Estrogen receptor-mediated induction of zona radiata (ZR) and vitellogenin (VTG) mRNA and protein in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was compared to assess their utility as biomarkers for exposure to estrogenic compounds. Partial sequences of rainbow trout ZR and beta-actin were cloned by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using degenerate primers based on conserved regions across a number of species. A 549 bp fragment of the rainbow trout ZR-gene showed a high degree of amino acid sequence identity to that of salmon (77%), winter flounder (64%), carp ZP2 (63%) and medaka (61%) ZR-proteins. The 1020 bp beta-actin fragment was approximately 100% identical to sequences from several species. Real-time PCR was used to quantify the induction of ZR-gene and VTG in rainbow trout liver after in vivo exposure to estradiol-17 beta (E(2)) (0.01, 0.1, 1.0 or 10 mg/kg body weight (bw) fish) or alpha-zearalenol (alpha-ZEA) (0.1, 1.0 or 10 mg/kg bw). Real-time PCR and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that ZR and VTG were induced in both the liver and the plasma after a single injection of E(2) or alpha-ZEA. ZR was more responsive to low levels of E(2) and alpha-ZEA than VTG, and real-time PCR was shown to be more sensitive than the ELISA. Rainbow trout ZR-gene and proteins provide a sensitive biomarker for assessing estrogenic activity.
