In order to investigate the role of peroxidase-mediated metabolic activation in the mechanism of carcinogenicity of diethylstilbestrol (DES), a series of 14C-labelled analogs of DES was synthesized and their binding to DNA upon oxidation by peroxidases from horseradish or mouse uterus was studied in vitro. The compounds chosen for this study were the erythro and threo form of hexestrol (HES), the E,E- and Z,Z-isomer of dienestrol (DIES) and the mono- and dimethyl ether of DES.
Non-extractable binding to DNA was observed for all compounds with at least one free hydroxyl group independent of the stilbene structure. The extent of binding was highest for the HES isomers and for E,E-DIES, whereas Z,Z-DIES and the monomethyl ether were bound to about the extent of DES. These findings imply that the formation of a phenoxy free radical is sufficient for non-extractable DNA binding and the stilbene structure is not required for peroxidase-mediated activation of DES. 相似文献

We have used the human hepatoma cell line, Hep G2, to examine the ability of hormones and xenobiotics to modulate the hepatic induction of benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase and epoxide hydrolase. Hep G2 cells were cultured in Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum. 3-Methylcholanthrene, diethylstilbestrol, testosterone propionate, and combinations of 3-meth-ylcholanthrene, and each of the hormones were added directly to the culture media. We subsequently studied the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene using cell lysates of the Hep G2 cells. Metabolites were quantitated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using fluorodetection. Exposure to 3-methyl-cholanthrene alone resulted in an eightfold increase in total benzo(a)pyrene metabolites with a change of the predominant metabolite from the 3-hydroxy-benzo(a)pyrene to the carcinogenic pathway of the benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-diol. Diethylstilbestrol and testosterone propionate resulted in small, but significant, decreases in metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene. When exposed in combination with 3-methyl-cholanthrene, testosterone propionate antagonized and diethylstilbestrol potentiated the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene. 3-Methylcholanthrene, diethylstilbestrol, and combinations of 3-methylcholanthrene and diethylstilbestrol or testosterone propionate resulted in increased epoxide hydrolase activity as compared to controls. These results, carried out in a human hepatoma cell line, lend support to a concern for potentiated toxicity and carcinogenicity following exposure to complex chemical mixtures. 相似文献

It has been reported that acute exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) induces apoptosis in the testis, and antioxidants play a role in preventing DES-induced tissue damage. In this study, the effect of chronic exposure to DES on the antioxidants was examined in the testis and liver. Eight-week old male ICR mice were treated subcutaneously with various doses of DES for 20 days. Morphologically apparent apoptotic changes, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal-positive cells and TUNEL-positive DNA-fragmentation, were demonstrated in the testis, but were minimal in the liver. Activities of antioxidants such as glutathione (GSH) peroxidase and GSH S -transferase decreased in both the liver and testis. The activity of Mn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) decreased in the liver but increased in the testis. The activity of Cu, Zn-SOD decreased in the liver but was unchanged in the testis. On Western and Northern blots, gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase ( γ-GCS), a rate limiting enzyme of GSH synthesis, was increased in the liver dependent on the dose of DES. However, the expression of γ-GCS was reduced in the testis. Since quinones, metabolites of DES, generate reactive oxygen species, which damage DNA, antioxidants are important to prevent the damage. The data suggest that antioxidant activities are impaired by DES, and the levels of GSH are related to DES-induced apoptosis in the testis. 相似文献

目的探讨已烯雌酚对免疫性卵巢早衰小鼠卵巢颗粒细胞和卵母细胞凋亡的影响。方法以小鼠透明带3蛋白的第330~342个氨基酸的序列(NSSSSQFQIHGPR)合成透明带多肽并作免疫原,免疫SPF级BALB/c雌性小鼠。设对照、模型和已烯雌酚组。灌胃给药4周后,采用Tunel方法检测颗粒细胞与卵母细胞的细胞凋亡数并作统计学分析。结果已烯雌酚组可显著减少小鼠卵巢卵母细胞的凋亡率(P〈0.05)。结论已烯雌酚组能改善免疫性卵巢早衰小鼠体重降低症状并能诱导发情。已烯雌酚能改善免疫性卵巢早衰小鼠症状的机制可能是由于能有效地抑制卵母细胞的凋亡所引起的。 相似文献

Antioxidant enzyme (AE) activities were studied in normal hamster kidney proximal tubules and in estrogen-induced hamster kidney cancer. In vivo, kidney tumor had lower activities of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), copper, zinc superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase than kidney proximal tubules. Differences in AE activities were, in general, maintained in tissue culture, with AE activities remaining low in tumor cells compared to normal cells. Normal proximal tubular cells showed significant induction of MnSOD activity as a function of time in culture of following exposure to diethylstilbestrol, a synthetic estrogen, while MnSOD activity remained low in tumor cells under these conditions. Our results suggest that antioxidant enzymes, particularly MnSOD, are regulated differently in estrogen-induced hamster kidney tumor cells than in normal kidney proximal tubular cells, demonstrating that cancers arising from hormonal influence have similar AE profiles to those previously described in cancers arising from viral or chemical etiologies. 相似文献

The current study focused on galectins (-1, -3, -4, -7, and –8) and deliberately performed immunohistochemical fingerprinting to explore their complexity in a context of experimental renal carcinogenesis. The diethylstilbestrol (DES)-induced renal tumors in male Syrian hamster kidney (SHKT) represent a unique animal model for the study of estrogen-dependent renal malignancies. Kidney sections of DES-treated hamsters (3 days to 11 months of DES exposure) were analyzed by immunohistochemistry using a panel of non-crossreactive antibodies raised against galectins-1, -3, -4, -7, and -8. Levels of expression were quantitatively determined by using computer-assisted microscopy on immunostained tissue sections. Except for galectin-4, all above mentioned galectins were expressed in kidney tumors. Small clusters of galectin-1-positive, most likely preneoplastic cells at the corticomedullary junction were already evident 1 week after DES administration. Galectin-1 and -3 expression was apparently associated with the first steps of the neoplastic transformation, because small tumorous buds were found to be positive after 1 month of treatment. In contrast, galectins-7 and -8 were detected in large tumors and medium-sized tumors, respectively, thereby indicating an involvement in later stages of DES-induced SHKT. Galectins-1, -3, -7, and -8 were also detected by immunofluorescence staining in the HKT-1097 cell line established from SHKT, thus illustrating the stability of galectin expression in tumor cells. Our data document the presence and differential regulation of galectins in the course of renal tumorigenesis in the model of DES-induced SHKT. 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
