ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 2024; 108:104467. [PMID: 38763439 DOI: 10.1016/j.etap.2024.104467] [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: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a ubiquitous industrial chemical used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, found in numerous consumer products. Despite its widespread use, its potential adverse health effects have raised significant concerns. This review explores the molecular mechanisms and evidence-based literature underlying BPA-induced toxicities and its implications for human health. BPA is an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) which exhibits carcinogenic properties by influencing various receptors, such as ER, AhR, PPARs, LXRs, and RARs. It induces oxidative stress and contributes to cellular dysfunction, inflammation, and DNA damage, ultimately leading to various toxicities including but not limited to reproductive, cardiotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and endocrine toxicity. Moreover, BPA can modify DNA methylation patterns, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA expression, leading to epigenetic changes and contribute to carcinogenesis. Overall, understanding molecular mechanisms of BPA-induced toxicity is crucial for developing effective strategies and policies to mitigate its adverse effects on human health.

Abstract
Endocrine disrupting compounds are the chemicals which mimics the natural endocrine hormones and bind to the receptors made for the hormones. Upon binding they activate the cascade of reaction which leads to permanent activating of the signalling cycle and ultimately leads to uncontrolled growth. Pesticides are one of the endocrine disrupting chemicals which cause cancer, congenital birth defects, and reproductive defects in non-target organisms. Non-target organisms are keen on exposing to these pesticides. Although several studies have reported about the pesticide toxicity. But a critical analysis of pesticide toxicity and its role as endocrine disruptor is lacking. Therefore, the presented review literature is an endeavour to understand the role of the pesticides as endocrine disruptors. In addition, it discusses about the endocrine disruption, neurological disruption, genotoxicity, and ROS induced pesticide toxicity. Moreover, biochemical mechanisms of pesticide toxicity on non-target organisms have been presented. An insight on the chlorpyrifos toxicity on non-target organisms along with species names have been presented.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most common worldwide chemicals involved in the industry of polycarbonate plastics, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals. Forty three-month-old albino rats were randomly classified into four groups. Group Ӏ received a daily corn oil dose (5 mL/kg/ body weight, BW) through a gastric tube for one month, Group ӀӀ received a daily dose of Curcumin (200 mg/kg body weight (B.W.) through a gastric tube for one month, Group ӀӀӀ received a daily dose of BPA (0.5 μg/kg B.W.) through a gastric tube for one month and Group ӀV received concomitant daily doses of Bisphenol A and Curcumin as the regimen described in groups ӀӀ and ӀӀӀ. The rats were sacrificed, and glandular portion of stomach was dissected and processed for light, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study. BPA induced destructed gastric glands, dilated congested blood vessels, submucosal oedema, decreased PAS-positive reactivity, increased collagen fibres deposition, decrease in the positive BCL2 immunoexpression, increased positive PCNA immunoexpression, reduction in the gastric mucosal height and destructive changes in the enteroendocrine, chief and parietal cells. Curcumin coadministration provoked an obvious improvement in the gastric structure. BPA exposure has toxic effects on the glandular portion of the stomach in rats. Otherwise, Curcumin coadministration has exhibited protective impact on the architecture of the stomach.

Abstract
Bisphenols, endocrine disrupting chemicals, have frequently been used for producing food packaging materials. The best-known member, bisphenol A (BPA), has been linked to impaired foetal development in animals. Possible negative effects of BPA on human health have resulted in the production of novel, so-called next-generation (NextGen) bisphenols whose effects on humans are much less explored or even missing. This review aimed to summarise and critically assess the main findings and shortages in current bisphenol research in relation to their potential impact on the cardiovascular system in real biological exposure. Because of the common presence of bisphenols in daily use products, humans are clearly exposed to these compounds. Most data are available on BPA, where total serum levels (i.e. included conjugated metabolite) can reach up to ∼430 nM, while free bisphenol levels have been reported up to ∼80 nM. Limited data are available for other bisphenols, but maximal serum levels of bisphenol S have been reported (680 nM). Such levels seem to be negligible, although in vitro studies have showed effects on ion channels, and thyroid, oestrogenic and androgenic receptors in low micromolar concentrations. Ex vivo studies suggest vasodilatory effects of bisphenols. This stays in clear contrast to the elevation of arterial blood pressure documented in vivo and in observatory cross-sectional human studies. Bisphenols are also claimed to have a negative effect on lipidic spectrum and coronary artery disease. Regardless, the reported data are generally inconsistent and unsatisfactory. Hence novel well-designed studies, testing in particular NextGen bisphenols, are needed.

