Because exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) has been linked to health problems in humans and wildlife, BPA analogues have been synthesized to be considered as replacement molecules. We here have examined estrogenic activity of BPA and five of its analogues, BPAF, BPE, BPC, BPC-Cl, and BPS by a combination of zebrafish-basedin vivoandin vitroassays. We used transgenic estrogen reporter (5xERE:GFP) fish to study agonistic effects of bisphenols. Exposures to BPA, BPAF, BPE, and BPC, induced GFP expression in estrogen reporter fish at low exposure concentrations in the heart valves and at higher concentrations in the liver, whereas BPC-Cl activated GFP expression mainly in the liver, and BPS faintly in the heart only. Thein vivoresponse was compared toin vitroestrogenicity of bisphenol exposure using reporter cells that express the zebrafish estrogen receptors driving expression of an estrogen response element (ERE)-luciferase reporter. In these cells, BPA, BPAF, BPC, BPE and BPS preferentially activated Esr1, whereas BPC-Cl preferentially activated Esr2a. By quantitative PCR we found that exposure to BPAF induced expression of the classical estrogen target genesvtg1, esr1,andcyp19a1bin a concentration response manner, but the most responsive target gene wasf13a1a. Exposure to BPC-Cl resulted in a different expression pattern ofvtg1andf13a1awith an activation at low concentrations, followed by a declining expression at higher concentrations. Because expression off13a1awas strongly activated by all compounds tested, we suggest including this mRNA as a biomarker for estrogenicity in larval fish. We further showed that exposure to BPAF and BPC-Cl increased E2 levels in zebrafish larvae, indicating that bisphenol exposures result in a feed-forward response that can further augment the estrogenic activity of these compounds.
