1 Esposizione a livelli ambientali di xenoestrogeni: modelli di studio nel ratto in vivo e rilevanza degli effetti Francesca Farabollini (a), Leonida Fusani (c), Daniele Della Seta (a), Francesco Dessì-Fulgheri (b) a Dip. di Fisiologia, Universita di Siena b Dipartimento di Biologia Evoluzionistica, Universita di Firenze c Dipartimento di Biologia ed Evoluzione, Universita di Ferrara (Gruppo di Ricerca Interuniversitario su Distruttori Endocrini e Sviluppo neurocomportamentale: GRIDES)
2 Xenoestrogen - Heterogeneous class of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds that mimic the action of estrogen hormones - A number of studies showing experimental alteration of reproductive functions in aquatic wildlife - Plenty of correlational evidence for reproductive and behavioral alterations in wildlife and humans - Experimental evidence for adverse effects in mammals at environmentally relevant concentrations is scarce
3 In intact animals, xenoestrogens interferes with endogenous estrogen system during development and sensitive phases of adult life Xs: DISRUPTERS or MODULATORS?
4 Main criticisms to xenoestrogens studies 1.Treatment is not environmental-like Animal model, route, dose, do not mimic exposure from environmental contamination
5 Environmental-like protocol (I) Sprague-Dawley rats ANIMAL Intact male/female ROUTE oral administration TIME-COURSE to mothers direct 90 day conception birth weaning puberty behavior Early exposure Late effects
6 Environmental-like protocol (II) SUBSTANCE BPA DOSE Low dose: range of typical human exposure < EPA standards < LOAEL (lowest adverse effect level) Large effects from Small exposure ENDPOINTS BEHAVIOUR (socio-sexual, play, maternal..)
7 Behaviour - End-point of complex integrated systems - Organized during development - Sexual behavior relevant for reproduction - Fine ethological analysis to reveal sensitive elements
8 Main criticisms to xenoestrogen studies 2.Compounds have additional, non-estrogenic actions Generalization of xenoestrogens effects is difficult. Tested chemicals may have multiple effects, related to different mechanisms of action and/or different concentration 3. Protocol is not validated for estrogenic activity Sensitivity of the protocol to pure estrogens should be controlled (positive control) Doses of Xs and pure estrogens should be selected on the base of different bioactivity
9 Environmental-like protocol II: EE SUBSTANCE Ethynyl estradiol (EE) : pure synthetic estrogen estrogenic potency >>BPA environmental contaminant DOSE Low dose : range of environmental exposure High dose : anticonceptional pill ENDPOINTS BEHAVIOUR (reproductive, cognitive..)
10 Environmental-like protocol III: Pair Model PAIR MODEL -Developmental exposure of both males and females -Adult male and female paired for 15 days END-POINTS - Reproductive Success: fertility and fecundity
11 WINDOWS OF EXPOSURE PERINATAL (PRE: GD 0-22) (POST: PND 1-21) PERINATAL (GD 0 PND 22) BEHAVIORAL END-POINTS JUVENILE ADULT: SEXUAL AGGR. MATERNAL + (play) + + PUBERAL (PND 23-30) + + ADULT (pregn.+lact.) + BPA Experiments Early exposure to a low dose of bisphenol A affects socio-sexual behaviour of juvenile female rats: Porrini et al. Brain Research Bulletin 65: (2005). Altered profiles of spontaneous novelty seeking, impulsive behaviour, and response to D-amphetamine in rats perinatally exposed to bisphenol-a: Adriani et al.

Environmental Health Perspectives, 110: (2002). Pubertal exposure to estrogenic chemicals affects behaviour, in juvenile and adult male rats: Della Seta et al. Hormones and Behavior, 50: (2006) Bisphenol-A exposure during pregnancy and lactation affects maternal behaviour in rats: Della Seta et al. Brain Research Bulletin, 65: (2005).

15 PERINATAL EXPOSURE OF MALE RATS: PRENATAL/POSTNATAL Development of sexual behaviour is influenced by perinatal exposure to BPA Impairment in the timing and performance of copulatory activity No clearcut dissociation of effects between PRE and POST (different subsystems involved) PUBERTAL EXPOSURE OF MALE RATS Development of sexual behaviour may still be influenced by pubertal exposure to BPA/EE Sexual behaviour is altered in timing and sequence of copulatory elements Stronger effects with EE and weaker with BPA: Lower sensitivity to BPA in the pubertal phase? Matching of doses? EE< BPA 1:100 On the whole: MALE COPULATORY ELEMENTS ARE SENSITIVE END-POINTS NO CLEARCUT DIFFERENTIATED EFFECTS BETWEEN THE VARIOUS DEVELOPMENTAL PERIODS OF EXPOSURE SENSITIVITY OF THE ANIMAL MODEL IS PROVED BY THE EXPERIMENT WITH EE, AS POSITIVE CONTROL
