The gene coding for the human wild-type estrogen receptor (ER) was stably transfected into the human fetal osteoblastic cell line hFOB 1 .I 9, a clonal cell line which is conditionally immortilized with a temperature sensitive mutant of SV40 large T antigen (tsA58). Five subclones were obtained whic

Background: Biological actions of estrogens are mediated by the two specific estrogen receptors ERΞ± and ERΞ². However, due to the absence of adequate cellular models, their respective transcriptional activities are still poorly understood. For instance, the evaluation of such differing properties on
Tagging hormone receptors with the green fluorescent protein (GFP) has increased our knowledge of ligand dependent sub-cellular trafficking of hormone receptors. However, the effect of the tagged hormone receptor expression on the corresponding wild type hormone receptor and endogenous gene expressi
Resveratrol (Res) is a phytoestrogen found in grapes and present in red wine. Res has been shown to function as an estrogen receptor (ER) agonist, but it remains unclear whether it may also exert antagonist activity. Our aim was to study the effects of Res at both the molecular (TGFalpha gene activa
