Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α) is known to promote both proliferation and differentiation of neural cell progenitors. Using the human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-BE that is induced to proliferate by TGF-α, we demonstrated that the expression of a single transcription factor, the estrogen receptor-α (ERα), can reroute the TGF-α mitogenic signaling toward a path leading to differentiation. With selected mutations in ERα and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3), we demonstrated that the blockade of TGF-α mitotic potential was not dependent on ERα DNA binding activity but required a transcriptionally active Stat3. In neuroblastoma cells, 17β-estradiol treatment induced a transient increase in the transcription of estrogen-responsive element-containing promoters including those regulating TGF-α and prothymosin α synthesis. Based on the data presented, we hypothesized that in the presence of prothymosin α, ERα activates its direct target genes and increases cell proliferation, whereas in the presence of high levels of TGF-α, ERα preferentially interacts with Stat3 and causes cell differentiation. Our results reveal a novel form of “end-product” regulation of an intracellular receptor that occurs through recruitment of membrane receptors and their signaling effector system. Cross-coupling between membrane and intracellular receptors has been described by several laboratories. This study proves the relevance of these interactions in cellular responses to growth factors.
