壬基酚和双酚A对雄性斑马鱼(Danio rerio)卵黄蛋白原mRNA的诱导效应

为了对野外环境中内分泌干扰物更快速有效地进行检测,运用逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)技术检测了17β-雌二醇(E2)、壬基酚(NP)和双酚A(BPA)对雄性成体斑马鱼肝脏合成卵黄蛋白原(VTG)mRNA的诱导作用,并初步探讨了VTGmRNA体内代谢动力学模式.结果表明,随着暴露浓度的升高(E2:20、100、250、500ng·L-1;NP:20、100、250、500μg·L-1;BPA:50、100、250、500、1000μg·L-1),VTGmRNA表达量均显著增加,VTGmRNA表达量与暴露浓度具有明显的剂量-效应关系.在10d的暴露期内,随着暴露时间的延长,VTGmRNA表达量均显著增加,VTGmRNA表达量与暴露时间呈明显的时间-效应关系;停止暴露后,VTGmRNA表达量迅速下降,E2诱导的表达消失得最快(4d),而NP、BPA诱导的表达持续时间相对较长(6d).     

Passive dosing: an approach to control mutagen exposure in the Ames fluctuation test

By using dialysis equilibrium experiments, the sorption of a branched nonylphenol isomer [4-(1-ethyl-1,3-dimethylpentyl)-phenol] (NP111) on various humic acids (HAs) isolated from river sediments and two reference HAs was studied. The HAs were characterized by solid-state ¹³C direct polarization/magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³C DP/MAS NMR) spectroscopy. Sorption isotherms of NP111 on HAs were described by a linear model. The organic carbon-normalized sorption coefficient (K_OC) ranged from 2.3 × 10³ to 1.5 × 10⁴ L kg⁻¹. Interestingly, a clear correlation between K_OC value and alkyl C content was observed, indicating that the aliphaticity of HAs markedly dominates the sorption of NP111. These new mechanistic insights about the NP111 sorption indicate that the fate of nonylphenols in soil or sediment depends not only on the content of HA, but also on its structural composition.     

Estrogen equivalent concentration of 13 branched para-nonylphenols in three technical mixtures by isomer-specific determination using their synthetic standards in SIM mode with GC-MS and two new diasteromeric isomers

Thirteen isomers of branched para-nonylphenols (para-NP) in three technical mixtures were isomer-specifically determined using their synthesized standards by SIM of structurally specific ions, m/z 135, 149 or 163 with GC–MS. Of the 13 isomers, four isomers, 4-(2,4-dimethylheptan-4-yl)phenol, 4-(4-methyloctan-4-yl)phenol, 4-(3-ethyl-2-methylhexan-2-yl)phenol (3E22NP) and 4-(2,3-dimethylheptan-2-yl)phenol synthesized for their determinations were first used as standard substances. The 13 isomers in the technical mixtures individually occurred at mass percent portion of more than 2%. The total mass percent portions in the mixtures from Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI), Aldrich, and Fluka covered with 89 ± 2%, 75 ± 4% and 77 ± 2%, respectively. The abundance of 4-(3,6-dimethylheptan-3-yl)phenol in the three mixtures was the largest with 11.1 ± 2% to 9.9 ± 0.3%, while that of 4-(2-methyloctan-2-yl)phenol was the smallest with 2.9 ± 0.3% to 3.0 ± 0.2%. Additionally, structures of four new isomers of more than 1% portion present in a technical mixture were elucidated as two pairs of diastereomeric isomers: two types of 4-(3,4-dimethylheptan-4-yl)phenol (344NP) and those of 4-(3,4-dimethylheptan-3-yl)phenol (343NP). By estrogenic assay of 13 isomers with yeast estrogen screen system, the activity of 3E22NP was the highest, while that of 4-(3-methyloctan-3-yl)phenol was the least. Their relative activities to that of 3E22NP were individually calculated. Estrogenic equivalent concentrations of the three technical mixtures were predictively evaluated. The ratio of the EEC to the conventional concentration, total mass percent portions of the 13 isomers in technical mixtures were 0.208 for TCI, 0.206 for Aldrich and 0.205 for Fluka. The predicted estrogenic activity of measured concentration of para-NP in technical mixtures was approximately 5-fold greater than the measured estrogen agonist activity.
