    • The estrogen receptors alpha (ERα) and beta (ERβ) have been demonstrated in mouse models to be important for immune system regulation, and are differentially expressed in lymphoid organs. One ERβ splice variant, ERβ2, inhibits the ERα-mediated estrogen effect, and expression might predict response to selective estrogen receptor modulators. We studied the expression of ERα, ERβ1 and ERβ2 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 26 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and 30 normal controls using immunocytochemistry. ERα expression was generally low, while ERβ1 was expressed in 65% of patients with CLL and in 83% of controls (NS). In contrast, nuclear staining for ERβ2 was positive in 69% of patients with CLL, but in only 17% of controls (p < 0.001). In CLL, ERβ2 was found in B- but not in T-lymphocytes. Our data show the expression of ERβ1 and ERβ2 in the majority of patients with CLL, suggesting that the ERs are important in CLL and might be used as therapeutic targets.

    • The bone-sparing effect of estrogen is primarily mediated via estrogen receptor (ER) α, which stimulates target gene transcription through two activation functions (AFs), AF-1 in the N-terminal and AF-2 in the ligand-binding domain. It was recently demonstrated that the ER antagonist ICI 182,780 (ICI) acts as an ER agonist in uterus of mice with mutations in the ERα AF-2. To evaluate the estrogen-like effects of ICI in different tissues, ovariectomized wild-type mice and mice with mutations in the ERα AF-2 (ERαAF-2(0)) were treated with ICI, estradiol, or vehicle for 3 wk. Estradiol increased the trabecular and cortical bone mass as well as the uterine weight, whereas it reduced fat mass, thymus weight, and the growth plate height in wild-type but not in ERαAF-2(0) mice. Although ICI had no effect in wild-type mice, it exerted tissue-specific effects in ERαAF-2(0) mice. It acted as an ERα agonist on trabecular bone mass and uterine weight, whereas no effect was seen on cortical bone mass, fat mass, or thymus weight. Surprisingly, a pronounced inverse agonistic activity was seen on the growth plate height, resulting in enhanced longitudinal bone growth. In conclusion, ICI uses ERα AF-1 in a tissue-dependent manner in mice lacking ERαAF-2, resulting in no effect, agonistic activity, or inverse agonistic activity. We propose that ERα lacking AF-2 is constitutively active in the absence of ligand in the growth plate, enabling ICI to act as an inverse agonist.
