3种增塑剂单独和联合暴露对MCF-7细胞增殖的影响

为了探究结构差异较大、应用较为广泛的几类增塑剂雌激素活性的联合效应,选择邻苯二甲酸二丁酯(DBP)、双酚A(BPA)和壬基酚(NP)作为邻苯二甲酸酯、双酚A类和烷基酚类增塑剂的代表物进行试验.用DBP、BPA和NP单独及两两混合处理MCF-7细胞.采用MTT法检测培养24h、48 h、72 h和96h时的细胞增殖情况.采用流式细胞术检测药物培养48h后的细胞生长周期分布,并计算细胞增殖指数(PI).运用效应叠加模型(ES)判定联合效应类型.结果表明,在单独暴露试验中,DBP、BPA和NP组PI均大于1,且均能提高S期(DNA合成期)细胞比例.因此,DBP、BPA和NP均能显著促进MCF-7细胞增殖.混合暴露试验中,1)DBP和BPA在MTT试验中24h、48h、72 h和96h时的效应叠加指数(ESI)分别为1.013 9、1.023 8、0.9999、1.010 8,在流式细胞仪试验中ESI为1.014 1.因此,DBP和BPA的雌激素活性联合效应为加和作用.2)DBP和NP在MTT试验中24 h、48 h、72 h和96 h时的ESI分别为1.004 0、1.008 6、1.011 5、1.010 3,流式细胞仪试验中ESI为0.997 0.因此,DBP和NP的雌激素活性联合效应为加和作用.3)BAP和NP在MTT试验中24h、48 h、72 h和96h时的ESI分别为0.980 6、0.981 8、0.977 7、0.973 3,流式细胞仪试验的ESI为0.912 8.由此可知,BPA和NP的雌激素活性联合效应为拮抗作用.因此,可以采用MCF-7细胞增殖试验研究环境污染物雌激素活性联合效应.     

一株壬基酚降解菌的分离鉴定及其对壬基酚同分异构体降解特性研究

壬基酚(NP)是典型的内分泌干扰物,具有雌激素效应.目前对NP的研究主要集中于微生物降解对其整体去除效果,而对各NP同分异构体的降解行为尚缺乏系统性研究.从钱塘江沉积物中筛选得到一株能够降解NP的细菌,命名为N-1,实验室条件下该菌能以NP为唯一碳源生长.经形态、生理生化及16S rRNA基因序列分析,N-1鉴定为假黄单胞菌(Pseudoxanthomonas sp.).通过正交试验确定N-1降解NP的最适条件为:温度30℃,p H=7.0,菌量10%,NP浓度5~10 mg·L~(-1).最适条件下,N-1对NP 16 d整体降解率可达88.0%,对10种NP异构体降解率在69.7%~100%之间,说明N-1对NP同分异构体的降解具有结构-降解特性,即不同结构NP异构体表现出不一样的降解能力.进一步研究发现,NP异构体降解率随着NP烷基C链长度增加而升高,随着烷基取代基结构越复杂而降低.NP降解选择性导致的难降解成分残留现象,为NP类异构体污染物的微生物修复提供了一定的理论依据.     

Metabolism of the Nonylphenol Isomer [Ring-U-14c]-4-(3′,5′-Dimethyl-3′-Heptyl)-Phenol by Cell Suspension Cultures of Agrostemma githago and Soybean

Abstract

The biotransformation of the nonylphenol isomer [ring-U-¹⁴C]-4-(3′,5′-dimethyl-3′-heptyl)-phenol (4-353-NP, consisting of two diastereomers) was studied in soybean and Agrostemma githago cell suspension cultures. With the A. githago cells, a batch two-liquid-phase system (medium/n-hexadecane 200:1, v/v) was used, in order to produce higher concentrations and amounts of 4-353-NP metabolites for their identification; 4-353-NP was applied via the n-hexadecane phase. Initial concentrations of [¹⁴C]-4-353-NP were 1 mg L^?1 (soybean), and 5 and 10 mg L^?1 (A. githago). After 2 (soybean) and 7 days (A. githago) of incubation, the applied 4-353-NP was transformed almost completely by both plant species to four types of products: glycosides of parent 4-353-NP, glycosides of primary 4-353-NP metabolites, nonextractable residues and unknown, possibly polymeric materials detected in the media. The latter two products emerged especially in soybean cultures. Portions of primary metabolites amounted to 19–22% (soybean) and 21–42% of applied ¹⁴C (A. githago). After liberation from their glycosides, the primary 4-353-NP metabolites formed by A. githago were isolated by HPLC and examined by GC-EIMS as trimethylsilyl derivatives. In the chromatograms, eight peaks were detected which due to their mass spectra, could be traced back to 4-353-NP. Seven of the compounds were side-chain monohydroxylated 4-353-NP metabolites, while the remaining was a (side-chain) carboxylic acid derivative. Unequivocal identification of the sites of hydroxylation/oxidation of all transformation products was not possible. The main primary metabolites produced by A. githago were supposed to be four diastereomers of 6′-hydroxy-4-353-NP (about 80% of all products identified). It was concluded that plants contribute to the environmental degradation of the xenoestrogen nonylphenol; the toxicological properties of side-chain hydroxylated nonylphenols remain to be examined.     

