| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this project is to clarify the nuclear receptor-mediated molecular mechanisms of signal toxicity and low-dose effects of endocrine disruptor bisphenol A. As a result, the followings to prove those objectives have been elucidated. Those include (i) BPA-exposure causes hyperactivity both in the fruit fly Drosophila, and mice, (ii) such hyperactivity was found to associate with the disorder of genes of circadian rhythm-transmitting neuropeptides, (iii) the disorder appeared to originate from the suppression or facilitation of DNA methylation, and (iv) BPA’s high transcriptional activation activity is due to the cooperative work with highly constitutively active self-activated nuclear receptors.
