| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this study was to investigate the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) of equine estrogens (EQs) on developing medaka (Oryzias latipes) and zebrafish (Danio rerio) using in silico and in vivo assays. In silico docking simulation analysis revealed that six EQs interact with the ligand-binding domains of medaka and zebrafish estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes. Our quantitative real-time RT-PCR analyses documented that the mRNA expression levels of CYP19A1b and ChgL in developing zebrafish and medaka responded to various types and concentrations of EQs in a dose response manner. Furthermore, the transcriptome and bioinformatics analyses were performed to investigate the molecular mechanism of developmental toxicity caused by Eq and Eqn. Results revealed that the disruption of several KEGG pathways are involved in the developmental toxicity of EQs in fish embryos. These findings provide insights into the AOP concept elucidating the developmental effects of EQs on fish species.
