説明

We critically review the current and potential application of molecular techniques in assessing the adverse biological reproductive effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in leachate from waste landfills. Various in vitro screening assays have been developed to evaluate EDCs that may bind to sex hormone receptors. Screening assays such as the receptor-binding assay to check the direct binding ability of a chemical with the receptor and the use of cultured cells such as MCF-7 cells and yeast cells in which the receptor gene is inserted are frequently used. As for in vivo assays, plasma and/or hepatic vitellogenin induction assays to determine estrogenic activity have been used in fish and amphibians. In addition, molecular techniques, such as real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cDNA-microarray, are considered to be useful tools for risk assessment of animals and humans exposed to leachate from waste landfills. This review provides a link between traditional single-gene biomarker studies and the emerging field of eco-toxicogenomics, demonstrating the utility of microarray studies on environmentally sampled, non-model organisms.
