Estrogen receptor α (ERα) is a ligand-activated transcriptional activator that is also involved vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis. Whether different ligands may affect this activity has not been explored. We screened a panel of phytoestrogens for their role in ERα binding and transcriptional transcription, and correlated the findings to anti-inflammatory activities in vascular endothelial cells stably expressing either a wild-type or mutant form of ERα deficient in its membrane association. Taxifolin and silymarin were "high binders" for ERα ligand binding; quercetin and curcumin were "high activators" for ERα transactivation. Using these phytoestrogens as functional probes, we found, in endothelial cells expressing wild-type ERα, the ERα high activator, but not the ERα high binder, promoted ERα nuclear translocation, estrogen response element (ERE) reporter activity, and the downstream gene expression. In endothelial cells expressing membrane association-deficient mutant ERα, the ERα nuclear translocation was significantly enhanced by taxifolin and silymarin, which still failed to activate ERα. Inflammation response was examined using the systemic or vascular inflammation inducers lipopolysaccharide or oxidized low-density lipoprotein. In both cases, only the ERα high activator inhibited nuclear translocation of nuclear factor κB, JNK, and p38, and the production of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNFα. We confirm a threshold nuclear accumulation of ERα is necessary for its transactivation. The anti-inflammatory activity of phytoestrogens is highly dependent on ERα transactivation, less so on the ligand binding, and independent of its membrane association. A pre-examination of phytoestrogens for their mode of ERα interaction could facilitate their development as better targeted receptor modifiers.

View all literature mentionsTHIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 12,2023. Matlab code for two-factor (location and year) analysis-of-variance model for the calculation of climate anomalies, in which the reference interval is specified as the full length of the dataset. This scheme avoids the affects of shorter (e.g. 1961-1990) reference intervals on the temporal evolution of the spatial standard deviation of climate anomalies. Data files provided.
