Endocrine disruptors (EDs) are a great concern throughout the world, because they have adverse effects on human health and wildlife. In the present study, we investigated the effects of EDs on the proliferation and survival of murine neural stem cells (NSCs). In contrast to bisphenol A, phthalic acid benzyl n-butyl ester, phthalic acid di-n-butyl ester and phthalic acid di(2-ethylhexyl) ester, the treatment of NSCs with 4-nonylphenol for 24 h inhibited cell growth in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, treatment with 4-nonylphenol resulted in nuclear condensation and DNA fragmentation (morphological changes due to apoptosis) in NSCs after 12 h of exposure, and activated caspase-3 after 6 h and 9 h of exposure. Furthermore, an exposure to 4-nonylphenol led to the accumulation of cells at the G2/M phase interface and down-regulated the protein levels of cyclin A and B1, which are the major regulatory proteins at the G2 to M transition of the cell cycle. Together, these results indicate that, in contrast to other EDs, 4-nonylphenol may exhibit a potent cytotoxicity through apoptosis via the caspase cascade and cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, and suggest that 4-nonylphenol may affect neurogenesis in the CNS. 相似文献

Under physiological conditions, small amounts of free arachidonic acid (AA) are released from membrane phospholipids, and cyclooxygenase (COX) and acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) competitively act on this fatty acid to form prostaglandins (PGs) and arachidonoyl-CoA (AA-CoA). To explore the possible actions of endocrine disruptors on the metabolic fate of free AA into these two pathways, we investigated the effects of nonylphenol (NP), bisphenol A (BPA), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), benzyl-n-butyl phthalate (BBP) and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) on the formation of PG and AA-CoA from 5 microM AA (close to the physiological concentration of the substrate) in rabbit kidney medulla microsomes. The kidney medulla microsomes were incubated with 5 microM [(14)C]-AA in 0.1 M Tris/HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing cofactors of COX (reduced glutathione and hydroquinone) and cofactors of ACS (ATP, MgCl(2) and CoA). After incubation, PG (as total PGs) and AA-CoA were separated by selective extraction using petroleum ether and ethyl acetate. NP (1-200 microM) strongly enhanced the AA-CoA formation with a coincident decrease in the PG formation. BPA, DBP, BBP and DEHP failed to show any effect on the PG and AA-CoA formation up to 200 microM. Experiments utilizing 60 microM AA as the substrate concentration indicated that, under a low concentration of AA, NP decreases PG formation by inhibiting the COX activity, and reduces the AA flow into the COX pathway through inhibition on the COX activity, increasing availability of the substrate for the ACS and leading to enhanced AA-CoA formation. These results firstly show that NP has the potential to disturb the balance of PG and AA-CoA formations under normal physiological conditions. 相似文献

Enhanced expression of laccase during the degradation of endocrine disrupting chemicals in Trametes versicolor 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A putative laccase cDNA from a white-rot basidiomycete, Trametes versicolor, that consisted of 1,769 nucleotides was cloned using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE)-PCR method. The deduced amino acid sequence had 4 putative copper binding regions, which are common to fungal laccases. In addition, the sequence was 57 approximately 97 % homologous to sequences of other T. versicolor laccases. Additionally, the expression of laccase and manganese peroxidase in this fungus were both greatly increased under degrading conditions for bisphenol A, nonylphenol and two phthalic esters (benzylbutylphthalate and diethylphthalate), all of which are reportedly endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Furthermore, the estrogenic activities of the EDCs also decreased rapidly during incubation when examined in a two-hybrid yeast system. Finally, kojic acid inhibited the removal of estrogenic activities generated by bisphenol A and nonylphenol, which confirmed that laccase was involved in the degradation of EDCs in T. versicolor. 相似文献

The degradation of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and its intermediary hydrolysis products 2-ethylhexanol (2-EH) and mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) was investigated in a methanogenic phthalic acid ester-degrading enrichment culture at 37°C. 2-Ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA), a plausible degradation product of 2-EH, was also studied. The culture readily degraded 2-EH via 2-EHA to methane which was formed in stoichiometric amounts assuming complete degradation of 2-EH to methane and carbon dioxide. MEHP was degraded to stoichiometric amounts of methane with phthalic acid as a transient intermediate. DEHP remained unaffected throughout the experimental period (330 days).Abbreviations 2-EH

