GPER (G protein-coupled estrogen receptor) has been reported to play roles in several areas of physiology including cancer, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular disease. However, the understanding of where this receptor is expressed in human tissue is limited due to limited available tools and methodologies that can reliably detect GPER protein. Recently, a highly specific monoclonal antibody against GPER (20H15L21) was developed and is suitable for immunohistochemistry. Using this antibody, we show that GPER protein expression varies markedly between normal human tissue, and also among cancer tissue. As GPER is an emerging therapeutic target for cancer and other diseases, this new understanding of GPER distribution will likely be helpful in design and interpretation of ongoing and future GPER research.

Impact of sex hormones on pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas, and gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

Objective: The effects of sex hormones remain largely unexplored in pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) and gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs).
Methods: We evaluated the effects of estradiol, progesterone, Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), and testosterone on human patient-derived PPGL/GEP-NET primary culture cell viability (n = 38/n = 12), performed next-generation sequencing and immunohistochemical hormone receptor analysis in patient-derived PPGL tumor tissues (n = 36).
Results: In PPGLs, estradiol and progesterone (1 µm) demonstrated overall significant antitumor effects with the strongest efficacy in PPGLs with NF1 (cluster 2) pathogenic variants.
G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor 30 regulation of signaling downstream of protein kinase Cε mediates sex dimorphism in hyaluronan-induced antihyperalgesia.

High molecular weight hyaluronan (HMWH) inhibits hyperalgesia induced by diverse pronociceptive inflammatory mediators and their second messengers, in rats of both sexes. However, the hyperalgesia induced by ligands at 3 pattern recognition receptors, lipopolysaccharide (a toll-like receptor 4 agonist), lipoteichoic acid (a toll-like receptor 2/6 agonist), and nigericin (a NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 activator), and oxaliplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy are only attenuated in males. After gonadectomy or intrathecal administration of an antisense to G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor 30 (GPER) mRNA, HMWH produces antihyperalgesia in females.

Men and women have different cardiovascular responses to spaceflight; however, few studies have focused on direct comparisons between sexes. We investigated the mechanisms of aortic stiffening in socially and sexually mature 20-week-old male and female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats exposed to hindlimb unloading (HLU) for 14 days. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was greater in the aortic arch of females after HLU versus control females (n = 6-8).

The G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) plays a crucial role in various biological processes, but its regulation of oocyte meiosis remains unclear. In this study, we generated a Gper1 knockout in growing oocytes using Zp3-Cre, revealing that GPER is essential for oocyte maturation and embryo development. RNA-seq analysis indicated that GPER deficiency significantly altered the oocyte transcriptome and disrupted mRNA translation.

Background And Purpose: This study investigated modulating the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) on the IRElα/TXNIP pathway and its role in drug resistance in MDA-MB231 cells.
Experimental Approach: To determine the optimal concentrations of G and 4-hydroxytamoxifen (TAM), GPER expression and ERK1/2 phosphorylation were analyzed using qRT-PCR and western blotting, respectively. Cells were treated with individual concentrations of G (1000 nM), G (1000 nM), and TAM (2000 nM), as well as combinations of these treatments (G + G, TAM + G, and G + TAM) for 24 and 48 h.
