Treatment
View SamplesWe have determined the gene expression profile induced by 17 alpha-ethynyl estradiol (EE) in Ishikawa cells, a human uterine-derived estrogen-sensitive cell line, at various doses (1 pM, 100 pM, 10 nM, and 1 microM) and time points (8, 24, and 48 h). The transcript profiles were compared between treatment groups and controls (vehicle-treated) using high-density oligonucleotide arrays to determine the expression level of approximately 38,500 human genes. By trend analysis, we determined that the expression of 2560 genes was modified by exposure to EE in a dose- and time-dependent manner (p </= 0.0001). The annotation available for the genes affected indicates that EE exposure results in changes in multiple molecular pathways affecting various biological processes, particularly associated with development, morphogenesis, organogenesis, cell proliferation, cell organization, and biogenesis. All of these processes are also affected by estrogen exposure in the uterus of the rat. Comparison of the response to EE in both the rat uterus and the Ishikawa cells showed that 71 genes are regulated in a similar manner in vivo as well as in vitro. Further, some of the genes that show a robust response to estrogen exposure in Ishikawa cells are well known to be estrogen responsive, in various in vivo studies, such as PGR, MMP7, IGFBP3, IGFBP5, SOX4, MYC, EGR1, FOS, CKB, and CCND2, among others. These results indicate that transcript profiling can serve as a viable tool to select reliable in vitro systems to evaluate potential estrogenic activities of target chemicals and to identify genes that are relevant for the estrogen response.

View SamplesThe rat uterus responds to acute estrogen treatment with a series of well characterized physiological responses; however, the gene expression changes required to elicit these responses have not been fully characterized. In order to understand early events induced by estrogen exposure in vivo, we evaluated the temporal gene expression in the uterus of the immature rat after a single dose of 17 Alpha-ethynyl estradiol (EE) by microarray analysis, evaluating the expression of 15,923 genes. Immature 20 day old rats were exposed to a single dose of EE (10 ug/kg) and the effect on uterine histology, weight and gene expression were determined after 1, 2, 8, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. EE induced changes in the expression of 3,867 genes, at least at one time point (p¡Ü0.0001), and at least 1.5 fold (up- or down-regulated). Specifically, the expression of 8, 116, 3030, 2076, 381, 445, and 125 genes was modified at 1, 2, 8, 24, 48, 72 or 96 hours after exposure to EE respectively (p¡Ü0.0001, t Test). At the tissue and organ level, a clear uterotrophic response was elicited by EE after only 8 h, reaching a maximum after 24 h and remaining detectable even after 96 h of exposure. The uterine phenotypic changes were induced by sequential changes in the transcriptional status of a large number of genes, in a program that involves multiple molecular pathways. Using the gene ontology to better understand the temporal response to estrogen exposure, we determined that the earliest changes were in the expression of genes whose products are involved in transcriptional regulation and signal transduction, followed by genes implicated in protein synthesis, energy utilization, solute transport, cell proliferation and differentiation, tissue remodeling and immunological responses among other pathways. The compendium of genes here presented represents a comprehensive compilation of estrogen-responsive genes involved in the uterotrophic response.
