Zhu Y, Liu X, Shi Y, Liu X, Li H, Ru S, Tian H. Prenatal exposure to bisphenol AF causes toxicities in liver, spleen, and kidney tissues of SD rats. Food Chem Toxicol 2024; 192:114939. [PMID: 39151878 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2024.114939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2024] [Revised: 08/04/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024]
Abstract
As a replacement for bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol AF (BPAF) showed stronger maternal transfer and higher fetal accumulation than BPA. Therefore, concerns should be raised about the health risks of maternal exposure to BPAF during gestation on the offspring. In this study, SD rats were exposed to BPAF (0, 50, and 100 mg/kg/day) during gestation to investigate the bioaccumulation and adverse effects in liver, spleen, and kidney tissues of the offspring at weaning period. Bioaccumulation of BPAF in these tissues with concentrations ranging from 1.56 ng/mg (in spleen of males) to 55.44 ng/mg (in liver of females) led to adverse effects at different biological levels, including increased relative weights of spleen and kidneys, histopathological damage in liver, spleen, and kidney, organ functional damage in liver, spleen, and kidney, upregulated expression of genes related to lipid metabolism (in liver), oxidative stress response (in kidney), immunity and inflammatory (in spleen). Furthermore, dysregulated metabolomics was identified in spleen, with 217 differential metabolites screened and 9 KEGG pathways significantly enriched. This study provides a comprehensive insight into the systemic toxicities of prenatal exposure to BPAF in SD rats. Given the broad applications and widespread occurrence of BPAF, its safety should be re-considered.

Abstract
Environmental pollution is escalating due to rapid global development that often prioritizes human needs over planetary health. Despite global efforts to mitigate legacy pollutants, the continuous introduction of new substances remains a major threat to both people and the planet. In response, global initiatives are focusing on risk assessment and regulation of emerging contaminants, as demonstrated by the ongoing efforts to establish the UN's Intergovernmental Science-Policy Panel on Chemicals, Waste, and Pollution Prevention. This review identifies the sources and impacts of emerging contaminants on planetary health, emphasizing the importance of adopting a One Health approach. Strategies for monitoring and addressing these pollutants are discussed, underscoring the need for robust and socially equitable environmental policies at both regional and international levels. Urgent actions are needed to transition toward sustainable pollution management practices to safeguard our planet for future generations.

Abstract
Plastics, while providing modern conveniences, have become an inescapable source of global concern due to their role in environmental pollution. Particularly, the focus on bisphenol A (BPA) reveals its biohazardous nature and association with liver issues, specifically steatosis. However, research indicates that BPA is just one facet of the problem, as other bisphenol analogues, microplastics, nanoplastics and additional plastic derivatives also pose potential risks. Notably, BPA is implicated in every stage of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) onset and progression, surpassing hepatitis B virus as a primary cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. As plastic contamination tops the environmental contaminants list, urgent action is needed to assess causative factors and mitigate their impact. This review delves into the molecular disruptions linking plastic pollutant exposure to liver diseases, emphasizing the broader connection between plastics and the rising prevalence of NAFLD.

Abstract
The zebrafish has been used in research for over 80 years. In the last three decades, discoveries about the fundamental properties of development, regeneration, cancer, and other diseases have established the zebrafish as an important model organism in biomedical research. This study aimed to evaluate liver alterations in zebrafish by quantitatively assessing the areas occupied by hepatocytes, as well as connective and adipose tissues. Forty-eight adult Danio rerio (38 males and 10 females) of approximately 13 months of age were used. They were divided into four groups, with 12 animals each. The fish were randomly distributed to form the groups, which received a maintenance and/or hypercaloric diet, with or without the addition of physical exercise. The animals underwent six hours of forced exercise (5 cm/s) for thirteen weeks. The animals that practiced physical exercise had a higher volumetric density of the area occupied by hepatocytes (65.92%±1.81 - GMex and 50.75%±2.24 GHex) among the groups. The GH group had a higher volumetric density of the area occupied by connective tissue (15.12%±0.72), followed by the GHex group (13.53%±1.43). Regarding the volumetric density of the area occupied by adipose tissue, the GH group had a higher density (27.21%±1.36), followed by the GHex group (21.66%±1.11) with statistically significant differences. The GMex had a volumetric density of the area occupied by adipose tissue of 3.5%±0.76, while the GM had 5.7%±0.5, with statistical difference. In relation to the animals in the GHex group, they had 20.39% less fat than the animals in the GH group. The animals in the GMex group had 72.47% less fat than those in the GM group. It is concluded that the different dietary constitutions and the imposition of physical exercise were able to modify the structural architecture of the liver of Danio rerio. These are acceptable criteria for modulations, thus aiming at the control and possible interferences directly related to the metabolism of the species and therefore the control of diseases.

Abstract
Given continuous development in society and the economy, obesity has become a global epidemic, arousing great concern. In addition to genetic and dietary factors, exposure to environmental chemicals is associated with the occurrence and development of obesity. Current research has indicated that some chemicals with endocrine-disrupting effects can affect lipid metabolism in vivo, causing elevated lipid storage. These chemicals are called "environmental obesogens". Synthetic phenolic compounds (SPCs) are widely used in industrial and daily products, such as plastic products, disinfectants, pesticides, food additives, and so on. The exposure routes of SPCs to the human body may include food and water consumption, direct skin contact, etc. Their unintended exposure could cause harmful effects on human health. As a type of endocrine disruptor, SPCs interfere with adipogenesis and lipid metabolism, exhibiting the characteristics of environmental obesogens. Because SPCs have similar phenolic structures, gathering information on their influences on lipid metabolism would be helpful to understand their structure-related effects. In this review, three commonly used research methods for screening environmental obesogens, including in vitro testing for molecular interactions, cell adipogenic differentiation models, and in vivo studies on lipid metabolism, are summarized, and the advantages and disadvantages of these methods are compared and discussed. Based on both in vitro and in vivo data, three types of SPCs, including bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogues, alkylphenols (APs), and synthetic phenolic antioxidants (SPAs), are systematically discussed in terms of their ability to disrupt adipogenesis and lipid metabolism by focusing on adipose and hepatic tissues, among others. Common findings on the effects of these SPCs on adipocyte differentiation, lipid storage, hepatic lipid accumulation, and liver steatosis are described. The underlying toxicological mechanisms are also discussed from the aspects of nuclear receptor transactivation, inflammation and oxidative stress regulation, intestinal microenvironment alteration, epigenetic modification, and some other signaling pathways. Future research to increase public knowledge on the obesogenic effects of emerging chemicals of concern is encouraged.

BACKGROUND Bisphenol A (BPA) levels are high in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The mechanism by which BPA induces abnormal glucose metabolism in PCOS patients is largely unknown. METHODS Serum and urine samples were collected from women with and without PCOS (control) at the reproductive medicine center with informed consent. Non-PCOS patients who received in vitro fertilization were recruited for collection of ovarian follicular fluid and granular cells. Wild-type C57BL/6 and AhR -/- mice were used to verify the effects of BPA on PCOS. Real-time PCR, western blotting, and ELISA were conducted to analyze the function of BPA. Chip-qPCR verified the role of AhR in GLUT4 transcription. Flow cytometry was performed to determine glucose uptake. RESULTS A positive correlation was observed between BPA concentration and serum BPA levels in PCOS patients. BPA aggravated the changes in PCOS with abnormal glucose metabolism, impaired fertility, and increased body fat. Mechanistically, we showed that BPA activated AhR and led to decreased glucose transport via GLUT4 downregulation in ovarian granular cells. Therefore, the use of inhibitors or knockout of AhR could effectively rescue BPA-induced metabolic disorders in PCOS mice. CONCLUSIONS Our results revealed that BPA suppressed GLUT4 expression and induced abnormal glucose metabolism by activating AhR, causing insulin resistance, and is thus a potential contributor to the development of PCOS. Therefore, AhR could be a potential new therapeutic target for PCOS. Video Abstract.

