Abstract
The use of millimeter waves (MMW) will exponentially grow in the coming years due to their future utilization in 5G/6G networks. The question of possible biological effects at these frequencies has been raised. In this present study, we aimed to investigate gene expression changes under exposure to MMW using the Bulk RNA Barcoding and sequencing (BRB-seq) technology. To address this issue, three exposure scenarios were performed aiming at: i) comparing the cellular response of two primary culture of keratinocytes (HEK and NHEK) and one keratinocyte derivate cell line (HaCaT) exposed to MMW; ii) exploring the incident power density dose-effect on gene expression in HaCaT cell line; and, iii) studying the exposure duration at the new ICNIRP exposure limit for the general population. With the exception of heat effect induced by high power MMW (over 10 mW/cm2), those exposure scenarios have not enabled us to demonstrate important gene expression changes in the different cell populations studied. Very few differentially genes were observed between MMW exposed samples and heat shock control, and most of them were significantly associated with heat shock response that may reflect small differences in the heat generation. Together these results show that acute exposure to MMW has no effects on the transcriptional landscape of human keratinocyte models under athermal conditions.

Abstract
The P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux pump plays a major role in xenobiotic detoxification. The inhibition of its activity by environmental contaminants remains however rather little characterised. The present study was designed to develop a combination of different approaches to identify P-gp inhibitors among a large number of pesticides using in silico and in vitro models. First, the prediction performance of four web tools was evaluated alone or in combination using a set of recently marketed drugs. The best combination of web tools-AdmetSAR2.0/PgpRules/pkCSM-was next used to predict P-gp activity inhibition by 762 pesticides. Among the 187 pesticides predicted to be P-gp inhibitors, 11 were tested in vitro for their ability to inhibit the efflux of reference substrates (rhodamine 123 and Hoechst 33342) in P-gp overexpressing MCF7R cells and to inhibit the efflux of the reference substrate rhodamine 123 in the Caco-2 cell monolayer. In MCF7R cell assays, ivermectin B1a, emamectin B1 benzoate, spinosad, dimethomorph and tralkoxydim inhibited P-gp activity; ivermectin B1a, emamectin B1 benzoate and spinosad were determined to be stronger inhibitors (half-maximal inhibitory concentration [IC50 ] of 3 ± 1, 5 ± 1 and 7 ± 1 µM, respectively) than dimethomorph and tralkoxydim (IC50 of 102 ± 7 and 88 ± 7 µM, respectively). Ivermectin B1a, emamectin B1 benzoate, spinosad and dimethomorph also inhibited P-gp activity in Caco-2 cell monolayer assays, with dimethomorph being a weaker P-gp inhibitor. These combined approaches could be used to identify P-gp inhibitors among food contaminants, but need to be optimised and adapted for high-throughput screening.

Abstract
Mycotoxins and their metabolites are a family of compounds that contains a great diversity of both structure and biological properties. Information on their toxicity is spread within several databases and in scientific literature. Due to the number of molecules and their structure diversity, the cost and time required for hazard evaluation of each compound is unrealistic. In that purpose, new approach methodologies (NAMs) can be applied to evaluate such large set of molecules. Among them, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) in silico models could be useful to predict the mutagenic and carcinogenic properties of mycotoxins. First, a complete list of 904 mycotoxins and metabolites was built. Then, some known mycotoxins were used to determine the best QSAR tools for mutagenicity and carcinogenicity predictions. The best tool was further applied to the whole list of 904 mycotoxins. At the end, 95 mycotoxins were identified as both mutagen and carcinogen and should be prioritized for further evaluation.

