New roles for neuronal estrogen receptors

Abstract: Estrogens encompass steroid hormones which display physiological roles not only in the female reproductive system but also in other organ systems of non-reproductive controls, including the peripheral and central nervous systems. Traditionally, estrogen signals in neurons through a "genomic pathway": binding to estrogen receptors (ERs) which then interact with nuclear estrogen response elements to initiate transcription. This effect is usually delayed at onset (within several hours to days) and prolonged in du… Show more

“…In female rats, after tasks that involve the hippocampus, binding of an agonist to GPER strengthen their reference memory, while the binding of an antagonist inhibits the reference memory. The [45]. Another study investigated the effect of E2 on social transmission of food preferences (STFP) task in ovariectomized mice and the role of estrogen receptors in this process.…”

“…Even though some of these actions may be explained by the intrinsic antioxidant properties of this hormone, acting as free radical scavenger of oxidative stress (Prokai et al, 2003 ), the majority of E2 neuroprotective effects require binding to ERs. To date, three distinct ERs have been characterized distinctly distributed throughout the different brain areas: ERα, ERβ, and G-protein coupled ER1 (GPER) (Prossintz and Barton, 2011 ; Lu and Herndon, 2017 ). In addition, a variety of splice variants of ERα and ERβ (ranging from 36 to 80 kDa) has also been identified in different systems, although its functional relevance in brain preservation is still unclear (Ascenzi et al, 2006 ; Marin et al, 2006 ; Kim et al, 2017 ).…”

“…Other neuronal functions in which activation of GPER has been linked to positive outcomes include depression, pain, metabolic regulation (body weight, energy balance), and post ischemic stroke (62). Since most of the neurological studies have focused on targeting GPER per se, and because GPER-specific agonists and antagonists are permeable, it is unclear whether the observed neuronal effects are due to cell surface and/or intracellular GPER.…”