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.

Abstract
Pesticides are considered one of the main causes of the population decline of reptiles worldwide, with freshwater turtles being particularly susceptible to aquatic contamination. In this context, we investigated the potential mutagenic, hepatotoxic, and neurotoxic effects in neonates of Podocnemis expansa exposed to substrate contaminated with different concentrations of glyphosate and/or fipronil during embryonic development. Eggs collected from the natural environment were artificially incubated in sand moistened with pure water, water added with glyphosate Atar 48® at concentrations of 65 and 6500 μg/L (groups G1 and G2, respectively), water added with fipronil Regent® 800WG at 4 and 400 μg/L (groups F1 and F2, respectively) and, water added with the combination of 65 μg/L glyphosate and 4 μg/L fipronil or with 6500 μg/L glyphosate and 400 μg/L fipronil (groups GF1 and GF2, respectively). For mutagenicity analysis, we evaluated the frequency of micronuclei (MN) and other erythrocyte nuclear abnormalities (ENAs), while for evaluation of hepatotoxicity and neurotoxicity, livers and encephalon were analyzed for histopathological alterations. Exposure to pesticides, alone or in combination, increased the frequency of erythrocyte nuclear abnormalities, particularly blebbed nuclei, moved nuclei, and notched nuclei. Individuals exposed to fipronil exhibited congestion and inflammatory infiltrate in their liver tissue, while, in the encephalon, congestion, and necrosis were present. Our study confirms that the incubation of eggs in substrate polluted with glyphosate and fipronil causes histopathological damage and mutagenic alteration in P. expansa, highlighting the importance of using different biomarkers to evaluate the ecotoxicological effects of these pesticides, especially in oviparous animals.

Abstract
The liver is a primary line of defense for protection from external substances next to the intestinal barrier. As a result, the hepatic immune system plays a central role in liver pathophysiology. Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most common endocrine disrupting chemicals and is primarily metabolized in the liver. Due to its ability to bind to estrogen receptors, BPA is well known to possess estrogenic activity and disrupt reproductive functions. The phase I and Phase II metabolism reactions of BPA mainly occur in the liver with the help of enzymes including cytochrome P450 (CYP), uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase-glucuronosyltransferases, sulfotransferases, and glutathione-S-transferases. Although the majority of BPA is excreted after conjugation by these enzymes, untransformed BPA induces the production of reactive oxygen species through disruption of the enzymatic complex CYP, lipid accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress and inflammatory injury in the liver. Moreover, it has been proposed to possess a potential immunomodulatory effect. Indeed, several in vivo and in vitro studies have reported that low doses of BPA increase the population of T cells with type 1 T helper (Th1), Th2, and Th17 cells. Although the current literature lacks clear evidence on the mechanisms by which BPA is involved in T cell mediated immune responses, recent multi-omics studies suggest that it may directly interact with the antigen processing and presentation pathways. In this review, we first discuss the metabolism of BPA in the liver, before exploring currently available data on its effects on liver injury. Finally, we review its modulatory effects on the hepatic immune response, as well as potential mechanisms. By conducting this review, we aim to improve understanding on the relationship between BPA exposure and immune-related liver injury, with a focus on the antigen processing and presentation pathway and T cell-mediated response in the liver.

Abstract
Exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA) has led to an increased risk of obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLDs). However, it is as yet unclear if the damage caused by BPA is able to be repaired sufficiently after exposure has ceased. Therefore, this project aims to investigate the effects of BPA on the hepatic lipid metabolism function and its potential mechanisms in mice by comparing the BPA exposure model and the BPA exposure + cessation of drug treatment model. Herein, the male C57BL/6 mice were exposed in the dose of 50 μg/kg/day and 500 μg/kg/day BPA for 8 weeks, and then transferred to a standard chow diet for another 8 weeks to recover. Based on our previous RNA-seq study, we examined the expression patterns of some key genes. The results showed that the mice exposed to BPA manifested NAFLD features. Importantly, we also found that there was a significant expression reversion for SCD1, APOD, ANGPT4, PPARβ, LPL and G0S2 between the exposure and recovery groups, especially for SCD1 and APOD (p < 0.01). Notably, BPA could significantly decrease the level of APOD protein (p < 0.01) whereas there was an extremely significant increase after the exposure ceased. Meanwhile, APOD over-expression suppressed TG accumulation in the AML12 cells. In conclusion, the damage caused by BPA is able to be repaired by the upregulation of APOD and exposure to BPA should be carefully examined in chronic liver metabolic disorders or diseases.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a plasticiser used in the manufacturing of many products and its effects on human health remain controversial. Up till now, BPA involvement in metabolic syndrome risk and development is still not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of prenatal BPA exposure with postnatal trans-fat diet intake on metabolic parameters and pancreatic tissue histology. Eighteen pregnant rats were divided into control (CTL), vehicle tween 80 (VHC), and BPA (5 mg/kg/day) from gestational day (GD) 2 until GD 21, then their weaning rat's offspring were fed with normal diet (ND) or trans-fat diet (TFD) from postnatal week (PNW) 3 until PNW 14. The rats were then sacrificed and the blood (biochemical analysis) and pancreatic tissues (histological analysis) were collected. Glucose, insulin, and lipid profile were measured. The study has shown that there was no significant difference between groups with regard to glucose, insulin, and lipid profiles (p > 0.05). All pancreatic tissues showed normal architecture with irregular islets of Langerhans in TFD intake groups compared to offspring that consumed ND. Furthermore, the pancreatic histomorphometry was also affected whereby the study findings revealed that there was a significant increase in the mean number of pancreatic islets in rats from BPA-TFD group (5.987 ± 0.3159 islets/field, p = 0.0022) compared to those fed with ND and BPA non-exposed. In addition, the results have found that prenatal BPA exposure resulted in a significant decrease in the pancreatic islets diameter of the BPA-ND group (183.3 ± 23.28 µm, p = 0.0022) compared to all other groups. In conclusion, prenatal BPA exposure with postnatal TFD in the offspring may affect glucose homeostasis and pancreatic islets in adulthood, and the effect may be more aggravated in late adulthood.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of chronic liver disease and represents an increasing public health issue given the limited treatment options and its association with several other metabolic and inflammatory disorders. The epidemic, still growing prevalence of NAFLD worldwide cannot be merely explained by changes in diet and lifestyle that occurred in the last few decades, nor from their association with genetic and epigenetic risk factors. It is conceivable that environmental pollutants, which act as endocrine and metabolic disruptors, may contribute to the spreading of this pathology due to their ability to enter the food chain and be ingested through contaminated food and water. Given the strict interplay between nutrients and the regulation of hepatic metabolism and reproductive functions in females, pollutant-induced metabolic dysfunctions may be of particular relevance for the female liver, dampening sex differences in NAFLD prevalence. Dietary intake of environmental pollutants can be particularly detrimental during gestation, when endocrine-disrupting chemicals may interfere with the programming of liver metabolism, accounting for the developmental origin of NAFLD in offspring. This review summarizes cause-effect evidence between environmental pollutants and increased incidence of NAFLD and emphasizes the need for further studies in this field.

Abstract
Bisphenols have been identified as emerging environmental pollutants of high concern with potential adverse effects through interactions with receptor-mediated pathways. However, their potential mechanism of action and health risks through the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) pathway remain poorly understood. In the present study, we aimed to explore the potential disruption mechanism of bisphenols through the FXR signalling pathway. Receptor binding assays showed that bisphenols bound to FXR directly, with tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA; 34-fold), tetrachlorobisphenol A (TCBPA; 8.7-fold), bisphenol AF (BPAF; 2.0-fold), and bisphenol B (BPB; 1.9-fold) showing a significantly stronger binding potency than bisphenol A (BPA). In receptor transcriptional activity assays, bisphenols showed agonistic activity toward FXR, with BPAF, BPB, and bisphenol F (BPF) exhibiting higher activity than BPA, but TBBPA and TCBPA showing significantly weaker activity than BPA. Molecular docking results indicated that the number of hydrogen bonds dictated their binding strength. Intracellular concentrations of bisphenols were quantified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in receptor activity assays, and it was found that the intracellular concentrations of TBBPA and TCBPA were 40-fold lower than those of BPA. Using the bioactivity concentrations in the FXR receptor activity assay, the liver concentrations of bisphenols were estimated using physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models through their serum concentrations, and the hazard quotient (HQ) values were calculated. The results suggest a potentially high concern for the risk of activating the FXR pathway for some populations with high exposure. Overall, these results indicate that bisphenols can bind to and activate FXR receptors, and that the activation mechanism is dependent on cellular uptake and binding strength. This study provides important information regarding the exposure risk of bisphenols, which can promote the development of environmentally friendly bisphenols.