The ability of white rot fungi (WRF) and their lignin modifying enzymes (LMEs), i.e. laccase and lignin‐ and manganese‐dependent peroxidase, to treat endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is extensively reviewed in this paper. These chemicals cause adverse health effects by mimicking endogenous hormones in receiving organisms. The alkylphenolic EDCs nonylphenol, bisphenol A and triclosan, the phthalic acid esters dibutylphthalate, diethylphthalate and di‐(2‐ethylhexyl)phthalate, the natural estrogens estrone, 17β‐estradiol, estriol and 17α‐ethynylestradiol and the phytoestrogens genistein and β‐sitosterol have been shown to be eliminated by several fungi and LMEs. WRF have manifested a highly efficient removal of EDCs in aqueous media and soil matrices using both LME and non LME‐systems. The ligninolytic system of WRF could also be used for the elimination of several EDCs and the associated hormone‐mimicking activity. The transformation of EDCs by LMEs and WRF is supported by emerging knowledge on the physiology and biochemistry of these organisms and the biocatalytic properties of their enzymes. Due to field reaction conditions, which drastically differ from laboratory conditions, further efforts will have to be directed towards developing robust and reliable biotechnological processes for the treatment of EDC‐contaminated environmental matrices. 相似文献

Phthalates such as dimethyl phthalate, dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), diethyl phthalate (DEP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) are degraded to varying degrees under anaerobic conditions in waste treatment systems. Here we kinetically analyse the enzymatic hydrolyses involved and the subsequent stoichiometric reactions. The resulting model indicates that the degradation of the alcohols released and the transformation of the phthalic acid (PA) result in biphasic kinetics for the methane formation during transformation of DMT, DEP and MEHP. The ester hydrolysis and the PA transformation to methane appear to be the two rate-limiting steps. The PA-fermenting bacteria, which have biomass-specific growth rates between 0.04 and 0.085 day−1, grow more slowly than the other bacteria involved. Anaerobic microorganisms that remove intermediate products during phthalic acid ester conversion appear to be important for the efficiency of the ultimate phthalate degradation and to be inhibited by elevated hydrogen partial pressures. The model was based on (and the simulations corresponded well with) data obtained from experimental waste treatment systems. 相似文献

The dental restorative monomer, BISGMA (2,2-bis[4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloxypropoxy)phenyl]propane), and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) increase the velocity of the reaction catalyzed by pancreatic cholesterol esterase (CEase, bovine). The metabolite of these monomers, bisphenol A bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl) ether, and a common plasticizer, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), also increase the velocity of CEase-catalyzed ester hydrolysis. BISGMA at concentrations of 1.5-8.0 microM increases the velocity to 126-169% of its value in the absence of BISGMA. Increasing BISGMA above 8 microM caused no further increase in velocity. BADGE at 7-25 microM increases the velocity to 112-205% of its value without BADGE. The metabolite of BISGMA and BADGE at concentrations of 2.0-7.1 microM increases the velocity to 103-113% of its value without metabolite. DEHP at concentrations of 0.52-4.3 microM increases the velocity to 108-187% of its value without DEHP. On the other hand, bisphenol A dimethacrylate is a competitive inhibitor of CEase, with a K(i) of 3.1 microM. 相似文献

A series of cinnamic acid derivatives were synthesized and their biological abilities on lipoprotein metabolism were examined. Among the tested compounds, 4-hydroxycinnamic acid (l-phenylalanine methyl ester) amide (1) and 3,4-dihydroxyhydrocinammic acid (l-aspartic acid dibenzyl ester) amide (2) inhibited human acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase-1 and -2 activities with apparent IC(50) around 60 and 95 microM, respectively. Compounds 1 and 2 also served as an antioxidant against copper mediated low-density lipoproteins (LDL) oxidation with apparent IC(50)=52 and 3 microM, compound 1 and 2, respectively. Additionally, decrease of HDL-particle size under presence of LDL was inhibited by the 1 at 307 microM of final concentration. Treatment of the 1 or 2 did not influence normal growth of RAW264.7 without detectable cytotoxic activity from a cell viability test. These results suggest that the new cinnamic acid derivatives possess useful biological activity as an anti-atherosclerotic agent with inhibition of cellular cholesterol storage and transport by the both ACAT, inhibition of LDL-oxidation, HDL particle size rearrangement. 相似文献

Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate and trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate, two apparently nongenotoxic carcinogens, were tested for effects on gap-junctional communication between Chinese hamster V79 lung fibroblasts. Both compounds inhibited gap-junctional communication in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibiting effects of these chemicals on gap-junctional communication in vitro correlate with their tumor-promoting activity. Such results further support the hypothesis that inhibition of gap-junctional communication is an in vitro biomarker for some tumor-promoting chemicals.Abbreviations CAS

