雌二醇、壬基酚和三丁基锡对草金鱼血浆卵黄蛋白原含量的联合效应

雌二醇(17β-estradiol,E2)是生物合成的天然雌激素,壬基酚(nonylphenol,NP)和三丁基锡(tributyltin,TBT)则是人工合成的环境拟雌激素和环境抗雌激素,这3种污染物在自然水体中均广泛分布,给多种水生生物的健康造成威胁,然而其共同存在下的联合效应尚不明确.本文以草金鱼(Carassius auratus)为受试生物,以鱼体血浆中卵黄蛋白原浓度为观测指标,研究雌二醇和壬基酚的雌激素活性及三丁基锡的抗雌激素活性.在单独暴露实验的基础上,研究3种污染物两两联合及三者联合条件下对雄性草金鱼卵黄蛋白原的联合诱导效应.结果表明,雌二醇和壬基酚均能显著诱导雄性草金鱼合成卵黄蛋白原,三丁基锡对雄性和雌性草金鱼卵黄蛋白原含量均无显著影响.雌二醇和壬基酚共暴露时,壬基酚能促进雌二醇的雌激素效应;雌二醇与三丁基锡共暴露时,后者可抑制雌二醇的雌激素效应;3种污染物共同暴露时,三丁基锡也表现为抗雌激素效应.但壬基酚与三丁基锡共暴露时,后者未能抑制壬基酚的雌激素效应.上述结果表明天然雌激素、拟雌激素和抗雌激素之间存在复杂的联合效应,拟雌激素和抗雌激素的毒性效应并非简单地相互抵消,因此在生态风险评价时需全面评估不同类型环境雌激素之间的复合效应.     

壬基酚和辛基酚联合暴露的血清代谢特征及生物标志物

运用代谢组学方法分析了壬基酚（NP）和辛基酚（OP）联合暴露后大鼠血清代谢成分变化,雄性SD大鼠随机分为对照组、壬基酚和辛基酚（联合染毒低剂量组（25mg/kg NP+25mg/kg OP）及高剂量组（75mg/kg NP+75mg/kg OP）.连续灌胃7d后处死.通过超高效液相色谱-飞行时间质谱（UPLC/QTOF-MS）技术获得大鼠血清的代谢指纹图谱,通过主成分分析观察了联合染毒的剂量-效应,通过t检验筛选潜在的生物标志物,并结合代谢物数据库检索对潜在的生物标志物进行鉴定.结果显示,对照组、高、低剂量组各组间代谢谱有明显差别,且随着染毒剂量的增加毒性增强,表现为剂量-效应关系.联合染毒后的血清代谢物中,含量升高的有牛黄胆酸及1-棕榈酰基磷脂酰胆碱,含量降低的有酪氨酸、5-尿苷一磷酸及硫脑苷酯,提示染毒可能对内分泌系统、心血管系统、神经系统以及核苷酸合成、糖代谢、磷脂代谢等产生不良影响.     

双酚A与内源性雌激素联合作用的探讨

为了探讨环境雌激素与内源性雌激素联合作用的生物效应,通过对鲫鱼血浆卵黄蛋白原含量的相对变化和化合物暴露浓度的非线性回归分析得出17β-雌二醇(E2) 、双酚A(BPA)及其毒性固定比例混合物雌激素效应的剂量-反应关系;应用相加作用数学模型根据单个化合物的数据可预测不同配比混合物的效应.在各个浓度范围,实验得出的混合物效应与通过浓度相加和反应相加模型计算得出的混合物效应比较,结果有很好的一致性;在较低浓度范围BPA和E2呈现相似联合作用,混合物效应大小取决于化合物的作用性质、暴露量和质量比例,表明在对环境雌激素的风险评价中应考虑污染物与内源性雌激素的联合作用.     

