[PMID: 39030619 PMCID: PMC11264751 DOI: 10.1186/s12964-024-01745-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common gastrointestinal malignancy with higher incidence and mortality rates in men compared to women, potentially due to the effects of estrogen signaling. There is substantial evidence supporting the significant role of 17β-Estradiol (E2) in reducing CRC risk in females, although this perspective remains debated. E2 has been demonstrated to inhibit CRC cell proliferation and migration at the cellular level by enhancing DNA mismatch repair, modulating key gene expression, triggering cell cycle arrest, and reducing activity of migration factors. Furthermore, E2 contributes to promote a tumor microenvironment unfavorable for CRC growth by stimulating ERβ expression, reducing inflammatory responses, reversing immunosuppression, and altering the gut microbiome composition. Conversely, under conditions of high oxidative stress, hypoxia, and nutritional deficiencies, E2 may facilitate CRC development through GPER-mediated non-genomic signaling. E2's influence on CRC involves the genomic and non-genomic signals mediated by ERβ and GPER, respectively, leading to its dual roles in anticancer activity and carcinogenesis. This review aims to summarize the potential mechanisms by which E2 directly or indirectly impacts CRC development, providing insights into the phenomenon of sexual dimorphism in CRC and suggesting potential strategies for prevention and treatment.

[PMID: 38537884 PMCID: PMC10990974 DOI: 10.1016/j.molmet.2024.101925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Estrogen-related-receptor α (ERRα) plays a critical role in the transcriptional regulation of cellular bioenergetics and metabolism, and perturbations in its activity have been associated with metabolic diseases. While several coactivators and corepressors of ERRα have been identified to date, a knowledge gap remains in understanding the extent to which ERRα cooperates with coregulators in the control of gene expression. Herein, we mapped the primary chromatin-bound ERRα interactome in mouse liver. METHODS RIME (Rapid Immuno-precipitation Mass spectrometry of Endogenous proteins) analysis using mouse liver samples from two circadian time points was used to catalog ERRα-interacting proteins on chromatin. The genomic crosstalk between ERRα and its identified cofactors in the transcriptional control of precise gene programs was explored through cross-examination of genome-wide binding profiles from chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) studies. The dynamic interplay between ERRα and its newly uncovered cofactor Host cell factor C1 (HCFC1) was further investigated by loss-of-function studies in hepatocytes. RESULTS Characterization of the hepatic ERRα chromatin interactome led to the identification of 48 transcriptional interactors of which 42 were previously unknown including HCFC1. Interrogation of available ChIP-seq binding profiles highlighted oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) under the control of a complex regulatory network between ERRα and multiple cofactors. While ERRα and HCFC1 were found to bind to a large set of common genes, only a small fraction showed their colocalization, found predominately near the transcriptional start sites of genes particularly enriched for components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Knockdown studies demonstrated inverse regulatory actions of ERRα and HCFC1 on OXPHOS gene expression ultimately dictating the impact of their loss-of-function on mitochondrial respiration. CONCLUSIONS Our work unveils a repertoire of previously unknown transcriptional partners of ERRα comprised of chromatin modifiers and transcription factors thus advancing our knowledge of how ERRα regulates metabolic transcriptional programs.

Spinelli S, Bruschi M, Passalacqua M, Guida L, Magnone M, Sturla L, Zocchi E. Estrogen-Related Receptor α: A Key Transcription Factor in the Regulation of Energy Metabolism at an Organismic Level and a Target of the ABA/LANCL Hormone Receptor System. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4796. [PMID: 38732013 PMCID: PMC11084903 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25094796] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
The orphan nuclear receptor ERRα is the most extensively researched member of the estrogen-related receptor family and holds a pivotal role in various functions associated with energy metabolism, especially in tissues characterized by high energy requirements, such as the heart, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, kidney, and brain. Abscisic acid (ABA), traditionally acknowledged as a plant stress hormone, is detected and actively functions in organisms beyond the land plant kingdom, encompassing cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, protozoan parasites, lower Metazoa, and mammals. Its ancient, cross-kingdom role enables ABA and its signaling pathway to regulate cell responses to environmental stimuli in various organisms, such as marine sponges, higher plants, and humans. Recent advancements in understanding the physiological function of ABA and its mammalian receptors in governing energy metabolism and mitochondrial function in myocytes, adipocytes, and neuronal cells suggest potential therapeutic applications for ABA in pre-diabetes, diabetes, and cardio-/neuroprotection. The ABA/LANCL1-2 hormone/receptor system emerges as a novel regulator of ERRα expression levels and transcriptional activity, mediated through the AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α axis. There exists a reciprocal feed-forward transcriptional relationship between the LANCL proteins and transcriptional coactivators ERRα/PGC-1α, which may be leveraged using natural or synthetic LANCL agonists to enhance mitochondrial function across various clinical contexts.

Abstract
To develop effective therapies for complex blinding diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), identification of mechanisms involved in its initiation and progression is needed. The estrogen-related receptor alpha (ESRRA) is an orphan nuclear receptor that regulates several AMD-associated pathogenic pathways. However, it has not been investigated in detail in the ocular posterior pole during aging or in AMD. This review delves into the literature highlighting the significance of ESRRA as a molecular target that may be important in the pathobiology of AMD, and discusses data available supporting the targeting of this receptor signaling pathway as a therapeutic option for AMD.

Abstract
Cell migration is essential throughout the life of multicellular organisms, and largely depends on the spatial and temporal regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics, cell adhesion and signal transduction. Interestingly, Estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) has been identified as a major regulator of cell migration in both physiological and pathological conditions. ERRα is an orphan member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of transcription factors and displays many biological functions. ERRα is a global regulator of energy metabolism, and it is also highly involved in bone homeostasis, development, differentiation, immunity and cancer progression. Importantly, in some instances, the regulation of these biological processes relies on the ability to orchestrate cell movements. Therefore, this review describes how ERRα-mediated cell migration contributes not only to tissue homeostasis but also to tumorigenesis and metastasis, and highlights the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which ERRα finely controls the cell migratory potential.