Abstract
Alternatives to Bisphenol A (BPA), such as BPF and BPAF, have found increasing industrial applications. However, toxicological research on these BPA analogues remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the effects of BPA, BPF, and BPAF exposure on hepatotoxicity in mice fed with high-fat diets (HFD). Male mice were exposed to the bisphenols at a dose of 0.05 mg per kg body weight per day (mg/kg bw/day) for eight consecutive weeks, or 5 mg/kg bw/day for the first week followed by 0.05 mg/kg bw/day for seven weeks under HFD. The low dose (0.05 mg/kg bw/day) was corresponding to the tolerable daily intake (TDI) of BPA and the high dose (5 mg/kg bw/day) was corresponding to its no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL). Biochemical analysis revealed that exposure to these bisphenols resulted in liver damage. Metabolomics analysis showed disturbances of fatty acid and lipid metabolism in bisphenol-exposed mouse livers. BPF and BPAF exposure reduced lipid accumulation in HFD mouse liver by lowering glyceride and cholesterol levels. Transcriptomics analysis demonstrated that expression levels of genes related to fatty acid synthesis and metabolism were changed, which might be related to the activation of the PPAR signaling pathway. Besides, a feedback regulation mechanism might exist to maintain hepatic metabolic homeostasis. For the first time, this study demonstrated the effects of BPF and BPAF exposure in HFD-mouse liver. Considering the reality of the high prevalence of obesity nowadays and the ubiquitous environmental distribution of bisphenols, this study provides insight and highlights the adverse effects of BPA alternatives, further contributing to the consideration of the safe use of such compounds.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence that maternal exposure to environmental pollutants can cause intestinal and metabolic diseases, and these disease risks still exist in offspring. Here, female C57BL/6 mice were orally treated with procymidone (PRO) (10 and 100 mg/kg body weight/day) by dietary supplementation during the gestation and lactation periods. Then, we discovered PRO changed the physiology, intestinal barrier and metabolism both in the generations of F0 and different developmental stages of F1 (7 weeks and 30 weeks old, respectively). Maternal PRO exposure affected the growth phenotypes and the glucolipid metabolism related indicators and genes of mice, especially the male mice of F1 generations. The changes in bile acids (BAs) metabolism demonstrated that PRO disordered glucolipid metabolism through enterohepatic circulation. Furthermore, PRO reduced mucus secretion in the gut and altered the composition of gut microbiota, leading more bacteria to disseminate in the gut and inflammatory responses both in F0 and F1 regenerations. And PRO-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis was tightly related to BAs metabolites. Together, the results indicated that PRO destructed the functional integrity of intestinal barrier and the inflammatory reaction was triggered. And then, the disorder of glucolipid metabolism was induced through the BAs enterohepatic circulation. This study indicated that the cross-generation effects of PRO could not be ignored.

Abstract
In 2015, EFSA established a temporary tolerable daily intake (t-TDI) for BPA of 4 μg/kg body weight (bw) per day. In 2016, the European Commission mandated EFSA to re-evaluate the risks to public health from the presence of BPA in foodstuffs and to establish a tolerable daily intake (TDI). For this re-evaluation, a pre-established protocol was used that had undergone public consultation. The CEP Panel concluded that it is Unlikely to Very Unlikely that BPA presents a genotoxic hazard through a direct mechanism. Taking into consideration the evidence from animal data and support from human observational studies, the immune system was identified as most sensitive to BPA exposure. An effect on Th17 cells in mice was identified as the critical effect; these cells are pivotal in cellular immune mechanisms and involved in the development of inflammatory conditions, including autoimmunity and lung inflammation. A reference point (RP) of 8.2 ng/kg bw per day, expressed as human equivalent dose, was identified for the critical effect. Uncertainty analysis assessed a probability of 57-73% that the lowest estimated Benchmark Dose (BMD) for other health effects was below the RP based on Th17 cells. In view of this, the CEP Panel judged that an additional uncertainty factor (UF) of 2 was needed for establishing the TDI. Applying an overall UF of 50 to the RP, a TDI of 0.2 ng BPA/kg bw per day was established. Comparison of this TDI with the dietary exposure estimates from the 2015 EFSA opinion showed that both the mean and the 95th percentile dietary exposures in all age groups exceeded the TDI by two to three orders of magnitude. Even considering the uncertainty in the exposure assessment, the exceedance being so large, the CEP Panel concluded that there is a health concern from dietary BPA exposure.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the main liver disease worldwide, and its prevalence in children and adolescents has been increasing in the past years. It has been demonstrated that parental exposure to different conditions, both preconceptionally and during pregnancy, can lead to fetal programming of several metabolic diseases, including NAFLD. In this article, we review some of the maternal and paternal conditions that may be involved in early-life programing of adult NAFLD. First, we describe the maternal nutritional factors that have been suggested to increase the risk of NAFLD in the offspring, such as an obesogenic diet, overweight/obesity, and altered lipogenesis. Second, we review the association of certain vitamin supplementation and the use of some drugs during pregnancy, for instance, glucocorticoids, with a higher risk of NAFLD. Furthermore, we discuss the evidence showing that maternal-fetal pathologies, including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), insulin resistance (IR), and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), as well as the exposure to environmental contaminants, and the impact of microbiome changes, are important factors in early-life programming of NAFLD. Finally, we review how paternal preconceptional conditions, such as exercise and diet (particularly obesogenic diets), may impact fetal growth and liver function. Altogether, the presented evidence supports the hypothesis that both in utero exposure and parental conditions may influence fetal outcomes, including the development of NAFLD in early life and adulthood. The study of these conditions is crucial to better understand the diverse mechanisms involved in NAFLD, as well as for defining new preventive strategies for this disease.

Abstract
Environmental chemicals can induce liver defects in experimental animals due to their direct and acute exposure. It is not clear whether environmental chemical exposures result in the transgenerational passage of liver defects in subsequent generations living in an uncontaminated environment. Bisphenol A (BPA), a plasticizer chemical, has been ubiquitous in the environment in the recent decade. Every organism is exposed to this chemical at some point during its lifetime. Literature suggests that direct BPA exposure can result in several metabolic diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Despite the phasing out of BPA from several consumer goods, it is unclear whether ancestral BPA exposure causes liver health problems in the unexposed future generations. Here, we demonstrate an advanced stage of NAFLD in the grandchildren (F2 generation) of medaka fish (Oryzias latipes) due to embryonic BPA exposure in the grandparental generation (F0), which persists for five generations (F4) even in the absence of BPA. The severity of transgenerational NAFLD phenotype included steatosis together with perisinusoidal fibrosis and apoptosis of hepatocytes. Adult females developed more severe histopathological conditions in the liver than males. Genes encoding enzymes involved in lipolytic pathways were significantly decreased. The present results suggest that ancestral BPA exposure can result in transgenerational metabolic diseases that can persist for five generations and that the NAFLD trait is sexually dimorphic. Given that ancestral BPA exposure can lead to altered metabolic health outcomes in the subsequent unexposed generations, the development of the methods and strategies to mitigate the transgenerational onset of metabolic diseases seem imperative to protect future generations.

