GPER1 and breast cancer: Herein, considering that GPR30 mediates transcriptional regulation in different cell backgrounds, a microarray strategy was applied in immortalized CAFs derived from primary breast cancer samples, resulting in the identification of 165 GPR30 target genes, among which HMGB1 was confirmed to be upregulated by 17-β estradiol(E2)- and TAM-triggered GPR30 activation in CAFs.
