Detection of Estrogen Receptor Endocrine Disruptor Potency of Commonly Used Organochlorine Pesticides Using the LUMI-CELL ER Bioassay
DEVELOPMENTAL AND REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY Detection of Estrogen Receptor Endocrine Disruptor Potency of Commonly Used Organochlorine Pesticides Using The LUMI-CELL ER Bioassay John D. Gordon1, Andrew C: Chu1, Michael D. Chu2, Michael S. Denison3, George C. Clark1 1Xenobiotic Detection Systems, Inc., 1601 E. Geer St., Suite S, Durham, NC 27704, USA 2Alta Analytical Perspectives, 2714 Exchange Drive, Wilmington, NC 28405, USA 3Dept. of Environmental Toxicology, Meyer Hall, Univ. of California, Davis; Davis, CA 95616 USA Introduction Organochlorine pesticides are found in many ecosystems worldwide as result of agricultural and industrial activities and exist as complex mixtures. The use of these organochlorine pesticides has resulted in the contamination of lakes and streams, and eventually the animal and human food chain. Many of these pesticides, such as pp ’-DDT, pp ’-DDE, Kepone, Vinclozolin, and Methoxychlor (a substitute for the banned DDT), have been described as putative estrogenic endocrine disruptors, and act by mimicking endogenous estrogen 1-3 . Estrogenic compounds can have a significant detrimental effect on the endocrine and reproductive systems of both human and other animal populations 4 . Previous studies have shown a strong association between several EDCs (17p-Estradiol, DES, Zeralanol, Zeralenone, Coumestrol, Genistein, Biochanin A, Diadzein, Naringenin, Tamoxifin) and estrogenic activity via uterotropic assay, cell height, gland number, increased lactoferrin, and a transcriptional activity assay using BG1Luc4E2 cells4 . Some other examples of the effects of these EDCs are: decreased reproductive success and feminization of males in several wildlife species; increased hypospadias along with reductions in sperm counts in men; increase in the incidence of human breast and prostate cancers; and endometriosis 3-5 . -
Biopesticides – Expectations for Control
Biopesticides – Expectations for Control Jeanette Gaultier, Crops Knowledge Centre, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives, Carman, MB R0G 0J0 Email: [email protected] A biopesticide is a naturally occurring organism or substance that can be used to control pests. The term ‘biopesticide’ can be applied to microorganisms, biochemicals and plant extracts that are used as pest control products. Although not the case in Canada, some countries also consider plants with ‘incorporated protectants’ (i.e. transgenic crops) as biopesticides. Interest in biopesticides is increasing because such products are often recognized as ‘reduced’ or ‘low’ risk alternatives to conventional pesticides. In Canada, a pesticide is considered to be of reduced risk if human health and/or environmental risks are decreased relative to other pesticides registered for the same use. General characteristics of reduced risk pesticides include (PMRA, 2002): • Low toxicity; • Limited effects on non-target organisms; • Good environmental profile; • Low pest resistance potential; • Decreased application rates or applications; and • Compatible with integrated pest management principles. A product doesn’t have to be a biopesticide to be considered reduced risk. Conversely, biopesticides are often, but not always, classified as reduced risk. Biopesticides currently account for only a small percentage (~1%) of the global pesticide market (Copping and Menn, 2000; Warrior, 2000; Rodgers, 1993). These products have generally found commercial success in niche markets such as horticulture, greenhouse, nursery and ornamental, and organic production. Uptake and use of biopesticides in conventional field crop agriculture remains low. Why is this the case? What should agricultural producers expect from biopesticides? Regulatory Expectations All pesticides, including biopesticides, available for use in Canada are regulated by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA). -

WP2 Case study: Endocrine disruptors i Abstract Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are at the centre stage of a scientific and regulatory controversy. Given the complexities, ambiguities and particularly the uncertainties surrounding the hazards of EDCs, the precautionary principle is of utmost relevance to the case. Even the definition of EDCs remains much contested, as do the scientific processes and methods through which to identify them. On the one hand, there is considerable societal pressure to regulate ECDs ‘now’. On the other hand, this quick regulation is often impossible as the limited evidence available does not suffice in the context of traditional EU scientific risk assessment. -
Supplemental File 11
Supplemental File 11 Supplemental Table 11. OECD Reference Chemical Performance in HT H295R versus OECD inter-laboratory results and literature-reported results. Chemical identifiers (chemical name and casn) are provided for the 25 reference chemicals that overlapped between high-throughput (HT) H295R screening and the OECD inter-laboratory validation study (Hecker et al., 2011). Trilostane, glyphosate, and human chorionic gonadotrophin were not screened in the HT H295R assay. The adjusted maxmMd value, quadrants of the steroid synthesis pathway affected (progestagens (P), glucocorticoids (G), androgens (A), and/or estrogens (E)), and the number of steroid hormones affected using the ANOVA-based logic described in the main text are also provided. The OECD inter-laboratory results for estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) are summarized along with a brief overview of additional information from the reported literature for activity in the H295R assay (if other in vitro assay data are referenced, the assay type is provided). Only 2 of the 25 chemicals with overlapping data were reported as negative for effects on both E2 and T: ethylene dimethanesulfonate and benomyl. NA indicates that no concentration-response screening data were available (only single concentration screening available). # Chemical identifiers Results from HT H295R assay OECD Inter-laboratory and literature-reported Chemical name casn Adjusted maxmMd Quadrants # Steroid results of steroid hormones biosynthesis affected pathway affected 1 Mifepristone 84371-65-3 27 P 2 Used pharmacologically as an abortifacient with antiprogestagen, antiglucocorticoid, and antiandrogen properties. Moderate induction of E2 (2 to 4-fold induction) and T (equivocal) synthesis (Hecker, et al., 2011). Strong modulation of glucocorticoid pathway in H295R cells as a GR antagonist (Asser et al., 2014). -

Glyphosate: Unsafe on Any Plate
GLYPHOSATE: UNSAFE ON ANY PLATE ALARMING LEVELS OF MONSANTO’S GLYPHOSATE FOUND IN POPULAR AMERICAN FOODS “For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals from the moment of conception until death…These chemicals are now stored in the bodies of the vast majority of human beings, regardless of age. They occur in the mother’s milk, and probably in the tissues of the unborn child.”1 —RACHEL CARSON, SILENT SPRING “Glyphosate was significantly higher in humans [fed] conventional [food] compared with predominantly organic [fed] humans. Also the glyphosate residues in urine were grouped according to the human health status. Chronically ill humans had significantly higher glyphosate residues in urine than healthy humans”2 —MONIKA KRUGER, ENVIRONMENTAL & ANALYTICAL TOXICOLOGY “Analysis of individual tissues demonstrated that bone contained the highest concentration of [14C] glyphosate equivalents (0.3–31ppm). The remaining tissues contained glyphosate equivalents at a concentration of between 0.0003 and 11 ppm. In the bone and some highly perfused tissues, levels were statistically higher in males than in females.”3 —PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN FOOD, JOINT FAO/WHO MEETING 2004 1 Rachel Carson, Silent Spring, (Houghton Mifflin, 1961), Elixirs of Death, 15-16. 2 Krüger M, Schledorn P, Schrödl W, Hoppe HW, Lutz W, et al.