Abstract
Human are exposed to microplastics (MP) via inhalation or ingestion daily and inevitably. The liver is an important target organ of MP. Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of commonly used plasticizers. It is added in plastics, but also generally detected in the biological samples of human beings. However, the combined toxic effect of MP and BPA on human liver is unclear. In this study, a novel 3D in vitro model, the liver organoid (LO) derived from human-pluripotent stem cells, has been utilized to explore the 1 μm polystyrene (PS)-induced hepatotoxicity with BPA individually and jointly. Conclusively, all the changes in the cytotoxicity, cellular and molecular makers regarding the energy supplement, hepatic injury, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, disruption in the lipid accumulation, as well as epigenetics regulation induced by BPA or PS on the LOs individually were comparable to previous study. The BPA levels in the culture medium were declined by the added PS. The combined adverse effect of PS and BPA on the LOs was identified to be synergistic upon deteriorated hepatotoxicity and interfered the gene panels related to multiple processes of lipid metabolism, together with the proteins of HNF4A, CD36, ACC1, CPT1A, CYP2E1, ERα and ERβ. Specifically, PS didn't change the ERα or ERβ individually, but when the LOs were co-exposed to PS and BPA, the ERα further elevated significantly and synergistically. Our findings highlight the metabolic-related health risk due to co-exposure to MP and BPA, even at low-doses equivalent to human internal exposure level. Based on these findings, the potential adverse outcome pathway related to PS and BPA singly and jointly were proposed, predicting two possible outcomes to be hepatic steatosis. Moreover, the ERα and HNF4A were proposed to be potential candidate markers to investigate the "vector-like effect" of PS in the present of BPA.

Abstract
Hyperlipidemia is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular and endocrine diseases. However, effective approaches for treating this common metabolic disorder remain limited. Ginseng has traditionally been used as a natural medicine for invigorating energy or "Qi" and has been demonstrated to possess antioxidative, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory properties. A large number of studies have shown that ginsenosides, the main active ingredient of ginseng, have lipid-lowering effects. However, there remains a lack of systematic reviews detailing the molecular mechanisms by which ginsenosides reduce blood lipid levels, especially in relation to oxidative stress. For this article, research studies detailing the molecular mechanisms through which ginsenosides regulate oxidative stress and lower blood lipids in the treatment of hyperlipidemia and its related diseases (diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and atherosclerosis) were comprehensively reviewed. The relevant papers were search on seven literature databases. According to the studies reviewed, ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rb3, Re, Rg1, Rg3, Rh2, Rh4, and F2 inhibit oxidative stress by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes, promoting fatty acid β-oxidation and autophagy, and regulating the intestinal flora to alleviate high blood pressure and improve the body's lipid status. These effects are related to the regulation of various signaling pathways, such as those of PPARα, Nrf2, mitogen-activated protein kinases, SIRT3/FOXO3/SOD, and AMPK/SIRT1. These findings suggest that ginseng is a natural medicine with lipid-lowering effects.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an environmental contaminant that might be harmful. Human exposure to BPA can occur during the fetal and postnatal periods and extends throughout life. This study aimed to estimate the effects of oral administration of BPA on rat liver and assess the possibility of recovery after cessation. Adult male albino rats were orally administered with BPA (50 mg/kg body weight) for 8 weeks, and then one group was left to recover for 4 weeks. Histological, immunohistochemical, biochemical, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assessments were performed. Loss of hepatic architecture, vascular dilatation congestion, and exudation, as well as cellular vacuolation, fat accumulation, and pyknotic nuclei were detected. Furthermore, inflammatory infiltration, localized metaplasia, and excessive collagen deposition in the portal triad were observed. Expression of Bcl-2-associated X protein and transforming growth factor beta 1 was prominent, denoting apoptosis and fibrosis. After the administration of BPA, serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoproteins were enhanced. Additionally, total protein, albumin, and high-density lipoproteins decreased. After a recovery for 4 weeks, hepatic cellular and vascular pathologies returned to normal, except for some inflammatory infiltration. Regarding biochemical affection, most of the parameters were directed toward normal during recovery. However, most of them were still significantly different from controls. This explored BPA hepatotoxicity from structural and functional aspects, and the possible spontaneous reversibility was confirmed. However, the precise mechanisms underlying hepatotoxicity or recovery need more in-depth investigations.

Abstract
The liver is an organ of vital importance in the body; it is the center of metabolic activities and acts as the primary line of defense against toxic compounds. Exposure to environmental toxicants is an unavoidable fallout from rapid industrialization across the world and is even higher in developing countries. Technological development and industrialization have led to the release of toxicants such as pollutant toxic gases, chemical discharge, industrial effluents, pesticides and solvents, into the environment. In the last few years, a growing body of evidence has shed light on the potential impact of environmental toxicants on liver health, in particular, on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) incidence and progression. NAFLD is a multifactorial disease linked to metabolic derangement including diabetes and other complications. Environmental toxicants including xenobiotics and pollutants may have a direct or indirect steatogenic/fibrogenic impact on the liver and should be considered as risk factors associated with NAFLD. This review discusses the contribution of environmental toxicants toward the increasing disease burden of NAFLD.

Abstract
Bisphenols (BPs), the main endocrine-disrupting chemicals used in polycarbonate plastics, epoxy-phenol resins, and some other manufacturers, have been interestingly focused to find their toxic effects in recent years. Due to the strong relation between bisphenols and some crucial receptors such as ERs, AR, glucocorticoid receptor, THRs, ERRs, hPXR, AhR, and etcetera, the disrupting and oncogenic role of these chemicals on reproductive, respiratory, and circulatory systems and a broad group of body tissues have been investigated. BPs induce oxidant enzymes, exert antioxidant enzymes from body cells, and result in the expression of proinflammatory genes, leading to cell apoptosis and inflammation. To maintain the homeostasis of human body cells, Nrf2, the key regulator of oxidative stress (Ashrafizadeh et al., 2020a; Ashrafizadeh et al., 2020c; Boroumand et al., 2018), confronts BP-induced ROS and RNS through the activation of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD1/2, CAT, GSH, GPX, HO-1, and etcetera. Chemicals and drugs such as LUT, NAC, GEN, L-NMMA, Ph2Se2, and GE can regulate the interactions between BPs and Nrf2. Despite the vital role of controlled levels of Nrf2 as an anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic element, the uncontrolled activity of this transcription factor could lead to cell proliferation and tumorigenesis through NQO1, SLC7a11, Gclm, HMOX1, NQO1 gene activation, and some other genes. To avoid the excessive activity of Nrf2, some protein complexes like CUL3-RBX1-Keap1 (as the primary regulator), β-TrCP, and WDR23 regulate Nrf2's function. It is necessary to note that BPA, as the most famous member, is further reviewed due to its resemblance to the bisphenol family to each other.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Oxysterols are cholesterol oxidation products and bioactive lipids involved in developmental signaling pathways, embryonic and postembryonic tissue patterning and homeostasis. The embryonic period is a very sensitive window of exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), hence the role of BPA on the levels of oxysterols in the very early stages of zebrafish embryogenesis is a relevant novel field of investigation. OBJECTIVES To compare the role of BPA on oxysterols levels in zebrafish embryos at 8 and 24 hours post fertilization (hpf) with cytochromes P450 (CYPs)-modulating chemicals (carbamazepine, ketoconazole, and hydrogen peroxide). METHODS Upon a dose range finding, zebrafish embryos were exposed to environmentally relevant (0.04μM) and toxicological (17.5 μM) BPA concentrations. Seven oxysterols were profiled by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). RESULTS Similarly to the CYPs-modulating chemicals, BPA caused: i) no significant changes at 8 hpf and ii) a dose-dependent increase of total oxysterols at 24 hpf, with 27-hydroxycholesterol as the most regulated oxysterol. DISCUSSION In the first day post-fertilization of the zebrafish embryos, the role of BPA alike a CYPs-modulating chemical was confirmed by the similar oxysterol changes observed with the already known CYPs-modulating chemicals.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine-disrupting chemical that affects lipid metabolism and contributes to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The mechanism of BPA exposure in hepatic lipid accumulation and its potential effect on NAFLD remain unclear. This study investigated the effect of BPA-exposure-induced hepatic lipid deposition on the pathology of NAFLD and its underlying mechanism in vitro and in vivo. BPA increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and promoted fatty acid uptake through upregulation of a free fatty acid uptake transporter, cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36), in HUH-7 cells. Additionally, C57BL/6 mice administered a high-fat/high-cholesterol/high-cholic acid diet (HFCCD) and BPA (50 mg/kg body weight) for 8 weeks developed a steatohepatitis-like phenotype, characterized by alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA, an indicator of hepatic fibrosis) and cleaved caspase 3 (an indicator of apoptosis) in hepatic tissue; moreover, they had a higher oxidative stress index of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in liver tissue compared to the control group. Treatment with ROS scavenger n-acetylcysteine (NAC) ameliorated BPA-mediated HFCCD-induced lipid accumulation and steatohepatitis in the livers of treated mice. Our study indicates that BPA acts synergistically to increase hepatic lipid uptake and promote NAFLD development by stimulating ROS-induced CD36 overexpression.