Abstract
Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) are the agrochemicals most used around the globe. However, they might have adverse effects on human and animal health. Previously, we showed that female rats neonatally exposed to GBHs exhibit altered expression of morphogenetic molecules and biomarkers of uterine development. We also observed a reduction in the size of implantation sites, altered expression of decidualization-related molecules, and increased post-implantation losses. Since decidualization comprises morphogenetic, biochemical and vascular changes, here we investigated the effects of neonatal GBH exposure on uterine angiogenesis in neonatal and pregnant rats. To achieve this, Wistar female rats were exposed to saline solution or GBH (2 mg glyphosate/kg-bw/day) on post-natal days (PND) 1, 3, 5 and 7. On PND8, uterine samples were collected for developmental studies. On PND90, the remaining females were mated and in the morning of gestational day (GD) 9, the implantation sites were collected. Angiogenesis-related molecules and cells involved in this process were identified and/or measured by immunohistochemistry or RT-PCR. On PND8, GBH-treated rats showed increased vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and decreased Notch1, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and Angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) mRNA levels. Vascular area, vessel diameter, endothelial cell proliferation, VEGF and Nestin protein expression, and VEGF, Notch1, iNOS and cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) genes were downregulated in implantation sites of exposed females, while Ang2, VEGF receptor 1 and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were increased. Mast cells and macrophages were increased on PND8 and GD9 of treated rats. The increased Transforming growth factor-beta expression in the antimesometrial zone and IL-10 mRNA expression suggest that the M2 type is the predominant population of macrophages on implantation sites. In conclusion, neonatal GBH exposure alters the expression of angiogenesis-related molecules at neonatal uterine development and decidual reaction, suggesting altered vascular support. These alterations might contribute to the increased post-implantation losses observed in GBH-treated rats.