Abstract
Simple Summary Hormone receptor positive breast cancer patients are treated with anti-hormone molecules as a standard of care. However, resistance frequently occurs, leading to hormone resistant metastatic relapses in foreign organs. Understanding the molecular mechanisms through which breast cancer cells evade therapeutic pressure is of paramount interest. Hypoxia, which refers to oxygen deprivation and is characterized by the activation of hypoxia inducible factors, is a common feature of the solid tumor microenvironment, yet its influence on estrogen receptor alpha activity remains elusive. Here, we investigate the consequence of hypoxia and the signaling of hypoxia inducible factors on hormone responsiveness in breast cancer cells and its clinical implications. Abstract Estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα) is the driving transcription factor in 70% of breast cancers and its activity is associated with hormone dependent tumor cell proliferation and survival. Given the recurrence of hormone resistant relapses, understanding the etiological factors fueling resistance is of major clinical interest. Hypoxia, a frequent feature of the solid tumor microenvironment, has been described to promote endocrine resistance by triggering ERα down-regulation in both in vitro and in vivo models. Yet, the consequences of hypoxia on ERα genomic activity remain largely elusive. In the present study, transcriptomic analysis shows that hypoxia regulates a fraction of ERα target genes, underlying an important regulatory overlap between hypoxic and estrogenic signaling. This gene expression reprogramming is associated with a massive reorganization of ERα cistrome, highlighted by a massive loss of ERα binding sites. Profiling of enhancer acetylation revealed a hormone independent enhancer activation at the vicinity of genes harboring hypoxia inducible factor (HIFα) binding sites, the major transcription factors governing hypoxic adaptation. This activation counterbalances the loss of ERα and sustains hormone-independent gene expression. We describe hypoxia in luminal ERα (+) breast cancer as a key factor interfering with endocrine therapies, associated with poor clinical prognosis in breast cancer patients.

Abstract
In comparison to analytical tools, bioassays provide higher sensitivity and more complex evaluation of environmental samples and are indispensable tools for monitoring increasing in anthropogenic pollution. Nevertheless, the disadvantage in cellular assays stems from the material variability used within the assays, and an interlaboratory adaptation does not usually lead to satisfactory test sensitivities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of material variability on CXCL12 secretion by T47D cells, the outcome of an estrogenic activity assay, the CXCL-test. For this purpose, the cell line sources, sera suppliers, experimental and seeding media, and the amount of cell/well were tested. The multivariable linear model (MLM), employed as an innovative approach in this field for parameter evaluation, identified that all the tested parameters had significant effects. Knowledge of the contributions of each parameter has permitted step-by-step optimization. The most beneficial approach was seeding 20,000 cells/well directly in treatment medium and using DMEM for the treatment. Great differences in both basal and maximal cytokine secretions among the three tested cell lines and different impacts of each serum were also observed. Altogether, both these biologically based and highly variable inputs were additionally assessed by MLM and a subsequent two-step evaluation, which revealed a lower variability and satisfactory reproducibility of the test. This analysis showed that not only parameter and procedure optimization but also the evaluation methodology must be considered from the perspective of interlaboratory method adaptation. This overall methodology could be applied to all bioanalytical methods for fast multiparameter and accurate analysis.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an efflux pump implicated in pharmacokinetics and drug-drug interactions. The identification of its substrates is consequently an important issue, notably for drugs under development. For such a purpose, various in silico methods have been developed, but their relevance remains to be fully established. The present study was designed to get insight about this point, through determining the performance values of six freely accessible Web-tools (ADMETlab, AdmetSAR2.0, PgpRules, pkCSM, SwissADME and vNN-ADMET), computationally predicting P-gp-mediated transport. Using an external test set of 231 marketed drugs, approved over the 2010-2020 period by the US Food and Drug Administration and fully in vitro characterized for their P-gp substrate status, various performance parameters (including sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, Matthews correlation coefficient and area under the receiver operating characteristics curve) were determined. They were found to rather poorly meet criteria commonly required for acceptable prediction, whatever the Web-tools were used alone or in combination. Predictions of being P-gp substrate or non-substrate by these online in silico methods may therefore be considered with caution.

