简介:为探讨邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯(di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate,DEHP)及其代谢产物邻苯二甲酸单-2-乙基己酯(mono-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate,MEHP)对H295R细胞类固醇激素合成关键基因表达的影响,本实验将H295R细胞分别暴露于DEHP(0、1、10、100、1000μmol·L^-1)和MEHP(0、1、10、100、1000μmol·L^-1)24h,用MTT法检测细胞活性,并应用荧光定量PCR法分析细胞类固醇激素合成过程中关键酶的基因表达水平。结果显示,1000μmol·L^-1DEHP和MEHP对H295R细胞染毒24h显著降低H295R细胞活力,所以本研究采用了较低的染毒浓度(0、1、10和100μmol·L^-1)对H295R细胞染毒24h来评估DEHP和MEHP对H295R细胞类固醇激素合成通路的影响。1、10和100μmol·L^-1DEHP显著增加醛固酮合成酶CYP11B2的基因表达水平。10μmol·L^-1DEHP显著上调了3-β羟基类固醇脱氢酶(3β-HSD2)的基因表达水平。1、10和100μmol·L^-1MEHP显著下调了3-β羟基类固醇脱氢酶(3β-HSD1和3β-HSD2)、17β羟基类固醇脱氢酶17β-HSD4、17α羟化酶/17,20裂解酶CYP17和芳香酶CYP19a的基因表达水平。10和100μmol·L-1MEHP染毒H295R24h显著下调了CYP21和STAR的基因表达水平,然而,10和100μmol·L^-1MEHP显著上调了CYP11B2的基因表达水平。100μmol·L^-1MEHP显著下调了17β-HSD1的基因表达水平。上述研究结果表明,DEHP、MEHP都可不同程度影响H295R细胞类固醇激素合成过程中关键基因的表达。MEHP可以通过抑制STAR基因的表达,从而将影响胆固醇在细胞内的转运;并能显著性抑制类固醇激素合成过程中CYP17、CYP19a、3β-HSD1、3β-HSD2、17β-HSD1、17β-HSD4、CYP21基因的表达,最终将抑制H295R细胞中类固醇激素的合成。与DEHP相比,MEHP对H295R细胞类固醇激素合成关键基因表达的影响较明显。
简介:为探讨纳米MnO2与常规MnO2粉末对细胞DNA损伤作用的差别,采用不同浓度的纳米MnO2与常规MnO2粉末(0、100、200、400μg·mL^-1)对Hela细胞进行染毒,应用单细胞凝胶电泳(彗星实验)检测Hela细胞的损伤效应.结果表明,与对照组相比,纳米MnO2和常规MnO2各染毒组细胞尾部DNA百分率(TailDNA%)和尾矩(TailMoment)均显著增加(p〈0.01);同一浓度下,纳米MnO2组细胞尾部DNA百分率和尾矩显著高于常规MnO2组(p〈0.01).以上结果表明,纳米MnO2和常规MnO2粉末均能导致Hela细胞DNA损伤,且纳米MnO2的损伤作用强于常规MnO2.
简介:焦化废水中含有大量毒性物质,具有较强的生物毒性。本文以实验室构建的A2/O焦化废水处理系统为研究对象,考察废水处理过程化学成分和急性毒性的变化。采用紫外扫描和三维荧光光谱分析考察了处理系统各阶段出水的物质组分,并采用固相萃取和超滤膜分离等手段对水样各组分的发光细菌急性毒性进行研究。结果表明,伴随着芳香族物质等毒物的去除,焦化废水的急性生物毒性在该处理系统中被逐步削减,最终出水的毒性当量仅为原水的28%;不同组分的生物毒性测试结果显示,废水水样的强极性和中等极性有机组分贡献了绝大部分的毒性当量,而这些物质主要在缺氧段及好氧段被削减;结合三维荧光光谱的分析结果,可推断焦化废水中一类很难在A2/O处理系统中被完全去除的芳香族蛋白质类似物(Ⅱ区)很可能具有较强的生物毒性,是构成出水毒性的主要物质。
