Targeting androgen receptor in estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer.
Endocrine therapies for breast cancer that target the estrogen receptor (ER) are ineffective in the 25%-30% of cases that are ER negative (ER-). Androgen receptor (AR) is expressed in 60%-70% of breast tumors, independent of ER status. How androgens and AR regulate breast cancer growth remains largely unknown. We find that AR is enriched in ER- breast tumors that overexpress HER2. Through analy...
متن کاملTargeting brain estrogen receptor for binge eating
Binge eating disorder (BED) is characterized by the ingestion of a large amount of food in a short period of time and the preferential choice of high palatable food. BED is the most common eating disorder, which is associated with other medical and psychiatric complications, most notably obesity and depression [1]. The effective treatment for BED is urgently needed. We adapted a recently develo...
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 ...
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 کاملβ-Lactam estrogen receptor antagonists and a dual-targeting estrogen receptor/tubulin ligand.
Twelve novel β-lactams were synthesized and their antiproliferative effects and binding affinity for the predominant isoforms of the estrogen receptor (ER), ERα and ERβ, were determined. β-Lactams 23 and 26 had the strongest binding affinities for ERα (IC50 values: 40 and 8 nM, respectively) and ERβ (IC50 values: 19 and 15 nM). β-Lactam 26 was the most potent in antiproliferative assays using M...
