ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 252:119034. [PMID: 38701888 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
Cumulative human exposure to the environmental toxin, bisphenol A (BPA), has raised important health concerns in recent decades. However, the direct genomic regulation of BPA in skeletal muscles and its clinical significance are poorly understood. Therefore, we conducted a genome-wide transcriptome analysis after daily oral administration of BPA at the lowest observed adverse-effect level (LOAEL, 50 mg/kg) in male mice for six weeks to explore the gene-expression regulations in skeletal muscle induced by BPA. The primary Gene Ontology terms linked to BPA-dependent, differentially expressed genes at LOAEL comprised adaptive-immune response, positive regulation of T cell activation, and immune system process. The gene-set enrichment analysis disclosed increased complement-associated genes [complement components 3 (C3) and 4B, complement factor D, complement receptor 2, and immunoglobulin lambda constant 2] in the group administered with BPA, with a false-discovery rate of <0.05. Subsequent validation analysis conducted in BPA-fed animal skeletal muscle tissue and in vitro experiments confirmed that BPA induced immune activation, as evidenced by increased levels of C3 and C4α proteins in mice, C2C12 myoblasts, and mouse skeletal muscle cells. In addition, BPA markedly upregulated the transcription of tumor necrosis factor-α (Tnfα) in C2C12 myoblasts and mouse skeletal muscle cells, which was substantially inhibited by 5z-7-oxozeanol and parthenolide, providing further evidence of BPA-induced inflammation in muscle cells. Our bioinformatics and subsequent animal and in vitro validations demonstrate that BPA can activate inflammation in skeletal muscle, which could be a risk factor underlying chronic muscle weakness and wastage.

Zhang J, Song J, Liu S, Zhang Y, Qiu T, Jiang L, Bai J, Yao X, Wang N, Yang G, Sun X. m 6A methylation-mediated PGC-1α contributes to ferroptosis via regulating GSTK1 in arsenic-induced hepatic insulin resistance. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 905:167202. [PMID: 37730054 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167202] [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: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023]
Abstract
Arsenic exposure has been closely linked to hepatic insulin resistance (IR) and ferroptosis with the mechanism elusive. Peroxisome proliferator γ-activated receptor coactivator 1-α (PGC-1α) is essential for glucose metabolism as well as for the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, it was unclear whether there is a regulatory connection between PGC-1α and ferroptosis. Besides, the definitive mechanism of arsenic-induced hepatic IR progression remains to be determined. Here, we found that hepatic insulin sensitivity impaired by sodium arsenite (NaAsO2) could be reversed by inhibiting ferroptosis. Mechanistically, we found that PGC-1α suppression inhibited the protein expression of glutathione s-transferase kappa 1 (GSTK1) via nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1), thereby increasing ROS accumulation and promoting ferroptosis. Furthermore, we showed that NaAsO2 induced hepatic IR and ferroptosis via methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) and YTH domain-containing family protein 2 (YTHDF2)-mediated N6-methyladenosine (m6A) of PGC-1α mRNA. In conclusion, NaAsO2-mediated PGC-1α suppression was m6A methylation-dependent and induced ferroptosis via the PGC-1α/NRF1/GSTK1 pathway in hepatic IR. The data might provide insight into potential targets for diabetes prevention and treatment.

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
The association between Insulin resistance, a global health issue, and endocrine disruptors (EDCs), chemicals interfering with the endocrine system, has sparked concern in the scientific community. This article provides a comprehensive review of the existing literature regarding the intricate relationship between EDCs and insulin resistance. Phthalates, commonly found in consumer products, are well-established EDCs with documented effects on insulin-signaling pathways and metabolic processes. Epidemiological studies have connected phthalate exposure to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), persistent synthetic compounds, have shown inconsistent associations with T2DM in epidemiological research. However, studies suggest that PFAS may influence insulin resistance and overall metabolic health, with varying effects depending on specific PFAS molecules and study populations. Bisphenol A (BPA), found in plastics and resins, has emerged as a concern for glucose regulation and insulin resistance. Research has linked BPA exposure to T2DM, altered insulin release, obesity, and changes in the mass and function of insulin-secreting β-cells. Triclosan, an antibacterial agent in personal care products, exhibits gender-specific associations with T2DM risk. It may impact gut microbiota, thyroid hormones, obesity, and inflammation, raising concerns about its effects on metabolic health. Furthermore, environmental EDCs like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, and heavy metals have demonstrated associations with T2DM, insulin resistance, hypertension, and obesity. Occupational exposure to specific pesticides and heavy metals has been linked to metabolic abnormalities.

