ABSTRACT
Estrogen and estrogen receptors (ERα and ERß) regulate a multitude of complicated physiological and pathological processes. Jan-Ake Gustafsson's group discovered ERß in 1996, this crucial finding gives us new insights into the understanding of estrogen signaling. ERß is highly expressed in the ovary and particularly exists in granulosa cells (GCs). ERß is a key transcription factor in the maintenance of ovarian granulosa cell growth, differentiation, and homeostasis, and the ovulation function of ovarian follicles and oocytes. Additionally, ERß can modulate the steroidogenic transcriptional program through phosphorylation and regulate both gonadotropin response and FOXL2 expression within the ovary. In this review, we focus on the role of ERß in regulating ovarian granulosa cell development and homeostasis, particularly its significance in ovarian cancer (OC), premature ovarian failure (POF), and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It also highlights the prospects of small molecule compounds targeting ERß, providing a new strategy for the treatment of ovarian-related diseases.
