双酚A(bisphenol A,BPA)是一种代表性的环境雌激素,其广泛使用所造成的严重危害越来越引起人们的关注。双酚A主要通过结合雌激素受体来干扰内源性雌激素的正常生理功能。大量研究结果表明,大脑发育关键期双酚A暴露不仅会影响神经干细胞的增殖,还会对其树突发育造成不可逆的危害;同时,在一定程度上影响少突胶质细胞、星型胶质细胞等神经胶质细胞的发育及功能。因此,深入探究临界期双酚A暴露对神经系统的影响及其具体的分子机制十分必要。 相似文献

环境雌激素双酚A对脑和行为发育的影响 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
双酚A是一种具有代表性的环境内分泌干扰物, 其广泛使用引起的对人类和野生动物的危害不容忽视. 双酚A具有类雌激素和抗雌激素活性, 可与雌激素受体结合, 模拟或干扰体内雌激素的合成、代谢和活动, 从而影响机体的生理功能. 在脑发育过程中, 双酚A不仅影响脑内雌激素合成关键酶芳香化酶的表达和活性, 还可改变不同脑区雌激素受体(ERα和ERβ)的表达, 并因此放大或干扰雌激素对脑发育的调节作用. 经典的雌激素核受体机制和非基因组细胞信号系统均参与双酚A对脑发育的影响. 许多脑区特别是与行为相关的如下丘脑、脑干蓝斑、皮层和海马等脑区的结构、递质系统等发育受双酚A影响, 干扰其发育的性别分化, 并因此影响生殖行为、探究、焦虑和学习记忆等多种神经行为的性别分化. 双酚A影响脑发育的细胞、脑区和时间特异性, 以及对脑发育过程影响的动态变化, 使双酚A对脑发育的影响非常复杂. 发育中的脑对双酚A特别敏感, 低于环境排放安全标准剂量的双酚A已可影响脑和行为的发育. 因此, 双酚A环境排放安全标准的重新制定非常必要, 而对双酚A毒理学的进一步实验研究和流行病学研究将有助于其环境排放安全新标准的确定. 相似文献

Rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus) is a tiny Chinese carp that has a short life cycle and is easily cultured in the laboratory. In this study, juvenile rare minnows were exposed to waterborne diethylstilbestrol (DES) at 0.05, 0.5 and 5 microg/l in laboratory aquaria. After exposure for 4, 8, 13 and 21 days, juvenile fish were collected and vitellogenin (Vtg) was measured in whole body homogenates. Native and SDS electrophoresis followed by Western blotting were performed for Vtg identification, and a non-competitive ELISA was developed. In the DES exposure groups (0.5 and 5 microg/l DES), Vtg appeared after 4 days, increased significantly after 8 days and reached a maximum on day 13. Further, a significant increase in the hepatosomatic index (HSI) was found in the 5 microg/l DES exposure group after 21 days. These results indicate that rare minnow provides a good model for assessing endocrine disruption by environmental estrogens. 相似文献

A model for environmental sex reversal in fish 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A mathematical model is presented which combines genetic XX-female/XY-male sex determination with environmental pressure for phenotypic sex reversal. This may occur when fishes are exposed to endocrine disrupters, specifically masculinization by exposure to androgens and feminization by exposure to estrogens. A generic model is derived for the sex ratio in successive generations and three special cases, with chronic and constant pressure to sex reverse, are discussed in detail. These show that, with extreme environmental pressure to masculinize, the male genotype is at risk of dying out but with less extreme pressure, masculinization will not be detectable since the proportion of phenotypic males becomes one-half. With feminization at any pressure to sex reverse, the male and female genotypes will be maintained in a stable sex ratio in which the proportion of genotypic males exceeds one-half and is close to one-half if YY offspring (eggs) are not viable. In converse, the model is also applicable to the genetic ZZ-male/ZW-female system of sex determination in fish. At present suitable data are not available with which to validate the model, but proposals are made for relevant experimental studies. 相似文献

There is an abundance of experimental studies and reviews that describe odorant-mediated behaviors of fish in laboratory microcosms,
but research in natural field conditions has received considerably less attention. Fish pheromone studies in laboratory settings
can be highly productive and allow for controlled experimental designs; however, laboratory tanks and flumes often cannot
replicate all the physical, physiological and social contexts associated with natural environments. Field experiments can
be a critical step in affirming and enhancing understanding of laboratory discoveries and often implicate the ecological significance
of pheromones employed by fishes. When findings from laboratory experiments have been further tested in field environments,
often different and sometimes contradictory conclusions are found. Examples include studies of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) mating pheromones and fish alarm substances. Here, we review field research conducted on fish pheromones and alarm substances,
highlighting the following topics: (1) contradictory results obtained in laboratory and field experiments, (2) how environmental
context and physiological status influences behavior, (3) challenges and constraints of aquatic field research and (4) innovative
techniques and experimental designs that advance understanding of fish chemical ecology through field research. 相似文献