Abstract
Due to the potential toxicity of bisphenol A (BPA), several bisphenols (BPs), including bisphenol F (BPF), bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol AF (BPAF), have been gradually used as its main substitutes, and the levels of these alternatives in different environmental media have been constantly increasing. Although some previous studies have shown that bisphenol substitutes have similar or greater acute toxicity and estrogenic effects than BPA, comparative studies on the cardiovascular toxicity of BPs have not been evaluated. In this study, the developmental vascular toxicity of BPA and three predominant substitutes (BPF, BPS and BPAF) were evaluated using zebrafish embryos and human vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). BP exposure at a sublethal concentration of 1/10 96 h median lethal concentration (96 h-LC50) significantly hindered intersegmental vessel (ISV) growth, delayed common cardinal vein (CCV) remodeling and decreased subintestinal vessels (SIVs) in Tg (fli1:EGFP) zebrafish embryos. Meanwhile, the results of the endothelial tube formation assay showed that in vitro angiogenesis was inhibited by BP exposure. Mechanistically, BP exposure increased oxidative stress characterized by a significant decrease in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity, accompanied by increased levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in both zebrafish and HUVECs. Therefore, the vascular toxicity and oxidative stress potency of the BPs were compared and evaluated, ranking as follows: BPAF > BPF > BPA > BPS. To the best of our knowledge, the present work, for the first time, systematically provides direct evidence for BPA and its alternatives on developmental vascular toxicity in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, these findings will provide insight into the rational and safe application of BPA substitutes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphenol A (BPA), a widely used plastic monomer and plasticizer, is detectable in blood, urine and semen of a healthy people, with concentrations ranging from 0.1 nM to 10 nM. It has been shown that in vitro exposure of BPA as low as 0.001 nM could significantly inhibited mouse sperm motility and acrosome reaction. However, it is still unclear whether BPA at those physiologically detectable concentration affects human sperm. METHODS The effects of different concentrations of BPA (0, 10-3, 10-2, 10-1, 10, 103 nM) on sperm functions were examined, including human sperm viability, kinematic parameters, hyperactivation and capacitation. RESULTS BPA caused a remarkable decline in human sperm viability, motility and progressive motility, hyperactivation, capacitation and progesterone-induced acrosome reaction. Mechanism studies showed that BPA could suppress the protein tyrosine phosphorylation level of human sperm, but had no effect on sperm calcium signaling. CONCLUSIONS Physiologically detectable concentrations of BPA may impair human sperm functions via suppressing protein tyrosine phosphorylation of human sperm, implying that environmental pollution of BPA might be a factor contributing to male infertility.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the emerging contaminants associated with deleterious health effects on both public and wildlife and is extensively incorporated into different industrial products. Therefore, the current trial was conducted to determine the oxidative stress, status of different antioxidant enzymes and genotoxic potential of bisphenol A in fresh water fish at low concentrations. For this purpose, a total of 80 fresh water bighead carp (Aristicthys nobilis) received from commercial fish center were randomly divided and kept in four groups (A-D). Fish in groups (B-D) were exposed to different levels of BPA for a period of 60 days while fish of group A served as control group. Treated fish exhibited different physical and behavioral ailments in a time and treatment manners. Results showed significantly (p < 0.05) increased quantity of different oxidative stress biomarkers such as thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), reduced glutathione (GSH) and the contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in gills, liver, kidneys and brain of exposed fish. Concentration of different antioxidant enzymes like catalase, superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and total proteins was significantly (p < 0.05) decreased in gills, liver, kidneys and brain of exposed fish. Results showed significantly (p < 0.05) increased frequency of morphological alterations, nuclear changes in red blood cells and increased DNA damage potential of bisphenol A in gills, liver, kidneys and brain tissues. The current trial concludes that even at very low concentrations bisphenol A causes toxic effects via turbulences in physiological and biochemical parameters in multiple tissues of fish.

Abstract
This study summarizes the knowledge about effects of bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogues on reproduction of pigs and some parameters of their offspring during period 2011-2020. Bisphenols are known as one of the most harmful environmental toxicants with endocrine-disrupting properties. One study in the reference period related to male reproductive system. Treatment with an antagonist of G-protein coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) - G15, and bisphenol A and its analogues, tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and tetrachromobisphenol A (TCBPA) diversely disrupted protein molecules controlling the biogenesis and function of microRNA in Leydig cells. Nine studies examined the effect of BPA, bisphenol S (BPS) or fluorene-9-bisphenol (BHPF) on female reproductive system. From the possible protective effect's point of view seems to be perspective the administration of melatonin in BPA-exposed oocytes. Finally, two studies were found to evaluate the maternal exposure to BPA on offspring's meat quality, muscle metabolism and oxidative stress. Administration of methyl donor improved antioxidant enzymes activity and reduced oxidative stress in piglets.

Abstract
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are compounds that interfere with the expression, synthesis, and activity of hormones in organisms. They are released into the environment from flame retardants and products containing plasticizers. Persistent pesticides, such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and hexachlorobenzene, also disrupt the endocrine system through interaction with hormone receptors. Endogenous hormones, such as 17β-estradiol (E2), are released in the urine and feces of farm animals and seep into terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems through sewage. Pigs are widely used as animal models to determine the effects of EDCs because they are physiologically, biochemically, and histologically similar to humans. EDCs primarily disrupt the reproductive and nervous systems of pigs. Moreover, embryonic development during the prenatal and early postnatal periods is particularly sensitive to EDCs. Mycotoxins, such as zearalenone, are food contaminants that alter hormonal activities in pigs. Mycotoxins also alter the innate immune system in pigs, making them vulnerable to diseases. It has been reported that farm animals are exposed to various types of EDCs, which accumulate in tissues, such as those of gonads, livers, and intestines. There is a lack of an integrated understanding of the impact of EDCs on porcine reproduction and development. Thus, this article aims to provide a comprehensive review of literature regarding the effects of EDCs in pigs.