Risk assessment of xenoestrogens in a typical domestic sewage-holding lake in China

Release of domestic sewage leads to accumulation of xenoestrogens in holding waters, especially in closed or semi-enclosed waters such as lakes. In the study, the occurrence, distribution, estrogenic activity and risk of eight xenoestreogens were evaluated in Lake Donghu, China. Nonylphenol (NP), octylphenol (OP), and bisphenol A (BPA) were identified as the main xenoestrogens ranging from tens of ng L⁻¹ (in the surface water) or ng g⁻¹ dw (in the suspended particles and sediment) to tens of μg L⁻¹ or μg g⁻¹ dw. The sum of 17β-estradiol equivalents (∑EEQs) ranged from 0.32 to 45.02 ng L⁻¹ in the surface water, 0.53 to 71.86 ng g⁻¹ dw in the suspended particles, and 0.09 to 24.73 ng g⁻¹ dw in the sediment. Diethylstilbestrol (DES) was determined as the main contributor to ∑EEQs followed by NP. The risk assessment showed a higher risk in the surface water than in the suspended particles and sediment in such domestic sewage-holding lake.     

夏季渤海表层沉积物中壬基酚和双酚A的分布特征与潜在生态风险

分析了渤海表层沉积物中壬基酚和双酚A的分布特征。结果表明,壬基酚的含量介于(3.16～13.6)×10-9(dw),高值区出现在渤海湾近岸,其次为辽东半岛近岸和莱州湾近岸,其它海区的含量均低于7.50×10-9(dw),且变化幅度较小。渤海沉积物中的双酚A含量普遍较低,介于(ND～1.44)×10-9(dw),高值区出现在辽东湾近岸。壬基酚和双酚A的含量分布受到陆源输入、环流体系及沉积环境等因素的共同影响。本文还讨论了渤海中壬基酚和双酚A的潜在生态风险。     

金鱼组织中壬基酚的含量检测新方法探讨

建立一种直接检测环境中痕量壬基酚的外切酶保护-荧光定量PCR方法。首先向含雌激素受体及相关蛋白的细胞溶质中加入壬基酚-丙酮溶液,使受体蛋白活化,从而在体外与含雌激素反应位点的双链结合DNA作用形成壬基酚-雌激素受体-DNA复合物。复合物用核酸外切酶和S1核酸酶消解,去除未受到蛋白质保护的结合DNA。将消解后产物作为模板,进行荧光定量PCR扩增反应,建立壬基酚浓度与标准DNA拷贝数的对数之间的线性关系为：y（壬基酚浓度的对数）=1.637x（标准DNA拷贝数的对数）-9.505。该法检出限为10^-8g/L,用该法对金鱼肝脏组织中壬基酚进行检测,添加回收率水平在98.5%112.2%,变异系数在4.3%以下。     

1株异养脱氮菌降解壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚的研究

研究了异养脱氮菌Bacillus sp.LY降解壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚(NPEOs)的性能.结果表明,该菌株具有较强地降解NPEOs的能力,且在实现NPEOs降解去除的同时表现出一定的异养脱氮性能.降解14d后, Bacillus sp.LY对NPEOs去除率达95.6%,对体系中的总氮去除率为43.9%.该菌株对NPEOs的降解去除符合一级动力学特征,其降解速率常数为0.224d-1.该菌株通过无氧化过程的乙氧基链的逐渐缩短的途径降解去除NPEOs,可避免产生危害性更大的NPEOs的羧酸化产物(NPECs).在分别以氨态氮(NH4C1)、硝态氮(NaNO3)和亚硝态氮(NaNO2)3种不同氮素为氮源的条件下,菌株对NPEOs均具有一定的降解效果,其中以氨态氮为氮源时菌株对NPEOs降解效果最好.研究结果可为消除壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚与氮素复合污染提供理论依据.     

含藻水中壬基酚的光降解转化研究

选取壬基酚(nonylphenol,NP)作为研究对象,研究了水中2种常见淡水藻(小球藻和鱼腥藻)对壬基酚的光降解促进作用,并对藻引发水中壬基酚的光降解途径进行了分析;同时也研究了天然水中普遍存在的物质成分(腐殖酸和铁离子)与藻协同引发壬基酚的光降解及其影响机制.结果表明,含淡水藻的水溶液经过光照后能引发其中壬基酚的光降解;藻、腐殖酸和铁离子的水溶液经过光照后,对壬基酚光降解的增强促进作用更大,在含藻、腐殖酸和铁离子的水溶液中,4 h光照后壬基酚的降解率可达58%.根据此结果推测藻/腐殖酸和铁离子体系光照后能产生更多的活性物质,从而促进水中有机污染物的光降解.     

壬基酚在污灌土壤中吸附行为研究

采用序批式室内实验研究了壬基酚(NP)在污灌土壤中的吸附行为,同时探讨了壬基酚在土壤中吸附行为的影响因素,包括pH、离子强度、黑炭和矿物质.水溶液中NP检测方法为液液萃取-高效液相方法(LLE-HPLC).研究结果表明,土壤中有机质含量在吸附过程中起决定作用,土壤自身矿物组成成分对NP吸附行为具有一定影响.NP在土壤中吸附反应6h后达到平衡,吸附动力学都符合准二级线性模式;吸附等温线符合线性模式.壬基酚在污灌和清灌土壤中有机质吸附系数(Koc)分别为3.1×104 L·kg-1和3.2 ×104 L·kg-1,在土壤中很难移动.pH改变对壬基酚在土壤中吸附行为影响程度要高于离子强度,碱性条件下影响结果更为显著.NP在土壤黑炭和矿物质中吸附行为均符合线性模式,分配系数都有所下降.
