| | | | |
| - | Our aim is the expression of zebrafish (''Danio rerio'') membrane progestin receptor (mPR) in yeast to reliably measure steroid concentrations in water by inducing bioluminiscence.
| + | * [[Team:Tuebingen/ProjectOverview|Overview]] <br /> A short introduction including an animation film. |
| - | | + | * [[Team:Tuebingen/ProjectQuestions|Questions]] <br /> Every project should start with important questions, here are ours. |
| - | === Endocrine disruption in the aquatic environment ===
| + | * [[Team:Tuebingen/ProjectMechanism|Mechanism]] <br /> An in-depth explanation of our genetically engineered system. |
| - | Intersex fish have first been reported in UK rivers in 1978 just downstream of an sewage treatment plant (STP). Especially male young fish developed female sex tissue, so called ovotesties. What could have caused this unnatural occurrence?

| - | *Östrogene beeinflussen die Expression Tausender von Genen
| + | |
| - | *Der Substanzmix im Gewässer erschwert die Detektion und Analyse: “it has proved extremely difficult to accurately determine the concentration of steroid oestrogens in effluents”
| + | |

| - | === Liew et. al. - 2012 Polygenic Sex Determination System in Zebrafish (Polygenes Geschlechtsbestimmungssystem) ===
| + | |
| - | *Zebrafish sex is genetically determined with limited, secondary influences from the environment.
| + | |
| - | *No sign for CSD (chromosomal sex determination) was found in the species, which results in the conclusion, that Zebrafish might has a polygenic sex determination system.
| + | |
| - | *experiments were performed at Max-Planck-Institut für Entwicklungsbiologie in Tübingen, the zebrafish of different strains were bought from a local aquarium shop
| + | |
| - | *genomic DNA samples were extracted from tail fins
| + | |
| - | *“only” 89% of the DNA was restored
| + | |
| - | *there are no substantial differences between zebrafish male and female genomes and no dominant male/female genomes were discovered
| + | |
| - | *lack of oxygen level causes a reduction of estrogen synthesis → more androgen was built, which led to more male zebrafish in the population
| + | |

| - | === Hanna et al. - 2006 - Cell-surface expression, progestin binding, and rapid nongenomic signaling of zebrafish membrane progestin receptors alpha and beta in transfected cells ===
| + | |
| - | *Ergebnis der Studie: spezifische Aktivierung der Progestin Receptoren mPRa und mPRb durch Steroide (Progesteron, Cortisol, Testosteron, Estrogen, 11-Desoxycortisol) im Zebrafisch
| + | |
| - | -> MAPK (mitogen-activated ptotein kinase) Aktivierung bei gleichzeitigem Absenken der Adenylatcyclase Aktivität (über Pertussis Toxin-sensitiven Gi Pathway)

| - | === Reupke - 2011 - Detektion dopingrelevanter anaboler Steroide in Pferdeurin und Pferdeplasma mithilfe eines Reportergen-Assays in Hefezellen ===
| + | |
| - | *Hefe mit dem humanen Androgenrezeptor hAR (fest ins Genom integriert) und dem Reportergen LacZ (-> ß-Galactosidase)
| + | |
| - | *Rezeptor liegt allerdings nur im Cytoplasma vor, ist nicht membranstänig -> Problem, da Steroide in konjugierter Form nicht durch die ZM diffundieren können, aber im Urin sehr häuftig in dieser Form vorliegen
| + | |
| - | *-> weitere potentielle Anwendung für unser Projekt: Dopingtest für Anabolika? Wenn unsere Hefe mit unserem Rezeptor so funktioniert, wie wir uns es vorstellen, wäre das eine deutliche Verbesserung der in der Doktorarbeit beschriebenen Methode, Einsatz auch im humanen Leistungssport denkbar.

| + | |
| - | *menschliche mPRa, PRb, mPRg der Familie der Progestin und AdipoQ Rezeptoren (PAQR) wurden in Hefe exprimiert
| + | |
| - | *man wollte die genaue Rolle dieser Rezeptoren innerhalb des nicht genomischen Progesteron Signalweges herausfinden
| + | |
| - | *Bei Bindung von Liganden an die PAQR-Rezeptoren in Hefe wurde die FET3 Expression aktiviert
| + | |
| - | **-> mPRa, mPRb, mPRg hemmen allerdings die FET3 Expression
| + | |
| - | **-> die Expression von FET3 wird normalerweise durch den Osmotin Rezeptor in Hefe kontrolliert
| + | |
| - | **-> FET3 wurde somit als Reporter für die Funktionalität der PAQR-Rezeptoren verwendet
