Abstract The observation that a person’s sex influences the onset age of schizophrenia, the course of the disease, and antipsychotic treatment response suggests a possible role for estrogen receptors in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Indeed, treatment with adjunctive estrogen or selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are known to reduce schizophrenia symptoms. While estrogen receptors (ER)α and ERβ have been studied, a third and more recently discovered estrogen receptor, the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER), has been largely neglected. GPER is a membrane receptor that regulates non-genomic estrogen functions, such as the modulation of emotion and inflammatory response. This review discusses the possible role of GPER in brain impairments seen in schizophrenia and in its potential as a therapeutic target. We conducted a comprehensive literature search in the PubMed/MEDLINE database, using the following search terms: “Schizophrenia,” “Psychosis,” “GPER1 protein,” “Estrogen receptors,” “SERMS,” “GPER1 agonism, “Behavioral symptoms,” “Brain Inflammation.” Studies involving GPER in schizophrenia, whether preclinical or human studies, have been scarce, but the results are encouraging. Agonism of the GPER receptor could prove to be an essential mechanism of action for a new class of “anti-schizophrenia” drugs.

Estrogen is involved in numerous physiological and pathophysiological systems. Its role in driving estrogen receptor-expressing breast cancers is well established, but it also has important roles in a number of other cancers, acting both on tumor cells directly as well as in the function of multiple cells of the tumor microenvironment, including fibroblasts, immune cells, and adipocytes, which can greatly impact carcinogenesis. One of its receptors, the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), has gained much interest over the last decade in both health and disease. Increasing evidence shows that GPER contributes to clinically observed endocrine therapy resistance in breast cancer while also playing a complex role in a number of other cancers. Recent discoveries regarding the targeting of GPER in combination with immune checkpoint inhibition, particularly in melanoma, have led to the initiation of the first Phase I clinical trial for the GPER-selective agonist G-1. Furthermore, its functions in metabolism and corresponding pathophysiological states, such as obesity and diabetes, are becoming more evident and suggest additional therapeutic value in targeting GPER for both cancer and other diseases. Here, we highlight the roles of GPER in several cancers, as well as in metabolism and immune regulation, and discuss the therapeutic value of targeting this estrogen receptor as a potential treatment for cancer as well as contributing metabolic and inflammatory diseases and conditions.
