Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA; 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol) is a well-known endocrine disruptor. Most human exposure to BPA occurs through the consumption of BPA-contaminated foods. Cardiovascular or cardiometabolic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, acute kidney disease, chronic kidney disease, and heart failure are the leading causes of death worldwide. Positive associations have been reported between blood or urinary BPA levels and cardiovascular or cardiometabolic diseases. BPA also induces disorders or dysfunctions in the tissues associated with these diseases through various cell signaling pathways. This review highlights the literature elucidating the relationship between BPA and various cardiovascular or cardiometabolic diseases and the potential mechanisms underlying BPA-mediated disorders or dysfunctions in tissues such as blood vessels, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, liver, pancreas, kidney, and heart that are associated with these diseases.

Bisphenol F induced hyperglycemia via activation of oxidative stress-responsive miR-200 family in the pancreas. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 255:114769. [PMID: 36924560 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.114769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Bisphenol F (BPF), BPS and BPAF are gaining popularity as main substitutes to BPA, but there is no clear evidence that these compounds disrupt glycemic homeostasis in the same way. In this study, four bisphenols were administered to C57BL/6 J mice, and showed that the serum insulin was elevated in the BPA and BPS exposed mice, whereas BPF exposed mice exhibited lower serum insulin and higher blood glucose. BPF decreased oxidized glutathione/reduced glutathione ratio (GSSG/GSH) and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) levels, which was responsible for pancreatic apoptosis in mice. Additionally, the downregulation of Nrf2 and the aberrant regulation of the p53-lncRNA H19 signaling pathway further increased miR-200 family in the BPF-exposed pancreas. The miR-200 family directly suppressed Mettl14 and Xiap by targeting their 3' UTR, leading to islet apoptosis. Antioxidant treatment not only elevated m6A levels and insulin contents but also suppressed the miR-200 family in the pancreas, ultimately improving BPF-induced hyperglycemia. Taken together, miR-200 family could serve as a potential oxidative stress-responsive regulator in the pancreas. And moreover, we demonstrated a novel toxicological mechanism in that BPF disrupted the Keap1-Nrf2 redox system to upregulate miR-141/200b/c which controlled pancreatic insulin production and apoptosis via Mettl14 and Xiap, respectively. As the major surrogates of BPA in various applications, BPF was also diabetogenic, which warrants attention in future research.

Mathew AT, Saravanakumar MP. Removal of bisphenol A and methylene blue through persulfate activation by calcinated α-MnO 2 nanorods: effect of ultrasonic assistance and toxicity assessment. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:14497-14517. [PMID: 36152093 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-23146-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
This work investigates the efficacy of α-MnO2 nanorods for persulfate-mediated degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) and methylene blue (MB), in silent and ultrasonic-assisted systems. The conversion of α-MnO2 nanoparticle flakes to nanorods occurs upon calcination at a temperature of 400 °C for 3 h under the ramping conditions. The comparative characterization of nanomaterials pre- and post-calcination reveals better physical, chemical, and thermal properties of α-MnO2 nanorods. The impact of various operational parameters such as pH, dosage of nanorods, persulfate dose, selected contaminant concentration, ultrasound frequency and power, scavengers, and landfill leachate medium on the degradation of pollutants is also assessed. The ultrasonic assistance yields higher removal for both BPA and MB than the silent system. This may be attributed to the generation of more radicals as ultrasound activates persulfate. This can be due to acoustic cavitation, which leads to better solute dissociation and excited state. The results obtained through scavenger tests reveal that both OH• and SO4•- can contribute to degradation, but the role of SO4•- is found dominant. Significant removal of BPA and MB ((BPA)silent, 87.12%; (MB)silent, 96.54%; (BPA)ultrasonic, 88.75%; (MB)ultrasonic, 93.86%)) is observed in landfill leachate medium. The degradation pathway for pollutants is also proposed. The toxicity of pollutants and their degradation intermediates are evaluated using Ecological Structure Activity Relationships (ECOSAR) program. The results indicate reduced toxicity of BPA intermediates, while most MB degradation intermediates show higher toxicity. Therefore, it can be affirmed that removing pollutants does not ensure a completely non-toxic process. However, the study proposes a comprehensive toxicity evaluation and eliminating toxic intermediates for completely harmless wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The widely used paraben preservatives have been frequently detected in human urine, and shown to disrupt the endocrine system. Recently, several epidemiologic studies have investigated the associations between paraben exposures and hypertension risk, but findings are inconsistent. Genetic susceptibility variation may contribute to the conflicting results. This study aimed to explore the associations of paraben exposures and their interactions with estrogen receptor genes 1 and 2 (ESR1 and ESR2) polymorphisms with hypertension. We conducted a hospital-based case-control study involving 396 hypertension cases and 396 controls in Wuhan, China. The urinary paraben concentrations were determined using a liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometer. The genotyping of ESR1 and ESR2 was performed using the Applied Biosystems 3730 XL sequencer. Multivariable logistic regression models were applied to examine the associations between urinary paraben concentrations and hypertension risk. Gene-environment interactions were estimated on both multiplicative and additive scales. The results showed that urinary ethylparaben (EtP), propylparaben (PrP), and ∑parabens (∑PBs) levels were positively associated with the risk of hypertension (Ptrend<0.05). Compared with their reference groups, subjects in the highest tertile of EtP, PrP, and ∑PBs had a 4.05-fold (95% CI: 2.56, 6.41), 2.72-fold (95% CI: 1.76, 4.20), and 1.60-fold (95% CI: 1.08, 2.36) increased risk of hypertension, respectively. When stratified by sex, the hypertensive effect of EtP was more pronounced in males (Pinteraction = 0.012). Furthermore, interaction analysis showed that PrP exposure interacted with ESR1 rs2234693 polymorphism on hypertension risk, with the significance of multiplicative (Pinteraction = 0.043) and additive (RERI = 1.27, AP = 0.52). Our results suggested that paraben exposure was positively related to hypertension risk, and that ESR1 rs2234693 polymorphism might modify the parabens exposure-related hypertensive effect.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a ubiquitous chemical compound constantly being released into the environment, making it one of the most persistent endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) in nature. This EDC has already been associated with developing various pathologies, such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular, renal, and behavioral complications, among others. Therefore, over the years, BPA has been replaced, gradually, by its analog compounds. However, these compounds are structurally similar to BPA, so, in recent years, questions have been raised concerning their safety for human health. Numerous investigations have been performed to determine the effects BPA substitutes may cause, particularly during pregnancy and prenatal life. On the other hand, studies investigating the association of these compounds with the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have been developed. In this sense, this review summarizes the existing literature on the transgenerational transfer of BPA substitutes and the consequent effects on maternal and offspring health following prenatal exposure. In addition, these compounds' effects on the cardiovascular system and the susceptibility to develop CVD will be presented. Therefore, this review aims to highlight the need to investigate further the safety and benefits, or hazards, associated with replacing BPA with its analogs.
