Estrogen Receptor β Expression Is Associated with Tamoxifen Response in ERα-N... - 0 views

  •  
    Increased survival in those with ER beta + and ER alpha -.  Early relapse was associated with lack of ER beta expression.  ER beta is transcribed from a different genomic location than ER alpha.

    ER beta expression and the ratio of ER alpha/ER beta is important in prognosis and effectiveness of SERM therapy like tamoxifen.  This study looked at the aromatase inhibitor anastrazole as well.

Estrogen receptor (ER) β, a modulator of ERα in the uterus - 0 views

  • induction of PR is an ERα-mediated event and repression of epithelial PR is ERβ mediated.
  •  
    ER alpha and ER beta have different effects on the uterus in this mice model.  ER beta modulates ER alpha.  ER beta decreases PR, whereas ER alpha increases PR.

Estrogen Receptors in Colorectal Cancer: Goalkeepers, Strikers, or Bystanders? - 0 views

  • one can conclude that ERβ has an overall antiproliferative effect, thereby inhibiting cancer cell proliferation and antagonizing ERα function in the breast
  • HRT with estrogen alone did not increase the risk of breast cancer in the Women's Health Initiative clinical trials program
  • colorectal normal or cancer epithelium does not coexpress ERα and ERβ
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • ERβ expression resulted in the inhibition of proliferation and G1 phase cell-cycle arrest
  • ERβ expression strongly inhibited cMyc and tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model
  • induced ERβ in CRC cells has an antiproliferative, tumor-suppressive function that is independent of ERα
  • ERs also have the ability to bind many other compounds with an estrogen-like structure, including phytoestrogens and xenoestrogens (or endocrine disruptors)
  • Phytoestrogens are a diverse class of natural compounds with structural similarity to estradiol
  • Barone et al. recently found that two ERβ-selective phytoestrogens effectively counteracted CRC tumorigenesis and surprisingly increased ERβ expression in mice with mutations of the tumor-suppressor gene adenomatous polyposis coli
  • We can conclude that estrogens are important in protecting against CRC initiation and progression, and that the protective effect most likely is mediated by ERβ
  •  
    ER beta is a new potential mode of therapy in colon cancer.  ER beta stimulation has been shown to inhibit colon cancer cell growth.

Comparative Studies of the Estrogen Receptors β and α and the Androgen Recept... - 0 views

  • ER-β is predominately immunolocalized in basal cells and to a lesser extent in stromal cells of the morphologically normal human prostate
  • ER-α is detected in stromal cells and rarely in basal cells of the normal gland
  • AR was predominately localized in the nuclei of differentiated secretory cells and variably in basal cells of the normal acinar/duct unit as well as in stromal cells
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Hall and colleagues44 have reported that ER-β functions as a transdominant inhibitor of ER-α transcription and that it acts to decrease overall cellular sensitivity to estradiol
  • The expression of ER-β was diminished in high-grade dysplasias when compared to normal glands and lower grade lesions.
  • The transition from normal to low/moderate dysplastic glands in the peripheral zone was marked by the appearance of ER-β homogeneously immunostained nuclei in secretory as well as basal cells with no changes in the localization of the other receptors.
  • proliferative signals mediated by AR in basal cells or by ER-α and AR in stromal cells may be opposed by the purported growth-inhibitory action of ER-β25, 26, 27, 28 localized in basal cells.
  • The diminution of ER-β expression in high-grade dysplasias and grade 4/5 cancers may be therefore related to the alteration of DNA methylation pattern in CpG islands of the promoter, resulting in down-regulation of the receptor at the transcriptional level
  • based on the proposed anti-proliferative function of the receptor,25, 26, 27, 28 the presence of ER-β in secretory cells of low/moderate-grade lesions may represent a transient abortive attempt to counter growth of these cells
  • the attrition of receptor-positive basal cells in the high-grade dysplasias may signify a continuing loss of growth inhibitory function mediated by ER-β in these precursor lesions
  • Our findings in prostate therefore differ from those reported for human colon cancer in which Folley and colleagues48 demonstrated that a selective loss of ER-β protein but not receptor message expression occurs in these neoplasms
  • Our findings therefore differed from those of Bonkhoff and colleagues33 who found immunostaining for the receptor in high-grade dysplasias and grade 4/5 carcinomas. Using in situ hybridization these authors also reported that a high percentage of dysplasias and carcinomas in their study contained cells that expressed ER-α message
  •  
    Very nice study.  The authors looked at normal prostate, early disease and late stage prostate cancer.  The authors found that ER beta expression, as a general rule, was lost as progression occurred to the high-grade dysplasias and grad 4/5 carcinomas of the prostate.  Early low/moderate dysplasia was associated with an increase in ER beta--the authors propose that this was due to an attempt of the basal epithelium to counter the paracrine effect of ER alpha.   In contrast, androgen receptors appeared to be equally expressed across all.

