In this study we present a mammalian cell culture model that allows to study the effect of endocrine disruptors (EDCs) on aromatase activity of aquatic amphibian, Bombina orientalis. Bombina orientalis aromatase gene was subcloned into a mammalian expression vector and subsequently transfected to mammalian cells. Although the protein expression level of Bombina orientalis aromatase was low, it had a significant aromatase activity. When EDCs were added to aromatase transfected cells, aromatase activity was significantly decreased. We report here that this system may be used to monitor the effect of EDCs on aromatase activity of aquatic organisms.
