We recently reported the expression of an estradiol-like molecule by a trematode parasite Schistosoma haematobium. We further established that this estradiol-like molecule is an antagonist of estradiol, repressing the transcriptional activity of the estrogen receptor (ER) in estrogen-responsive MCF7 cells and also that S. haematobium total antigen (Sh) contains estrogenic molecules detected by mass spectrometry. In the present study, we used HCV29 cells, a cell line derived from normal urothelial cells, as well as an in vivo model to evaluate the expression of ER in the bladders of Sh-instilled animals. We show that, similarly to MCF7 cells, Sh down-regulates the transcriptional activity of ER in HCV29 cells and also in the bladders of Sh-treated mice. The antiestrogenic activity of the S. haematobium extract and its repressive role in ER could have implications in the carcinogenic process in bladders with S. haematobium infection.
