中文摘要    环境内分泌干扰物是一类可干扰生物生殖、成长、行为及体内维持平衡所需的激素的合成、分泌、运输、结合、作用及消除过程的外源性物质。数量和种类众多的内分泌干扰物通过各种途径进入环境,在低浓度下即可对暴露其中的生物体产生不良影响,还产生由加和或相互作用导致的联合效应。因此,环境内分泌干扰物联合作用的描述和预测就显得尤为重要。本研究利用两种高通量离体生物测试,从受体结合、细胞增殖和基因表达水平干扰等不同层次评价了环境内分泌干扰物中最受关注的雌激素受体干扰物的联合作用,并比较了混合物毒性研究中两个重要模型——浓度加和和效应加和的预测能力。
    受体结合是雌激素受体干扰物重要的作用方式之一。在受体结合层面上,针对雌激素和类雌激素的联合效应,利用等毒性配比设计和随机混合设计配制了31个最多含九种雌激素物质组分的混合物,通过重组基因双杂交酵母测试评价其联合毒性,并比较浓度加和模型和效应加和模型的预测结果。结果表明,针对具有单一作用方式的双杂交酵母测试,浓度加和模型和衍生的雌二醇当量法可以
较精确地描述混合物的联合作用,且不受混合物组成、组分浓度和作用强度的影响。针对雌激素和抗雌激素的联合效应,配制 15个由三种雌激素和三种抗雌激素遵循固定比例设计的混合物。通过添加其亚最大效应浓度的标准雌激素17β-雌二醇进行拮抗效应检测,发现抗雌激素混合物的联合效应可由浓度加和模型和他莫昔芬当量这一概念描述和表征。当雌激素和抗雌激素共同作用时,抗雌激素
的存在可降低雌激素响应,造成毒性评价中生物测试对雌激素效应的低估,但此影响可以通过公式修正和策略选择基本消除。
    在细胞增殖层面上,由于雌激素受体干扰物可通过多种作用方式导致增殖,联合作用的表现可能与受体结合不同。因此,利用对雌激素暴露敏感的人乳腺癌细胞MCF-7进行雌激素混合物的联合效应研究。结果表明,17β-雌二醇和双酚A通过等毒性配比获得的二元混合物诱导MCF-7细胞增殖呈现拮抗效应,这与E2和BPA通过不同的作用方式刺激增殖有关。另一方面,基因表达水平测试发现,E2和  BPA在影响增殖有关的不同基因表达上有不同的作用强度和偏好,这也说明了细胞水平上联合毒性研究的复杂性。将反映整体效应的测试终点细化到特定的一个或数个作用方式上是一种深入研究的思路,基于此进行实验设计、模型建立和效应预测也是未来的发展方向之一。
英文摘要      Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a  class of exogenous compounds that can interfere with the endocrine (or hormone) system in mammals at certain dose,  and their  reproductive   and  developmental  toxicities   after  the  long-term   exposure  to environmental  observed concentrations  aggravate  the worries  about  the impacts  on
human health. A variety of  EDCs are emitted from different sources and  seldem exist individually  in  any  environmental  compartment, leading  to  the  combined  adverse effects on organisms. In this study, the combined effects of the  estrogen receptor (ER) disrutping chemicals - which are of the  of special concern among EDCs - on different biological levels are assessed by using two high-throughput in  vitro bioassays, as well as   the  predictive   abilities   of  two   classic   model  in   mixture   toxicity  research:concentration addition (CA) and response addition (RA).
    Receptor-binding  is one  of  the most  important  modes of  action  (MoA)  of ER disrupting chemicals. For the combined effects of estrogens and estrogenic compounds,31 mixtures containing  up to 9  estrogenic components were perpared  following both the equivalent  effect design  and  randomly mixed  principle. Their  mixture toxicities
were evaluated  through  the two-hybrid  recombinant yeast  assay,  and the  predictive performances of  CA and  RA were  compared. The  results showed  that for  the yeast assay  providing  only  one  MoA,  CA   model  and  the  derived  estradiol  equivalent approach  can  discribe  the  combined  effects  well,  which  was  independent  on  the composition, concentration levels and potencies of mixture components. For estrogens and antiestrogens, 3  estrogens and 3  antiestrogens were used to  creat 15 mixtures  by fixed-ratio design.  In the  antagonistic activity  test when setting  the concentration  of model estrogen to its sub-maximal effect concentration, it was found that the the effects of antiestrogenic mixtures can be predicted by the CA model and tamoxifen equivalent concept.  If  the  estrogens  and  antiestrogens  coexist,  the  presence  of  antiestrogens decreases the response to estrogen, causing misestimation of the estrogen quantity.
    On the level of cell proliferation, ER disrupting chemicals can induce proliferation of the human breast cancer cell MCF-7 cell via multiple MoAs, leading to the different outcome of  combined effects from  the previous receptor-binding  activity. Therefore, the joint toxicity of estrogenic mixtures were assessed by using MCF-7 cell, which was sensitive to the exposure of estrogens. According to the results, the mixture containing equal-effective doses of 17β-estradiol and Bisphenol  A showed a antagonistic manner on MCF-7 proliferation, and  this is due to the different  pathways through which 17β- estradiol and Bisphenol A  act on the cell. On the  other hand, the gene expression  test found that 17β-estradiol and Bisphenol A showed distinct patterns on the expression of key gene related to cell proliferation. This suggests the complexity of mixture research on cell level. Hereby, separating the endpoint of 'whole effect' into one or several MoAs gives us a possible hint for further research, and it will be a research direction to conduct experimental design and effect prediction accordingly in the future.