We have previously reported that the administration of a large amount of di(n-butyl)phthalate (DBP) increased the conversion ratio of tryptophan to niacin in rats. In the present experiment, the effect of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) on the conversion ratio and how altering the conversion ratio of tryptophan to niacin depended on the concentration of DEHP were investigated to elucidate the toxic mechanism of phthalic acid esters (PhE). Rats were fed with a diet containing 0%, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, or 3.0% DEHP for 21 days. To assess the conversion ratio of tryptophan to niacin, urine samples were collected at the last day of the experiment and measured for metabolites on the tryptophan-niacin pathway. The conversion ratio increased with increasing dietary concentration of DEHP above 0.05%; the conversion ratio was about 2% in the control group, whereas it was 28% in the 3.0% DEHP group. It is suggested that the inhibition of alpha-amino-beta-carboxymuconate-epsilon-semialdehyde decarboxylase (ACMSD) by DEHP or its metabolites caused this increase in the conversion ratio. We conclude that PhE such as DEHP and DBP disturbed the tryptophan-niacin metabolism. 相似文献

The degradation of bisphenol A and nonylphenol involves the unusual rearrangement of stable carbon-carbon bonds. Some nonylphenol isomers and bisphenol A possess a quaternary alpha-carbon atom as a common structural feature. The degradation of nonylphenol in Sphingomonas sp. strain TTNP3 occurs via a type II ipso substitution with the presence of a quaternary alpha-carbon as a prerequisite. We report here a new degradation pathway of bisphenol A. Consequent to the hydroxylation at position C-4, according to a type II ipso substitution mechanism, the C-C bond between the phenolic moiety and the isopropyl group of bisphenol A is broken. Besides the formation of hydroquinone and 4-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)phenol as the main metabolites, further compounds resulting from molecular rearrangements consistent with a carbocationic intermediate were identified. Assays with resting cells or cell extracts of Sphingomonas sp. strain TTNP3 under an (18)O(2) atmosphere were performed. One atom of (18)O(2) was present in hydroquinone, resulting from the monooxygenation of bisphenol A and nonylphenol. The monooxygenase activity was dependent on both NADPH and flavin adenine dinucleotide. Various cytochrome P450 inhibitors had identical inhibition effects on the conversion of both xenobiotics. Using a mutant of Sphingomonas sp. strain TTNP3, which is defective for growth on nonylphenol, we demonstrated that the reaction is catalyzed by the same enzymatic system. In conclusion, the degradation of bisphenol A and nonylphenol is initiated by the same monooxygenase, which may also lead to ipso substitution in other xenobiotics containing phenol with a quaternary alpha-carbon. 相似文献

para-Nonylphenol (NP) showed a dose-dependent inhibition against the cell growth of Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus at 5-100 microM. However, other typical plastic-derived endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol A and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) did not significantly affect the cell growth of these bacteria at 5-100 microM. The NP-induced cell growth inhibition was restored when concomitantly supplemented with lipophilic antioxidants such as alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene, but not with hydrophilic antioxidants, ascorbic acid and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). NP also suppressed in a dose-dependent manner cellular oxygen consumption and glucose-induced proton extrusion of these bacteria at 10-100 microM. Both effects were prevented when added with alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene, but not with ascorbic acid and EGCG. The significance of these results is discussed from the viewpoint of environmental microbiology and a possible biochemical mechanism of the inhibitory effect of NP is suggested. 相似文献

A new class of regioisomeric acyclic triaryl (Z)-olefins possessing a 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl (DTBHP) 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) pharmacophore that is vicinal to a para-methanesulfonylphenyl cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) pharmacophore were designed for evaluation as selective COX-2 and/or 5-LOX inhibitors. The target compounds were synthesized via a highly stereoselective McMurry olefination cross-coupling reaction. This key synthetic step afforded a (Z):(E) olefinic mixture with a predominance for the (Z)-olefin stereoisomer. Structure-activity studies for the (Z)-1-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(4-methanesulfonylphenyl)-1-phenylalk-1-ene regioisomers showed that COX-1 inhibition decreased, COX-2 inhibition increased, and the COX-2 selectivity index (SI) increased as the chain length of the alkyl substituent attached to the olefinic double bond was increased (Et-->n-butyl-->n-heptyl). In this group of compounds, inhibition of both 5-LOX and 15-LOX was dependent upon the length of the alkyl substituent with the hex-1-ene compound 9c having a n-butyl substituent exhibiting potent inhibition of both 5-LOX (IC50=0.3 microM) and 15-LOX (IC50=0.8 microM) relative to the inactive (IC50>10 microM) Et and n-heptyl analogs. Compound 9c is of particular interest since it also exhibits a dual inhibitory activity against the COX (COX-1 IC50=3.0 microM, and COX-2 IC50=0.36 microM, COX-2 SI=8.3) isozymes. A comparison of the relative inhibitory activities of the two groups of regioisomers investigated shows that the regioisomers in which the alkyl substituent is attached to the same olefinic carbon atom (C-2) as the para-methanesulfonylphenyl moiety generally exhibit a greater potency with respect to COX-2 inhibition. The 4-hydroxy substituent in the 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl moiety is essential for COX and LOX inhibition since 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-acetoxyphenyl derivatives were inactive inhibitors. These structure-activity data indicate acyclic triaryl (Z)-olefins constitute a suitable template for the design of dual COX-2/LOX inhibitors. 相似文献

