Estradiol Regulates Expression of Estrogen Receptor ERα46 in Human Macrophages

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Monocytes and macrophages are key innate immune effector cells that produce cytokines and chemokines upon activation. We and others have shown that 17beta-estradiol (E2) has a direct role in the modulation of monocyte and macrophage immune function. However, relatively little is known about the ability of E2 to regulate isoform expression of estrogen receptors (ERs) in these cells....
