Function of estrogen receptor (ER) in gene expression.
Estrogen (E2) plays significant roles in ligand target organs such as the reproductive organs, bone and the brain. This female steroid hormone is well known also to be deeply involved in cancer development in the reproductive organs. The majority of E2 actions are mediated through its nuclear estrogen receptor (ER). ERa and ER~ are members of the steroid/thyroid hormone nuclear receptor superfa...
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 کاملTwo Estrogen Receptor (ER) Isoforms with Different Estrogen Dependencies Are Generated from the Trout ER Gene*
A characteristic of all estrogen receptors (ER) cloned from fish to date is the lack of the first 37–42 N-terminal amino acids specific to the A domain. Here we report the isolation and characterization from trout ovary of a full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) clone encoding an N-terminal variant form of the rainbow trout ER (rtER). Sequence analysis of open reading frame of this cDNA predicts...
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 کاملEstrogen Receptor Gene Expression Receptor-negative Breast Cancer Cells Can Reactivate Demethylation of the Estrogen Receptor Gene in Estrogen
Approximately one third of breast cancers grow independently of estrogen, lack detectable estrogen receptor (ER) protein, and rarely re spond to hormonal treatment. Previous studies correlated the lack of ER gene expression in ER-negative breast tumor cells with hypermethylation of a CpG island in the 5' region of the ER gene. In order to determine whether demethylation of the ER gene in the ER...
