To examine this further, we compared the effects of estrogenic (o,p'-DDT [1-(o-chlorophenyl)-1-(p-chlorophenyl) 2,2,2-trichloroethane] and Kepone, chlordecone) and nonestrogenic (p,p'-DDD [1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane], a metabolite of p,p'-DDT) xenobiotics with those of 17beta-estradiol (E2) and 4-hydroxyestradiol-17beta (4-OH-E2), a catechol metabolite of E2, on uterine expression of lactoferrin (LF) and progesterone receptor (PR).

By using ER-alpha "knock-out" (ERKO) mice, we demonstrate herein that a catecholestrogen, 4-hydroxyestradiol-17beta (4-OH-E2), and an environmental estrogen, chlordecone (kepone), up-regulate the uterine expression of an estrogen-responsive gene, lactoferrin (LF), independent of ER-alpha.

The chemicals investigated were: bisphenol A (1 g/kg body weight/day), naringenin (1 g/kg body weight/day) o,p'-DDT (500 mg/kg body weight/day), genistein (1 g/kg/day), coumestrol (0.5 mg/kg/day) and chlordecone (20 mg/kg/day) administered subcutaneously daily for 3 days.
These were, in addition to the commonly measured changes in relative uterus weight and histopathological examination of uterine tissue, three other markers indicative of uterotrophic effects, namely, uterine luminal epithelium BrdU labelling index over the last 24 hr, peroxidase activity and lactoferrin expression.
