Characterisation of bioactive compounds in infant formulas using immobilised recombinant estrogen receptor-alpha affinity columns.
Food Chem. Toxicol. 46, 3268-3278 (2008)
In this study, the use of recombinant estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha)-based affinity columns was reported, for the isolation and the identification of estrogenic substances present in complex matrices, focusing on bioactive compounds present in foodstuff. The capability of affinity columns to trap high, but also low-affinity radio-labelled ligands (17 beta-estradiol, genistein and bisphenol A) was demonstrated. Three pooled samples of infant formulas (milk-based, hypoallergenic and soy-based formulas for infants aged 0-4 months) from a EU market basket were prepared by the CASCADE Network of Excellence. After determining the estrogenic activity of these food samples, human recombinant ER alpha ligand binding domain (LBD) based affinity columns combined with suitable analytical methods (high resolution LC-MS/MS) were used to identify the bioactive compounds present in the soy-based formula extract, namely phytoestrogens (genistein and daidzein) involved in the agonistic activity measured. Incubations of genistein with liver microsomes were carried out and the extracts analysed following the same protocol, demonstrating that hER alpha affinity columns can also be used for trapping active metabolites. This approach combining bioluminescent cell lines with this useful tool based on hER alpha-LBD affinity columns thus allowed the purification and the concentration of both known and unknown estrogenic ligands prior to investigation of their structure using LC-MS.