Abstract
As of today, only acute effects of RF fields have been confirmed to represent a potential health hazard and they are attributed to non-specific heating (≥ 1 °C) under high-level exposure. Yet, the possibility that environmental RF impact living matter in the absence of temperature elevation needs further investigation. Since HSF1 is both a thermosensor and the master regulator of heat-shock stress response in eukaryotes, it remains to assess HSF1 activation in live cells under exposure to low-level RF signals. We thus measured basal, temperature-induced, and chemically induced HSF1 trimerization, a mandatory step on the cascade of HSF1 activation, under RF exposure to continuous wave (CW), Global System for Mobile (GSM), and Wi-Fi-modulated 1800 MHz signals, using a bioluminescence resonance energy transfer technique (BRET) probe. Our results show that, as expected, HSF1 is heat-activated by acute exposure of transiently transfected HEK293T cells to a CW RF field at a specific absorption rate of 24 W/kg for 30 min. However, we found no evidence of HSF1 activation under the same RF exposure condition when the cell culture medium temperature was fixed. We also found no experimental evidence that, at a fixed temperature, chronic RF exposure for 24 h at a SAR of 1.5 and 6 W/kg altered the potency or the maximal capability of the proteasome inhibitor MG132 to activate HSF1, whatever signal used. We only found that RF exposure to CW signals (1.5 and 6 W/kg) and GSM signals (1.5 W/kg) for 24 h marginally decreased basal HSF1 activity.

Abstract
Millimeter waves (MMW) are broadband frequencies that have recently been used in several applications in wireless communications, medical devices and nonlethal weapons [i.e., the nonlethal weapon, Active Denial Systems, (ADS) operating at 94-95 GHz, CW]. However, little information is available on their potential effects on humans. These radio-frequencies are absorbed and stopped by the first layer of the skin. In this study, we evaluated the effects of 94 GHz on the gene expression of skin cells. Two rat populations consisting of 17 young animals and 14 adults were subjected to chronic long-term 94 GHz MMW exposure. Each group of animals was divided into exposed and sham subgroups. The two independent exposure experiments were conducted for 5 months with rats exposed 3 h per day for 3 days per week to an incident power density of 10 mW/cm2, which corresponded to twice the ICNIRP limit of occupational exposure for humans. At the end of the experiment, skin explants were collected and RNA was extracted. Then, the modifications to the whole gene expression profile were analyzed with a gene expression microarray. Without modification of the animal's temperature, long-term chronic 94 GHz-MMW exposure did not significantly modify the gene expression of the skin on either the young or adult rats.

Abstract
Estrogen receptor (ERα) is central in driving the development of hormone-dependent breast cancers. A major challenge in treating these cancers is to understand and overcome endocrine resistance. The Megakaryoblastic Leukemia 1 (MKL1, MRTFA) protein is a master regulator of actin dynamic and cellular motile functions, whose nuclear translocation favors epithelial-mesenchymal transition. We previously demonstrated that nuclear accumulation of MKL1 in estrogen-responsive breast cancer cell lines promotes hormonal escape. In the present study, we confirm through tissue microarray analysis that nuclear immunostaining of MKL1 is associated with endocrine resistance in a cohort of breast cancers and we decipher the underlining mechanisms using cell line models. We show through gene expression microarray analysis that the nuclear accumulation of MKL1 induces dedifferentiation leading to a mixed luminal/basal phenotype and suppresses estrogen-mediated control of gene expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation of DNA coupled to high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq) shows a profound reprogramming in ERα cistrome associated with a massive loss of ERα binding sites (ERBSs) generally associated with lower ERα-binding levels. Novel ERBSs appear to be associated with EGF and RAS signaling pathways. Collectively, these results highlight a major role of MKL1 in the loss of ERα transcriptional activity observed in certain cases of endocrine resistances, thereby contributing to breast tumor cells malignancy.

