. Estrogen receptor-alpha (ERalpha) is required for both estradiol negative and positive feedback regulation of LH. ERalpha may signal through estrogen response elements (EREs) in DNA and/or via ERE-independen...

Oestrogens influence the pathology and development of hormone-sensitive breast cancers. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) has been shown to be associated with breast cancer pathogenesis. Recently, we found TFPI mRNA levels to be significantly reduced by oestrogens in a breast cancer cell line (MCF7), a process mediated through the oestrogen receptor alpha (ERα). The aim of the present stud...

Estrogen (E2) signaling is conveyed by the transcription factors estrogen receptor (ER) alpha and beta. ERs modulate the expression of genes involved in cellular proliferation, motility, and death. The regulation of transcription by E2-ERalpha through binding to estrogen-responsive elements (EREs) in DNA constitutes the ERE-dependent signaling pathway. E2-ERalpha also modulates gene expression ...
