Covert signal disruption: Anti-ecdysteroidal activity of bisphenol a involves cross talk between signaling pathways

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY, 24(1), 146–152.

By: X. Mu n, C. Rider n, G. Hwang n, H. Hoy n & G. LeBlanc n 

author keywords: crustacean; pollutant; reproduction; steroid; terpenoid
MeSH headings : Animals; Benzhydryl Compounds; Daphnia / drug effects; Daphnia / embryology; Daphnia / growth & development; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Ecdysteroids / antagonists & inhibitors; Ecdysterone / pharmacology; Juvenile Hormones / physiology; Molting / drug effects; Phenols / antagonists & inhibitors; Phenols / toxicity; Sex Differentiation / drug effects; Signal Transduction / drug effects; Time; Water Pollutants, Chemical / toxicity
topics (OpenAlex): Effects and risks of endocrine disrupting chemicals; Environmental Toxicology and Ecotoxicology; Toxic Organic Pollutants Impact
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that bisphenol A is chronically toxic to daphnids, probably through its ability to interfere with ecdysteroid/juvenoid regulated processes, however, effects are elicited at levels that are not likely to pose environmental concern. (via Semantic Scholar)

2004 journal article

Synergistic interaction of endocrine-disrupting chemicals: Model development using an ecdysone receptor antagonist and a hormone synthesis inhibitor

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY, 23(4), 1085–1091.

By: X. Mu n & G. LeBlanc n 

author keywords: endocrine; disruptors; invertebrate; mixtures; synergy
MeSH headings : Algorithms; Animals; Daphnia / growth & development; Daphnia / physiology; Drug Interactions; Ecdysteroids / biosynthesis; Embryonic Development; Endocrine System / drug effects; Environmental Pollutants / toxicity; Fungicides, Industrial / toxicity; Models, Theoretical; Pyrimidines / toxicity; Risk Assessment; Testosterone / pharmacology
topics (OpenAlex): Pharmaceutical and Antibiotic Environmental Impacts; Chemistry and Chemical Engineering; Effects and risks of endocrine disrupting chemicals
TL;DR: The hypothesis that combined exposure to chemicals that inhibit hormone synthesis and that function as hormone receptor antagonists would result in greater‐than‐additive toxicity is tested and it is demonstrated that some endocrine toxicants can synergize, and this synergy can be accurately predicted.

2002 journal article

Developmental toxicity of testosterone in the crustacean Daphnia magna involves anti-ecdysteroidal activity

GENERAL AND COMPARATIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY, 129(2), 127–133.

By: X. Mu n & G. LeBlanc n 

MeSH headings : Animals; Crustacea / drug effects; Crustacea / embryology; Crustacea / growth & development; Ecdysteroids / antagonists & inhibitors; Ecdysterone / pharmacology; Embryo, Nonmammalian / drug effects; Gonadal Steroid Hormones / poisoning; Molting / drug effects; Testosterone / poisoning
topics (OpenAlex): Neurobiology and Insect Physiology Research; Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Plant and animal studies
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ecdysteroids regulate critical processes in daphnid embryo development and testosterone elicits embryo toxicity todaphnids by interfering with Ecdysteroid activity, and that ecdysone receptor antagonism could be one mechanism by which testosterone elicited these effects.

2002 journal article

Environmental antiecdysteroids alter embryo development in the crustacean Daphnia magna

JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL ZOOLOGY, 292(3), 287–292.

By: X. Mu n & G. LeBlanc n 

MeSH headings : Animals; Congenital Abnormalities / physiopathology; Congenital Abnormalities / veterinary; Daphnia / embryology; Ecdysone / antagonists & inhibitors; Female; Fertility; Fungicides, Industrial / pharmacology; Molting / physiology; Pyrimidines / pharmacology
topics (OpenAlex): Neurobiology and Insect Physiology Research; Environmental Toxicology and Ecotoxicology; Aquaculture Nutrition and Growth
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ecdysteroids are critical to normal crustacean embryo development and environmental antiecdysteroidal activity may provide a means by which environmental chemicals impact crustaceans species while not affecting vertebrates. (via Semantic Scholar)
