We have used either estradiol or BSA-conjugated estradiol in order to initiate membrane-initiated actions and ICI 172,780 (ICI) or G15 to explore ER- and GPR30-related transcription. Our results show that the majority of G15-inhibited transcription is depending on ERs, as it is also inhibited by ICI. However, a small number of transcripts, related to specific actions/pathways is either exclusively inhibited by G15, providing evidence about a specific GPR30 signature, or not inhibited by ICI or G15 suggesting the existence of another, yet unidentified estrogen receptor. Cells after a 4h incubation with medium containing 10% charcoal stripped FBS were incubated with or without E2-BSA (10-6M) in the presence or absence of specific antagonists, in McCoys's 5A medium supplemented with 10% charcoal stripped FBS, for 3 hours. Total RNA was isolated using Nucleospin II columns (Macheray-Nagel, Dttren, Germany), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. RNA was labeled and hybridized according to the Affymetrix protocol (Affymetrix Gene-Chip Expression Analysis Technical Manual), using the HGU133A plus 2 chip, analyzing a total of 54675 transcripts. Signals were detected by an Affymetrix microarray chip reader.http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-GEOD-32669http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-GEOD-32669/samples/
