Gene expression change induced by bisphenol A in mouse urogenital sinus

ABSTRACT: Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), is a well-known, ubiquitous estrogenic chemical. To investigate the effects of fetal exposure to low-dose BPA on the development of the prostate, we first examined the alterations of in situ sex steroid hormonal environment in the mouse urogenital sinus (UGS). Next, to investigate the BPA-specific gene alterations related to increases of the E2 levels and aromatase activity, we performed comprehensive gene expression analysis using Affymetrix GeneChip in the BPA-treated or DES-treated male UGS at embryonic day 17th and postnatal day 1st. Pregnant female C57BL/6 mice were exposed to BPA (20 μg/kg/day) or synthetic estrogen Diethylstilbestrol (DES: 0.2 μg/kg/day), which were dissolved in tocopherol-stripped corn oil, on embryonic day
