Thyroid Hormone Receptor Coregulators in Metabolic Regulation
It has been known for a long time that thyroid hormone regulates metabolism. Thyroid hormone action is primarily mediated by Thyroid Hormone Receptors (TRs). The transcriptional regulation by TRs is modulated by coregulators including coactivators and corepressors. Emerging evidence suggested that coregulators are critical for metabolic regulation mediated by TR. This review describes recent in...
متن کاملRole of steroid hormone coregulators in health and disease.
The involvement of coactivators and corepressors, collectively termed as coregulators, increases the complexity of regulation of steroid hormone action. Following the interaction of the steroid hormone-receptor complex with the specific nucleotide sequences of target genes, the coregulators are recruited for activation or suppression of specific genes. The coregulators regulate a number of horm...
متن کاملNuclear hormone receptor coregulators in action: diversity for shared tasks.
The nuclear hormone receptors are transcriptional regulators that activate gene expression upon binding of their respective ligands. A new class of protein, termed coregulators, has emerged during the last few years. These proteins have the faculty to repress (corepressors) or to enhance (coactivators) the activity of genes regulated by nuclear hormone receptors in a ligand-dependent fashion. I...
متن کاملmRNA expression of steroidogenic enzymes, steroid hormone receptors and their coregulators in gastric cancer
Epidemiological and experimental findings suggest that the development of gastric cancer (GC) is regulated by steroid hormones. In postmenopausal women and older men, the majority of steroid hormones are produced locally in peripheral tissue through the enzymatic conversion of steroid precursors. Therefore, using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis, the mRNA ex...
متن کاملRole of steroid receptor and coregulator mutations in hormone-dependent cancers.
Steroid hormones mediate critical lineage-specific developmental and physiologic responses. They function by binding their cognate receptors, which are transcription factors that drive specific gene expression programs. The requirement of most prostate cancers for androgen and most breast cancers for estrogen has led to the development of endocrine therapies that block the action of these hormo...
