TMT-based quantitative proteomics analysis of Sprague-Dawley rats liver reveals Triphenyltin induced liver damage and lipid metabolism disorders

Triphenyltin (TPT) is a widely used pesticide that has a negative impact on biological health and production efficiency. In addition, TPT poses a threat to human health through the food chain and environmental pollution. However, the exact mechanism of TPT toxicity remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the hepatotoxicity of TPT and its effects on lipid metabolism using male SD rats as an animal model. Our results from HE and serum biochemical analysis suggested that TPT could damage liver structure and function, resulting in disruption of lipid metabolism. We therefore proceeded to analyze the proteomic response of rat liver tissue after 28 days of treatment with 2 mg/kg/d TPT. Our study demonstrates that TPT has a variety of effects on liver protein expression in rats. Through bioinformatic analysis, we observed significant changes in proteins related to fatty acid oxidation and synthesis due to TPT exposure. Furthermore, western blot and RT-qPCR experiments confirmed that TPT can affect lipid metabolism through the PPAR pathway. These findings suggest that TPT exposure can lead to liver damage, lipid accumulation and metabolic disorders.
