Pre-Validation of the Aromatase Assay using Human and Bovine Placental, and Human Recombinant Microsomes Endocrine Disruptor Methods Validation Subcommittee (EDMVS) Plenary Session June 5, 2003 Research Triangle Park, North Carolina RTI International is a tradename of Research Triangle Institute.

Overview  Background: Aromatase (CYP19)  Study Goals  Substrate characterization  Placenta tissues – human, bovine, porcine  Methods  Results Protein yield P450 Spectra Aromatase activities  Conclusions  Future studies

Aromatase  Cytochrome P450 enzyme – CYP19  Present in the gonads and placenta  Responsible for the biosynthesis of estrogen steroid hormones  Can be inhibited at the level of gene expression (e.g., ethylhexylphthalate), or directly at enzyme (e.g. azoles)

Steroid Hormone Biosynthesis by Aromatase

Steroid Hormone Biosynthesis by Aromatase (cont’d)

Study Goals The goal of this work is to identify the optimal factors and conditions for the assay of aromatase, including:  Characterization of radiolabeled substrate (androstenedione)  Selection of mammalian placenta allowing sufficient yield of catalytically-active microsomal protein, and assessment of human recombinant CYP19  Optimization of assay with respect to concentration of protein, cofactors, substrate, and incubation time using a factorial design  Using this optimized assay, determine the effect of selected substances on aromatase activity

Substrate Characterization Sources  Nonradiolabeled 4-androstene-3,17-dione (99%): Sigma Chemical Co.  Radiolabeled [1  - 3 H(N)]androst-4-ene-3,17-dione: Perkin-Elmer Life Science  Specific activity: 25.3 Ci/mmol  Radiochemical purity: 98%

Placenta Tissues (con’t)

Methods Preparation of microsomes from tissues  Iced-down (not frozen!) within 10 min of delivery  Soft tissue harvested, homogenized in cold buffer  Homogenate 10,000g for 30 min, 4  C  Supernatant 100,000g for 60 min, 4  C  Pellet resuspended in buffer, 100,000g for 60 min, 4  C  Pellet “washed” by repeating above  Resuspended in buffer, protein concentration determined Spectral P450 content determination: difference spectrum, 400 – 500 nm, of CO vs. CO/dithionite reduced microsomes, quantitation using extinction coefficient for the 450 nm absorbance of 100 mM -1 cm -1

Addition of the following into 16 x 100 mm test tubes: 0.1 mLpropylene glycol 50.0 nM 3 H-androstenedione (0.1 μCi) 1.7 mMNADP mMglucose-6-phosphate 1.0 uglucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase Dilute to 1.0 mL volume with phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, and warm to 37 °C Preparation of placental or recombinant microsomal pellet Suspension of placental or recombinant microsomes and dilution to ~0.1 mg/mL in phosphate buffer Warm microsomes to 37 °C Add 1.0 mL placental microsomal suspension to each test tube Incubate at 37 °C for 30 minutes in shaking water bath Methods (cont’d)

Add 2.0 mL of CH 2 Cl 2 to quench enzyme reaction; vortex for 30 seconds; centrifuge for 10 minutes at 500 rpm Transfer organic layer to a capped vial. Add 2.0 mL of CH 2 Cl 2 to test tube containing aqueous layer; vortex for 30 seconds; centrifuge for 10 minutes at 500 rpm Transfer organic layer to a capped vial. Add 2.0 mL of CH 2 Cl 2 to test tube containing aqueous layer; vortex for 30 seconds; centrifuge for 10 minutes at 500 rpm Transfer organic layer to a capped vial. Prepare aliquots of each organic extract for analysis by LSC. Transfer aqueous layer to a capped vial; transfer 0.5 mL to a LSC vial; add 10.0 mL scintillation cocktail; count in LSC. Methods (cont’d)

Tissue Procurement Issues Human placenta  Caesarian section allows for 1) timed delivery and optimal collection conditions, and 2) less chance of disease transmission Bovine and porcine  Requires farms close to laboratories, assistance of farm staff  Deliveries seasonal, and any time of day

P450 Difference Spectrum Human Recombinant CYP19

Results (cont’d)

Conclusions Collection conditions used for placentas are crucial to activity Human Placentas  easiest to collect under optimal conditions  well-defined morphology and good yield of microsomal protein  high activity  Human recombinant, comparable activity with best placental preparations However,  SOPs must be in place for handing potentially infectious materials  Although Caesarian vs. birth canal delivery minimizes infection of the placental tissue, information regarding screening for HIV, hepatitis, etc. should be obtained if available.

Future Studies Optimization of conditions using a factorial design

Future Studies Determination of variance of the optimized assay  Using the optimized conditions determined for each preparation, three technicians independently conduct the assay on three separate days  The results are assessed for technician-to-technician and day-to- day variance.

Future Studies Determination of IC 50 for :  aminoglutethimide (non-steroidal aromatase Inhibitor)  4-hydroxyandrostenedione (potent steroidal aromatase inhibitor  chrysin (potent flavonoid)  genistein (weak isoflavonoid)  ketoconazole (weak imidazole anti-fungal)  econazole (potent imidazole anti-fungal)  atrazine (affects aromatase gene expression; no aromatase inhibition)  bis-(2-ethylhexyl)phthlate (affects aromatase gene expression; no aromatase inhibition)  nonylphenol (affects AR/ER; no aromatase inhibition)  lindane (affects StAR and cholesterol metabolism; no aromatase inhibition)  dibenz(a,h)anthracene
