Estrogen receptors (ERs) are proteins found in cells that function as receptors for the hormone estrogen (17β-estradiol).[1] There are two main classes of ERs. The first includes the intracellular estrogen receptors, namely ERα and ERβ, which belong to the nuclear receptor family. The second class consists of membrane estrogen receptors (mERs), such as GPER (GPR30), ER-X, and Gq-mER, which are primarily G protein-coupled receptors. This article focuses on the nuclear estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ).

Upon activation by estrogen, intracellular ERs undergo translocation to the nucleus where they bind to specific DNA sequences. As DNA-binding transcription factors, they regulate the activity of various genes. However, ERs also exhibit functions that are independent of their DNA-binding capacity.[2] These non-genomic actions contribute to the diverse effects of estrogen signaling in cells.

Estrogen receptors (ERs) belong to the family of steroid hormone receptors, which are hormone receptors for sex steroids. Along with androgen receptors (ARs) and progesterone receptors (PRs), ERs play crucial roles in regulating sexual maturation and gestation. These receptors mediate the effects of their respective hormones, contributing to the development and maintenance of reproductive functions and secondary sexual characteristics.

Genes

[edit]

In humans, the two forms of the estrogen receptor are encoded by different genes, ESR1 and ESR2 on the sixth and fourteenth chromosome (6q25.1 and 14q23.2), respectively.

PDBsumstructure summary

There are two different forms of the estrogen receptor, usually referred to as α and β, each encoded by a separate gene (ESR1 and ESR2, respectively). Hormone-activated estrogen receptors form dimers, and, since the two forms are coexpressed in many cell types, the receptors may form ERα (αα) or ERβ (ββ) homodimers or ERαβ (αβ) heterodimers.[3] Estrogen receptor alpha and beta show significant overall sequence homology, and both are composed of five domains designated A/B through F (listed from the N- to C-terminus; amino acid sequence numbers refer to human ER).[citation needed]

The N-terminal A/B domain is able to transactivate gene transcription in the absence of bound ligand (e.g., the estrogen hormone). While this region is able to activate gene transcription without ligand, this activation is weak and more selective compared to the activation provided by the E domain. The C domain, also known as the DNA-binding domain, binds to estrogen response elements in DNA. The D domain is a hinge region that connects the C and E domains. The E domain contains the ligand binding cavity as well as binding sites for coactivator and corepressor proteins. The E-domain in the presence of bound ligand is able to activate gene transcription. The C-terminal F domain function is not entirely clear and is variable in length.[citation needed]

Due to alternative RNA splicing, several ER isoforms are known to exist. At least three ERα and five ERβ isoforms have been identified. The ERβ isoforms receptor subtypes can transactivate transcription only when a heterodimer with the functional ERß1 receptor of 59 kDa is formed. The ERß3 receptor was detected at high levels in the testis. The two other ERα isoforms are 36 and 46kDa.[4][5]

Only in fish, but not in humans, an ERγ receptor has been described.[6]

Tissue distribution

[edit]

Both ERs are widely expressed in different tissue types, however there are some notable differences in their expression patterns:[7]

The ERs are regarded to be cytoplasmic receptors in their unliganded state, but visualization research has shown that only a small fraction of the ERs reside in the cytoplasm, with most ER constitutively in the nucleus.[11] The "ERα" primary transcript gives rise to several alternatively spliced variants of unknown function.[12]

Signal transduction

[edit]

Since estrogen is a steroidal hormone, it can readily diffuse through the phospholipid membranes of cells due to its lipophilic nature. As a result, estrogen receptors can be located intracellularly and do not necessarily need to be membrane-bound to interact with estrogen.[13] However, both intracellular and membrane-bound estrogen receptors exist, each mediating different cellular responses to estrogen.[14]

Genomic

[edit]

In the absence of hormone, estrogen receptors are predominantly located in the cytoplasm.[15] Hormone binding triggers a series of events, beginning with the migration of the receptor from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. This is followed by the dimerization of the receptor, where two receptor molecules join together. Finally, the receptor dimer binds to specific DNA sequences known as hormone response elements, initiating the process of gene regulation.

The DNA/receptor complex then recruits other proteins responsible for transcription of downstream DNA into mRNA and ultimately protein, resulting in changes in cell function.[15] Estrogen receptors are also present within the cell nucleus, and both estrogen receptor subtypes (ERα and ERβ) contain a DNA-binding domain, allowing them to function as transcription factors regulating protein production.[16]

The receptor also interacts with transcription factors such as activator protein 1 and Sp-1 to promote transcription, via several coactivators including PELP-1.[15] Tumor suppressor kinase LKB1 coactivates ERα in the cell nucleus through direct binding, recruiting it to the promoter of ERα-responsive genes. LKB1's catalytic activity enhances ERα transactivation compared to catalytically deficient LKB1 mutants.[17] Direct acetylation of estrogen receptor alpha at lysine residues in the hinge region by p300 regulates transactivation and hormone sensitivity.[18]

Non-genomic

[edit]

Nuclear estrogen receptors can also associate with the cell surface membrane and undergo rapid activation upon cellular exposure to estrogen.[19][20]

Some ERs interact with cell membranes by binding to caveolin-1 and forming complexes with G proteins, striatin, receptor tyrosine kinases (e.g., EGFR and IGF-1), and non-receptor tyrosine kinases (e.g., Src).[2][19] Membrane-bound ERs associated with striatin can increase levels of Ca2+ and nitric oxide (NO).[21] Interactions with receptor tyrosine kinases trigger signaling to the nucleus via the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK/ERK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (Pl3K/AKT) pathways.[22]

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK)-3β inhibits nuclear ER transcription by preventing phosphorylation of serine 118 on nuclear ERα. The PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK pathways can phosphorylate GSK-3β, thereby removing its inhibitory effect, with the latter pathway acting via rsk.

