Recently, a novel Slc22 gene family member expressed in murine olfactory mucosa was identified and based on sequence homology proposed to be an organic anion transporter [Oat6 (Slc22a20); J. C. Monte, M. A. Nagle, S. A. Eraly, and S. K. Nigam. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 323: 429-436, 2004]. However, no functional data for Oat6 was reported. In the present study, we demonstrate that murine Oat6 mediates the inhibitable transport of estrone sulfate using both Xenopus oocyte expression assay and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably transfected with mOat6 (CHO-mOat6). Uptake was virtually eliminated by probenecid and the anionic herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate. The organic anions ochratoxin A, salicylate, penicillin G, p-aminohippurate, and urate inhibited mOat6-mediated accumulation to varying degrees. Transport of estrone sulfate by mOat6 was demonstrated to be saturable, and K(m) estimates of 109.8 +/- 22.6 microM in oocytes and 44.8 +/- 7.3 microM in CHO-mOat6 cells were obtained. Inhibitory constants for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (15.7 +/- 2.0 microM), salicylate (49.0 +/- 4.4 microM), probenecid (8.3 +/- 2.5 microM), and penicillin G (1,450 +/- 480 microM) were also determined. Accumulation of estrone sulfate mediated by mOat6 was significantly trans-stimulated by glutarate, indicating that mOat6 functions as an organic anion/dicarboxylate exchanger. These data demonstrate for the first time that the novel murine gene Oat6 (Slc22a20) encodes a functional organic anion transporter and mOat6 is indeed the newest member of the OAT gene family.

Despite evidence indicating a substantial presence of microplastics (MPs) in organic fertilizers, research exploring the differences of MPs among various types of organic fertilizers remains limited. Additionally, MPs can act as carriers for organic pollutants, influencing their environmental behaviors. This study investigated the presence of MPs in organic fertilizers and their effects on the environmental behaviors of steroidal estrogens.

The study aimed to propose sensitive, specific and easy pregnancy diagnosis for American Bison. Trans-rectal Palpation and Ultrasonography (TRPUS), concentration of Pregnancy Associated Glycoproteins (PAG), Progesterone (P4), Estrone (E1), Estrone-Sulfate (E1S) in serum and P4 and E1S in feces were compared. Immunoassay was used for PAG, whereas steroids were assayed using Liquid Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry.

Altrenogest, also known as allyltrenbolone, is a synthetic form of progesterone used therapeutically to suppress unwanted symptoms of estrus in female horses. Altrenogest affects the system by decreasing levels of endogenous gonadotrophin and luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones, which in turn decreases estrogen and mimics the increase of progesterone production. This results in more manageable mares for training and competition alongside male horses while improving the workplace safety of riders and handlers.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common heterogeneous disorder linked with endocrine and metabolic disturbances. The underlying mechanism of PCOS, especially its effect on oocyte competence, remains unclear. The study aimed to identify abnormal follicular metabolic changes using a multi-omics approach in follicular fluid from PCOS patients and to determine their effects on oocyte competence.

Human organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and 1B3 are two highly homologous liver-specific uptake transporters. However, 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCF) is preferably transported by OATP1B1. In the present study, the molecular mechanisms for the selective transport of DCF by OATP1B1 were investigated by constructing and characterizing an array of OATP1B1/1B3 chimeras and site-directed mutagenesis.
