Mechanisms of estrogen action during neural development: mediation by interactions with the neurotrophins and their receptors?

Abstract

Estrogen enhances the growth and differentiation of neurites within the developing forebrain. A critical issue is whether these developmental actions of estrogen are mediated directly or indirectly by means of autocrine responses or local paracrine mechanisms, through interactions with growth factors, such as the neurotrophins, and their receptors. Support for the latter hypothesis comes from our recent observations of co-expression of estrogen receptor mRNA with the mRNAs for the neurotrophins and their receptors; differential and reciprocal up-regulation of estrogen and NGF receptor mRNA and protein expression by estrogen in adult female rat sensory neurons, PC12 cells; and cerebral cortical cultures; and putative estrogen response elements in the NGF, BDNF, trkA and p75 genes. Estrogen and the neurotrophins may influence each other's actions by regulating receptor and ligand availability or by reciprocal regulation at the level of signal transduction or gene transcription. The neurotrophins may serve as regulatory "switches" for the apparent developmentally-regulated, differential pattern of estrogen receptor regulation by its ligand, whereby their ability to increase estrogen receptor levels significantly may be sufficient ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
