Expression of Estrogen Receptor Alpha in Malignant Melanoma
Background: Features of malignant melanoma (MM) vary in the different geographic regions of the world. This may be attributable to environmental, ethnic, and genetic factors.

Positive Regulation of Estrogen Receptor Alpha in Breast Tumorigenesis [PDF]
Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα, NR3A1) contributes through its expression in different tissues to a spectrum of physiological processes, including reproductive system development and physiology, bone mass maintenance, as well as cardiovascular and central ...

Autocrine regulation of cell proliferation by estrogen receptor-alpha in estrogen receptor-alpha-positive breast cancer cell lines [PDF]
Background Estrogen receptor-α (ERα) is essential for mammary gland development and is a major oncogene in breast cancer. Since ERα is not colocalized with the cell proliferation marker Ki-67 in the normal mammary glands and the majority of primary ...

Estrogen receptor transcription and transactivation Estrogen receptor alpha and estrogen receptor beta: regulation by selective estrogen receptor modulators and importance in breast cancer [PDF]
Estrogens display intriguing tissue-selective action that is of great biomedical importance in the development of optimal therapeutics for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer, for menopausal hormone replacement, and for fertility regulation. Certain compounds that act through the estrogen receptor (ER), now referred to as selective estrogen ...

Interaction of Phytoestrogens with Estrogen Receptors .ALPHA. and .BETA..
We investigated the estrogenic activities of isoflavone derivatives in competition binding assays with human estrogen receptor (hER) alpha or hER beta protein, and in a gene expression assay using a yeast system. Coumestrol binds as strongly as 17beta-estradiol to both hERs.

Down but not out? A novel protein isoform of the estrogen receptor alpha is expressed in the estrogen receptor alpha knockout mouse [PDF]
The mouse knockout of the estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) gene, known as alphaERKO, has been extensively used for several years to study the role and function of ERalpha. Residual estradiol binding capacity in uterine tissue of 5-10% raised doubts if this knockout is a genuine null mutation of ERalpha.

Age-related impaired wounds represent a major health burden resulting in considerable morbidity and mortality in the elderly. When injury occurs, monocytes migrate to the damaged site and undergo differentiation into tissue-resident macrophages, which ...

Estrogen receptors alpha and beta in bone [PDF]
Estrogens are important for bone metabolism via a variety of mechanisms in osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts, immune cells and other cells to maintain bone mineral density. Estrogens bind to estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and ERβ, and the roles of each of these receptors are beginning to be elucidated through whole body and tissue-specific knockouts ...

The role of calcium in the activation of estrogen receptor-alpha. [PDF]
Abstract Environmental estrogen mimics, including metalloestrogens that can activate estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα), may contribute to breast cancer risk. However, the underlying mechanisms through which these molecular mimics activate the ERα are generally poorly understood.

The origins of estrogen receptor alpha-positive and estrogen receptor alpha-negative human breast cancer [PDF]
Current hormonal therapies have benefited millions of patients with breast cancer. Their success, however, is often temporary and limited to a subset of patients whose tumors express estrogen receptor alpha (ER). The therapies are entirely ineffective in ER-negative disease. Recent studies suggest that there are many biological pathways and alterations