    Study finds that ER beta inhibits invasion, proliferation and actually triggers cell death of prostate cancer cells.  This fits with the other data that loss of ER beta promotes carcinogenesis.

The Estrogen Receptor β Subtype: A Novel Mediator of Estrogen Action in Neuro... - 0 views

  •  
    Estrogen receptors are one mechanism of the transmission of the estrogen signal.  The signal can be from estrogens themselves, estrogenic like compounds (xenoestrogens) and via non-estrogens like 3-beta androstane idol that interacts with ER beta to decrease prostate cancer cell proliferation.

The Androgen Derivative 5α-Androstane-3β,17β-Diol Inhibits Prostate Cancer Ce... - 0 views

  • the dihydrotestosterone metabolite 5α-androstane-3β,17β-diol (3β-Adiol), a steroid which does not bind androgen receptors, but efficiently binds the estrogen receptor β (ERβ), exerts a potent inhibition of prostate cancer cell migration through the activation of the ERβ signaling
  • estradiol is not active
  • 3β-Adiol, through ERβ, induces the expression of E-cadherin, a protein known to be capable of blocking metastasis formation in breast and prostate cancer cells
  •  
    DHT metabolite 3-beta androstanediol inhibits prostate cancer via its interaction with ER beta not AR.  This study finds increased E-cadherin transcription to reduce metastasis.  Estrogen was not active, according to this study.  This implies that estrogen in early disease may have a different signal than late.

    Mouse study finds that DHT metabolite provides negative feedback to HPA via 3beta androstaendiol.  What is interesting is that this signaling occurred through ER beta.  Androgen signaling processed through estrogen receptors.

    Estrogen early protects against colon cancer, but estrogen increases proliferation late.  The problem here is the estrogens involved.  If ER beta is shown to be highly expressed in the colon, then Estriol would be of benefit as it preferentially binds to ER beta at a rate of 5:1 and Estradiol at a rate of 1:1.  Estriol is currently used in Europe in advanced breast cancer.

Resistance training restores muscle sex steroid hormone steroidogenesis in older men - 0 views

  •  
    I like this study.  So many men, and women for that matter, focus on cardio for health and weight loss.  In men, low Testosterone is associated with aging as is weight.  This inverse relationship leads to the sarcopenic (belly, manboobs, and thin arms/legs) obesity so prevalent in older men today.  This study found that older men do have lower levels of enzymes and androgens from muscle biopsies as compared to younger men.  A 12 week resistance training regimen of only knee flexion and extension (simple) resulted in increased 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.

ERβ Has Nongenomic Action in Caveolae: Molecular Endocrinology: Vol 16, No 5 - 0 views

  •  
    Estrogen receptors are primarily located inside the nucleus and in the cytoplasm; not on the cell membrane surface. This article specifically focus' on the non-genomic action of ER-beta.  ER-alpha and ER-beta are classic transcription factors.
