Abstract

Some prenylated polyphenols originating from hops, which are thus natural constituents of beer, have been discussed critically for their agonistic potential toward estrogen receptors. So far, little attention has been attributed to the fact that humans are typically not exposed to isolated compounds, but to mixtures which for example might comprise in addition to hop flavonoids further xenoestrogens, e.g., certain pesticides used for plant protection of hops and barley. Thus, we used the alkaline phosphatase assay to assess combinatory estrogenic effects of three signature compounds - xanthohumol, 8-prenylnaringenin and iso-xanthohumol-on Ishikawa cells in a combination that resembled the concentration ratios observable in beer. Moreover, we added this natural flavonoid pattern to a mixture of representative estrogenic pesticides to assess their combined effects. Using state-of-the-art statistical tools, we observed cumulative to slightly synergistic effects between isolated flavonoids as well as the flavonoid and the pesticide mixture. Of potential importance, these effects were found at low nanomolar hop polyphenol concentrations that one can reasonably expect to occur after the consumption of strongly hopped beer. Taken together, our results imply that cumulative/synergistic estrogenicity should be explored in detail and urgently be incorporated into risk assessment of prenylated chalcones.

摘要

一些源自啤酒花的异戊烯化多酚是啤酒的天然成分,人们对其雌激素受体激动潜力进行了批判性讨论。到目前为止,人们很少关注这样一个事实,即人类通常接触的不是单一化合物,而是混合物,例如除了啤酒花黄酮类化合物外,混合物中可能还包含其他外源性雌激素,例如用于啤酒花和大麦植物保护的某些农药。因此,我们使用碱性磷酸酶测定法来评估三种标志性化合物——黄腐酚、8-异戊烯基柚皮素和异黄腐酚——以类似于啤酒中可观察到的浓度比组合对石川细胞的联合雌激素效应。此外,我们将这种天然黄酮类化合物模式添加到代表性雌激素农药混合物中,以评估它们的联合效应。使用最先进的统计工具,我们观察到分离的黄酮类化合物之间以及黄酮类化合物与农药混合物之间存在累积到轻微协同的效应。具有潜在重要性的是,这些效应在低纳摩尔浓度的啤酒花多酚中就已出现,而人们在饮用酒花味浓郁的啤酒后可以合理预期会出现这样的浓度。综上所述,我们的结果表明,应详细探索累积/协同雌激素效应,并迫切将其纳入异戊烯化查耳酮的风险评估中。