Abstract
The glucose analogue 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) impedes cancer progression in animal models and is currently being assessed as an anticancer therapy, yet the mode of action of this drug of high clinical significance has not been fully delineated. In an attempt to better characterize its pharmacodynamics, an integrative UPLC-Q-Exactive-based joint metabolomic and lipidomic approach was undertaken to evaluate the metabolic perturbations induced by this drug in human HaCaT keratinocyte cells. R-XCMS data processing and subsequent multivariate pattern recognition, metabolites identification, and pathway analyses identified eight metabolites that were most significantly changed upon a 3 h 2-DG exposure. Most of these dysregulated features were emphasized in the course of lipidomic profiling and could be identified as ceramide and glucosylceramide derivatives, consistently with their involvement in cell death programming. Even though metabolomic analyses did not generally afford such clear-cut dysregulations, some alterations in phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine derivatives could be highlighted as well. Overall, these results support the adequacy of the proposed analytical workflow and might contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the promising effects of 2-DG.

Abstract
CXCL-test is a method that uses the estrogen-dependent secretion of the natural endogenous chemokine CXCL12 to evaluate the estrogenic activity of molecules. CXCL12 chemokine is involved in the estrogen dependent proliferation of breast cancer cells. Its measure is an indicator of cell proliferation and is used as an alternative test to classical proliferation test. Here we aimed to optimize this test, first to increase the number of tested molecules in a single assay and then to decrease the number of intermediate steps. The optimized CXCL-test was finally used for the evaluation of the estrogenic potency of emerging chemical pollutants: the UV filter benzophenones (BPs). The effect of BPs on CXCL12 secretion was also validated by real time quantitative RT-PCR. The optimized CXCL-test allowed a fast and direct assessment of estrogenic potency of molecules. The estrogenic activities of benzophenones were characterized and divided in two groups. The first one contains weak estrogenic compounds (BP, BP1, BP2, BP3, 234BP and 2344'BP). The second one contains medium estrogenic compounds (4BP, 44'BP, BP8, THB).

Abstract
Millimeter Waves (MMW) will be used in the next-generation of high-speed wireless technologies, especially in future Ultra-Broadband small cells in 5G cellular networks. Therefore, their biocompatibilities must be evaluated prior to their massive deployment. Using a microarray-based approach, we analyzed modifications to the whole genome of a human keratinocyte model that was exposed at 60.4 GHz-MMW at an incident power density (IPD) of 20 mW/cm2 for 3 hours in athermic conditions. No keratinocyte transcriptome modifications were observed. We tested the effects of MMWs on cell metabolism by co-treating MMW-exposed cells with a glycolysis inhibitor, 2-deoxyglucose (2dG, 20 mM for 3 hours), and whole genome expression was evaluated along with the ATP content. We found that the 2dG treatment decreased the cellular ATP content and induced a high modification in the transcriptome (632 coding genes). The affected genes were associated with transcriptional repression, cellular communication and endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis. The MMW/2dG co-treatment did not alter the keratinocyte ATP content, but it did slightly alter the transcriptome, which reflected the capacity of MMW to interfere with the bioenergetic stress response. The RT-PCR-based validation confirmed 6 MMW-sensitive genes (SOCS3, SPRY2, TRIB1, FAM46A, CSRNP1 and PPP1R15A) during the 2dG treatment. These 6 genes encoded transcription factors or inhibitors of cytokine pathways, which raised questions regarding the potential impact of long-term or chronic MMW exposure on metabolically stressed cells.

Abstract
Radiofrequency radiations constitute a new form of environmental pollution. Among them, millimeter waves (MMW) will be widely used in the near future for high speed communication systems. This study aimed therefore to evaluate the biocompatibility of MMW at 60 GHz. For this purpose, we used a whole gene expression approach to assess the effect of acute 60 GHz exposure on primary cultures of human keratinocytes. Controls were performed to dissociate the electromagnetic from the thermal effect of MMW. Microarray data were validated by RT-PCR, in order to ensure the reproducibility of the results. MMW exposure at 20 mW/cm2, corresponding to the maximum incident power density authorized for public use (local exposure averaged over 1 cm2), led to an increase of temperature and to a strong modification of keratinocyte gene expression (665 genes differentially expressed). Nevertheless, when temperature is artificially maintained constant, no modification in gene expression was observed after MMW exposure. However, a heat shock control did not mimic exactly the MMW effect, suggesting a slight but specific electromagnetic effect under hyperthermia conditions (34 genes differentially expressed). By RT-PCR, we analyzed the time course of the transcriptomic response and 7 genes have been validated as differentially expressed: ADAMTS6, NOG, IL7R, FADD, JUNB, SNAI2 and HIST1H1A. Our data evidenced a specific electromagnetic effect of MMW, which is associated to the cellular response to hyperthermia. This study raises the question of co-exposures associating radiofrequencies and other environmental sources of cellular stress.