FRONTIERS IN TOXICOLOGY 2022; 3:663372. [PMID: 35295127 PMCID: PMC8915840 DOI: 10.3389/ftox.2021.663372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Developmental origin of health and disease postulates that the footprints of early life exposure are followed as an endowment of risk for adult diseases. Epidemiological and experimental evidence suggest that an adverse fetal environment can affect the health of offspring throughout their lifetime. Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) during fetal development can affect the hormone system homeostasis, resulting in a broad spectrum of adverse health outcomes. In the present review, we have described the effect of prenatal EDCs exposure on cardio-metabolic-renal health, using the available epidemiological and experimental evidence. We also discuss the potential mechanisms of their action, which include epigenetic changes, hormonal imprinting, loss of energy homeostasis, and metabolic perturbations. The effect of prenatal EDCs exposure on cardio-metabolic-renal health, which is a complex condition of an altered biological landscape, can be further examined in the case of other environmental stressors with a similar mode of action.

Abstract
Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), which is often linked to obesity, encompasses a large spectrum of hepatic lesions, including simple fatty liver, steatohepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Besides nutritional and genetic factors, different xenobiotics such as pharmaceuticals and environmental toxicants are suspected to aggravate MAFLD in obese individuals. More specifically, pre-existing fatty liver or steatohepatitis may worsen, or fatty liver may progress faster to steatohepatitis in treated patients, or exposed individuals. The mechanisms whereby xenobiotics can aggravate MAFLD are still poorly understood and are currently under deep investigations. Nevertheless, previous studies pointed to the role of different metabolic pathways and cellular events such as activation of de novo lipogenesis and mitochondrial dysfunction, mostly associated with reactive oxygen species overproduction. This review presents the available data gathered with some prototypic compounds with a focus on corticosteroids and rosiglitazone for pharmaceuticals as well as bisphenol A and perfluorooctanoic acid for endocrine disruptors. Although not typically considered as a xenobiotic, ethanol is also discussed because its abuse has dire consequences on obese liver.

Gestational exposure to high fat diets and bisphenol A alters metabolic outcomes in dams and offspring, but produces hepatic steatosis only in dams. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 286:131645.

Abstract
The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing worldwide. Perinatal development is a critical window for altered, lifelong health trajectory, and evidence supports the role of perinatal programming in chronic metabolic diseases. To examine the impact of diet and bisphenol A (BPA) on the developmental trajectory of NAFLD in offspring, we exposed dams from pre-gestation through lactation to a human-relevant dose of oral BPA coupled with intake of high fat Western or Mediterranean-style diets. We assessed hepatic steatosis by quantifying hepatic triglycerides (TGs) and metabolic health by measuring body weight, relative organ weights, and serum hormone levels in dams and offspring at postnatal day 10 (PND10) and 10-months of age. In dams, consumption of the Western or Mediterranean diet increased hepatic TGs 1.7-2.4-fold, independent of BPA intake. Among offspring, both perinatal diet and BPA exposure had a greater impact on metabolic outcomes than on hepatic steatosis. At PND10, serum leptin levels were elevated 2.6-4.8-fold in pups exposed to the Mediterranean diet, with a trend for sex-specific effects on body and organ weights. At 10-months, sex-specific increases in organ weight and hormone levels were observed in mice perinatally exposed to Western + BPA or Mediterranean + BPA. These findings suggest lifestage-specific interaction of perinatal exposures to experimental diets and BPA on offspring metabolic health without effects on NAFLD later in life. Importantly, alterations in dam phenotype by diet and BPA exposure appear to impact offspring health trajectory, emphasizing the need to define dam diet in assessing effects of environmental exposures on offspring health.

Bisphenol A disrupts apolipoprotein E expression through estrogen-related receptor gamma and DNA methlylation in the liver of male rare minnow Gobiocypris rarus. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 228:113041. [PMID: 34863079 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.113041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Revised: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
An increasing number of studies show that bisphenol A (BPA) can cause lipid metabolism disorder. However, few studies focused on the effect of BPA on lipid transport. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) plays important roles in triglyceride (TG) transportation. Our previous study found that ApoE was a sensitive gene in response to BPA exposure in male rare minnow. To investigate the effect and mechanism of BPA on hepatic ApoE, adult male rare minnow Gobiocypris rarus were exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of BPA (15 μg/L) for 1, 3 and 5 weeks. Results showed that BPA inhibited ApoE expression at week 1 and 5, while induced its expression at week 3. A positive estrogen-related receptor gamma (Esrrg) response element was identified in the promoter region of ApoE. The change of the Esrrg recruitment was consistent with ApoE mRNA expression. Moreover, the methylation status of the CpG sites near and on the Esrrg binding sites changed opposite to the ApoE mRNA level, which may be the main cause for the change in Esrrg recruitment. The expression of ApoE protein was significantly enhanced following long-term BPA exposure. Consistently, the TG accumulation was significantly increased in the plasma. The present study demonstrates that BPA could affect rare minnow ApoE expression, which is probably one of the ways for BPA disturbing fish lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Sphingosine kinase 2 (SphK2) inhibitors are developed for tumor therapy as considering its anti-tumor effect. Many studies also explored SphK2 modulated glucose and lipid homeostasis, which extended its potential function for metabolic diseases therapy. In this study, we discovered a significant reduction of hepatic lipid accumulation as well as recovery of liver function in ob/ob mice with intraperitoneal injection of K145. Also, db/db mice received K145 showed improvement of both NALFD and hyperglycemia. We furtherly analyzed the genes associated with lipid metabolism and found a remarkable decreased expression of lipogenic genes including FAS, ACC1 and SREBP1c whereas elevated mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) related genes expression including CPT1A, MCAD, LCAD, PPAR-α, UCP2. Consistent to in vivo study, in vitro study also confirmed the role of K145 in decreasing lipid accumulation in human HL7702 cells, while inhibiting FAS, ACC1 and SREBP1c mRNA expression. It indicated a possible mechanism of K145 induced improvement of hepatic lipid accumulation partly via inhibition of lipigenesis. Our study suggested a promising role of K145 in drug development for NAFLD and diabetes therapy.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) play indispensable roles in numerous physiological processes; hence, the visualization of the dynamic behavior of LDs in living cells is of great importance in physiological and pathological research. In this article, the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) theory was employed as an effective design strategy for the development of organelle-targeting carbon dots (CDs). The lipid-water partition coefficient (Log P) of the QSAR was adopted as a key parameter to predict the cellular uptake and subcellular localization of CDs in live cells. By carefully adjusting the molecular structure and lipophilicity of the precursors, p-phenylenediamine-derivatized nucleolus-targeting hydrophilic CDs were converted to lipophilic CDs [4-piperidinoaniline (PA) CDs] with inherent LD-targeting performance. The PA CDs were able to indicate the dynamic behavior of LDs and visualize the changes of bisphenol A-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease-like changes in a cellular model. The QSAR strategy of CDs demonstrated here is expected to be increasingly exploited as a powerful design tool for developing various organelle-targeting CDs.

