Estrogen-related receptor (ERR) was studied in the placenta and uterine endometrium, especially endometrial cancers, among reproductive organs. In the placenta, the estrogen receptor (ER) alpha and beta mRNA levels increased from the first to the second trimester, and then decreased until normal term delivery. Estrogen-related receptor alpha, beta and gamma mRNA levels gradually increased up to the second trimester, and then comparatively rapidly increased until normal term delivery. In endometrial cancers, ER alpha and beta mRNA levels decreased with clinical stage, myometrial invasion and dedifferentiation. Estrogen-related receptor alpha levels increased with clinical stage and myometrial invasion, and the ERR gamma levels increased with myometrial invasion. Estrogen-related receptors can bind to the steroid receptor coactivator family without any ligands, and drive transcription activity of the target genes. The manner of ERR and ER gene expressions might show a competitive interaction associated with the use of common cofactors. It is speculated that the upregulation of ERR is related to the placental growth after the downregulation of ER from the second trimester until delivery, and that ERR alpha and gamma are candidates for prognostic factors in endometrial cancer, although ERR are not directly related to tumor growth and advancement of endometrial cancer.

Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer, and effective therapeutic strategies are needed. Estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) is considered a promising target for managing TNBC.
Objectives: Here, we aimed to screen natural products to find downregulator of ERRα and elucidate its mechanism of action.

2-Ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate (EHDPP) is a replacement flame-retardant commonly found in several environmental matrices and human biospecimens. Although some adverse effects of EHDPP have been identified, the endocrine-disrupting effects of EHDPP and its key metabolites on the human estrogen receptor (ER) are largely unknown. Herein, we report for the first time that EHDPP, at concentrations found in the environment and humans, significantly promoted estrogenic activity and synergized with 17β-estradiol-induced ER transactivation.

This study investigated the effects of bisphenol A (BPA) and the involvement of nuclear estrogen receptors (ESR) on testicular energy metabolism and spermatogenesis in zebrafish. Testes were incubated with DMSO, 10 pM or 10μM BPA for 6 or 72h, with some samples pre-incubated with the ESRα/β antagonist ICI 182,780. Gene and protein expressions were analyzed using real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively.

Evidence indicates a bidirectional link between depressive symptoms and neuroinflammation. This study evaluated chronic cannabidiol (CBD) treatment effects in male and female rats subjected to the unpredictable chronic mild stress (UCMS) model of depression. We analyzed the gene expression related to neuroinflammation, cannabinoid signaling, estrogen receptors, and specific microRNAs in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), CA1, and ventral subiculum (VS).

The rapid growth that occurs during larval development requires a dramatic rewiring of central carbon metabolism to support biosynthesis. Larvae achieve this metabolic state, in part, by coordinately up-regulating the expression of genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism. The resulting metabolic program exhibits hallmark characteristics of aerobic glycolysis and establishes a physiological state that supports growth.
