Comparison of an array of in vitro assays for the assessment of the estrogenic potential of natural and synthetic estrogens, phytoestrogens and xenoestrogens.

Many chemicals in surface waters and sediments have recently been discovered to have estrogenic/antiestrogenic activity. Among these compounds, known as 'endocrine disrupters', are natural and synthetic hormones, phytoestrogenes and a variety of industrial chemicals, such as certain detergents and pesticides. These substances are supposed to affect the development and reproduction in wildlife and humans and may also be involved in the induction of cancer. In order to assess the estrogenic/antiestrogenic potential of pure compounds and complex environmental samples we compared an array of in vitro test systems, (i) two luciferase reporter gene assays using transgenic human MVLN cells (derived from MCF-7 cells) and HGELN cells (derived from HeLa cells); (ii) a competitive binding assay with recombinant human estrogen receptors (ER) alpha and beta; and (iii) a proliferation assay with MCF7-cells (E-Screen). The sensitivity of the assays for 17-beta-estradiol decreased in the order: MVLN-cells=E-Screen>HGELN-cells>binding to ER-alpha>binding to ER-beta. A good correlation was obtained between the estrogenic potencies of 11 compounds (17-beta-estradiol (E(2)), estrone (E(1)), estriol (E(3)), ethinylestradiol (EE(2)), diethylstilbestrol (DES), coumestrol, beta-sitosterol, genistein, 4-nonylphenol, 4-octylphenol, bisphenol A) in the three tissue culture assays. The relative potencies of the compounds obtained by the cell free binding assays were one to two orders of magnitude higher compared with the cell culture assays. The phytoestrogens showed a preference to bind to ER-beta, but only genistein showed a much lower activity in the E-Screen (growth induction in breast cancer cells) compared with the luciferase induction in MVLN and HGELN-cells.

Aminopyrazoles with high affinity for the human neuropeptide Y5 receptor.

1,3-Disubstituted-5-aminopyrazoles were prepared based on a lead compound found through high-throughput screening of our corporate compound library in an assay measuring affinity for the human neuropeptide Y5 receptor. The target compounds were prepared by cyclization of alpha-cyanoketones with appropriate hydrazines, followed by reduction and coupling to various sulfonamido-carboxylic acids. Several of these arylpyrazoles (e.g., 19 and 45) displayed high affinity for the human NPY Y5 receptor (<20nM IC(50)s).

Specific binding of 8-oxoguanine-containing RNA to polynucleotide phosphorylase protein.

8-Oxoguanine, an oxidized form of guanine, has the potential to pair with both cytosine and adenine, and thus, the persistence of this base in messenger RNA would cause translational errors. To prevent such an outcome, organisms probably have a mechanism for recognizing RNA molecules carrying 8-oxoguanine and prevent them from entering into the cellular translational machinery. We now report that the Escherichia coli cell possesses proteins that bind specifically to RNA carrying 8-oxoguanine. On incubation with a cell-free extract, 8-oxoguanine-containing RNA is stable while normal RNA is degraded by cellular nucleases. The RNase protection assay and gel shift assay revealed that some proteins bind specifically to 8-oxoguanine-containing RNA, hence preventing nuclease attacks. Among the complexes that were detected, one with a 77 kDa protein exhibits tight binding between RNA and protein components. This protein was identified as polynucleotide phosphorylase, encoded by the pnp gene. pnp(-)() mutants are hyperresistant to paraquat, a drug that induces oxidative stress in the cell. Binding of Pnp protein to 8-oxoguanine-containing RNA would inhibit cell growth, probably due to withdrawal of such RNA from the translational machinery. The Pnp protein may, therefore, discriminate between an oxidized RNA molecule and a normal one, thus contributing a high fidelity of translation.