Abstract
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the leading known monogenetic cause of autism with an estimated 21-50% of FXS individuals meeting autism diagnostic criteria. A critical gap in medical care for persons with autism is an understanding of how environmental exposures and gene-environment interactions affect disease outcomes. Our research indicates more severe neurological and metabolic outcomes (seizures, autism, increased body weight) in mouse and human models of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) as a function of diet. Thus, early-life exposure to chemicals in the diet could cause or exacerbate disease outcomes. Herein, we review the effects of potential dietary toxins, i.e., soy phytoestrogens, glyphosate, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) in FXS and other autism models. The rationale is that potentially toxic chemicals in the diet, particularly infant formula, could contribute to the development and/or severity of ASD and that further study in this area has potential to improve ASD outcomes through dietary modification.

Abstract
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) widely exist in people's production and life which have great potential to damage human and animal health. Over the past few decades, growing attention has been paid to the impact of EDCs on human health, as well as immune system. So far, researchers have proved that EDCs (such as bisphenol A (BPA), phthalate, tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD), etc.) affect human immune function and promotes the occurrence and development of autoimmune diseases (ADs). Therefore, in order to better understand how EDCs affect ADs, we summarized the current knowledge about the impact of EDCs on ADs, and elaborated the potential mechanism of the impact of EDCs on ADs in this review.

Abstract
The number of people diagnosed with diabetes continues to increase, especially among younger populations. Apart from genetic predisposition and lifestyle, there is increasing scientific and public concern that environmental agents may also contribute to diabetes. Food contamination by chemical substances that originate from packaging materials, or are the result of chemical reactions during food processing, is generally recognized as a worldwide problem with potential health hazards. Phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA) and acrylamide (AA) have been the focus of attention in recent years, due to the numerous adverse health effects associated with their exposure. This paper summarizes the available data about the association between phthalates, BPA and AA exposure and diabetes. Although their mechanism of action has not been fully clarified, in vitro, in vivo and epidemiological studies have made significant progress toward identifying the potential roles of phthalates, BPA and AA in diabetes development and progression. These chemicals interfere with multiple signaling pathways involved in glucose and lipid homeostasis and can aggravate the symptoms of diabetes. Especially concerning are the effects of exposure during early stages and the gestational period. Well-designed prospective studies are needed in order to better establish prevention strategies against the harmful effects of these food contaminants.

Abstract
Plastic pollution breaks a planetary boundary threatening wildlife and humans through its physical and chemical effects. Of the latter, the release of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has consequences on the prevalence of human diseases related to the endocrine system. Bisphenols (BPs) and phthalates are two groups of EDCs commonly found in plastics that migrate into the environment and make low-dose human exposure ubiquitous. Here we review epidemiological, animal, and cellular studies linking exposure to BPs and phthalates to altered glucose regulation, with emphasis on the role of pancreatic β-cells. Epidemiological studies indicate that exposure to BPs and phthalates is associated with diabetes mellitus. Studies in animal models indicate that treatment with doses within the range of human exposure decreases insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, induces dyslipidemia, and modifies functional β-cell mass and serum levels of insulin, leptin, and adiponectin. These studies reveal that disruption of β-cell physiology by EDCs plays a key role in impairing glucose homeostasis by altering the mechanisms used by β-cells to adapt to metabolic stress such as chronic nutrient excess. Studies at the cellular level demonstrate that BPs and phthalates modify the same biochemical pathways involved in adaptation to chronic excess fuel. These include changes in insulin biosynthesis and secretion, electrical activity, expression of key genes, and mitochondrial function. The data summarized here indicate that BPs and phthalates are important risk factors for diabetes mellitus and support a global effort to decrease plastic pollution and human exposure to EDCs.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used synthetic industrial compound frequently detected in food. Dietary exposure to BPA has been recognised as a potential health concern. However, there are uncertainties regarding BPA toxicity. The primary objective of this study was to summarise and analyse multiple toxicity endpoints of adverse reproductive effects caused by BPA exposure in rodent models. Therefore, a multilevel meta-analysis and subsequent dose-response analysis were conducted. Relevant articles published in English between 2012 and 2021 were collected from online databases, viz. Scopus, EmBase, Web of Science, and PubMed. In total, 41 studies were included for statistical analysis. All statistical analyses were performed using open-source RStudio packages. Summary effects indicated the statistical significance of BPA exposure on decreased sperm concentration (Hedges' g: -1.35) and motility (Hedges' g: -1.12) on average, while no significant effects were observed on the absolute and relative weight of male and female reproductive organs. The lowest mean toxicological reference dose values of 0.0011 mg (kg bw)-1 day-1 was proposed for BPA exposure on sperm concentration from the dose-response model. In conclusion, potential health risks from BPA exposure were shown with regards to reproductive toxicity, especially that sperm concentration and sperm motility require further attention.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 314:137691. [PMID: 36592828 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.137691] [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: 09/21/2022] [Revised: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Since the use of bisphenol A (BPA) has been restricted because of its endocrine disruptor properties, bisphenol S (BPS) has been widely used as a substitute of BPA. However, BPS exerts similar effects on metabolic health as BPA. The effects of maternal exposure to BPA and BPS on the metabolic health of offspring have been largely documented during the past decade. However, the impact of preconceptional paternal exposure to BPS on progenies remains unexplored. In this study we investigated the impact of paternal exposure to BPS before conception, on the metabolic phenotype of offspring. Male Wistar rats were administered BPS through drinking water at the dose of 4 μg/kg/day (BPS-4 sires) or 40 μg/kg/day (BPS-40 sires) for 2 months before mating with females. The progenies (F1) were studied at fetal stage and in adulthood. We showed that preconceptional paternal exposure to BPS for 2 months did not alter the metabolic status of sires. The female offspring of sires exposed to lower or higher doses of BPS showed no alteration of their metabolic phenotype compared to females from control sires. In contrast, male offspring of BPS-4 sires exhibited increased body weight and body fat/lean ratio, decreased insulin sensitivity and increased glucose-induced insulin secretion at adult age, compared to the male offspring of control sires. Moreover, male offspring of BPS-4 sires developed glucose intolerance later in life. None of these effects were apparent in male offspring of BPS-40 sires. In conclusion, our study provides the first evidence of the non-monotonic and sex-specific effects of preconceptional paternal exposure to BPS on the metabolic health of offspring, suggesting that BPS is not a safe BPA substitute regarding the inter-generational transmission of metabolic disorders through the paternal lineage.

