90 years of progesterone: molecular mechanisms of progesterone receptor action on the breast cancer genome
(Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, 2020)Gene regulation by steroid hormones has been at the forefront in elucidating the intricacies of transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes ever since the discovery by Karlson and Clever that the insect ... -
Distinct structural transitions of chromatin topological domains correlate with coordinated hormone-induced gene regulation
(Genes & Development, 2014)The human genome is segmented into topologically associating domains (TADs), but the role of this conserved organization during transient changes in gene expression is not known. Here we describe the ... -
A progesterone derivative linked to a stable phospholipid activates breast cancer cell response without leaving the cell membrane
(Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2024)In hormone-responsive breast cancer cells, progesterone (P4) has been shown to act via its nuclear receptor (nPR), a ligand-activated transcription factor. A small fraction of progesterone receptor is ... -
Unliganded progesterone receptor governs estrogen receptor gene expression by regulating DNA methylation in breast cancer cells
(Cancers, 2018)Breast cancer prognosis and response to endocrine therapy strongly depends on the expression of the estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PR, respectively). Although much is known about ERα gene ...
