| Research Abstract |
The endocrine systems are involved in the multitude of physiological processes. Recently, the endocrine disrupting chemicals are thought to have some effects in these processes. Therefore, it is important to develop a screening method for chemicals having these activities, and also characterize a disrupting mechanism.
1) We developed a new screening method for chemicals having hormonal activities using yeast two-hybrid system.
2) Using this assay system, we tested more than five hundred chemicals and discussed the structure-activity relationship.
3) We demonstrated that PPAR_γ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ), which is one of the nuclesr receptor, has dual DNA binding specificity. When PPARγ makes homodimer binds to estrogen receptor binding sequences rather than direct repeat.
4) We established PPARγ-expressing cells. Using this cell line, we isolated the new target genes of PPARγ using subtraction protocol and two-dimensional electrophoresis.
