5 Introduction G-Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCR) Membrane receptors Most diverse receptor type in eukaryotes Signals through secondary messenger Drug targets Li, J. et al. The Molecule Pages database. Nature 420, (2002).

6 Estrogen Primary female sex hormone Heim (1966) showed estrogen increases maturation rate of developing brain Estrogen studies on neuron development have been ongoing for decades without controlling for GPER PPT may activate GPER, not as selective for ERα as once thought (Srivastava, 2013) ER α and ER β may not play as many roles in estrogen signaling as previously believed

7 What is GPER G-Protein Coupled Estrogen Receptor (GPR30/GPER) Officially named Estrogen receptor in 2007 (Srivastava, 2013) Strongest response to E2 (17β-estradiol) G γ

8 GPER Research Has focused on classical estrogen receptors ER α and ER β Differs from traditional Estrogen Receptors GPER is Largely located in non-nuclear membranes GPER mediates Fast, non-genomic action GPER GPER Golgi ERα GPER Endoplasmic Reticulum Nucleus ERβ

9 Previous research about GPER functions in the nervous system Evidence of role in neuronal ion channel modulations: Intracellular Ca++ Mobilization from ER (Tran, 2015; Romano, 2008) Regulation of K+ channels (Broselid, 2014) Neuroprotective effects in PC-12 cells (Alyea, 2008) Increased post stroke recovery in sex specific manner(gibson, 2016) Research almost solely in mature neurons

21 Results Hypothesis Activation of GPER increases neurite outgrowth in early development In cortical neurons-? Activation of GPER has no effect on neurite outgrowth, but blocking the receptor inhibited neurite outgrowth.

22 Results In cortical neurons-? Activation of GPER has no effect on neurite outgrowth, but blocking the receptor inhibited neurite outgrowth. High levels of endogenous E2 in early development may saturate GPER in cortex Cell specific co-localization may need activation of partner

23 Outline Introduction Methods Results Future Direction

24 Future directions Sub-cellular localization at different developmental times in cortex and hippocampus Co-localization of GPER with other growth promoting proteins Test other agonists of GPER and other estrogen receptors Ca++ mobilization in cortical neuron development Investigate second messenger pathways
