Effects of 17 β -estradiol, bisphenol A and genistein on the expression of the glutathione peroxidase gene of Philasterides dicentrarchii (Ciliophora: Scuticociliata)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A subtracted cDNA library of a marine scuticociliate, Philasterides dicentrarchii, in response to 17β-estradiol exposure was constructed using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH). As a result of SSH, 275 clones were isolated, and among them, only glutathione peroxidase (GPX) gene was isolated as an antioxidative enzyme responding to 17β-estradiol. The semi-quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis revealed that the transcription of GPX gene of P. dicentrarchii was clearly increased by exposure to 17β-estradiol. The GPX transcription was also clearly increased by exposure to xenoestrogens such as bisphenol A (BPA) and genistein.
