Biodegradation of 17?-estradiol by Bacterial Co-culture Isolated from Manure.

ABSTRACT: Animal wastes are potential sources of natural and steroidal estrogen hormones into the environment. These hormones can be removed by microorganisms with induced enzymes. Two strains of 17?-estradiol-degrading bacteria (LM1 and LY1) were isolated from animal wastes. Based on biochemical characteristics and 16?S rDNA gene sequences, we identified strains LM1 and LY1 as belonging to the genus of Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas, respectively. Bacterial co-culture containing LM1 and LY1 bacterial strains could rapidly remove approximately 98% of E2 (5?mg?L-1) within 7 days. However, strains LM1 and LY1 degraded 77% and 68% of E2 when they were incubated alone, respectively. More than 90% of 17?-estradiol (E2,???20?mg?L-1) could be removed by bacterial co-culture. Low C/N ratio (1:35) was more suitable for bacterial growth and E2 degradation. The optimal pH for bacterial co-culture to degrade E2 ranged from 7.00 to 9.00. Coexisting sodium acetate, glucose and sodium citrate decreased E2 degradation in the first 4 days, but more E2 was removed when they were depleted. The growth of the bacterial co-culture was not significantly decreased by Ni, Pb, Cd or Cu at or below 0.8, 1.2, 1.6 or 0.8?mg?L-1, respectively. These data highlight the usefulness of bacterial co-culture in the bioremediation of estrogen-contaminated environments.

Project description:Breast cancer (BC) is a leading cause of cancer deaths in women in less developed countries and the second leading cause of cancer death in women in the U.S. In this study, we report the inhibition of E2-mediated mammary tumorigenesis by Cuminum cyminum (cumin) administered via the diet as cumin powder, as well as dried ethanolic extract. Groups of female ACI rats were given either an AIN-93M diet or a diet supplemented with cumin powder (5% and 7.5%, w/w) or dried ethanolic cumin extract (1%, w/w), and then challenged with subcutaneous E2 silastic implants (1.2 cm; 9 mg). The first appearance of a palpable mammary tumor was significantly delayed by both the cumin powder and extract. At the end of the study, the tumor incidence was 96% in the control group, whereas only 55% and 45% animals had palpable tumors in the cumin powder and extract groups, respectively. Significant reductions in tumor volume (660 ± 122 vs. 138 ± 49 and 75 ± 46 mm3) and tumor multiplicity (4.21 ± 0.43 vs. 1.16 ± 0.26 and 0.9 ± 0.29 tumors/animal) were also observed by the cumin powder and cumin extract groups, respectively. The cumin powder diet intervention dose- and time-dependently offset E2-related pituitary growth, and reduced the levels of circulating prolactin and the levels of PCNA in the mammary tissues. Mechanistically, the cumin powder diet resulted in a significant reversal of E2-associated modulation in ERα, CYP1A1 and CYP1B1. Further, the cumin powder diet reversed the expression levels of miRNAs (miR-182, miR-375, miR-127 and miR-206) that were highly modulated by E2 treatment. We analyzed the composition of the extract by GC/MS and established cymene and cuminaldehyde as major components, and further detected no signs of gross or systemic toxicity. Thus, cumin bioactives can significantly delay and prevent E2-mediated mammary tumorigenesis in a safe and effective manner, and warrant continued efforts to develop these clinically translatable spice bioactives as chemopreventives and therapeutics against BC.
