Popis The primary goal of this study was to determine if individual cyanobacterial species and mixtures of cyanobacteria collected from the environment contain compounds with the potential for interaction with signaling pathways of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), androgen receptor (AR), estrogen receptor (ER), glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and retinoid acid receptor (RAR). Cytotoxicity and specific toxic potencies of products of freshwater cyanobacteria were determined by use of in vitro reporter gene trans-activation assays. Extracts of natural complex cyanobacterial biomasses exhibited greater and more frequent presence of compounds with specific modes of action, mainly estrogenic, and also greater cytotoxicity than extracts of single cyanobacterial species. The demonstrated estrogenic potency of the compounds present in complex cyanobacterial biomasses is of environmental relevance, and could potentially contribute to endocrine disruptive effects in aquatic ecosystems in case of great bloom densities.