Abstract
Xeno-estrogens, a class of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), can disturb estrogen receptor-dependent pathways involved in differentiation, proliferation or protection. Multiple methods have been developed to characterize the disturbances induced by EDCs in different cells or organs. In this study we have developed a new tool for the assessment of estrogenic compounds on differentiation. For this purpose we used the global model of NGF-induced neurite outgrowth of a pseudoneuronal PC12 cell line stably transfected with estrogen receptor alpha (PC12 ER). This new test evidences a new selectivity in which estradiol, genistein and 4-hydroxytamoxifen increased the NGF-induced neurite outgrowth of PC12 ER cells in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, the strong estrogen agonist 17α-ethynylestradiol, the strong antagonist raloxifene and the agonist bisphenol A were unable to modify the neuritogenesis of PC12 ER cells. Therefore, the analysis of neuritogenesis in PC12 ER cells constitutes a complementary tool for the characterization of xeno-estrogen activity and also serves as a basis for further studies focusing on the mechanisms of EDCs in a neuronal context. Moreover, this test constitutes an alternative to animal testing.

Abstract
Emerging high data rate wireless communication systems, currently under development, will operate at millimeter waves (MMW) and specifically in the 60 GHz band for broadband short-range communications. The aim of this study was to investigate potential effects of MMW radiation on the cellular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Human skin cell lines were exposed at 60.4 GHz, with incident power densities (IPD) ranging between 1 and 20 mW/cm(2) . The upper IPD limits correspond to the ICNIRP local exposure limit for the general public. The expression of ER-stress sensors, namely BIP and ORP150, was then examined by real-time RT-PCR. Our experimental data demonstrated that MMW radiations do not change BIP or ORP150 mRNA basal levels, whatever the cell line, the exposure duration or the IPD level. Co-exposure to the well-known ER-stress inducer thapsigargin (TG) and MMW were then assessed. Our results show that MMW exposure at 20 mW/cm(2) inhibits TG-induced BIP and ORP150 over expression. Experimental controls showed that this inhibition is linked to the thermal effect resulting from the MMW exposure.

Abstract
Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) is generally considered to be a good prognostic marker because almost 70% of ERα-positive tumors respond to anti-hormone therapies. Unfortunately, during cancer progression, mammary tumors can escape from estrogen control, resulting in resistance to treatment. In this study, we demonstrate that activation of the actin/megakaryoblastic leukemia 1 (MKL1) signaling pathway promotes the hormonal escape of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer cell lines. The actin/MKL1 signaling pathway is silenced in differentiated ERα-positive breast cancer MCF-7 and T47D cell lines and active in ERα-negative HMT-3522 T4-2 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, which have undergone epithelial-mesenchymal transition. We showed that MKL1 activation in MCF-7 cells, either by modulating actin dynamics or using MKL1 mutants, down-regulates ERα expression and abolishes E2-dependent cell growth. Interestingly, the constitutively active form of MKL1 represses PR and HER2 expression in these cells and increases the expression of HB-EGF, TGFβ, and amphiregulin growth factors in an E2-independent manner. The resulting expression profile (ER-, PR-, HER2-) typically corresponds to the triple-negative breast cancer expression profile.

