Roles of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, p53 and p21 in pathogenesis of pelvic organ prolapse

Abstract: The aim of this study is to compare the levels of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), p53 and p21 between pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and control groups in order to evaluate their roles in pathogenesis of POP, and to find out the relationship among these proteins. Through the year of 2002, uterosacral ligaments were obtained from 20 prolapsus and 24 non-prolapsus hysterectomized uteruses. ER, PR, p53, and p21 proteins were extracted by Western blot analysis and relative levels of proteins were … Show more

“…Serum estradiol levels and ER are significantly lower (p < 0.01) in the uterine ligaments of women who had POP than in controls without POP before menopause (8). Also, decreased levels of estrogen and progesterone receptors have been described in postmenopausal POP women compared to asymptomatic ones (p < 0.0001) (9).…”

“…Few studies have been done to assess the tissue expression levels of sex steroid hormone receptors in patients with POP. Lower estrogen receptor expression in patients with POP have been found in combination with lower serum concentrations of estrogen [65,71]. In contrast, higher sex steroid hormone receptor expression in POP patients has also been described [72].…”

“…The role of estrogen in collagen metabolism in POP As estrogen deficiency is a known risk factor for POP [65], estrogen replacement therapy traditionally has been used to improve structural integrity of the pelvic tissue with favourable effects on urinary incontinence [66][67][68][69]. Previously, estrogen receptors (ER) were identified in the nuclei of connective tissue and of the smooth muscle cells of the bladder trigone, urethra, vaginal mucosa, levator ani stromal and uterosacral ligament.…”
