Identification of pharmacophore synergism for optimization of estrogen receptor beta binders for hormone dependent forms of breast cancer

Chemical Physics Impact
Certain forms of breast cancer, particularly influenced by estrogen hormone, prompt the investigation of estrogen receptors as potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

Selenium‐Based Nanoplatforms: An Emerging Theranostic Paradigm for Gynecological Cancers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This reivew summarizes Selenium as a multifunctional anticancer regulator in gynecological cancers. It reduces tumor risk, enhances therapeutic efficacy, and reduces treatment toxicity. Selenium also overcomes chemoraditherapy resistance, improving overall treatment outcomes. ABSTRACT Gynecological cancers present significant therapeutic challenges due

Pancreatic insulin content regulation by the estrogen receptor ER alpha.

PLoS ONE, 2008
The function of pancreatic beta-cells is the synthesis and release of insulin, the main hormone involved in blood glucose homeostasis. Estrogen receptors, ER alpha and ER beta, are important molecules involved in glucose metabolism, yet their role in ...

Pituitary Action of E2 in Prepubertal Grass Carp: Receptor Specificity and Signal Transduction for Luteinizing Hormone and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Regulation

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
17β-estradiol (E2) is an important sex steroid produced by ovary and brain. In mammals, E2 plays an important role in hypothalamus–pituitary–gonad axis to regulate puberty onset, however, little is known about the functional role of E2 in teleost ...

CK2α Deficiency Drives Myocardial Fibrosis via Desmin‐Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CK2α preserves mitochondrial homeostasis by phosphorylating Desmin to recruit Cryab, ensuring proper filament assembly. CK2α deficiency disrupts this interaction, causing mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic shifts, bioenergetic failure, and oxidative stress—ultimately establishing a pro‐fibrotic environment that drives cardiac fibrosis.

17α-Ethynyl-5α-androstane-3α, 17β-diol Treatment of MNU-Induced Mammary Cancer in Rats

International Journal of Breast Cancer, 2011
N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) induces estrogen-dependent mammary tumors in female Lewis rats. We explored the antineoplastic activity of a synthetic androstane derivative, 17α-ethynyl-5α-androstane-3α, 17β-diol (HE3235), as a single agent or in ...

Quantitative proteomics identifies clusterin as a novel biomarker for atherosclerosis

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This schematic illustrates the proposed mechanism. In advanced atherosclerotic lesions, upregulated CLU on the cell surface activates low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor‐related protein 1 (LRP1). This interaction triggers the phosphorylation and activation of AKT.

Compression suture: A method for simulating intervertebral disc degeneration in rats induced by excessive loading

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the compression suture group, a 5‐mm‐wide tail skin was removed, and then the defect was sutured to apply compressive force to the intervertebral disc. In the sham group, only the 5‐mm‐wide tail skin was removed without a compression suture. Compression suturing triggers apoptosis, inflammatory response, and imbalance of extracellular matrix ...

Age and gender effects on echocardiographic and histopathological cardiac phenotypes in healthy adult mice

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study investigated the impact of age and sex on cardiac phenotypes in healthy adult C57BL/6J mice using echocardiography and histopathological analyses. Findings revealed that female mice demonstrated more pronounced global cardiac chamber dilation during aging.

Identification of the estrogen receptor GPER in neoplastic and non-neoplastic human testes

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2011
Background Estrogen signaling is mediated by estrogen receptor beta isoforms in normal and neoplastic human testes. Recently, a G-protein-coupled-receptor (GPER) has been suggested as being involved in rapid responses to estrogens in different normal and
