LRH-1 mitigates intestinal inflammatory disease by maintaining epithelial homeostasis and cell survival. [PDF]
, 2018 Epithelial dysfunction and crypt destruction are defining features of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, current IBD therapies targeting epithelial dysfunction are lacking.

Drosophila motor neuron retraction during metamorphosis is mediated by inputs from TGF-β/BMP signaling and orphan nuclear receptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Larval motor neurons remodel during Drosophila neuro-muscular junction dismantling at metamorphosis. In this study, we describe the motor neuron retraction as opposed to degeneration based on the early disappearance of β-Spectrin and the continuing ...

Trichoplax, the simplest known animal, contains an estrogen-related receptor: Implications for the evolution of vertebrate and invertebrate estrogen receptors [PDF]
, 2008 Although, as their names imply, vertebrate and invertebrate estrogen receptors [ERs] and estrogen-related receptors [ERRs] are related transcription factors, their evolutionary relationships to each other are not fully understood.

ROR-γ drives androgen receptor expression and represents a therapeutic target in castration-resistant prostate cancer. [PDF]
, 2016 The androgen receptor (AR) is overexpressed and hyperactivated in human castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, the determinants of AR overexpression in CRPC are poorly defined.

Scientific Reports, 2022 Estrogen related receptors are orphan members of the nuclear receptor superfamily acting as transcription factors (TFs). In contrast to classical nuclear receptors, the activities of the ERRs are not controlled by a natural ligand.

Orphan Nuclear Receptors in Colorectal Cancer
Pathology & Oncology Research, 2018 Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with an overall increased incidence annually. Despite improvements in treatment and surveillance, almost 50% develop recurrent and/or distant disease. Unknown cellular processes are the fundamental cause for treatment failure and metastatic disease. The interplay of chronic inflammation and

Embryonic and post-embryonic utilization and subcellular localization of the nuclear receptor SpSHR2 in the sea urchin [PDF]
, 1998 SpSHR2 (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus steroid hormone receptor 2) is a nuclear receptor, encoded by a maternal RNA in the sea urchin embryo. These maternal SpSHR2 transcripts, which are present in all cells, persist until the blastula stage and then are ...

3D model of amphioxus steroid receptor complexed with estradiol [PDF]
, 2009 The origins of signaling by vertebrate steroids are not fully understood. An important advance was the report that an estrogen-binding steroid receptor [SR] is present in amphioxus, a basal chordate with a similar body plan as vertebrates.
