This study was performed to compare the effects of three well-known phytoestrogens such as genistein, resveratrol, and quercetin on steroidogenesis in MA-10 mouse tumor Leydig cells. Addition of genistein or resveratrol to MA-10 cells resulted in decreases in the cAMP-stimulated progesterone secretion, but quercetin had an opposite response. Steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) mRNA expression and StAR promoter activity in transiently transtected MA-10 cells were significantly reduced by genistein or resveratrol, but increased by quercetin. Genistem was found to inhibit MA-10 cell proliferation, while resveratrol and quercetin had no effect. Quercetin-induced increase in cAMP-stimulated progesterone secretion was reversed by ICI 182,780, an estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist. However, ICI 182,780 had no effect on cAMP plus quercetin-stimulated StAR promoter activity. To examine whether non-ER factors are associated with quercetin-stimulated progesterone production, we treated MA-10 cells with EGTA to deprive them of extracellular Ca2+. We found that EGTA inhibited quercetin- plus cAMP-stimulated progesterone secretion and StAR promoter activity. Blocking of Ca2+ influx through L- or T-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels with verapamil or mibefradil respectively, attenuated quercetin-stimulated progesterone secretion, while they had no effect on quercetin-plus cAMP-stimulated StAR promoter activity. Blocking of intracellular Ca2+ efflux by sodium orthovanadate, a Ca2+ pump inhibitor, blocked quercerin- plus cAMP-stimulated progesterone secretion and StAR promoter activity in MA-10 cells. Finally, EGTA or vanadate reduced quercetin and cAMP-increased in StAR mRNA expression in MA-10 cells, while ICI 182,780 had no effect. Taken together, these results indicate that phytoestrogens have differential effects on steroidogenesis in MA-10 cells.