Abstract
Epidemiological and animal studies indicate that increased exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) induces various human cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, dilated cardiomyopathy, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. Bisphenol S (BPS), an alternative to BPA, is increasingly present in various consumer products and human bodies worldwide. Recently, emerging evidence has shown that BPS might be related to cardiovascular disorders. In this review, we present striking evidence of the correlation between BPA exposure and various CVDs, and show that a nonmonotonic dose-response curve (NMDRC) was common in studies of the CV effects of BPA in vivo. The CV impairment induced by low doses of BPA should be highlighted, especially during developmental exposure or during coexposure with other risk factors. Furthermore, we explored the possible underlying mechanisms of these effects-particularly nuclear receptor signaling, ion channels, and epigenetic mechanisms-and the possible participation of lipid metabolism, oxidative stress and cell signaling. As the potential risks of BPA exposure in humans are still noteworthy, studies of BPA in CVDs should be strengthened, especially with respect to the mechanisms, prevention and treatment. Moreover, the potential CV risk of BPS reported by in vivo studies calls for immediate epidemiological investigations and animal studies to reveal the relationships of BPS and other BPA alternatives with human CVDs.

Abstract
Nesfatin-1 has recently been indicated as a pleiotropic molecule that is primarily involved in the metabolic regulation of reproductive functions acting at hypothalamic level. The aim of this study was to explore the local action of nesfatin-1 in swine ovarian follicles. Nucleobindin 2 (NUCB2) was verified using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction in swine granulosa cells from different sized follicles and nesfatin-1 was localised by immunohistochemistry in sections of the whole porcine ovary. The effects of different concentrations of nesfatin-1 on cell growth, steroidogenesis and the redox status of granulosa cells were determined invitro. In addition, the effects of nesfatin-1 were evaluated in an angiogenesis bioassay because vessel growth is essential for ovarian follicle function. Immunohistochemistry revealed intense positivity for nesfatin-1 in swine granulosa cells in follicles at all developmental stages. Expression of the gene encoding the precursor protein NUCB2 was higher in granulosa cells from large rather than from medium and small follicles. Further, nesfatin-1 stimulated cell proliferation and progesterone production and interfered with redox status by modifying nitric oxide production and non-enzyme scavenging activity in granulosa cells from large follicles. Moreover, nesfatin-1 exhibited a stimulatory effect on angiogenesis. This study demonstrates, for the first time, that nesfatin-1 is physiologically present in the swine ovarian follicle, where it may impair granulosa cell functions.

Abstract
The high-volume-produced plastic monomer Bisphenol A (BPA) has been in the spotlight in the last years because of its endocrine disruptor (ED) behavior, leading to disclosure of the association between the widespread human and wildlife exposure to BPA and reproductive, metabolic, and developmental disorders and hormone-dependent cancer onset. These evidences caused restrictions and prohibitions of BPA industrial uses and prompted investigation of harmless alternative compounds. Above all, several countries have substituted the parental analogue with Bisphenol S (BPS) in baby care product manufacturing, even if its structural homology to BPA suggests similar ED properties not yet completely ruled out. In light of this consideration, the aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of BPS exposure (0.1, 1, and 10 μM for 48 h) on granulosa cells that are considered the prime ovarian targets of BPA as a "reproductive toxicant". Our data document that BPS inhibited E2 production, cell proliferation, and scavenging nonenzymatic activity (P < 0.05) while it significantly (P < 0.05) stimulated cell viability, superoxide (O2-) and nitric oxide (NO) production in cultured swine granulosa cells, a previously validated endocrine cell model for BPA. Evidence also exists that BPA and its analogues, as environmental lipophilic pollutants, are involved in the disruption of adipose tissue (AT) endocrine function, resulting in metabolic effects and thus in potential reproductive disorders. On this basis, our second purpose was the assessment of BPS effects on mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) isolated from porcine AT, taking into account MSCs viability and adipogenic differentiation, a process actually demonstrated to be largely affected by EDs. Our results show that BPS decreased (P < 0.001) cell viability of proliferating adipose stromal cells. Taken as a whole, our data demonstrate an effective BPS ED activity at μM concentrations, suggesting that further studies are needed before considering its use in industrial application as an alternative to BPA.

