A series of 1,3,5-triazine-based estrogen receptor (ER) modulators that are modestly selective for the ERbeta subtype are reported. Compound 1, which displayed modest potency and selectivity for ERbeta vs ERalpha, was identified via high-throughput screening utilizing an ERbeta SPA-based binding assay. Subsequent analogue preparation resulted in the identification of compounds such as 21 and 43 that display 25- to 30-fold selectivity for ERbeta with potencies in the 10-30 nM range. These compounds profile as full antagonists at ERbeta and weak partial agonists at ERalpha in a cell-based reporter gene assay. In addition, the X-ray crystal structure of compound 15 complexed with the ligand binding domain of ERbeta has been solved and was utilized in the design of more conformationally restrained analogues such as 31 in an attempt to increase selectivity for the ERbeta subtype.

Elevated blood levels of estrogens are associated with poor prognosis in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers, but the relationship between circulating blood hormone levels and intracellular hormone concentrations are not well characterized. We observed that MCF-7 cells treated acutely with 17β-estradiol (E2) retain a substantial amount of the hormone even upon removal of the hormone from the culture medium. Moreover, global patterns of E2-dependent gene expression are sustained for hours after acute E2 treatment and hormone removal.

XGBoost-based nomogram for predicting lymph node metastasis in endometrial carcinoma.

Am J Cancer Res

December 2024

Department of Reproductive Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jinan University Guangzhou 510000, Guangdong, China.

This study aims to construct and optimize risk prediction models for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in endometrial carcinoma (EC) patients, thus improving the identification of patients at high risk of LNM and further providing accurate support for clinical decision-making. This retrospective analysis included 541 cases of EC treated at The First Affiliated Hospital, Jinan University between January 2017 and January 2022. Various clinical and pathological variables were incorporated, including age, body mass index (BMI), pathological grading, myometrial invasion, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) levels, and tumor size.

An aggressive angiomyxoma (AA) is a rare soft tissue neoplasm of the lower female genital tract. The incidence of vaginal involvement is low, so it is commonly misdiagnosed as a Bartholin cyst, lipoma, and abscess, among others. This is a case of a 31-year-old female patient presenting with anterior vaginal wall swelling measuring 1 x 1 cm, clinically diagnosed as vaginal carbuncle.

Beyond Standard Endocrine Therapy: A New Adjuvant Treatment in High-Risk Early Breast Cancer.

J Adv Pract Oncol

July 2024

From Carolina Oncology Specialists, Hickory, North Carolina.

The standard adjuvant treatment of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative early breast cancer (EBC) is endocrine therapy (ET). Despite this treatment, 20% of patients will have their disease recur. Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors with ET have shown overall survival (OS) benefit in ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer in the metastatic setting.

Previous studies have suggested that women with higher follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels have a greater incidence of osteoarthritis (OA) compared to women with lower FSH despite normal estrogen levels. Our previous studies also showed that FSH has a negative effect on cartilage in postmenopausal OA. However, no studies have investigated the effect of FSH on the synovium.
