The results indicate that DES exerts its effects on membrane progesterone receptor alpha (mPRα) and induces oocyte maturation through nongenomic steroid mechanisms. This study provides empirical data that demonstrate the binding between DES and GmPRα.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Binding of DES to GmPRα was achieved by using radiolabeled DES and recombinant GmPRα expressed in culture cells or purified GmPRα proteins that coupled to graphene quantum dots (GQDs). Additionally, the competitive binding of fluorescently labeled progesterone to GmPRα-expressing cells was evaluated.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Although significant nonspecific binding of radiolabeled DES to the cell membrane that expresses GmPRα has been observed, specific binding of DES to GmPRα has been successfully identified in the presence of digitonin. Furthermore, the specific binding of DES to GmPRα was confirmed by a binding assay using GQD-GmPRα. The radiolabeled DES was shown to bind to GQD-GmPRα. Additionally, the competition for the binding of fluorescently labeled progesterone to GmPRα-expressing cells was achieved with the DES.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The results of the experiments revealed that DES binds to GmPRα. Thus, it can be concluded that DES induces goldfish oocyte maturation by binding to GmPRα.</p>","PeriodicalId":23177,"journal":{"name":"Toxicology Mechanisms and Methods","volume":" ","pages":"563-571"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139693039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
