摘要: 有报道表明,经17β-雌二醇(17β-estradiol,E2)处理后,斑马鱼种群中雌性比例上升。为了研究E2雌性化作用的机制,选取一系列斑马鱼体内与性别分化有关的基因(brca2, sox9a, sox9b, dmrt1 cyp19a1a),采用qRT-PCR分析它们在不同的处理条件下表达水平的变化。结果表明,E2能上调雌性相关基因(brca2sox9b)的表达,下调部分雄性相关基因(sox9a)的表达,对不同发育阶段的斑马鱼体内的性激素转化通路(cyp19a1a)的影响不同。

Abstract: Previous studies have demonstrated that 17β-estradiol(E2)could increase the female proportion in zebrafish population. In order to study mechanisms of feminization caused by E2, quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to analyze expression levels of genes involved in sexual differentiation(brca2, sox9a, sox9b, dmrt1 and cyp19a1a)under different conditions. The results indicate that E2 can up-regulate the expression levels of the female-predominant genes(brac2 and sox9b), partially down-regulate the expression levels of male-predominant gene(sox9a)and has different effects on sex hormone conversion pathway(cyp19a1a)in different developmental stages of zebrafish.

Key words: endocrine disrupting chemicals, 17β-estradiol, zebrafish, sexual differentiation
