While the presence of steroid estrogens in the environment has become a major environmental and health concern, their occurrence in coastal sediments remains poorly characterized. In this study, we measured the levels of three natural (estrone, 17β-estradiol, estriol) and one synthetic (17α-ethinylestradiol) estrogens in 54 coastal sediment samples collected from nine locations off central-southern Chile. Steroid estrogens were found in every sample. Remarkably high levels of 17α-ethinylestradiol were detected, reaching up to 48.14 ng/g dry weight. As a result, the global estrogenic loads were estimated to be high at all sites. Interestingly, they were found to correlate with the size of human populations served by sewage plants. Our study indicates that 17α-ethinylestradiol may accumulate in coastal sediments. The possible impact of this highly potent synthetic estrogen on the biota of the marine ecosystem off central-south Chile and on human health remains an open question. 相似文献

三丁基锡(Tributyltin,TBT)能够影响鱼类生殖功能,而有关TBT对鱼类生殖细胞发育至关重要的雄激素和雌激素受体的影响还未见报道。本实验以海洋经济鱼类褐菖鲉(Sebastiscus marmoratus)为对象,研究环境水平TBT(1,10和100ng/L)对精巢雄激素和雌激素受体表达的影响。结果表明,TBT暴露能够抑制褐菖鲉精巢发育和精巢雌激素受体蛋白的水平,并且发现雌激素受体主要定位于精巢精小叶腔间隙。小叶腔间隙的雌激素受体蛋白水平降低可能影响支持细胞和间隙细胞的正常功能,从而影响精巢的正常发育。TBT暴露对雄激素受体的表达并没有显著的影响。该结果为全面了解TBT产生鱼类生殖毒性效应、途径和机制提供了新的重要的资料。 相似文献

A reversed‐phase fractionation method with subsequent biological and chemical analysis has been developed to estimate the contributions of the most potent estrogens to observed estrogenic effect potentials. Surface water samples were taken in the German Baltic Sea (Inner Wismar Bay and Darss Peninsula, sampling campaign July 2003) and were separated into seven individual fractions. Three fractions showed significant estrogenic activities and clear dose‐dependant responses were obtained in the yeast estrogen screen (YES). In the 2nd fractions liquid chromatographic‐electrospray‐tandem mass spectrometric (LC‐ESI‐MS‐MS) analyses showed the presence of bisphenol A (Inner Wismar Bay: 4.8 ng L–1 and 6 ng L–1; Darss Peninsula: 0.91 ng L–1 and 1.7 ng L–1) and ethinylestradiol (Inner Wismar Bay: 2.0 ng L–1 and 6.0 ng L–1; Darss Peninsula: < MDL and 1.7 ng L–1), whereas estrogenic activities in the YES were only around 10% of the positive control E2. Although not identified prior in the total extract the natural hormones estradiol (Inner Wismar Bay: 0.13 ng L–1 and 0.19 ng L–1; Darss Peninsula: 0.12 ng L–1 and 0.16 ng L–1) and estriol (Inner Wismar Bay: < MDL and 0.33 ng L–1; Darss Peninsula: < MDL) could be detected in the 3rd fractions, where high estrogenic potentials could be observed. The 4th fractions showed high responses as well and estrone were herein quantified with concentrations of 0.16 ng L–1 and 0.18 ng L–1 (Darss Peninsula) up to 0.37 ng L–1 (Inner Wismar Bay). Measured and calculated estradiol equivalents for individual fractions correlated very well (R2 = 0.78), when disregarding results of the 2nd fraction, where high deviations occurred. 相似文献

Livestock wastes applied to agricultural land are potential sources of steroidal hormones （estradiol （E2）, estrone （E1）, and estriol （E3）） that can adversely affect the aquatic ecosystem as endocrine disruptors. But the effects of plants on the fate of estrogen in the environment are not clearly known. In the present report, the behavior of E1, E2 and E3 added to the rhizospheric soil in various concentrations and its effect on plant growth were examined by estrogen batch sorption test, plant pot test and estrogen extraction test. Trifolium repens was grown on the soil spiked with E2 or a mixture of E1, E2 and E3. Pots without plant were prepared as controls. All pots were watered in 50 ml dose almost every day, and the rhizosheric soil and plant body were collected 7, 19, 26, 33 days after planting. The soil was sequentially extracted with Milli-Q water, and methanol / 1M acetic acid solvent followed by methanol wash at the solid to liquid ratio of 1 ： 4 （g/mL）. Extracts were analyzed for El, E2 and E3 using a Shimadzu GCMS-QP5050. Plant dry weight （4 hours, 105 ℃） was measured as an indicator of plant growth. In batch sorption tests, E1 and E2 concentrations in the liquid phase significantly decreased within 24 hours after the addition of estrogen. The sum of methanol / 1M acetic acid extractable E 1 and E2 in the soil decreased to half of the initial added amount within 7 days. Reduction in total estrogenic activity of the soil extracts （estimated as 0.01CE1＋CE2＋0.1CE3 where CE1, CE2 and CE3 are respective El, E2 and E3 concentrations per unit soil weight） continued for 1 month due to slow oxidation of E2 to E1. Desorption of E2 from soil during the pot experiment was higher than expected from the sorption experiment. 相似文献

