Uterine endometrial cancer (UEC) is an estrogen-related tumor. Succinate and heme metabolism play important roles in the progression of multiple tumors. However, relationship between estrogen, succinate, related regulatory mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we observed that expression aminolevulinate delta synthase 1 (ALAS1) solute carrier family member 38 (SLC25A38) UEC tissues ...

PURPOSE THE AIMS OF THIS STUDY WERE AS FOLLOW: 1) to de scribe the expression status of estrogen receptor-α and -β mRNAs in five gastric carcinoma cell lines; 2) to evaluate in vitro the effects of 17β-estradiol and estrogen receptor antagonists on the proliferation of the cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS Detection of estrogen receptor-α and estrogen receptor-β mRNA in five human gastric can...

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 ...

The present review focuses on the effect of aging flow-mediated outward remodeling (FMR) via alterations in estrogen metabolism, oxidative stress and inflammation. In ischemic disorders, ability vasculature to adapt or remodel determines quality recovery. FMR, which has a key role revascularization, is complex phenomenon that recruits endothelial smooth muscle cells as well immune system. FMR b...

The effects of cadmium on estrogen receptor and other estrogen-regulated genes in the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 were studied. Treatment of MCF-7 cells with 1 microM cadmium decreased the level of estrogen receptor 58%. Cadmium induced a parallel decrease in estrogen receptor mRNA (62%). Progesterone receptor levels increased 3.2-fold after cadmium treatment. This induction was blocked...

The ventrolateral hypothalamus in female guinea pigs includes an estrogen receptor dense region adjacent to the ventromedial hypothalamus. This region is reciprocally connected with other estrogen receptor-containing areas suggesting that steroid hormone receptor-containing cells may be directly linked. Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin, an anterograde tract tracer, was specifically placed in ...

Background: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), that affects 1-5% of couples, is a multifactorial disorder as both genetic and environmental factors are involved. The aim of this study was to determine association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located on estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) gene with the risk of RPL in a population of Iranian women; +1082G>A (rs1256049) in exon 5, +1730G>A (rs4...

Estrogen receptor (ER) signaling is a critical regulator of cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival in breast cancer (BC) other hormone-sensitive cancers. In this review, we explore the mechanism ER-dependent downstream BC role estrogens as growth factors necessary for invasion dissemination. The significance clinical implications ER BC, including potential endocrine therapies that ta...