17β-Estradiol has been shown to activate the G protein-coupled receptor GPR30.[23] However, the subcellular localization and precise role of this receptor remain controversial.[24]

Cancer

[edit]

Estrogen receptors are over-expressed in around 70% of breast cancer cases, referred to as "ER-positive", and can be demonstrated in such tissues using immunohistochemistry. Two hypotheses have been proposed to explain why this causes tumorigenesis, and the available evidence suggests that both mechanisms contribute:

The result of both processes is disruption of cell cycle, apoptosis and DNA repair, which increases the chance of tumour formation. ERα is certainly associated with more differentiated tumours, while evidence that ERβ is involved is controversial. Different versions of the ESR1 gene have been identified (with single-nucleotide polymorphisms) and are associated with different risks of developing breast cancer.[25]

Estrogen and the ERs have also been implicated in breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and endometrial cancer. Advanced colon cancer is associated with a loss of ERβ, the predominant ER in colon tissue, and colon cancer is treated with ERβ-specific agonists.[26]

Endocrine therapy for breast cancer involves selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMS), such as tamoxifen, which behave as ER antagonists in breast tissue, or aromatase inhibitors, such as anastrozole. ER status is used to determine sensitivity of breast cancer lesions to tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors.[27] Another SERM, raloxifene, has been used as a preventive chemotherapy for women judged to have a high risk of developing breast cancer.[28] Another chemotherapeutic anti-estrogen, ICI 182,780 (Faslodex), which acts as a complete antagonist, also promotes degradation of the estrogen receptor.

However, de novo resistance to endocrine therapy undermines the efficacy of using competitive inhibitors like tamoxifen. Hormone deprivation through the use of aromatase inhibitors is also rendered futile.[29] Massively parallel genome sequencing has revealed the common presence of point mutations on ESR1 that are drivers for resistance, and promote the agonist conformation of ERα without the bound ligand. Such constitutive, estrogen-independent activity is driven by specific mutations, such as the D538G or Y537S/C/N mutations, in the ligand binding domain of ESR1 and promote cell proliferation and tumor progression without hormone stimulation.[30]

Menopause

[edit]

The metabolic effects of estrogen in postmenopausal women has been linked to the genetic polymorphism of estrogen receptor beta (ER-β).[31]

Aging

[edit]

Studies in female mice have shown that estrogen receptor-alpha declines in the pre-optic hypothalamus as they grow old. Female mice that were given a calorically restricted diet during the majority of their lives maintained higher levels of ERα in the pre-optic hypothalamus than their non-calorically restricted counterparts.[8]

Obesity

[edit]

A dramatic demonstration of the importance of estrogens in the regulation of fat deposition comes from transgenic mice that were genetically engineered to lack a functional aromatase gene. These mice have very low levels of estrogen and are obese.[32] Obesity was also observed in estrogen deficient female mice lacking the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor.[33] The effect of low estrogen on increased obesity has been linked to estrogen receptor alpha.[34]

SERMs for other treatment purposes

[edit]

SERMs are also being studied for the treatment of uterine fibroids[35] and endometriosis.[36] The evidence supporting the use of SERMs for treating uterine fibroids (reduction in size of fibroids and improving other clinical outcomes) is inconclusive and more research is needed.[35] It is also not clear if SERMs is effective for treating endometriosis.[36]

Estrogen insensitivity syndrome

[edit]

Estrogen insensitivity syndrome is a rare intersex condition with 5 reported cases, in which estrogen receptors do not function. The phenotype results in extensive masculinization. Unlike androgen insensitivity syndrome, EIS does not result in phenotype sex reversal. It is incredibly rare and is anologious to the AIS, and forms of adrenal hyperplasia. The reason why AIS is common and EIS is exceptionally rare is that XX AIS does not result in infertility, and therefore can be maternally inheirented, while EIS always results in infertility regardless of karyotype. A negative feedback loop between the endocrine system also occurs in EIS, in which the gonads produce markedly higher levels of estrogen for individuals with EIS (119–272 pg/mL XY and 750–3,500 pg/mL XX, see average levels) however no feminizing effects occur.[37][38]

Binding and functional selectivity

[edit]

The ER's helix 12 domain plays a crucial role in determining interactions with coactivators and corepressors and, therefore, the respective agonist or antagonist effect of the ligand.[39][40]

Different ligands may differ in their affinity for alpha and beta isoforms of the estrogen receptor:

Subtype selective estrogen receptor modulators preferentially bind to either the α- or the β-subtype of the receptor. In addition, the different estrogen receptor combinations may respond differently to various ligands, which may translate into tissue selective agonistic and antagonistic effects.[42] The ratio of α- to β- subtype concentration has been proposed to play a role in certain diseases.[43]

The concept of selective estrogen receptor modulators is based on the ability to promote ER interactions with different proteins such as transcriptional coactivator or corepressors. Furthermore, the ratio of coactivator to corepressor protein varies in different tissues.[44] As a consequence, the same ligand may be an agonist in some tissue (where coactivators predominate) while antagonistic in other tissues (where corepressors dominate). Tamoxifen, for example, is an antagonist in breast and is, therefore, used as a breast cancer treatment[25] but an ER agonist in bone (thereby preventing osteoporosis) and a partial agonist in the endometrium (increasing the risk of uterine cancer).

Discovery

[edit]

Estrogen receptors were first identified by Elwood V. Jensen at the University of Chicago in 1958,[45][46] for which Jensen was awarded the Lasker Award.[47] The gene for a second estrogen receptor (ERβ) was identified in 1996 by Kuiper et al. in rat prostate and ovary using degenerate ERalpha primers.[48]