壬基酚对大鼠5-羟色胺分解代谢通路的影响

为探讨壬基酚对5-羟色胺(5-HT)代谢网络分解代谢通路的毒性作用机制,将24只SD雄性大鼠分为阴性对照组和壬基酚低、中、高剂量组[30,90,270mg/(kg·bw)],隔日玉米油灌胃染毒28d后检测大鼠血浆及肝匀浆中单胺氧化酶(MAO)活性和血浆中5-HT含量,并称量肝、肾和睾丸重量.结果显示,壬基酚暴露高剂量组大鼠体质量增量极显著低于对照组(P<0.01);染毒至第3周起,各组大鼠平均食物利用率有统计学意义(P<0.05);与对照组相比,高剂量组肝脏、肾脏脏器系数均有统计学意义(P<0.01),中、高剂量组睾丸脏器系数均有统计学意义(P<0.05);中、高剂量组血浆MAO酶活性极显著低于对照组(P<0.01),中、高剂量组肝匀浆MAO酶活性显著低于对照组(P<0.05);中、高剂量组血浆5-HT含量极显著高于对照组(P<0.01).壬基酚暴露剂量与大鼠体内MAO酶活性及5-HT水平均呈剂量-效应关系,壬基酚可通过分解代谢通路影响5-HT的代谢网络.     

天津野生鲫鱼卵黄蛋白原的研究

用HPLC方法提纯经雌二醇诱导的鲫鱼卵黄蛋白原,用SDS-PAGE凝胶电泳测定其分子量为160Kda左右.在建立卵黄蛋白原(VTG)的HPLC分析方法(检测下限为0.025mg/mL)的基础上,对北京排污河天津段的野生和养殖鲫鱼血浆中的VTG进行检测.在所捕获的12尾野生鲫鱼中(其中2尾为雄性鲫鱼),都检测出了VTG,浓度范围为0.284～5.971mg/mL;对同期捕获的35尾天津养殖鲫鱼包括1尾雄性鲫鱼中的VTG也进行了检测,浓度范围为0.119～0.250mg/mL.而同期在实验室饲养的雌雄鲫鱼血浆中,均未检测出VTG.结果表明,北京排污河(天津段)的野生鲫鱼受到类雌激素物质的污染.     

E2诱导的鲫鱼(Carassius auratus)幼鱼血清中卵黄蛋白原和钙含量相关性研究

用酶联免疫吸附法(ELISA)对E2诱导的鲫鱼幼鱼血清中卵黄蛋白原(VTG)进行了测定,并用原子吸收分光光度法测定了血清中的钙含量.结果表明:鲫鱼幼鱼血清中VTG和钙含量与E2的暴露剂量均有很好的剂量-效应关系.对血清中VTG和钙含量进行回归分析,发现二者具有较好的相关性,R2=0.928 7.因此,用原子吸收法测定血清中的钙含量从一定程度上可以替代ELISA法间接确定血清中的VTG含量,并对化学物质的雌激素效应进行了评价.      

酚类化合物对金鱼幼鱼的雌激素效应研究

采用金鱼（Carassius auratus）幼鱼的卵黄蛋白原（VTG）作为雌激素污染的生物标志物,评价了几种酚类化合物的雌激素效应.实验表明鲤鱼（Cyprinus carpio）VTG多克隆抗体对金鱼VTG有可识别性以及肝脏匀浆法检测金鱼体内VTG的可行性,并用酶联免疫吸附法半定量地测定了几种重要酚类物质的雌激素效应.试验结果为：半静态暴露15 d后,己烯雌酚、辛基酚、壬基酚、叔丁基试验组金鱼体内VTG均有较为明显增加;五氯酚组稍有增长,四氯酚和三氯酚与空白组无明显区别;受试化学物质雌激素效应的相对强弱为：己烯雌酚＞辛基酚＞壬基酚＞叔丁基酚＞五氯酚.

