Genome‐wide estrogen receptor β chromatin binding in human colon cancer cells reveals its tumor suppressor activity
23 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer death in the western world. In women, menopausal hormone therapy has been shown to reduce CRC incidence by 20%. Studies demonstrate that estrogen activating estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) protects against CRC. ERβ is a nuclear receptor that regulates gene expression through interactions with the chromatin. This molecular mechanism is, however, not well...