Environmental estrogens are ubiquitous in the environment and can cause detrimental effects on male reproduction. In fish, a multitude of effects from environmental estrogens have been observed including altered courting behavior and fertility, sex reversal, and gonadal histopathology. However, few studies in fish assess the impacts of estrogenic exposure on a physiological endpoint, such as reproduction, as well as the associated morphologic response and underlying global gene expression changes. This study assessed the implications of a 14 day sub-chronic exposure of ethinylestradiol (EE2; 1.0 or 10.0 µg/L EE2) on male medaka fertility, testicular histology and testicular gene expression. The findings demonstrate that a 14 day exposure to EE2 induced impaired male reproductive capacity and time- and dose-dependent alterations in testicular morphology and gene expression. The average fertilization rate/day following the exposure for control, 1.0 and 10.0 µg/L EE2 was 91.3% (±4.4), 62.8% (±8.3) and 28.8% (±5.8), respectively. The testicular morphologic alterations included increased germ cell apoptosis, decreased germinal epithelium and thickening of the interstitium. These changes were highly associated with testicular gene expression changes using a medaka-specific microarray. A pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes emphasized genes and pathways associated with apoptosis, cell cycle and proliferation, collagen production/extracellular matrix organization, hormone signaling, male reproduction and protein ubiquitination among others. These findings highlight the importance of anchoring global gonadal gene expression changes with morphology and ultimately with tissue/organ function. 相似文献

Exposure with the environmental estrogen bisphenol A disrupts the male reproductive tract in young mice 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Environmental estrogens (endocrine disruptive chemicals) have been shown to affect reproduction in wild life and it has been reported that maternal exposure with those chemicals have adverse effects on the male reproductive tract. However, little is known about the potential effects of prepubertal or pubertal exposure with environmental estrogens on the male reproductive tract. Here we examine plasma hormone levels and histology in the testis of mice following either 4- or 8-week oral administration of bisphenol A. Plasma free testosterone levels were dramatically decreased following 8 weeks of bisphenol A treatment compared with control group and morphologically multinucleated giant cells having greater than three nuclei were found in seminiferous tubules in the testis following the 8-week bisphenol A treatment. No differences in plasma corticosterone and luteinizing hormone levels were seen between bisphenol A and control groups. Thus, exposure with bisphenol A around pubertal period may directly disrupt the male reproductive tract. These facts suggest that more detailed studies will warrant the assessment of the risk to the developing human testis from exposure to bisphenol A and other environmental estrogens in prepubertal and pubertal period. 相似文献

Environmental estrogens Endocrine disrupters are environmental substances which interfere with the hormone system of organisms and thereby induce adverse effects. They exert their biological activity either by disrupting hormone metabolism or by imitating the biological action of the endogenous hormones. In the aquatic environment, an important group of endocrine disrupters is represented by the estrogen‐active compounds, which mimic the female sex hormone, 17β‐estradiol. Both laboratory experiments and field studies on fishes have demonstrated that already very low concentrations of environmental estrogens are able to induce disturbances in the hormone system and hormone‐regulated processes of fishes. 相似文献

Thermal discharge from power stations can affect normal environmental conditions and change in heat shock proteins expression of native fish with increasing temperature. In this study, we investigated levels of Hsp70 in the heart, kidney, brain and gill of the common carp Cyprinus carpio both in long-term heat discharge environment and after 24 h acute heat shock exposure. In laboratory exposure experiments, fish acclimated at 10 degrees C were exposed to various elevated temperatures (20, 24 and 28 degrees C). Hsp70 concentrations were determined in tissues by Western blotting analysis after one dimensional SDS-PAGE separation. In the field study, the level of Hsp70 in the gill of the carp remained at control values, and Hsp70 expression in the heart, kidney and brain underwent a 2.8 to 3.7-fold increase. A lower thermal sensitivity of the Hsp70 response of the brain, compared with the heart, kidney and gill, was observed in the laboratory experiments. Our data show that these tissues had different levels of Hsp70 responses to thermal influence both in acute exposure and long-term acclimation. The pattern of tissue Hsp70 expression may have a close relationship with the thermal tolerance of the carp and allows the fish to survive long-term thermal pollution. 相似文献

Skin samples were taken, during the post-spawning period, from Pseudopleuronectes americanus maintained in both stationary and in running-water systems, and after exposure to Venezuelan crude oil in each system. Comparisons with skin taken freshly from an inshore population revealed that dissociation of epidermal tissue, epidermal thinning and reduced epidermal melanophore frequency normally associated with the postspawning period were not so apparent after laboratory confinement and were even less pronounced after exposure to crude oil. In post-spawned, laboratory maintained flounders, there was also correlation between epidermal thickness and the weight of the fish. Indications from the stationary system suggest that stress associated with environmental conditions may evoke mucigenesis in the superficial epidermal cells as distinct from the goblet cells. 相似文献
