Résumé
In this study, we determined whether estragole and its isomer trans-anethole interfered with feto-placental steroidogenesis in a human co-culture model composed of fetal-like adrenocortical (H295R) and placental trophoblast-like (BeWo) cells. Estragole and trans-anethole are considered the biologically active compounds within basil and fennel seed essential oils, respectively. After a 24h exposure of the co-culture to 2.5, 5.2 and 25muM estragole or trans-anethole, hormone concentrations of estradiol, estrone, dehydroepiandrosterone, androstenedione, progesterone and estriol were significantly increased. Using RT-qPCR, estragole and trans-anethole were shown to significantly alter the expression of several key steroidogenic enzymes, such as those involved in cholesterol transport and steroid hormone biosynthesis, including StAR, CYP11A1, HSD3B1/2, SULT2A1, and HSD17B1, -4, and -5. Furthermore, we provided mechanistic insight into the ability of estragole and trans-anethole to stimulate promoter-specific expression of CYP19 through activation of the PKA pathway in H295R cells and the PKC pathway in BeWo cells, in both cases associated with increased cAMP levels. Moreover, we show new evidence suggesting a role for progesterone in regulating steroid hormone biosynthesis through regulation of the StAR gene.
