Notes

  • Estrogens affect longitudinal bone growth through their action on endochondral bone formation. Two estrogen receptors are known, the classical estrogen receptor-alpha (ER alpha), newly demonstrated in human growth plate cartilage, and a recently cloned estrogen receptor-beta (ER beta). The present study aimed to localize a possible expression of ER beta protein in human growth plates. Tissue samples were obtained from tibial and femoral growth plates in four female pubertal patients undergoing epiphyseal surgery. Immunohistochemistry, using two different ER beta-specific antibodies, demonstrated positive staining for ER beta in hypertrophic epiphyseal chondrocytes from all patients. No staining was noted in resting or proliferative chondrocytes. These data suggest that in addition to ER alpha, human epiphyseal chondrocytes also express ER beta. The physiological role of ER beta in the regulation of longitudinal bone growth in humans remains to be elucidated.