Abstract
The triazine herbicide simazine is a pesticide commonly detected in surface and ground waters,
although banned in most European countries since 2004. Concerns for humans and animal health
result from its potential endocrine disrupting action, that can lead to reproductive disorders.
The present in vitro study was undertaken to study simazine effects on
swine granulosa cell function, namely cell viability, proliferation, steroidogenesis
and NO production. Moreover, the ability of this substance to interfere with the angiogenetic
process, a crucial event in reproductive function, was taken into account. Our data document
that simazine treatment, at 0.1 or 10 μM concentration levels, stimulates granulosa
cell proliferation and viability and impairs steroidogenesis, increasing in particular
progesterone production. In addition, the in vitro angiogenesis bioassay
revealed a significant simazine stimulatory effect on immortalized porcine Aortic Endothelial
Cell proliferation. Collectively, these results show that simazine can display disruptive
effects on ovarian cell functional parameters, possibly resulting in reproductive dysfunction.
This hypothesis is also supported by the observed pro-angiogenetic properties of this herbicide,
as already suggested for different endocrine disruptors.

Abstract
Orexin A (OXA) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide which acts on 2 known G-protein-coupled receptors. It has been demonstrated that OXA is a central molecular link between food intake and reproduction. More recently, its peripheral role has been investigated, and we demonstrated its involvement in regulating ovarian follicle function. The present study was undertaken to explore a potential physiological role of orexin system in swine corpus luteum, a transient ovarian endocrine organ. Our aim was, first, to analyze the localization and eventual colocalization of OXA and its 2 receptors within the different cell types composing the corpus luteum structure. Second, we wanted to explore the effects of OXA on isolated luteal cells, and finally to verify a potential involvement of OXA in angiogenesis, a crucial event in corpus luteum development. Our data demonstrate the local expression of OXA and its receptors in swine corpus luteum. Luteal cell functions were affected by treatment with OXA. In particular, progesterone production was inhibited (P < 0.05) and nonenzymatic scavenging activity was increased (P < 0.05). Moreover, OXA inhibited (P < 0.05) new vessel growth. Our results suggest that OXA could act locally to play a role in corpus luteum demise.

Bisphenol A induces proliferative effects on both breast cancer cells and vascular endothelial cells through a shared GPER-dependent pathway in hypoxia. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2017; 231:1609-1620.

Abstract
Based on the breast cancer cells and the vascular endothelial cells are both estrogen-sensitive, we proposed a close reciprocity existed between them in the tumor microenvironment, via shared molecular mechanism affected by environmental endocrine disruptors (EDCs). In this study, bisphenol A (BPA), via triggering G-protein estrogen receptor (GPER), stimulated cell proliferation and migration of bovine vascular endothelial cells (BVECs) and breast cancer cells (SkBr-3 and MDA-MB-231) and enhanced tumor growth in vivo. Moreover, the expression of both hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were up-regulated in a GPER-dependent manner by BPA treatment under hypoxic condition, and the activated GPER induced the HIF-1α expression by competitively binding to caveolin-1 (Cav-1) and facilitating the release of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). These findings show that in a hypoxic microenvironment, BPA promotes HIF-1α and VEGF expressions through a shared GPER/Cav-1/HSP90 signaling cascade. Our observations provide a probable hypothesis that the effects of BPA on tumor development are copromoting relevant biological responses in both vascular endothelial and breast cancer cells.
