Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol targeting estrogen receptor signaling: the possible mechanism of action coupled with endocrine disruption.

Δ(9)-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ(9)-THC), a biologically active constituent of marijuana, possesses a wide variety of pharmacological and toxicological effects (e.g., analgesia, hypotension, reduction of inflammation, and anti-cancer effects). Among Δ(9)-THC's biological activities, its recognized anti-estrogenic activity has been the subject of investigations. Since Δ(9)-THC is used as both a drug...

Estrogen receptor β exon 3-deleted mouse: The importance of non-ERE pathways in ERβ signaling.

In 1998, an estrogen receptor β (ERβ) knockout (KO) mouse was created by interrupting the gene at the DNA binding domain (DBD) with a neocassette. The mutant females were subfertile and there were abnormalities in the brain, prostate, lung, colon, and immune system. In 2008, another ERβ mutant mouse was generated by deleting ERβ exon 3 which encodes the first zinc finger in the DBD. The female ...

Molecular mechanism of estrogen–estrogen receptor signaling

17β-Estradiol (E2), as the main circulating estrogen hormone, regulates many tissue and organ functions in physiology. The effects of E2 on cells are mediated by the transcription factors and estrogen receptor (ER)α and ERβ that are encoded by distinct genes. Localized at the peri-membrane, mitochondria, and the nucleus of cells that are dependent on estrogen target tissues, the ERs share simil...

P-119: Melatonin Protects Folliculogenesis through Up-Regulation of Estrogen Receptors in Mouse under Treatment with Nicotine

Background: Melatonin as the major hormone produced by the pineal gland has a significant role in mammalian reproduction. In this study the efficacy of melatonin coadministration with nicotine on mouse follicogenesis was investigated. Materials and Methods: A total of 32 Female adult NMRI mice were divided into four groups. The control group (n=8) received vehicle, group 2 (n=8) received nicoti...

Rat Uterine Oxytocin Receptor and Estrogen Receptor α and β mRNA Levels are Regulated by Estrogen Through Multiple Estrogen Receptors

Estrogen action is mediated through several types of receptors (ERs), such as ERα, ERβ and putative membrane ERs. Oxytocin receptor (OTR) and ER expression levels in the rat uterus are regulated by estrogen; however, which types of ERs are involved has not been elucidated. This study examined OTR, ERα and ERβ levels in ovariectomized rats treated with 17β-estradiol (E2), an ERα agonist (PPT), a...
