GPER: An Estrogen Receptor Key in Metastasis and Tumoral Microenvironments

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Estrogens and their role in cancer are well-studied, and some cancer types are classified in terms of their response to them. In recent years, a G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) has been described with relevance in cancer. GPER is a pleiotropic receptor with tissue-specific activity; in normal tissues, its activation is related to correct ...

GPER deletion triggers inhibitory effects in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells through the JNK/c-Jun/p53/Noxa transduction pathway

open access: yesCell Death Discovery, 2023
The G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) mediates estrogen action in different pathophysiological conditions, including cancer. GPER expression and signaling have been found to join in the progression of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), even ...

17,β-estradiol inhibits hepatitis C virus mainly by interference with the release phase of its life cycle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Rationale & Aim: Estrogen and estrogen-mediated signalling protect from hepatitis C virus through incompletely understood mechanisms. We aimed to ascertain which phase(s) of HCV life cycle is/are affected by estrogens.

The Androgen Receptor Promotes Cellular Proliferation by Suppression of G-Protein Coupled Estrogen Receptor Signaling in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Background/Aims: The targeted therapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is still challenging due to poor understanding on its molecular etiology.

Estrogens promote misfolded proinsulin degradation to protect insulin production and delay diabetes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Summary: Conjugated estrogens (CE) delay the onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in postmenopausal women, but the mechanism is unclear. In T2D, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) fails to promote proinsulin folding and, in failing to do so, promotes ER stress and

GPER was associated with hypertension in post-menopausal women

open access: yesOpen Medicine, 2018
Abstract Objective To explore the relationship between G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) and hypertension in post-menopausal women. Methods Using a matched case-control design, clinical and laboratory data were collected ...

Sex-specific epigenetics drive low GPER expression in gastrointestinal smooth muscles in type 2 diabetic mice

open access: yesScientific Reports
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) causes gastroparesis, delayed intestinal transit, and constipation, for unknown reasons. Complications are predominant in women than men (particularly pregnant and postmenopausal women), suggesting a female hormone-mediated

Evaluation of estrogen and G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER) levels in drug-naïve patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

open access: yesBiomolecules & Biomedicine, 2018
Estrogen has a crucial role in the regulation of reproductive and neuroendocrine function and exerts its effects through two classes of receptors, nuclear and membrane estrogen receptors (mERs).

Understanding mixing efficiency in the oceans: Do the nonlinearities of the equation of state matter?

open access: yes, 2009
There exist two central measures of turbulent mixing in turbulent stratified fluids, both caused by molecular diffusion: 1) the dissipation rate D(APE) of available potential energy (APE); 2) the turbulent rate of change Wr,turbulent of background ...

Quantitative proteomic analysis reveals different characteristics of bladder cancer cells after exposure to bisphenol A

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Bisphenol A (BPA), a common chemical in plastics, exerts dual effects on bladder cancer cells: low doses promote growth and migration, while high doses suppress growth and migration. Multi‐omics and bioinformatics reveal BPA acts via MAPK and inflammatory pathways.