Removal of natural free estrogens and estrogen conjugates in a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was investigated and analyzed by GC‐MS, in which estrogen conjugates were first transformed to their corresponding free estrogens with an acid solvolysis procedure before their analysis. Natural free estrogens, E1‐3‐sulfate (E1‐3S), and E3‐3‐sulfate (E3‐3S) were detected with high concentrations in both the influent and effluent of the primary settling tank (PS), while no estrogen glucuronides were detected in any of the monitored wastewater samples. Regarding their removal efficiencies, all were almost completely removed, except for E1 with only a minor decrease. The estrogenic/androgenic removal of the same WWTP was also evaluated with estrogen receptor (androgen receptor) (ER (AR))‐binding assays, in which the removal efficiencies for E2 equivalents (EEQ) or testosterone equivalents (TEQ) were 68.5 and 72.2%. In addition, the chemically calculated EEQ from natural estrogens were about 20.6–39.3% that of the ER‐binding assay, in which E3 contributed the biggest proportion in both the influent and PS, while the calculated value of E1 increased from only 6.7% in the influent to as high as 20.6% in the effluent. 相似文献

雌二醇是鱼类卵巢分泌的主要的性类固醇激素之一,在脊椎动物卵子发生、性别分化、卵黄形成、生理免疫以及中枢神经系统调节等生理过程中发挥重要的作用。许氏平鲉营胎生繁殖,且经过漫长的卵黄积累期和妊娠期,这一特殊的生殖方式使得它受到了国内外学者的广泛关注。通过分析与雌二醇合成及作用密切相关的cyp19a和Era在许氏平鲉卵巢上的定位、cyp19a和cyp19b mRNA在不同卵巢发育时期及不同组织中的表达以及不同发育期的卵巢中雌二醇含量变化,发现在卵巢发育的过程中,许氏平鲉体内雌二醇含量的峰值出现在IV期和体节期。并且cyp19a和cyp19b在卵巢中均有表达且在不同的卵巢发育期表达量不同。在卵黄积累的过程中, cyp19a和cyp19b在IV期的表达量最高,在妊娠时体节期表达量最高。不仅如此,在V期卵巢的滤泡层、基质和囊胚期的滤泡胎盘上检测到了强烈的Era的信号。这些结果说明雌二醇在胎生鱼类卵子发生及妊娠过程中均起到非常重要作用。这一研究为深入解析许氏平鲉胎生生殖特性积累了资料。 相似文献

A solid‐phase extraction (SPE)‐gas chromatography (GC)‐mass spectrometry (MS) analytical method was developed for the simultaneous analysis of natural free estrogens and their conjugates in wastewater samples. Natural free estrogens and their conjugates in wastewater were successfully separated by the oasis hydrophilic‐lipophilic balance solid phase extraction (Oasis HLB SPE) method, and the conjugates were initially enzyme hydrolyzed by β‐glucuronidase or arylsulfatase from Helix pomatia prior to derivatization. N‐methyl‐N‐(tert‐butyldimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (MTBSTFA) plus 1% tert‐butyldimetheylchlorosilane (TBDMCS) was chosen as the derivatization reagent, and the most appropriate conditions of derivatization were determined to be at 95°C for 90 min. The recovery ratios of nine target chemicals were determined by spiking them in 1 L of ultra‐purified water or the influent of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The recovery ratios of six out of nine for the analytes ranged from 73.3–114.9% with relative standard deviations (RSD) from 1.6–19.9%. The established method was successfully applied to environmental wastewater samples which were collected from one municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Osaka, Japan, for the determination of natural free estrogens and their conjugates. In the influent sample, E1, E2, E1‐3S, E3‐3S, and E1‐3G were detected at concentrations of 16.6, 9.6, 8.2, 21.9, and 3.2 ng L–1, respectively. However, only E1 was detected at a high concentration of 44 ng L–1 in the effluent sample, suggesting that it is the dominant natural free estrogen in the effluent. 相似文献

采用多模板同源建模方法构建了斑马鱼(Danio rerio)、长牡蛎(Crassostrea gigas)和菲律宾蛤仔(Ruditapes philippinarum)雌激素受体配体结合区(ER-LBD)的三维结构模型,并开展了与苯并芘(B[a]P)、四溴双酚A(TBBPA)和对壬基酚(4-NP)的分子对接研究。采用PROCHECK、ERRAT和Verify3D软件对同源模型质量进行了综合评估。研究表明:三个模型具有良好的高分辨率结构(>95%),且被合理折叠和建构。分子对接模拟发现,在激活构象中上述配体分子位于两种贝类与鱼类ER的活性配体空腔中,配体结合能的稳定性顺序为B[a]P>TBBPA>4-NP。对接分析表明,与配体结合的三个模型配体口袋的氨基酸残基高度保守,其中在活性位点处结合的主要氨基酸残基为斑马鱼Glu321、Arg362,长牡蛎Glu290、Arg331和菲律宾蛤仔Glu242、Arg283。研究结果表明,通过探究氨基酸残基所构成的空腔和配体形成的静电相互作用网络,能够确定内分泌干扰物(EDCs)对ER的优选程度,为EDCs对贝类内分泌干扰效应研究提供了理论依据和技术支撑。 相似文献
