Truncated Estrogen Receptor α 46-kDa Isoform in Human Endothelial Cells by Gemma A. Figtree, Denise McDonald, Hugh Watkins, and Keith M. Channon Circulation Volume 107(1):120-126 January 7, 2003 Copyright © American Heart Association, Inc. All rights reserved. Figure 1. A, RT-PCR demonstrating the expression of Δ1a-hERα-46 transcript (lower bands) in human endothelial-derived cell lines EA.926, hMECs, HUVECs, and the positive control MCF-7 cells. Gemma A.

Western blot demonstrating a 46-kDA ERα immunoreactive band in lysates of both MCF cells and EA.926 cells. Gemma A. Figtree et al.

Nonpermeabilized COS cells transfected with Δ1a-hERα-46 (ERα46) or ERα66 expression vectors contain surface binding sites for 17β-estradiol (E2) detectable by cellimpermeant ligand binding (E2coBSA covalently linked to E2-FITC).

Figure 7. Transient transfection studies using the estrogen response element reporter plasmid (ERE)2-tk-LUC to examine the relative estrogen-dependent transcriptional activation mediated by Δ1a-hERα-46 (ERα46) compared with ERα66. Δ1a-hERα-46 has much less ability for estrogendependent transcriptional activity and inhibits that of ERα66 in human endothelial cells. Gemma A. Figtree et al.
