Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Bisphenol A is a raw material of polycarbonate and epoxy resins. This chemical is also known as a harmful environmental chemical, which shows adverse effects even at low doses. The target molecules of environmental chemicals are thought to be nuclear receptors which control gene transcriptions. We have found that the transcriptional activity of an estrogen receptor, which belongs to nuclear receptors, are synergistically increased by co-expression with other nuclear receptors. The aim of this study is to clarify the molecular mechanisms underlying the synergistic effect on transcriptional activity. Finally, we found that several next generation bisphenols bind to the estrogen receptor stronger than bisphenol A.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
現代社会においては、さまざまな化学物質が環境中に放出されている。これらの環境化学物質の安全性の評価は、社会・国民の健康生活にきわめて重要である。現在、有害環境化学物質ビスフェノールAが示す、ごく微量の暴露で悪影響をおよぼす低用量効果は、未解明の課題となっている。本研究では、この解明の端緒として、核内受容体が複数存在することによる活性増強効果の分子機構の解明を目指し、有意義な研究成果を得た。