为了探讨壬基酚和辛基酚对大鼠体内(5-HT)代谢的影响,为壬基酚和辛基酚暴露标志物的鉴定提供依据.选取健康雄性Sprague Dawley大鼠35只,随机分为对照组,壬基酚、辛基酚及其联合染毒低剂量组(50 mg·kg-1·d-1),壬基酚、辛基酚及其联合染毒高剂量组(150 mg·kg-1·d-1),每组5只,连续7d灌胃染毒,建立染毒动物模型.灌胃次日,利用高效液相色谱法(HPLC)检测各组大鼠尿液中5-羟色胺(5-HT)含量.结果表明,染毒组大鼠尿液中5-HT浓度均显著高于正常对照组(p＜0.01);高剂量染毒组大鼠尿液中5-HT浓度均显著高于其低剂量染毒组(p＜0.01);染毒第7天大鼠尿液中5-HT浓度均显著高于其染毒第3天(p＜0 01)尿液中5-HT浓度随染毒剂量和染毒时间的增加而升高,有剂量-毒性效应和时间-毒性效应关系;尿液5-HT可作为评估壬基酚和辛基酚暴露的潜在生物标志物,应用于大规模人群暴露风险的监测.     

苯并[a]芘对鲫鱼生物标志物的影响研究

研究了苯并[a]芘暴露对鲫鱼(Carassius auratus)的几种生物标志物的影响.在鲫鱼接受3个不同质量分数苯并[a]芘(BaP)的腹腔注射14 d后,分析了其肝脏7-乙氧基-3-异吩噁唑酮-脱乙基酶(EROD)活性,以及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPx)等抗氧化酶活性和红细胞核异常(NA)率变化.结果显示:w(BaP)为1 mg/kg处理组的EROD活性显著升高(P＜0.001).w(BaP)为0.1和1 mg/kg处理组SOD活性显著低于对照组(P＜0.001),在暴露结束时,w(BaP)为1 mg/h处理组CAT活性显著低于对照组(P＜0.01),而w(BaP)为0.1和1 mg/kg处理组GPx活性被显著抑制(P＜0.001).表明BaP对EROD活性有诱导作用,而对SOD,CAT和GPx等抗氧化酶活性的抑制作用明显.所有处理组NA率与对照组均无显著差异.因此,鲫鱼EROD,SOD,CAT和GPx等酶活性的改变适于作为生物标志物,可以用来显示暴露于多环芳烃有机污染物鱼类的生活状态.      

实时定量RT-PCR方法评价壬基酚的雌激素效应

壬基酚是1种环境雌激素物质,以血清卵黄蛋白原作为生物标记物检测壬基酚的最低雌激素效应浓度高于10μg/L.利用亚成体青鱼进行不同浓度的(1、10、50、100μg/L)壬基酚暴露实验,运用实时定量RT-PCR方法,从分子水平上,对青鱼VTG-Ⅰ、VTG-Ⅱ、CHG-H和CHG-L的基因表达进行了研究,并对低浓度壬基酚的环境雌激素效应进行了分析.结果表明:1μg/L浓度的壬基酚暴露组青鱼肝脏的VTG-Ⅰ、VTG-Ⅱ、CHG-H、CHG-L基因表达均被显著诱导,说明实时定量RT-PCR能够检测1μg/L壬基酚     

The acute lethality and endocrine effect of 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD in juvenile goldfish （ Carassius auratus ） in vivo

1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD was administrated to juvenile goldfish （Carassius auratus） by peritoneal injections to explore the acute lethality and endocrine effects of 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD in vivo. The value of acute median lethal dosage （LD50） of 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD was determined in acute lethality tests. The endocrine effect of 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD, whose exposed concentrations were determined based on the LD50 （1.84 mg/kg）, was studied by measuring the plasma vitellogenin （Vtg） content in juvenile male goldfish with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays （ELISA）. Due to its significant induction of the plasma Vtg after one week＇s exposure in vivo in the 1/2 LD50 and LD30 groups, 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD might be one of the important contributors to the estrogenic effect of PCDDs in the environment. The values of 1/2 LD50 and LD30 were within the range of the effective dosages of 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD, indicating that there was a certain relationship between the estrogenic effective dosages and the LD50.     

