Oestrogen receptor β is expressed in adult human skeletal muscle both at the mRNA and protein level
Abstract
Aim: There are two known oestrogen receptors (ER), oestrogen receptor α (ER α) and the recently cloned oestrogen receptor β (ER β). ER α mRNA has been detected in mouse, rat, bovine and human skeletal muscle. ER β mRNA has been detected in bovine skeletal muscle. To our knowledge, no study has investigated the expression of oestrogen receptor β in human skeletal muscle. Therefore, the primary aim of the present investigation was to study ER β mRNA and protein expression in human skeletal muscle. In addition the ER α expression was also studied. Methods: Muscle biopsies were taken from vastus lateralis in six healthy adults (three women and three men). mRNA expression was detected with real‐time PCR (TaqMan) and protein localization by immunohistochemistry. Results: A clear expression of ER α and ER β mRNA was seen in skeletal muscle in all subjects. The ER α mRNA expression was 180 fold higher compared with that of ER β mRNA. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated positive staining for ER β, but not for ER α, with localization to the nuclei of skeletal muscle fibres. On average, 70% of all nuclei were ER β‐positive. Conclusion: The present study shows for the first time ER β mRNA and protein expression in human skeletal muscle tissue in both males and females.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
