I use ER to indicate Era. ER is predominantly a nuclear protein functioning as hormone- activated transcription factor which regulates the expression of various genes that promote BC proliferation and survival. This classical nuclear genomic pathway is the most characterized ER signaling pathway Estrogen also modulates gene expression by a second mechanism where ER does not directly bind DNA but is tethered to other transcription factor which interact with gene promoter. ER can also transduce rapid signaling via various non nuclear non genomic pathways .in response to estrogen binding, ER can directly or indirectly interact or activate several growth factor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) such as HER2, EGFR, IGF1R, This interaction activates RTK signaling and its downstream kinases. ER can also trigger a signaling cascade that involves c-Src and coactivators. Stress induced kinases and signaling also can influence ER signaling by phosphorylation of ER and coactivators.

Any variation in ER at the gene or protein level contributes to endocrine resistance and to develop of more aggressive phenotype. DOWN REGULATION OR COMPLETE LOSS of ER may occur at multiple levels and by several machanisms. ER mutations occurs in less than 1%.

These pathways can also directly negate or overcome the inhibitory effect of ET by modulating ER activity
ER crosstalk with growth factor receptor pathways in breast cancerâa working model of endocrine resistance. In most ER-positive tumors, genomic ER activity in which ER acts as a transcription factor in the nucleus (also known as NISS) predominates, although some nongenomic ER activity, mediated by ER in the plasma membrane or the cytoplasm interacting with various growth factor receptor and cellular kinase signaling molecules (also known as MISS) also occurs. In tumors with overexpression or hyperactivation of EGFR/HER2, however, ER MISS activity may be especially enhanced. Both genomic/NISS and nongenomic/MISS ER activities are augmented in these tumors via molecular crosstalk between the coexpressed pathways. SERMs like tamoxifen usually inhibit NISS but have no effect or may even promote nongenomic/MISS ER activity. In contrast, estrogen deprivation (âE2) using aromatase inhibitors, or pure antiestrogens such as fulvestrant, can block both NISS and MISS ER activities and, thus, halt the crosstalk with growth factor receptor pathways. Targeting the growth factor receptor pathway at different nodal points of signaling using tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), antibodies (Ab), or other signal transduction inhibitors (STI, e.g., mTOR and Raf inhibitors), can eliminate the molecular crosstalk and overcome endocrine resistance.

Resistance to hormonal therapy, either de novo or acquired, is currently a major limitation in the therapy of patients with HR+ breast cancer An emerging mechanism of endocrine resistance is aberrant signaling via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) intracellular signaling pathway. mTOR is a key central regulator of cell growth and proliferation in response to nutrient availability as well as to stimulatory signals from growth factors via the Ras and PI3K pathways growing evidence supporting a close interaction of the mTOR pathway with ER signaling. mTOR forms two different protein complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2 A substrate of mTORC1, S6K1, directly phosphorylates the activation domain AF-1 of the ER, responsible for ligand-independent receptor activation