Abstract
A perinatal high-salt (HS) diet was reported to elevate plasma triglycerides. This study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that a perinatal HS diet predisposed offspring to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the hepatic manifestation of abnormal lipid metabolism, and the possible mechanism. Female C57BL/6 mice were fed a control diet (0.5% NaCl) or HS diet (4% NaCl) during pregnancy and lactation and their offspring were sacrificed at weaning. The perinatal HS diet induced greater variation in fecal microbial beta-diversity (β-diversity) and increased bacteria abundance of Proteobacteria and Bacteroides. The gut microbiota dysbiosis promoted bile acid homeostasis disbalance, characterized by the accumulation of lithocholic acid (LCA) and deoxycholic acid (DCA) in feces. These alterations disturbed gut barrier by increasing the expression of tight junction protein (Tjp) and occludin (Ocln), and increased systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels and hepatic inflammatory cytokine secretion (TNF-α and IL-6) in the liver. The perinatal HS diet also inhibited hepatic expression of hepatic FXR signaling (CYP7A1 and FXR), thus triggering increased hepatic expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6) and hepatic lipid metabolism-associated genes (SREBP-1c, FAS, ACC), leading to unique characteristics of NAFLD. In conclusion, a perinatal HS diet induced NAFLD in weanling mice offspring; the possible mechanism was related to increased bacteria abundance of Proteobacteria and Bacteroides, increased levels of LCA and DCA in feces, and increased expressions of hepatic FXR signaling.

Abstract
Bis(2-ethylhexyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrabromophthalate (TBPH), a novel brominated flame retardant, can potentially cause lipid metabolism disorder; however, its biological effects on lipid homeostasis remain unknown. We investigated its ability to cause nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in zebrafish. Female zebrafish were fed a high-fat diet (HFD, 24% crude fat) or normal diet (ND, 6% crude fat), and exposed to TBPH (0.02, 2.0 μM) for 2 weeks. Consequently, HFD-fed fish showed a higher measured concentration of TBPH than ND-fed fish. Further, TBPH-treated fish in the HFD group showed higher hepatic triglyceride levels and steatosis. In comparison to ND-fed fish, treating HFD-fed fish with TBPH led to an increase in the concentration of several proinflammatory markers (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6); TBPH exposure also caused oxidative stress. In addition, the mRNA levels of genes encoding peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors were increased, and the transcription of genes involved in lipid synthesis, transport, and oxidation was upregulated in both ND- and HFD-fed fish. Both the ND and HFD groups also showed demethylation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1-α gene promoter, accompanied by the upregulation of tet1 and tet2 transcription. To summarize, we found that TBPH amplified the disruption of lipid homeostasis in zebrafish, leading to the enhancement of diet-induced NAFLD progression.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic ubiquitous environmental toxicant present in many industrial and consumer products. BPA is recognized as an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), and its mechanisms of perturbation of the physiological process include interference with hormone pathways and epigenetic modifications. An increase in industrial productions and food packaging across Africa has resulted in increased utilization of BPA-containing products with a concomitant increase in environmental bioaccumulation and human exposure. In order to assess the extent of this bioaccumulation, we identified, collated, and summarized the levels of BPA that have been reported across Africa. To achieve this aim, we performed a systematic search of four indexing databases to identify articles and extracted the necessary data from the selected articles. Of the 42 publications we retrieved, 42% were on water samples, 22% on food, 20% on human biological fluids, 10% on sediments, soils, and sludge and 6% on consumer and personal care products (PCPs). The highest level of BPA reported in literature across Africa was 251 ng/mL, 384.8 ng/mL, 937.49 ng/g, 208.55 ng/mL, 3,590 μg/g, and 154,820 μg/g for water, wastewater, food, biological fluids, consumer and PCPs, and semisolids, respectively. This review presented a comparative perspective of these levels relative to regulatory limits and levels reported from other continents. Finally, this review highlighted critical needs for the regulation of BPA across Africa in order to stem its environmental and toxicological impact. We hope that this review will stimulate further research in understanding the impact of BPA on health outcomes and wellbeing across Africa.

Abstract
Breastfeeding provides overall beneficial health to the mother-child dyad and is universally recognized as the preferred feeding mode for infants up to 6-months and beyond. Human milk provides immuno-protection and supplies nutrients and bioactive compounds whose concentrations vary with lactation stage. Environmental and dietary factors potentially lead to excessive chemical exposure in critical windows of development such as neonatal life, including lactation. This review discusses current knowledge on these environmental and dietary contaminants and summarizes the known effects of these chemicals in human milk, taking into account the protective presence of antioxidative molecules. Particular attention is given to short- and long-term effects of these contaminants, considering their role as endocrine disruptors and potential epigenetic modulators. Finally, we identify knowledge gaps and indicate potential future research directions.

Abstract
In the three decades since endocrine disruption was conceptualized at the Wingspread Conference, we have witnessed the growth of this multidisciplinary field and the accumulation of evidence showing the deleterious health effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. It is only within the past decade that, albeit slowly, some changes regarding regulatory measures have taken place. In this Perspective, we address some historical points regarding the advent of the endocrine disruption field and the conceptual changes that endocrine disruption brought about. We also provide our personal recollection of the events triggered by our serendipitous discovery of oestrogenic activity in plastic, a founder event in the field of endocrine disruption. This recollection ends with the CLARITY study as an example of a discordance between 'science for its own sake' and 'regulatory science' and leads us to offer a perspective that could be summarized by the motto attributed to Ludwig Boltzmann: "Nothing is more practical than a good theory".

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2021; 271:116304. [PMID: 33401208 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.116304] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2020] [Revised: 12/08/2020] [Accepted: 12/11/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that the general population's exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) substitutes is ubiquitous. Bisphenol F (BPF), one of the main BPA substitutes, is increasingly replacing BPA in plastics for food and beverage applications. Accumulating evidence suggests that BPA exposure is associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)-like changes. However, the potential effects of BPF on lipid homeostasis remain poorly understood. In the present study, an epidemiological analysis with LC-MS-MS revealed that the BPF concentrations in the serum of NAFLD patients were significantly higher than those in a control group. Supporting this result, using Oil Red O, BODIPY 493/503, LipidTox Deep Red staining and gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) assays, we found that BPF exposure induced NAFLD-like changes, with obvious lipid droplet deposition, triglyceride (TG) and fatty acids increase in mouse livers. Meanwhile, lipid droplet deposition and TG increase induced by BPF were also observed in HepG2 cells, accompanied by autophagic flux blockade, including autophagosome accumulation and the decreased degradation of SQSTM1/p62. Using adenoviruses dual-reporter plasmid RFP-GFP-LC3, RFP-GFP-PLIN2 transfection, AO staining, and EGFR degradation assays, we demonstrated that BPF treatment impaired lysosomal degradative capacity, since BPF treatment obviously impaired lysosomal acidification, manifested as decreased lysosomal hydrolase cathepsin L (CTSL) and mature cathepsin D (CTSD) in HepG2 and mouse liver issues. Additionally, v-ATPase D, a multi-subunit enzyme that mediates acidification of eukaryotic intracellular organelles, significantly decreased after BPF exposure in both the vitro and in vivo studies. This study ascertained a novel mechanism involving dysfunctional of lysosomal degradative capacity induced by BPF, which contributes to lipophagic disorders and causes lipid droplet deposition. This work provides evidence that lysosomes may be a target organelle where BPF exerts its potential toxicity; therefore, novel intervention strategies targeting lysosome are promising for BPF-induced NAFLD-like changes.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The effects of gestational BPA exposure on hepatic lipid accumulation in offspring are not fully understood. Here, we investigate the sex-dependent effects of gestational BPA exposure on hepatic lipid and glucose metabolism in the offspring of mice to reveal the mechanisms underlying gestational BPA exposure-associated NAFLD. Pregnant mice were administered gavage with or without 1 μg kg-1 day-1 BPA at embryonic day 7.5 (E7.5)-E16.5. Hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism were evaluated in these models. Both male and female offspring mice exhibited hepatic fatty liver after BPA treatment. Lipid accumulation and dysfunction of glucose metabolism were observed in male offspring. We revealed abnormal expression of lipid regulators in the liver and that inhibition of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) repressed hepatic lipid accumulation induced by gestational BPA exposure. We also found a sex-dependent decrease of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1b (HNF1b) expression in male offspring. The transcriptional repression of PPARγ by HNF1b was confirmed in L02 cells. Downregulation of HNF1b, upregulation of PPARγ, and subsequent upregulation of hepatic lipid accumulation were essential for NAFLD development in male offspring gestationally exposed to BPA as well as BPA-exposed adult male mice. Dysregulation of the HNF1b/PPARγ pathway may be involved in gestational BPA exposure-induced NAFLD in male offspring. These data provide new insights into the mechanism of gestational BPA exposure-associated sex-dependent glucose and lipid metabolic dysfunction. Graphical abstract Schematic of the mechanism of gestational BPA exposure-induced glucose and lipid metabolic dysfunction.