Assessing the anti-estrogenic activity of sodium pentachlorophenol in primary cultures of juvenile goldfish (Carassius auratus) hepatocytes using vitellogenin as a biomarker

Both pentachlorophenol and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin （TCDD） had been studied widely because of their probable anti-estrogenic activity. Sodium pentachlorophenol （PCP-Na）, as a industrial product used in many fields, usually contains a trace of TCDD. The aim of this study was to assess the anti-estrogenic effect of PCP-Na in juvenile goldfish （Gurassius auratus） hepatocyte cultures using vitellogenin （VTG） as the biomarker. The ID50 of PCP-Na was investigated and then a series of concentrations （0.001 0.5 μg/ml） of PCP-Na were evaluated to estimate the anti-estrogenic activity. Results showed that PCP-Na was cytotoxic for hepatocytes even at very low concentration 〈1.21 μg/ml, and it could not induce VTG at any concentrations tested. Since it failed to stimulate VTG production, the possibility of its anti-estrogenic effect was tested, and a well-known anti-estrogenic compound-tamoxifen was used as positive control. PCP-Na caused a reduction in VTG synthesis in juvenile goldfish （Carassius auratus） hepatocytes at concentrations 〉0.1μg/ml when co-exposure with 1μg/ml 17β-estradiol （E2）, making its anti-estrogenic activity approximately as potent as tamoxifen. Our results indicate that PCP-Na can act as negative modulators of estrogenic function in juvenile goldfish （Carassius auratus） hepatocytes.     

四种拟除虫菊酯类农药的环境雌激素活性研究

将金鱼(Carassius auratus)分别暴露于0.1mg/L甲氰菊酯、氰戊菊酯、溴氰菊酯和0.5mg/L氯氰菊酯21d后,尾静脉取血,离心分离获得血浆,利用Western-blot方法检测金鱼血浆中是否有卵黄原蛋白产生,同时测定金鱼生殖腺指数、γ-谷氨酰转移酶和乳酸脱氢酶活性.结果表明,对照组雄性金鱼血浆中未检测到卵黄原蛋白,4种拟除虫菊酯农药均能诱导雄性金鱼分泌卵黄原蛋白,而且溴氰菊酯和氯氰菊酯明显降低了雄鱼生殖腺指数,4种农药均能够明显抑制精巢γ-谷氨酰转移酶和乳酸脱氢酶活性.由此可见,4种拟除虫菊酯类农药具有潜在的环境雌激素活性和生殖毒性.     

鲫鱼(Carassius auratus)卵黄蛋白原的ELISA检测

采用Sephadex G-200柱层析从鲫鱼(Carassius auratus)成熟鱼卵中提取卵黄脂磷蛋白并制备抗卵黄脂磷蛋白抗血清.用DEAE-cellulose阴离子交换层析和Sephacryl S-300分子筛凝胶层析相结合的两步层析从经17b-雌二醇诱导的雌鱼血浆中提纯卵黄蛋白原.免疫印迹反应显示卵黄脂磷蛋白和卵黄蛋白原都与抗卵黄脂磷蛋白抗血清有特异的反应.以抗卵黄脂磷蛋白抗血清作为抗体,卵黄蛋白原作为竞争抗原建立了间接竞争法酶联免疫吸附反应(ELISA)方法来检测雄鱼血液中卵黄蛋白原含量.该方法可测的最低浓度为7.8ng/mL,工作范围为0.39~25mg/mL,批内和批间误差分别为6.5%和7.5%.     

