abstract = {Assessment of endocrine disruption currently relies on
testing strategies involving adult vertebrates. In order to
minimize the use of animal tests according to the 3Rs
principle of replacement, reduction and refinement, we
propose a transcriptomics and fish embryo based approach as
an alternative to identify and analyze an estrogenic
activity of environmental chemicals. For this purpose, the
suitability of 48 h and 7 days post-fertilization zebrafish
and medaka embryos to test for estrogenic disruption was
evaluated. The embryos were exposed to the phytoestrogen
genistein and subsequently analyzed by microarrays and
quantitative real-time PCR. The functional analysis showed
that the genes affected related to multiple metabolic and
signaling pathways in the early fish embryo, which reflect
the known components of genistein's mode of actions, like
apoptosis, estrogenic response, hox gene expression and
steroid hormone synthesis. Moreover, the transcriptomic data
also suggested a thyroidal mode of action and disruption of
the nervous system development. The parallel testing of two
fish species provided complementary data on the effects of
genistein at gene expression level and facilitated the
separation of common from species-dependent effects.
Overall, the study demonstrated that combining fish embryo
testing with transcriptomics can deliver abundant
information about the mechanistic effects of endocrine
disrupting chemicals, rendering this strategy a promising
alternative approach to test for endocrine disruption in a
whole organism in-vitro scale system.},
