Estrogens, estrogen receptors and melanoma
Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy, 2011The skin is the largest nonreproductive target tissue on which estrogen plays many beneficial and protective roles. Although neither exogenous hormones nor pregnancy represent significant risk factors for melanoma, epidemiological data suggest a higher survival rate in women with metastatic disease versus men and in premenopausal versus postmenopausal ...

The purpose of this paper is to review potential novel functional pathways by which estradiol and estrogenic compounds elicit biological responses in mammals. We will limit our approach to those novel functions suggested by phenotypes associated with estrogen receptor-alpha (ER alpha) gene mutations and polymorphisms.

Estrogen receptor (ER)3 gene expression in breast epithelium is an intricately regulated event. The human ER gene is transcribed from at least three different promoters which are expressed in a cell- and tissue-specific manner, and result in mRNA isoforms with unique 5'-untranslated exons.

Critical Reviews in Eukaryotic Gene Expression, 2002
Today we have to consider the existence of two estrogen receptors, alpha and beta, in our attempts to understand the role of estrogen receptors in physiology and pathology, and to explain the pharmacology of estrogens, antiestrogens, and SERMs. Both ERalpha and ERbeta belong to the large family of nuclear receptors that function as hormone-dependent ...

Estrogen receptor phosphorylation
Steroids, 2003Estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) is phosphorylated on multiple amino acid residues. For example, in response to estradiol binding, human ERalpha is predominately phosphorylated on Ser-118 and to a lesser extent on Ser-104 and Ser-106. In response to activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, phosphorylation occurs on Ser-118 and Ser ...

Estrogen Receptors and Anti-Estrogen Therapies
2006The realisation that breast cancer growth is regulated by the hormone estrogen led to the development of tamoxifen as the first target-directed cancer drug. Clearly, there is considerable headway to be made in further elucidating estrogen receptor function, in particular in identifying the mechanisms underlying endocrine resistance.

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1977
To the Editor.— Kiang and Kennedy (238:59-60, 1977) have presented an interesting idea that may prove to be useful in the differential diagnosis of adenocarcinomas of unknown primary site. Unfortunately, however, the evidence offered hardly appears to justify their claim that positive estrogen receptor assays can indicate that metastases arose from ...

Estrogen or estrogen receptor?
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2003View Large Image | Download PowerPoint SlideAs a clinical breast oncologist, I was eager to review Endocrine Therapy in Breast Cancer. Hormonal manipulation has been the predominant form of breast cancer treatment for >50 years. Surgical ablation, high-dose estrogens, LHRH agonists and antiestrogens have all shown clinical benefit.

Selective estrogen receptor modulators
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1999Selective estrogen receptor modulators are a growing class of nonsteroidal compounds with estrogen-like actions in bone, lipid metabolism, and antiestrogenic actions in the breast. Tamoxifen and its derivatives have a weak estrogenic action in the uterus and are responsible for endometrial hyperplasia.