Abstract
A growing number of epidemiologic studies have estimated the associations between endocrine-disrupting chemicals and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, reports on the association between bisphenol A (BPA) substitutes and GDM are limited. This investigation aimed to explore the associations of maternal serum BPA, bisphenol B (BPB), bisphenol F (BPF), bisphenol S (BPS), and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) with the risk of GDM. A nested case-control study was performed among 500 pregnant women. In conditional logistic regression models, the OR for BPS was significantly increased in the medium exposure groups (OR = 1.77; 95% CI: 1.01, 3.13) compared with the reference group, while BPA (OR: 0.38, 95%CI: 0.29, 0.50) and TBBPA (OR: 0.67, 95%CI: 0.54, 0.85) were negatively associated with the risk of GDM. In the Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) analysis, the joint effect of bisphenols was positively associated with the risk of GDM. BPS showed positively relationship, while BPA and TBBPA showed negatively relationship, respectively. The quantile g-computation revealed a statistically significant and negative joint effect of the five bisphenols on the risk of GDM (OR: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.46, 0.72) with BPA (70.2%), TBBPA (21.3%), and BPB (8.5%) had positive contribution to the overall effect. These findings suggested that BPS had a positive effect on the risk of GDM, while BPA and TBBPA had negative effect on the risk of GDM. Moreover, exposure to the mixture of the five bisphenols was negatively associated with the risk of GDM.

The effects of prenatal bisphenol A exposure on brain volume of children and young mice. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 214:114040. [PMID: 35952745 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114040] [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: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic chemical used for the manufacturing of plastics, epoxy resin, and many personal care products. This ubiquitous endocrine disruptor is detectable in the urine of over 80% of North Americans. Although adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes have been observed in children with high gestational exposure to BPA, the effects of prenatal BPA on brain structure remain unclear. Here, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we studied the associations of maternal BPA exposure with children's brain structure, as well as the impact of comparable BPA levels in a mouse model. Our human data showed that most maternal BPA exposure effects on brain volumes were small, with the largest effects observed in the opercular region of the inferior frontal gyrus (ρ = -0.2754), superior occipital gyrus (ρ = -0.2556), and postcentral gyrus (ρ = 0.2384). In mice, gestational exposure to an equivalent level of BPA (2.25 μg BPA/kg bw/day) induced structural alterations in brain regions including the superior olivary complex (SOC) and bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BNST) with larger effect sizes (1.07≤ Cohens d ≤ 1.53). Human (n = 87) and rodent (n = 8 each group) sample sizes, while small, are considered adequate to perform the primary endpoint analysis. Combined, these human and mouse data suggest that gestational exposure to low levels of BPA may have some impacts on the developing brain at the resolution of MRI.

