| Abstract: | The ability of 14 structurally diverse estrogenic compounds to induce reporter gene expression mediated by estrogen receptors (ERs) from different species was examined. MCF-7 cells were transiently transfected with a Gal4-regulated luciferase reporter gene (17m5-G-Luc) and Gal4-ER chimeric receptors containing the D, E and F domains of the human α (Gal4-hERαdef), mouse α (Gal4-mERαdef), mouse β (Gal4-mERβdef), chicken (Gal4-cERαdef), green anole (Gal4-aERαdef), Xenopus (Gal4-xERdef) or rainbow trout α ERs (Gal4-rtERαdef). The efficacy of 17β-estradiol (E2) in inducing reporter gene expression was similar among the different constructs overall, with EC50 values ranging from 0.05 to 0.7 nM. However, Gal4-rtERαdef had an EC50 value at 37 °C of 28 nM, though at 20 °C an EC50 value of 1 nM was observed. Despite a similar response to E2 treatment among the ERs, many differences were observed in the magnitude of the response to other structurally diverse chemicals. For example, coumestrol induced Gal4-mERβdef- and Gal4-aERdef-mediated reporter gene expression 164- and 8-fold greater, respectively, than mediated with the other Gal4-ERs. As well, in contrast to results with other Gal4-ERs, α-zearalenol consistently induced Gal4-rtERαdef-mediated reporter gene activity at lower concentrations than did E2. Overall, the results demonstrate that selected estrogenic compounds exhibit a differential ability to induce reporter gene activity mediated by ERs from different vertebrate species. These data also highlight the importance of incubation temperature when examining rtERα-mediated activity. |