Exposure to hydrocarbons and chlorpyrifos alters the expression of nuclear receptors and antioxidant, detoxifying, and immune response proteins in the liver of the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 208:111394. [PMID: 33031985 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.111394] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2020] [Revised: 09/18/2020] [Accepted: 09/20/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
The development of oil and gas production together with the fruit production in nearby areas of North Patagonia, Argentina, suggests aquatic pollution scenarios which include permanent oil pollution combined with short events of pesticides application. It has been reported that oil hydrocarbons activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) pathway in the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, and that the insecticide Chlorpyrifos (CPF) interacts with these effects. Thus, it is interesting to investigate whether hydrocarbons and insecticides, applied by separate or combined, can affect fish health and reproductive signaling by acting on different nuclear receptors' regulatory pathways. To study this kind of interactions, we exposed juvenile rainbow trout to water accommodated fraction (WAF) of crude oil (62 μg L-1 TPH) for 48 h and subsequently exposed the livers ex vivo to the insecticide Chlorpyrifos (CPF) (20 µg L-1) for 1 h. We analyzed the mRNA expression of nuclear receptors and proteins involved in detoxifying, antioxidant, immune and apoptosis responses by qRT-PCR. We also performed histopathological analysis. WAF induced the expression of the androgen (AR) and the Liver X receptor (LXR) by 8- and 3-fold, respectively. AR induction was reversed by subsequent exposure to CPF. The progesterone receptor (PR) and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) were increased 2-fold and 3-fold by WAF respectively, while estrogen and mineralocorticoid receptors were not affected. GR was also induced by CPF with an additive effect in the WAF-CPF treatment. The antioxidant genes, gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), superoxide dismutase (SOD1) were induced by WAF (2-3-fold). WAF upregulated the ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily C Member 2 (ABCC2, MRP2) (4-fold) and downregulated alkaline phosphatase. WAF also induced the inflammatory interleukins (IL) IL-8, and IL-6 and the anti-inflammatory IL-10, while CPF induced the inflammatory tumor necrosis factor (-α) and IL-6, and activated the intrinsic apoptotic pathway through the induction of caspases 3 and 9. Both, WAF and CPF downregulated the expression of the extrinsic apoptosis initiator caspase 8 and the inflammatory caspase 1. In conclusion, WAF hydrocarbons alter O. mykiss endocrine regulation by inducing AR, PR and GR. The subsequent exposure to CPF reverses AR, suggesting a complex interaction of different pollutants in contaminated environments, WAF hydrocarbons alter liver metabolism by inducing the expression of LXR, GR, antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes, and both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and causing mild hepatic steatosis. CPF activates inflammatory and stress responses associated with the induction of inflammatory cytokines together with apoptosis initiator and executioner caspases.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterised by insulin resistance and eventual pancreatic β-cell dysfunction, resulting in persistent high blood glucose levels. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) such as bisphenol A (BPA) are currently under scrutiny as they are implicated in the development of metabolic diseases, including T2DM. BPA is a pervasive EDC, being the main constituent of polycarbonate plastics. It can enter the human body by ingestion, through the skin, and cross from mother to offspring via the placenta or breast milk. BPA is a xenoestrogen that alters various aspects of beta cell metabolism via the modulation of oestrogen receptor signalling. In vivo and in vitro models reveal that varying concentrations of BPA disrupt glucose homeostasis and pancreatic β-cell function by altering gene expression and mitochondrial morphology. BPA also plays a role in the development of insulin resistance and has been linked to long-term adverse metabolic effects following foetal and perinatal exposure. Several epidemiological studies reveal a significant association between BPA and the development of insulin resistance and impaired glucose homeostasis, although conflicting findings driven by multiple confounding factors have been reported. In this review, the main findings of epidemiological and functional studies are summarised and compared, and their respective strengths and limitations are discussed. Further research is essential for understanding the exact mechanism of BPA action in various tissues and the extent of its effects on humans at environmentally relevant doses.

Abstract
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), a kind of typical environmental pollutant, is widely used as plasticizers, and its neurotoxicity and developmental toxicity have been found in recent years. However, whether oral DBP exposure will affect the homeostasis of gut microbiota and its adverse response in liver of mammalians remain unclear. In the present study, 10-week experimental cycles of vehicle or DBP (0.1 and 1 mg/kg) were given to 6-week-old C57BL/6J mice by oral gavage. Our results revealed that the body weight of mice was increased after exposure to both low and high doses of DBP. The serum levels of hepatic triglyceride and total cholesterol were significantly increased in response to both doses of DBP. In addition, some pivotal genes related to lipogenesis were also increased in liver at the mRNA level. Evaluation of gut microbiota by 16S rRNA sequencing technology showed that 0.1 mg/kg DBP exposure significantly affected gut microbiota at the phylum and genus levels. Moreover, DBP exposure decreased mucus secretion and caused inflammation in the gut, leading to the impairment of intestinal barrier function. Exposure to DBP inhibited the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ and activated the expression of nuclear factor kappa B. In addition, DBP exposure increased the level of lipopolysaccharide in serum, and increased the expression of toll-like receptor 4 and the levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha, in the liver. These results indicated that exposure to DBP disturbed the homeostasis of gut microbiota, induced hepatic lipid metabolism disorder, and caused liver inflammation in mice via the related gut-liver axis signaling pathways.

Abstract
Background Bisphenol S (BPS) is a common bisphenol A (BPA) substitute, since BPA is virtually banned worldwide. However, BPS and BPA have both endocrine disrupting properties. Their effects appear mostly in adulthood following perinatal exposures. The objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of perinatal and chronic exposure to BPS at the low dose of 1.5 μg/kg body weight/day on the transcriptome and methylome of the liver in 23 weeks-old C57BL6/J male mice. Results This multi-omic study highlights a major impact of BPS on gene expression (374 significant deregulated genes) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis show an enrichment focused on several biological pathways related to metabolic liver regulation. BPS exposure also induces a hypomethylation in 58.5% of the differentially methylated regions (DMR). Systematic connections were not found between gene expression and methylation profile excepted for 18 genes, including 4 genes involved in lipid metabolism pathways (Fasn, Hmgcr, Elovl6, Lpin1), which were downregulated and featured differentially methylated CpGs in their exons or introns. Conclusions This descriptive study shows an impact of BPS on biological pathways mainly related to an integrative disruption of metabolism (energy metabolism, detoxification, protein and steroid metabolism) and, like most high-throughput studies, contributes to the identification of potential exposure biomarkers.