Abstract
Many studies have reported proliferative, differentiating or protective effects of estradiol, notably through estrogen receptor alpha (ERα). On the contrary, the ligand-independent action of ERα is currently poorly documented notably in cell protection. The stable transfection of wild type, substituted or truncated form of ERα in PC12 cells (ERα negative cell line) lead the specific study of its ligand-independent action. Hence, we demonstrate here that, in the absence of E2, the expression of ERα prevents cells from apoptosis induced by serum deprivation. This protection is not due to an ERE-mediated transcription and does not require either AF-1 or AF-2 transactivation functions. It is afforded to the Y537 residue of ERα and activation of c-Src/Stat3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
In all vertebrate species, estrogens play a crucial role in the development, growth, and function of reproductive and nonreproductive tissues. A large number of natural or synthetic chemicals present in the environment and diet can interfere with estrogen signaling; these chemicals are called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) or xenoestrogens. Some of these compounds have been shown to induce adverse effects on human and animal health, and some compounds are suspected to contribute to diverse disease development. Because xenoestrogens have varying sources and structures and could act in additive or synergistic effects when combined, they have multiple mechanisms of action. Consequently, an important panel of in vivo and in vitro bioassays and chemical analytical tools was used to screen, evaluate, and characterize the potential impacts of these compounds on humans and animals. In this paper, we discuss different molecular actions of some of the major xenoestrogens found in food or the environment, and we summarize the current models used to evaluate environmental estrogens.

Abstract
The results from recent studies show that some benzophenones (BPs) and their hydroxylated metabolites can function as weak estrogens (E2) in the environment. However, little is known about the structure-activity relationship of these molecules. We have examined the effects of exposure to ten different BPs on the proliferation of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer cells and on the transcriptional activity of E2-target genes. We analyzed two genes that are tightly linked with estrogen-mediated proliferation, the CXCL12 and amphiregulin genes and two classical estrogen-responsive genes, the pS2 and progesterone receptor. Significant differences in the BPs efficiency to induce cell proliferation and endogenous E2-target gene expressions were observed. Using ERE-, Sp1-, AP1- and C3-reporter genes that contain different ER-binding sites in their promoter, we also showed significant differences in the BPs efficiency in activation of the ER transactivation. Together, our analyzes showed that the most active molecule is 4-hydroxy-BP. Docking analysis of the interaction of BPs in the ligand-binding pocket of ERα suggests that the minimum structural requirement for the estrogenic activity of BPs is a hydroxyl (OH) group in the phenyl A-ring that allows interaction with Glu-353, Arg-394 or Phe-404, which enhances the stability between BPs and ERα. Our modeling also indicates a loss of interaction between the OH groups of the phenyl B-ring and His-524. In addition, the presence of some OH groups in the phenyl B-ring can create repulsion forces, which may constrain helix 12 in an unfavorable position, explaining the differential estrogenic effects of BPs. These results, together with our analysis of BPs for their potency in activation of cell proliferation and ER-mediated transcription, report an improved understanding of the mechanism and structure–activity relationship of BPs.

Abstract
CXCR4 and CXCR7 are the two receptors for the chemokine CXCL12, a key mediator of the growth effect of estrogens (E2) in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancers. In this study we examined E2-regulation of the CXCL12 axis components and their involvement in the growth of breast cancer cells. CXCR4 and CXCR7 were differentially regulated by E2 which enhanced the expression of both CXCL12 and CXCR4 but repressed the expression of CXCR7. Formaldehyde-associated isolation of regulatory elements (FAIRE) revealed that E2-mediated transcriptional regulation of these genes is linked to the control of the compaction state of chromatin at their promoters. This effect could be accomplished via several distal ER-binding sites in the regions surrounding these genes, all of which are located 20–250 kb from the transcription start site. Furthermore, individual down-regulation of CXCL12, CXCR4 or CXCR7 expression as well as the inhibition of their activity significantly decreases the rate of basal cell growth. In contrast, E2-induced cell growth was differentially affected. Unlike CXCR7, the inhibition of the expression or activity of either CXCL12 or CXCR4 significantly blunted the E2-mediated stimulation of cellular growth. Besides, CXCR7 over-expression increased the basal MCF-7 cell growth rate and decreased the growth effect of E2. These findings indicate that E2 regulation of the CXCL12 signaling axis is important for the E2-mediated growth effect of breast cancer cells. These data also provide support for distinct biological functions of CXCR4 and CXCR7 and suggest that targeting CXCR4 and/or CXCR7 would have distinct molecular effects on ER-positive breast tumors.

