Role of estrogen receptors in health and disease

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Estrogen receptors (ERs) regulate multiple complex physiological processes in humans. Abnormal ER signaling may result in various disorders, including reproductive system-related disorders (endometriosis, and breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer), bone ...

Estrogen and inflammation modulate estrogen receptor alpha expression in specific tissues of the temporomandibular joint

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2009
Background Estrogen is known to play role in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and estrogen effects can be mediated by estrogen receptor (ER) alpha present in the TMJ.

Dopamine agonist and tamoxifen combination therapy for a prolactin-secreting pituitary tumor resistant to dopamine agonist monotherapy: Case report and review

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2020
Background: The majority of prolactin-secreting pituitary macroadenomas are effectively managed with dopamine-agonist therapy alone. Although surgical resection and radiotherapy are second- and third-line treatment options, there remains a paucity of ...

The microbiome in human skin aging

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Detection of estrogen receptors ER-alpha and ER-beta in human ejaculated immature spermatozoa with excess residual cytoplasm

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2006
Background A key role of estrogens in human sperm biology has been recently suggested by aromatase and estrogen receptor detection in human testicular germ cells and ejaculated spermatozoa.

Estrogen receptor beta--a new dimension in estrogen mechanism of action [PDF]

Journal of Endocrinology, 1999
The cloning of estrogen receptor (ER ) has provided the first example of a steroid hormone receptor existing as two isoforms, each of which is encoded by a separate gene (Kuiper et al. 1996). The finding of ER was met with great surprise, as the existence of more than one estrogen receptor had been actively denied for several decades. Attempts to clone

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

Oncogenic DMTF1β promotes cancer cell motility by regulating autophagy through ULK1 stabilization

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In the current study, we demonstrate that the oncogene DMTF1β regulates ULK1 stability by reducing its proteasomal degradation in cancer cells. This stabilization enables ULK1 to induce autophagy, which in turn facilitates cancer cell migration. Consequently, reduced DMTF1β levels lead to decreased autophagy and impaired cancer cell migration.

Expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors in astrocytomas: a literature review

Clinics
Gliomas are the most common type of primary central nervous system neoplasm. Astrocytomas are the most prevalent type of glioma and these tumors may be influenced by sex steroid hormones.
