Estrogen-Dependent Signaling in a Molecularly Distinct Subclass of Aggressive Prostate ... - 0 views

  •  
    Estrogen receptors play a role in prostate cancer.  TMPRSS2-ERG expression is associated with increased aggressive cancer phenotype--ER beta decreases TMPRSS2-ERG expression, whereas ER alpha increases it.

ERβ Impedes Prostate Cancer EMT by Destabilizing HIF-1α and Inhibiting VEGF-M... - 0 views

  • Loss of ERβ1 expression also resulted in a significant increase in migration and invasion (Figure 2F), functions characteristic of an EMT
  • we hypothesized that ERβ functions as a “gatekeeper” of the epithelial phenotype
  • breast and prostate are different with respect to ER expression and function
  •  
    The process of androgen deprivation therapy needs to be re-evaluated.  Why?  First, the CVD side effects associated with the androgen depletion.  Second, the depletion of 3 beta androstanediol that has been shown to bind to ER beta and inhibit growth.  As in this study that finds that ER beta activity slows prostate cancer through destabilizing of HIF-1 alpha and by inhibiting VEGF.

  •  
    Another support point for Estrogen as a cause of low Testosterone.  This animal study points to signaling of Estradiol through ER alpha.  This study found high expression of ER alpha and subsequent signaling by E2 decreased cAMP and Nur77 transcription factor.  Nur77 increases steroid synthesis.  This was confirmed with ER alpha knockout mice.

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.

  •  
    ER beta expression is dominant in healthy colon epithelium.  This study found that as colon disease progressed, ER beta expression declined.  So that, early disease was associated with the highest level of ER beta expression.

  •  
    Estradiol increased thyroid papillary and follicular cancer cells via both ER alpha and ER beta in this study.  What is also interesting is that estradiol did not increase PR expression.

    Loss of ER beta associated with higher risk of colon cancer.  ER beta has been shown to be highly expressed in health colons.  It has been proposed that loss of this ER beta expression is associated with carcinogenesis.

Urinary Estrogens and Estrogen Metabolites and Subsequent Risk of Breast Cancer among P... - 0 views

  • both 2- and 4-catechol estrogen metabolites bind to the ER with affinities comparable with estradiol, 4-catechol estrogen metabolites have lower dissociation rates than estradiol and an enhanced ability to upregulate ER-dependent processes
  • 2-catechol estrogen metabolites act as either weak mitogens (39) or weak inhibitors of cell proliferation
  • While 16α-hydroxyestrone binds to the ER with lower affinity than estradiol, it binds covalently (41) and leads to a constitutively activated ER
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • 4-hydroxyestradiol and 16α-hydroxyestrone increasing proliferation and decreasing apoptosis in a manner similar to estradiol; however, these effects were achieved only at concentrations 10-fold higher than estradiol (39). In contrast, 2-hydroxyestradiol did not have substantial proliferative or antiapoptotic effects
  • In our study, the associations with both 2-hydroxyestrone and 16α-hydroxyestrone were nonsignificantly inverse and we did not observe a consistent trend or significant associations between the 2-hydroxyestrone:16α-hydroxyestrone ratio and breast cancer risk
  • Ratios of the 3 hydroxylation pathways were not significantly associated with risk although the 2:16-pathway and 4:16-pathway ratios were suggestively inversely associated
  • a significant inverse association with the ratio of parent estrogens to estrogen metabolites
  • several potentially estrogenic and genotoxic mechanisms
  • Estrogen metabolites also can be genotoxic
  • Catechol estrogens can be oxidized into quinones and induce DNA damage directly through the formation of DNA adducts, or indirectly via redox cycling and generation of reactive oxygen species
  • the oxidized forms of the catechol estrogens differ in their ability to damage DNA through adducts, with oxidized 2-catechols forming stable and reversible DNA adducts and oxidized 4-catechols forming unstable adducts, which lead to depurination and mutations
  • 2- and 4-catechols have been shown to produce reactive oxygen species and induce oxidative DNA damage
  • act independently from the ER
  • 16α-Hydroxyestrone also may be genotoxic
  • While the catechol estrogens have estrogenic and genotoxic potential, the methylated catechol estrogens, which are catechol estrogens with one hydroxyl group methylated, have been hypothesized to lower the risk of breast cancer
  • The suggested mechanisms are indirect, by decreasing circulating levels of catechol estrogens and thereby the opportunity for catechols to exert genotoxic or proliferative effects, or direct, by inhibiting tumor growth and inducing apoptosis
  • the balance between phase I (oxidation) and phase II (methylation) metabolism of estrogen may be important in hormonally related cancer development.
  • Despite the estrogenic and genotoxic potential of many of the estrogen metabolites, we only observed a significantly increased breast cancer risk with one estrogen metabolite, 17-epiestriol, which has particularly strong estrogenic activity and binds to both ERα and ERβ with an affinity comparable with estradiol

  •  
    really interesting abstract.  Bisphenol A (BPA)  is a xenoestrogen.  This animal study finds that BPA down regulated ER-beta in the brains of male rats.  It also blocked the production of GABA(A)alpha 2 receptor.  These long term effects were evident in anxiety and depression in adult mice. Pregnancy exposure would set up an ER-alpha dominance in the male brain increasing risk of continuous ER alpha stim.

    estrogen receptors are not created equally.  ER-alpha is the predominant pro-stimulatory signal receptor, whereas the ER-beta is the inhibitory receptor signaling pathway.  SERMS are not created equally as well dependent on how they bind the respective ER receptors.

  •  
    ER beta and prostate cancer.  More aggressive prostate cancer is found to be associated with lower ER beta expression in the prostate.  this makes sense, as other studies have shown that ER beta in the prostate can induce apoptosis (cell death), which is a powerful mechanism to regulate uncontrolled growth as found in cancer.

Estrogen receptor-alpha expression in human meningiomas - 0 views

  •  
    This is a dissertation, but they found ER alpha expression in all meningioma samplings. This is in contrast to previous studies. As further research has come with meningiomas, more ER presence is found, likely due to improved testing techniques. What is interesting here is that Low/no PR status was associated with Increased ER alpha status. This has been shown to be a more pro-inflammatory/pro-growth picture in disease states, such as breast and prostate CA.
