| Research Abstract |
Endocrine-disrupting activity of some brominated flame retardants was examined. 1) The thyroid hormone-disrupting activity of tetrabromobisphenol A, tetrachlorobisphenol A, some 4-hydroxylated polybromodiphenyl ethers was observed in the assay of binding to thyroid hormone receptor. These chemicals also showed thyroid hormonal effect on GH3 cell. However, polybrominated diphenyl ethers and bisphenol A did not exhibit the activity. Especially, tetrabromobisphenol A exhibited the highest thyroid hormonal activity. 3, 5-Substituted bromide is an essential factor for the thyroid hormonal activity. 2) 4-Hydroxy-2, 2', 4-tribromodiphenyl ether exhibited estrogenic activity in the reporter assay using human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. In this case, 3, 5-dibromo substitution decreased the estrogenic activity. 3) The action of these chemicals was also estimated by amphibian metamorphosis using tadpole. The tail of tadopole was shortened by the addition of triiodothyronine (T3). These chemicals showed antagonistic effect against the T3-induced tadpole tail regression. These facts suggest that hydroxylated brominated flame retardants exhibited endocrine-disrupting effect in the worldwide life.
