We showed previously in neocortical explants, derived from
developing wild-type and estrogen receptor (ER)- gene-disrupted (ERKO) mice, that both 17 - and 17 -estradiol elicit the rapid and
sustained phosphorylation and activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) isoforms, the extracellular signal-regulated kinases ERK1 and ERK2. We proposed that the ER mediating activation of
the MAPK cascade, a signaling pathway important for cell division, neuronal differentiation, and neuronal survival in the developing brain, is neither ER- nor ER- but a novel, plasma
membrane-associated, putative ER with unique properties. The data
presented here provide further evidence that points strongly to the
existence of a high-affinity, saturable, 3H-estradiol
binding site (Kd, ~1.6
nM) in the plasma membrane. Unlike neocortical ER- ,
which is intranuclear and developmentally regulated, and neocortical
ER- , which is intranuclear and expressed throughout life, this
functional, plasma membrane-associated ER, which we have designated
"ER-X," is enriched in caveolar-like microdomains (CLMs) of
postnatal, but not adult, wild-type and ERKO neocortical and uterine
plasma membranes. We show further that ER-X is functionally
distinct from ER- and ER- , and that, like ER- , it is
re-expressed in the adult brain, after ischemic stroke injury. We also
confirmed in a cell-free system that ER- is an inhibitory regulator
of ERK activation, as we showed previously in neocortical cultures.
Association with CLM complexes positions ER-X uniquely to interact
rapidly with kinases of the MAPK cascade and other signaling pathways,
providing a novel mechanism for mediation of the influences of
estrogen on neuronal differentiation, survival, and plasticity.
Key words:
caveolae/caveolar-like microdomains; 17 -estradiol; 17 -estradiol; ERK1/2; ERKO; brain; neocortex; uterus; development