Abstract
Estrogens and estrogen receptors (ER) are key actors in the control of differentiation and survival and act on extrareproductive tissues such as brain. Thus, estrogens may display neuritogenic effects during development and neuroprotective effects in the pathophysiological context of brain ischemia and neurodegenerative pathologies like Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. Some of these effects require classical transcriptional "genomic" mechanisms through ER, whereas other effects appear to rely clearly on "membrane-initiated mechanisms" through cytoplasmic signal transduction pathways. Disturbances of these mechanisms by endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) may exert adverse effects on brain. Some EDC may act via ER-independent mechanisms but might cross-react with endogenous estrogen. Other EDC may act through ER-dependent mechanisms and display agonistic/antagonistic estrogenic properties. Because of these potential effects of EDC, it is necessary to establish sensitive cell-based assays to determine EDC effects on brain. In the present review, some effects of estrogens and EDC are described with focus on ER-mediated effects in neuronal cells. Particular attention is given to PC12 cells, an interesting model to study the mechanisms underlying ER-mediated differentiating and neuroprotective effects of estrogens.

Abstract
Several methods have been developed to evaluate and quantify the effects of Endocrine disruptor chemicals (EDC). Nevertheless, most of these methods are time-consuming or not enough sensitive to detect EDC at the environmental range. To link the biological effect of tested EDC to natural protein secretion, we have developed a new screening method based on the secretion of the cytokine CXCL12 (or SDF-1, Stroma-cell Derived Factor 1), which plays a capital role in cell survival and migration. We have demonstrated that CXCL12 secretion is regulated by estrogenic compounds in a dose-dependent way in ER-positive breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and T47D). By combining cell culture and ELISA test, we used this up-regulation of CXCL12 secretion to test several major environmental contaminants. Our results showed that 17β-estradiol (from 10(-11) M), 17α-ethynylestradiol (from 10(-12) M), genistein (from 10(-8) M) and bisphenol A (from 10(-6) M) dose-regulate CXCL12 secretion in T47D. In contrast, antiestrogens, raloxifen and 4-hydroxytamoxifen, had no effect on the CXCL12 secretion, but were able to inhibit E2 effect. Moreover, we used cell proliferation assays to evaluate the effect of these different compounds on the growth of T47D cells. We found strong correlation (P = 0.7) between proliferation and CXCL12 secretion. However CXCL12 secretion was as sensitive as cell proliferation assays but appeared more rapid. Thus, this bioassay named CXCL-test (for Checking Xeno-estrogen activity by CXCL12 secretion in breast cancer cell Lines) constitutes a fast and sensitive method for the detection of estrogenic compounds allowing in 14 h to achieve a detection limit of 10(-11) M of E2 (2.7 ng/L).

Abstract
Novel cancer treatments, prevention of postmenopausal disorder, and prescription of oral contraceptives are the main developments in the design of synthetic estrogenic medication. The increasing consumption of these synthetic pharmaceuticals, in addition to human and animal natural estrogenic compound excretion, contribute to their environmental dissemination worldwide. Their assimilation as a result of consumption of food and water perturbs normal endocrine systems and leads to the emergence of human and animal diseases and malformations. These compounds are active in the organism at low concentrations. Accordingly, daily low-level exposure disrupts the natural equilibrium in the endocrine system. A method enabling quantification at such products at low levels (from pg L(-1) to ng L(-1)) is therefore required for these products. Surface plasmon resonance, essentially used for comprehension of molecular mechanisms and in drug discovery, can also be used for environmental pollutant monitoring. This technology has already been used for evaluation of the effects of chemical pollutants on specific nuclear receptors. It has been possible to determine the role of each individual compound on the disruption of the estrogen-activated cellular pathway. Development of SPR screening methods enables application of such an approach for quantification of these compounds in water.
