Female mink (Mustela vison) are highly sensitive to organochlorine (OC)-induced reproductive impairment. However, mechanisms of this reproductive toxicity are unknown. We have investigated the possible role of steroid receptors in embryotoxicity and reduced neonate weights. Anestrous, juvenile female mink and pregnant adult mink were exposed to 3,3′,4,4′,5,5′-hexachlorobiphenyl (3HCB), a coplanar polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), or 2,2′,4,4′,5,5′-hexachlorobiphenyl (2HCB), a noncoplanar PCB congener. Both congeners impaired 17 beta-estradiol-stimulated (24 hr after ip administration of 100 μg E2β ip) up-regulation of uterine nuclear estrogen receptors (ERn) in anestrous mink. Embryotoxicity and reduced embryo growth were first observed 14 days after exposure to 0.4 mg 3HCB/kg > 0.8 mg 3HCB/kg > 20 mg 2HCB/kg. In pregnant mink, all 3HCB treatments significantly increased progesterone receptor dissociation constants (PR Kd). ER concentration and PR total receptor number (Rt) were increased by 20 mg 2HCB/kg > 0.8 mg 3HCB/kg, but were unaffected by 0.4 mg 3HCB/kg. Serum E2β was below assay detection limits. Progesterone (P) concentrations were increased by 2HCB, decreased by 0.8 mg 3HCB/kg, and unchanged by 0,4 mg 3HCB/kg. Hepatic cytochrome P450 (P450) was induced 1.8-fold in anestrous and 2.2-foId in pregnant mink by 3HCB. Ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) was induced 13- and 4-fold in anestrous and pregnant mink, respectively. 2HCB exposure resulted in decreased P450 concentration in anestrous juveniles, but had no effect on P450 during gestation or EROD activity at any time. We propose that embryotoxicity and retarded embryo growth result from impairment of PR function and that differences in the efficacy of HCB treatments are a result of their dose-dependent, partial estrogenic actions which increase PR Rtvia up-regulation of ER.