The widely used plasticizer di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), its hydrolysis products mono(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (MEHP) and 2-ethylhexanol, and also phthalic acid have been tested for clastogenic activity in cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Only MEHP was found to cause chromosome damage. MEHP was without effect in the SCE and HGPRT mutation test in CHO cells. The clastogenicity of MEHP suggests a role for this compound in the observed carcinogenicity of DEHP and its positive effect in the dominant lethal assay. 相似文献

High glucuronidation activity of environmental estrogens in the carp (Cyprinus carpino) intestine 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Many adverse effects on carp reproductive organs have been reported to be caused by exposure to environmental estrogens, such as nonylphenol and bisphenol A, which contaminate the aquatic environment. The glucuronidation activities of xenoestrogens (bisphenol A and diethylstilbestrol) and phytoestrogens (coumestrol, genistein and biochanin A), but not nonylphenol and octylphenol, were observed in microsomes prepared from carp organs. The highest levels of glucuronidation of environmental estrogens, for which the optimum temperature was 25-30 degrees C, were observed in the intestinal microsomes of 2-year-old carp. These activities in carp intestine increased developmentally, and the maximum levels corresponded to 5-10 % of that in rat liver microsomes. However, the glucuronidation of phytoestrogen by carp intestinal microsomes corresponded to that of rat liver microsomes. Only bisphenol A-glucuronide was excreted from the everted intestine, indicating that bisphenol A is metabolized in the carp intestine mainly as glucuronide.These results suggest that glucuronidation by carp intestine plays an important role for the detoxification of xenoestrogens and phytoestrogens, except for nonylphenol and octylphenol. 相似文献

A series of 3-(2-methoxytetrahydrofuran-2-yl)pyrazoles (4–10) was synthesized. The compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity in human whole blood (HWB). The compound, 5-(4-methanesulfonylphenyl)-3-(2-methoxytetrahydrofuran-2-yl)-1-p-tolyl-1H-pyrazole 5 showed potent and selective COX-2 inhibition (IC50 for COX-1: >100 μM and COX-2: 1.2 μM). 相似文献

The effects of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, a typical peroxisomal proliferator, on the activities of key enzymes in the glycerophospholipid synthetic pathway and the incorporation of lipid precursors into liver lipids in vitro were studied periodically in rats. When di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate was fed at the 1% level to rats, glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase activity increased 2-3-fold in liver homogenates and microsomes in 2-4 days. The specific activity of microsomal CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase increased by 1.5-fold, whereas the cytosolic activity was depressed. The microsomal CDPcholine:diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase specific activity decreased, whereas the activity in the homogenates increased, suggesting the proliferation of the hepatic endoplasmic reticulum in di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate-treated rats. The incorporation of [1(3)-3H]glycerol or [1-14C]acetate into liver phospholipids in vitro increased in 2 days and stayed at a high level up to 12 days. The present study confirmed that di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate induced an enhancement of phospholipid synthesis in the liver. The increase in hepatic phospholipid synthesis by this drug is presumably linked to the proliferation of peroxisomes and other intracellular membranes. 相似文献

We studied the accumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and phthalic acid esters (PAEs) in a latosolic red soil and radish (Raphanus sativus) with application of sewage sludge at rates of 10, 20 and 40 g kg(-1) soil or compost at rate of 10 g kg(-1) soil. In radish the concentrations of individual PAHs and PAEs varied from non-detectable to 803 microg kg(-1) dry weight (d.w.) and from non-detectable to 2048 microg kg(-1) d.w., respectively. Compared to the control, higher application rates of sewage sludge resulted in pronounced increases in shoot, root and soil concentrations of PAHs and PAEs. PAE concentrations in radish grown in soil spiked with sludge compost were higher while the PAH concentrations were comparable to those receiving 10 g kg(-1) of sewage sludge. However, the root biomass of radish in soil amended with compost was significantly higher and the shoot-to-root ratio was significantly lower than in the other treatments. The bioconcentration factors (BCFs, the ratio of contaminant concentration in plant tissue to the soil concentration) of di-n-butyl phthalate and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate in both shoots and roots and of total PAH concentrations in roots were less than 1.0, but some BCFs for individual PAHs were high with a maximum value of 80. 相似文献