Combined effect of tributyltin and benzo[a] pyrene on the levels of sex hormone and vitellogenin in female Sebastiscus marmoratus

Tributyltin（TBT）, an organometal used as an antifouling biocide, has been reported to induce masculinization of fish. Benzo [a]pyrene （BaP）, a widespread carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, has been reported that its microsomal metabolites can produce an estrogenic response when tested in vitro. This study was therefore designed to examine the potential in vivo influence of TBT, BaP and their mixture on sex hormone levels in serum of Sebastiscus marmoratus, which were given 2 separate intraperitoneally （ip） injections（a single injection every 7 d） of TBT（0.5, 1, 5 and 10 mg/kg）, BaP（0.5, 1, 5 and 10 mg/kg）, or both in combination（0.5, 1, 5 and 10 mg/kg）; control fish received olive oil vehicle only. Six days after the 2nd injection, serum samples were collected and analyzed for sex hormone levels and alkali labile protein phosphorus （ALPP）, which is related to the yolk precursor protein vitellogenin. The pollutants at all doses significantly reduced serum testosterone, estradiol and ALPP content after 2 injections compared with the corresponding controls. The reduction of the estradiol levels should be response for the decrease of the vitellogenin levels. The results in the present study suggested that aromatase seems not the major target acted by TBT and BaP in fish. This study demonstrated that TBT or BaP exposure both inhibit the reproductive potential in female Sebastiscus marmoratus. Combined effect of TBT and BaP on the serum testosterone, estradiol and ALPP was not antagonism from the anticipation.     

四溴双酚A的鲫鱼血清蛋白生物标志物研究

以鲫鱼为供试生物,对四溴双酚A(TBBPA)的急性毒性、血清蛋白潜在生物标志物以及相应的毒性靶器官组织病理进行了研究,结果表明TBBPA对鲫鱼96 h的半致死浓度LC50是3.13 mg/L,TBBPA诱导下鲫鱼血清蛋白可区分为11个组分,各组分随时间和浓度的变化规律存在差异。组分11条带清晰,表达量变化幅度最大,在低浓度TBBPA暴露下表达量先降低后升高,第16天达到最高;高浓度时表达量在第2天达到最高。组分11的分子量为24 kDa,可能为鲫鱼斯坦尼小体(CS)中降血钙因子的解聚物。组织病理切片结果显示,鲫鱼肝脏和肾脏均表现出时间-剂量依赖性,且与组分11的诱导差异性表达呈现相应的病理损伤。因此,鲫鱼血清蛋白组分11对TBBPA的诱导具有浓度和时间响应敏感性,且易于识别和鉴定,可作为TBBPA暴露的鲫鱼血清蛋白潜在生物标志物。     

Immunotoxicity of bisphenol a to Carassius auratus Lymphocytes and macrophages following in vitro exposure

Bisphenol A （BPA） is the monomer component of polycarbonate plastics and classified as an endocrine disrupting chemical （EDC）. The reproductive toxicity of BPA has been extensively studied in mammals; however, relatively little information is available on the immunotoxic responses of fish to BPA. In this study, we investigated the effects of BPA on the immune functions of lymphocytes and macrophages in Carassius auratus. The effects of BPA were compared with those of two natural steroid hormones, estradiol and hydrocortisone. Proliferation of the two types of cells in response to PHA was measured using colorimetric MTT assay. Macrophage respiratory burst stimulated by Con A was measured using chemiluminescence assay. Results showed that BPA （0.054-5.4 mg/L）, estradiol （0.0002-2.0 mg/L） and hydrocortisone （5-50 mg/L） significantly induced Carassius auratus lymphocyte proliferation while higher doses of hydrocortisone （500-5000 mg/L） appeared to be inhibitory. BPA （0.005-50 mg/L）, estradiol （0.005-800 mg/L） and hydrocortisone （0.005-500 mg/L） markedly enhanced macrophage proliferation, whereas higher doses of BPA （500-1000 mg/L） appeared to inhibit cell proliferation. Furthermore, higher dosage of BPA （50 mg/L） and hydrocortisone （50 and 500 mg/L） suppressed the macrophages respiratory burst while estradiol is stimulative all the doses tested （0.05-500 mg/L）. In conclusion, BPA could have immunotoxicity to Carassius auratus and functional changes of lymphocyte and macrophage in Carassius auratus may be different between low and high dosages.
