Development of Subtype-Selective Oestrogen Receptor-Based Therapeutics REVIEWS Development of subtype-selective oestrogen receptor-based therapeutics Stefan Nilsson*‡, Konrad F. Koehler* and Jan-Åke Gustafsson‡§ Abstract | The two oestrogen receptor subtypes α and β are hormone-regulated modulators of intracellular signalling and gene expression. Regulation of oestrogen receptor activity is crucial not only for development and homeostasis but also for the treatment of various diseases and symptoms. Classical selective oestrogen receptor modulators are well established in the treatment of breast cancer and osteoporosis, but emerging data suggest that the development of subtype-selective ligands that specifically target either oestrogen receptor-α or oestrogen receptor-β could be a more optimal approach for the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease.

Storage: 2 years -80°C in solvent; 3 years -20°C powder; Solubility DMSO ≥38mg/mL(140.1 mM) ( < 1 mg/ml refers to the product slightly soluble or insoluble ) In vitro Activity Treatment with ERβ selective estrogen agonists liquiritigenin and ERB-041 reduced the ability to invade a reconstituted basement membrane and to migrate in response to the cellular stimulus [1]. Pretreatment the PMs with ERB-041 resulted in significant inhibition of LPS-induced iNOS expression and NF-kappaB activation by preventing its nuclear translocation [3]. In vivo Activity Tumor numbers and volume were reduced by 60% and 84%, respectively, in the Erb-041-treated group as compared with UVB (alone) control. This inhibition in tumorigenesis was accompanied by a decrease in proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), cyclin D1, VEGF, and CD31, and an increase in apoptosis [2]. Reference 1.

  • Decreases Breast Cancer Cell Survival by Regulating the IRE1&Sol
    Oncogene (2015) 34, 4130–4141 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/15 www.nature.com/onc ORIGINAL ARTICLE ERβ decreases breast cancer cell survival by regulating the IRE1/XBP-1 pathway G Rajapaksa1, F Nikolos1, I Bado1, R Clarke2, J-Å Gustafsson1 and C Thomas1 Unfolded protein response (UPR) is an adaptive reaction that allows cancer cells to survive endoplasmic reticulum (EnR) stress that is often induced in the tumor microenvironment because of inadequate vascularization. Previous studies report an association between activation of the UPR and reduced sensitivity to antiestrogens and chemotherapeutics in estrogen receptor α (ERα)- positive and triple-negative breast cancers, respectively. ERα has been shown to regulate the expression of a key mediator of the EnR stress response, the X-box-binding protein-1 (XBP-1). Although network prediction models have associated ERβ with the EnR stress response, its role as regulator of the UPR has not been experimentally tested. Here, upregulation of wild-type ERβ (ERβ1) or treatment with ERβ agonists enhanced apoptosis in breast cancer cells in the presence of pharmacological inducers of EnR stress. Targeting the BCL-2 to the EnR of the ERβ1-expressing cells prevented the apoptosis induced by EnR stress but not by non-EnR stress apoptotic stimuli indicating that ERβ1 promotes EnR stress-regulated apoptosis. Downregulation of inositol-requiring kinase 1α (IRE1α) and decreased splicing of XBP-1 were associated with the decreased survival of the EnR-stressed ERβ1-expressing cells. ERβ1 was found to repress the IRE1 pathway of the UPR by inducing degradation of IRE1α.
