PG - G277-86 LID - 10.1152/ajpgi.00107.2014 [doi] AB - Cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD) and cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) are two rate-limiting enzymes in taurine de novo synthesis, and their expressions are associated with estrogen concentration. The present study was designed to determine the relationship between 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) and taurine in female mice liver. We initially observed the mice had lower levels of CSAD, CDO, and taurine during estrus than diestrus. We then, respectively, treated the ovariectomized mice, the cultured hepatocytes, and Hep G2 cells with different doses of E(2), and the CSAD and CDO expressions and taurine levels were analyzed. The results showed that E(2) decreased taurine level in the serum and the cultured cells by inhibiting CSAD and CDO expressions. Furthermore, we identified the molecular receptor types through which E(2) plays its role in regulating taurine synthesis, and our results showed that estrogen receptor-alpha (ERalpha) expression was much higher than estrogen receptor-beta (ERbeta) in the liver and hepatocytes, and the inhibiting effects of E(2) on CSAD, CDO, and taurine level were partially abrogated in the ICI-182,780-pretreated liver and hepatocytes, and in ERalpha knockout mice. These results indicate that estradiol decreases taurine content by reducing taurine biosynthetic enzyme expression in mice liver. CI - Copyright (c) 2015 the American Physiological Society.
