In order to study the influence of temperature on vitellogenin gene and estrogen receptor gene expression in primary hepatocytes from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), cells were exposed to 17beta-estradiol, bisphenol-A and nonylphenol for 48 and 96 hr. Induction of vitellogenin-mRNA expression was detected in a non-radioactive dot blot/RNAse protection assay and by RT-PCR. In the dot blot/RNAse protection assay, the estrogenic potentials of bisphenol-A and nonylphenol were about 10(4)- to 10(5)-fold and 10(5)-fold lower than that of 17beta-estradiol, respectively. The relative estrogenic potential did not show any difference between 14 and 18 degrees C. In contrast, at 18 degrees C, RT-PCR analysis revealed increased amounts of vitellogenin- and estrogen receptor-mRNA after 12 and 24 hr of exposure to 17beta-estradiol, if compared to 14 degrees C. Owing to increased vitellogenin gene expression at 18 degrees C, the sensitivity of primary hepatocytes to 17beta-estradiol and bisphenol-A could be increased.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D014819 Vitellogenins Phospholipoglycoproteins produced in the fat body of egg-laying animals such as non-mammalian VERTEBRATES; ARTHROPODS; and others. Vitellogenins are secreted into the HEMOLYMPH, and taken into the OOCYTES by receptor-mediated ENDOCYTOSIS to form the major yolk proteins, VITELLINS. Vitellogenin production is under the regulation of steroid hormones, such as ESTRADIOL and JUVENILE HORMONES in insects. Microvitellogenin,Vitellogenin,Vitellogenin II
