荧光素酶报告基因法测定废气中二英类物质

研究二噁英类生物检测法的主要目的是简化二噁英类分析流程,并找出快速检测的结果与HRGC-HRMS(高分辨气相色谱-高分辨质谱)结果之间的换算系数,从而可以利用快速检测的结果和换算系数来推算HRGC-HRMS的结果. 介绍了CALUX(荧光素酶报告基因法)分析废气中二噁英类物质的原理,并采用该方法分析了我国27个废气样品,以期找出其测定结果与HRGC-HRMS结果之间的换算系数. 结果表明,这2种测试方法数据相关性显著,R2为0.994 8,数据间的换算系数为0.379. 试验表明,CALUX法具有很好的推广性,如果再适当增加废气样品的数量,对换算系数进行适当的优化,则所得换算系数可推广.      

The detection of dioxin- and estrogen-like pollutants in marine and freshwater fishes cultivated in Pearl River Delta, China

In this study we aimed to assess the dioxin- and estrogen-like activities of contaminants extracted from twenty species of freshwater and seawater fishes, using luciferase reporter assays. Transfected MCF7 cells were treated with sample extracts and luciferase activities were then measured at 24-h of post-treatment. The mean values of the detected dioxin- and estrogen-like activities in the freshwater fishes were 25.3 pg TEQ/g ww and 102.3 pM EEQ/g ww whereas in the seawater fishes, the values were 46.2 pg TEQ/g ww and 118.8 pM EEQ/g ww. Using sample-relevant dosage of estrogen, inductions of cell proliferation markers (i.e. retinoblastoma, cyclin D) and stimulations of cell growth were revealed by Western blotting, colony formation and BrdU uptake assays. A cotreatment with TCDD significantly reduced these effects. Using the sample extracts with different dioxin- and estrogen-like activities, similar observation was revealed. The data highlighted the mixture effect of food contaminants on human health.
