説明
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Retinoid X receptor (RXR) is a nuclear receptor that plays important and multiple roles in mammalian development and homeostasis. We previously reported that, in human choriocarcinoma cells, tributyltin chloride and triphenyltin hydroxide, which are typical environmental contaminants and cause masculinization in female mollusks, are potent stimulators of human chorionic gonadotropin production and aromatase activity, which play key endocrine functions in maintaining pregnancy and fetal development. However, the molecular mechanism through which these compounds stimulate these endocrine functions remains unclear. Our current study shows that trialkyltin compounds, including tributyltin chloride and triphenyltin hydroxide, function as RXR agonists. Trialkyltins directly bind to the ligand-binding domain of RXR with high affinity and function as transcriptional activators. Unlike the natural RXR ligand, 9-cis-retinoic acid, the activity of trialkyltins is RXR specific and does not activate the retinoic acid receptor pathway. In addition, trialkyltins activate RXR to stimulate the expression of a luciferase reporter gene containing the human placental promoter I.1 sequence of aromatase, suggesting that trialkyltins stimulate human placental endocrine functions through RXR-dependent signaling pathways. Therefore, our results suggest that activation of RXR may be a novel mechanism by which trialkyltins alter human endocrine functions.</jats:p>