Chicoric Acid Ameliorates Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease via the AMPK/Nrf2/NF κB Signaling Pathway and Restores Gut Microbiota in High-Fat-Diet-Fed Mice. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:9734560.

Abstract
This study examines the effects of chicoric acid (CA) on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in high-fat-diet- (HFD-) fed C57BL/6 mice. CA treatment decreased body weight and white adipose weight, mitigated hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, and reduced hepatic steatosis in HFD-fed mice. Moreover, CA treatment reversed HFD-induced oxidative stress and inflammation both systemically and locally in the liver, evidenced by the decreased serum malondialdehyde (MDA) abundance, increased serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, lowered in situ reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the liver, decreased serum and hepatic inflammatory cytokine levels, and reduced hepatic inflammatory cell infiltration in HFD-fed mice. In addition, CA significantly reduced lipid accumulation and oxidative stress in palmitic acid- (PA-) treated HepG2 cells. In particular, we identified AMPK as an activator of Nrf2 and an inactivator of NFκB. CA upregulated AMPK phosphorylation, the nuclear protein level of Nrf2, and downregulated NFκB protein level both in HFD mice and PA-treated HepG2 cells. Notably, AMPK inhibitor compound C blocked the regulation of Nrf2 and NFκB, as well as ROS overproduction mediated by CA in PA-treated HepG2 cells, while AMPK activator AICAR mimicked the effects of CA. Similarly, Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 partly blocked the regulation of antioxidative genes and ROS overproduction by CA in PA-treated HepG2 cells. Interestingly, high-throughput pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA suggested that CA could increase Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes ratio and modify gut microbial composition towards a healthier microbial profile. In summary, CA plays a preventative role in the amelioration of oxidative stress and inflammation via the AMPK/Nrf2/NFκB signaling pathway and shapes gut microbiota in HFD-induced NAFLD.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an organic synthetic compound serving as a monomer to produce polycarbonate plastic, widely used in the packaging for food and drinks, medical devices, thermal paper, and dental materials. BPA can contaminate food, beverage, air, and soil. It accumulates in several human tissues and organs and is potentially harmful to human health through different molecular mechanisms. Due to its hormone-like properties, BPA may bind to estrogen receptors, thereby affecting both body weight and tumorigenesis. BPA may also affect metabolism and cancer progression, by interacting with GPR30, and may impair male reproductive function, by binding to androgen receptors. Several transcription factors, including PPARγ, C/EBP, Nrf2, HOX, and HAND2, are involved in BPA action on fat and liver homeostasis, the cardiovascular system, and cancer. Finally, epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation, histones modification, and changes in microRNAs expression contribute to BPA pathological effects. This review aims to provide an extensive and comprehensive analysis of the most recent evidence about the potential mechanisms by which BPA affects human health.

Toxicol In Vitro 2020; 68:104959. [PMID: 32763284 DOI: 10.1016/j.tiv.2020.104959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2020] [Revised: 08/01/2020] [Accepted: 08/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) has a variety of adverse effects on human health; therefore, BPA analogs are increasingly used as replacements. Notably, recent studies have revealed that BPA exposure induced hepatic lipid accumulation, but few studies are available regarding the similar effects of other bisphenol analogues (BPs). Thus, in the present study, a high-content screening (HCS) assay was performed to simultaneously evaluate the hepatic lipid accumulation of 13 BPs in vitro. The BPs induced lipid deposition in HepG2 cells ranking as below: 4,4'-thiodiphenol (TDP) < bisphenol S (BPS) < 4,4'-dihydroxybenzophenone (DHBP) < tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) < tetrachlorobisphenol A (TCBPA) < bisphenol E (BPE) < bisphenol F (BPF) < bisphenol B (BPB) < bisphenol AF (BPAF) < bisphenol A (BPA) < bisphenol C (BPC) < tetramethylbisphenol A (TMBPA) < bisphenol AP (BPAP). Meanwhile, Oil Red O staining and triacylglycerol detection further validated the lipid accumulation elicited by the latter 8 BPs, which exhibited the more significant effects on lipid deposition. Mechanistically, significantly increased expressions of genes involved in fatty acid synthesis and nuclear receptors and decreased levels of genes associated with fatty acid β-oxidation were observed under BPs treatment. Therefore, the present work is the first to systematically provide direct evidence for BPs-induced hepatic lipid accumulation in vitro via HCS, which can be helpful for safety assessments of BPs.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), as a common industrial component, is generally consumed in the synthesis of polymeric materials. To gain a deeper understanding of the detrimental effects of BPA, BPA-induced microRNA (miRNA) alterations were investigated. A systematic search was performed in the PubMed, SCOPUS and Web of Science databases to evoke relevant published data up to August 10, 2019. We identified altered miRNAs that have been repeated in at least three studies. Moreover, miRNA homology analysis between human and nonhuman species was performed to determine the toxicity signatures of BPA in human exposure. In addition, to reflect the effects of environmental exposure levels of BPA, the study designs were categorized into two groups, including low and high doses according to the previous definitions. In total, 28 studies encountered our criteria and 17 miRNAs were identified that were differentially expressed in at least three independent studies. Upregulating miR-146a and downregulating miR-192, miR-134, miR-27b and miR-324 were found in three studies. MiR-122 and miR-29a were upregulated in four studies after BPA exposure, and miR-21 was upregulated in six studies. The results indicate that BPA at low-level exposures can also alter miRNA expression in response to toxicity. Finally, the miRNA-related pathways showed that BPA seriously can affect human health through various cell signaling pathways, which were predictable and consistent with existing studies. Overall, our findings suggest that further studies should be conducted to examine the role of miRNA level changes in human BPA exposure.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is a common feature of many metabolic disorders. The dramatic rise in the incidence of insulin resistance over the past decade has enhanced focus on its developmental origins. Since various developmental insults ranging from maternal disease, stress, over/undernutrition, and exposure to environmental chemicals can all program the development of insulin resistance, common mechanisms may be involved. This review discusses the possibility that increases in maternal androgens associated with these various insults are key mediators in programming insulin resistance. Additionally, the intermediaries through which androgens misprogram tissue insulin sensitivity, such as changes in inflammatory, oxidative, and lipotoxic states, epigenetic, gut microbiome and insulin, as well as data gaps to be filled are also discussed.

Abstract
Our early-life environment has a profound influence on developing organs that impacts metabolic function and determines disease susceptibility across the life-course. Using a rat model for exposure to an endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC), we show that early-life chemical exposure causes metabolic dysfunction in adulthood and reprograms histone marks in the developing liver to accelerate acquisition of an adult epigenomic signature. This epigenomic reprogramming persists long after the initial exposure, but many reprogrammed genes remain transcriptionally silent with their impact on metabolism not revealed until a later life exposure to a Western-style diet. Diet-dependent metabolic disruption was largely driven by reprogramming of the Early Growth Response 1 (EGR1) transcriptome and production of metabolites in pathways linked to cholesterol, lipid and one-carbon metabolism. These findings demonstrate the importance of epigenome:environment interactions, which early in life accelerate epigenomic aging, and later in adulthood unlock metabolically restricted epigenetic reprogramming to drive metabolic dysfunction. Early life exposure to environmental stressors, including endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), can impact health later in life. Here, the authors show that neonatal EDC exposure in rats causes epigenetic reprogramming in the liver, which is transcriptionally silent until animals are placed on a Western-style diet.

Abstract
The advent of new technologies has paved the rise of various chemicals that are being employed in industrial as well as consumer products. This leads to the accumulation of these xenobiotic compounds in the environment where they pose a serious threat to both target and non-target species. miRNAs are one of the key epigenetic mechanisms that have been associated with toxicity by modulating the gene expression post-transcriptionally. Here, we provide a comprehensive view on miRNA biogenesis, their mechanism of action and, their possible role in xenobiotic toxicity. Further, we review the recent in vitro and in vivo studies involved in xenobiotic exposure induced miRNA alterations and the mRNA-miRNA interactions. Finally, we address the challenges associated with the miRNAs in toxicological studies.
