“…4B). To the best of our knowledge, granular cytoplasmic staining of endogenous ERRα has been shown previously only in a study of poorly differentiated breast cancer tissue (51). Alternatively, the granular ERRα in the cytoplasm might represent vesicular structures and reflect localization to the late endocytic pathway.…”

An shRNA-mediated screen of the 48 human nuclear receptor genes identified multiple candidates likely to influence the production of human cytomegalovirus in cultured human fibroblasts, including the estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα), an orphan nuclear receptor. The 50-kDa receptor and a 76-kDa variant were induced posttranscriptionally following infection. Genetic and pharmacological suppression of the receptor reduced viral RNA, protein, and DNA accumulation, as well as the yield of infectious progeny. In addition, RNAs encoding multiple metabolic enzymes, including enzymes sponsoring glycolysis (enolase 1, triosephosphate isomerase 1, and hexokinase 2), were reduced when the function of ERRα was inhibited in infected cells. Consistent with the effect on RNAs, a substantial number of metabolites, which are normally induced by infection, were either not increased or were increased to a reduced extent in the absence of normal ERRα activity. We conclude that ERRα is needed for the efficient production of cytomegalovirus progeny, and we propose that the nuclear receptor contributes importantly to the induction of a metabolic environment that supports optimal cytomegalovirus replication.herpesvirus | metabolism | nuclear receptor | mass spectrometry H uman cytomegalovirus (HCMV) belongs to the β-herpesvirus subfamily, and although most healthy individuals remain asymptomatic subsequent to infection, the pathogen is a major contributor to birth defects and to life-threatening disease in immunocompromised patients (1-3). As with all viruses, HCMV depends on the host cell to provide macromolecular building blocks for virion production, and throughout the course of its evolution, HCMV has adapted to manipulate numerous fundamental cellular processes, including RNA accumulation (4), translation (5), metabolism (6, 7), secretory pathways (8), and the cell cycle (9).The nuclear receptor gene family, of which there are 48 members in the human genome, encodes transcription factors (10). Some bind to specific hydrophobic ligands such as steroids, vitamin D, fatty acids, and lipids, providing a means to sense changes in the extracellular or intracellular environment; others are "orphans" with no known ligand, and are often constitutively active (11). As transcription factors that modulate broad gene regulatory networks, nuclear receptors control numerous physiological processes, including aspects of metabolism (cell autonomously and at the whole-organism level), development, and cellular differentiation, cancer, circadian rhythm, and immunity (11).The first indication that nuclear receptor signaling modulates HCMV replication surfaced after the identification of a retinoic acid response element within the major immediate-early promoter (MIEP) that caused a dose-dependent response to retinoic acid in reporter assays (12). Retinoic acid was further shown to enhance viral DNA replication and progeny production in human embryonal carcinoma cells and foreskin fibroblasts (13,14). The ligand also exacerbated symptoms of infection,...

“…Estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) is an orphan nuclear receptor and an important component of signaling networks in breast cancer cells (8). Although its ligand has not yet been identified, ERRα activity depends on the expression level and/or activity of its co-regulators, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha and beta (PGC-1α and PGC-1β) (9).…”

Purpose Estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) signaling has recently been implicated in breast cancer. We investigated the clinical value of ERRα in randomized cohorts of tamoxifen-treated and adjuvant-untreated patients. Experimental design Cox proportional hazards regression was used to evaluate the significance of associations between ERRα gene expression levels and patient DMFS in a previously published microarray dataset representing two thousand breast tumor cases derived from multiple medical centers worldwide. The 912 tumors used for immunostaining were from a tamoxifen-randomized primary breast cancer trial conducted in Stockholm, Sweden, during 1976–1990. Mouse model was used to study the effect of tamoxifen treatment on lung colonization of MDA-MB-231 control cells and MDA-MB-231 cells with stable knockdown of ERRα. The phenotypic effects associated with ERRα modulation were studied using immunoblotting analyses and wound healing assay. Results We found that in ER-negative and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) adjuvant-untreated patients, ERRα expression indicated worse prognosis and correlated with poor outcome predictors. However, in tamoxifen-treated patients, an improved outcome was observed with high ERRα gene and protein expression. Reduced ERRα expression was oncogenic in the presence of tamoxifen, measured by in vitro proliferation and migration assays and in vivo metastasis studies. Conclusion Taken together, these data show that ERRα expression predicts response to tamoxifen treatment, and ERRα could be a biomarker of tamoxifen sensitivity and a prognostic factor in TNBC.

“…ERRα and ERRγ play important roles in metabolism. ERRα is thought to be a useful therapeutic target for breast cancer [9] and is a key determinant of rapamycin-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver [10]. Evidence is accumulating to implicate ERRγ in the aetiology of various diseases.…”

Bile acids are primarily synthesized from cholesterol in the liver and have important roles in dietary lipid absorption and cholesterol homoeostasis. Detailed roles of the orphan nuclear receptors regulating cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), the rate-limiting enzyme in bile acid synthesis, have not yet been fully elucidated. In the present study, we report that oestrogen-related receptor γ (ERRγ) is a novel transcriptional regulator of CYP7A1 expression. Activation of cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1 receptor) signalling induced ERRγ-mediated transcription of the CYP7A1 gene. Overexpression of ERRγ increased CYP7A1 expression in vitro and in vivo, whereas knockdown of ERRγ attenuated CYP7A1 expression. Deletion analysis of the CYP7A1 gene promoter and a ChIP assay revealed an ERRγ -binding site on the CYP7A1 gene promoter. Small heterodimer partner (SHP) inhibited the transcriptional activity of ERRγ and thus regulated CYP7A1 expression. Overexpression of ERRγ led to increased bile acid levels, whereas an inverse agonist of ERRγ, GSK5182, reduced CYP7A1 expression and bile acid synthesis. Finally, GSK5182 significantly reduced hepatic CB1 receptor-mediated induction of CYP7A1 expression and bile acid synthesis in alcohol-treated mice. These results provide the molecular mechanism linking ERRγ and bile acid metabolism.
