Approximately 70% cases of breast cancers exhibit high expression and activity levels of estrogen receptor alpha (ERa), a transcription regulator that induces the expression of genes associated with cellular proliferation and survival. These nuclear functions of the receptor are associated with the development of breast cancer. However, ERa localization is not static, but rather, dynamic with continuous shuttling between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Interestingly, both the nuclear import and export of ERa are modulated by several stimuli that include estradiol, antiestrogens, and growth factors. As ERa nuclear accumulation is critical to the regulation of gene expression, nuclear export of this receptor modulates the intensity and duration of its transcriptional activity. Thus, the subcellular spatial distribution of ERa ensures tight modulation of its concentration in cellular compartMents, as well as of its nuclear and extranuclear functions. In this review, we will discuss current findings regarding the biological importance of molecular mechanisms of, and proteins responsible for, the nuclear import and export of ERa in breast cancer cells.
