dossier thématique
à la physiologie du cycle ovarien. Plusieurs travaux réa-
lisés ces dernières années ont fait évoluer cette vision
et mis en lumière des relations bidirectionnelles entre
système circadien et signalisation estrogénique. Les
données disponibles restent encore fragmentaires,
mais la poursuite de ces travaux apportera certaine-
ment de nouveaux éléments sur le contrôle hormonal
des horloges et sur le rôle du système circadien dans
l’action des estrogènes. Les résultats concernant ERα
et ERβ montrent que des liens étroits entre le système
circadien et les mécanismes moléculaires de la signa-
lisation estrogénique existent. ERα joue un rôle majeur
dans le développement des cancers du sein hormo-
nodépendants, alors qu’ERβ est un médiateur majeur
dans la pathologie et le traitement de la dépression
et de l’anxiété. Il deviendra donc important à l’avenir
de prendre en compte ces interactions entre horloges
circadiennes et signalisation estrogénique dans le cadre
de thérapies utilisant des agonistes ou antagonistes
ciblant les récepteurs ERα et ERβ.