Prenatal exposure to a low dose of BPS causes sex-dependent alterations to vascular endothelial function in adult offspring. FRONTIERS IN TOXICOLOGY 2022; 4:933572. [PMID: 36310694 PMCID: PMC9606655 DOI: 10.3389/ftox.2022.933572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Bisphenol S (BPS) is among the most commonly used substitutes for Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disrupting chemical used as a plasticizer in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Bisphenols interfere with estrogen receptor (ER) signaling, which modulates vascular function through stimulation of nitric oxide (NO) production via endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). BPS can cross into the placenta and accumulates in the fetal compartment to a greater extent than BPA, potentially interfering with key developmental events. Little is known regarding the developmental impact of exposure to BPA substitutes, particularly with respect to the vasculature. Objective: To determine if prenatal BPS exposure influences vascular health in adulthood. Methods: At the time of mating, female C57BL/6 dams were administered BPS (250 nM) or vehicle control in the drinking water, and exposure continued during lactation. At 12-week of age, mesenteric arteries were excised from male and female offspring and assessed for responses to an endothelium-dependent (acetylcholine, ACh) and endothelium-independent (sodium nitroprusside, SNP) vasodilator. Endothelium-dependent dilation was measured in the presence or absence of L-NAME, an eNOS inhibitor. To further explore the role of NO and ER signaling, wire myography was used to assess ACh responses in aortic rings after acute exposure to BPS in the presence or absence of L-NAME or an ER antagonist. Results: Increased ACh dilation and increased sensitivity to Phe were observed in microvessels from BPS-exposed females, while no changes were observed in male offspring. Differences in ACh-induced dilation between control or BPS-exposed females were eliminated with L-NAME. Increased dilatory responses to ACh after acute BPS exposure were observed in aortic rings from female mice only, and differences were eliminated with inhibition of eNOS or inhibition of ER. Conclusion: Prenatal BPS exposure leads to persistent changes in endothelium-dependent vascular function in a sex-specific manner that appears to be modulated by interaction of BPS with ER signaling.

Fetal Myocardial Expression of GLUT1: Roles of BPA Exposure and Cord Blood Exosomes in a Rat Model. Cells 2022; 11:cells11203195.

Abstract
Dietary exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA), an industrial chemical present in food containers, affects nutrient metabolism in the myocardium of offspring during intrauterine life. Using a murine model, we observed that fetal hearts from mothers exposed to BPA (2.5 μg/kg/day) for 20 days before mating and for all of the gestation had decreased expression of glucose transporter-1 (GLUT1), the principal sugar transporter in the fetal heart, and increased expression of fatty acid cluster of differentiation 36 transporter (CD36), compared to control fetuses from vehicle-treated mothers. We confirmed the suppression of GLUT1 by exposing fetal heart organotypic cultures to BPA (1 nM) for 48 h but did not detect changes in CD36 compared to controls. During pregnancy, the placenta continuously releases extracellular vesicles such as exosomes into fetal circulation. These vesicles influence the growth and development of fetal organs. When fetal heart cultures were treated with cord blood-derived exosomes isolated from BPA-fed animals, GLUT1 expression was increased by approximately 40%. Based on our results, we speculate that exosomes from cord blood, in particular placenta-derived nanovesicles, could contribute to the stabilization of the fetal heart metabolism by ameliorating the harmful effects of BPA on GLUT1 expression.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Non-pharmacological exposure or pharmacological drug-induced hepatic injury is the most common cause of hepatotoxicity. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf extract against bisphenol-A (BPA)-induced hepatic toxicity in rats.
Methods
Rats (n=56) were randomized into 7 groups (8 rats/each). Control groups: rats received olive oil or Moringa oleifera (400mg/kg) orally for 42 days. Hepatotoxicity groups: rats received BPA (50mg/kg BW) orally in a 1-ml olive oil for 42 days. Reversal groups: rats received Moringa oleifera (200 or 400mg/kg) and BPA (50mg/kg BW) for 42 days. Preventive groups: rats received Moringa oleifera (200 or 400mg/kg) for 30 days followed by BPA (50mg/kg BW) for 14 days. At the end of the experiments, blood samples were collected for glucose and liver function assay, while the liver tissue samples were collected and homogenated for measuring the inflammatory/oxidant and antioxidant markers.
Results
Rats with BPA-induced hepatotoxicity have significantly increased serum aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and glucose; liver lysate malondialdehyde (MDA); tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α); and macrophage migrating inhibitory factor (MIF) but significantly decreased levels of liver lysate reduced glutathione (GSH) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels. The administration of Moringa oleifera (especially 400mg/kg BW) in both reversal and preventive groups ameliorate the toxic effects of BPA in rats, as it decreased the activities of AST, ALT, glucose, MDA, TNF-α, and MIF levels and increased the antioxidant levels of GSH and TAC.
Conclusion
Moringa oleifera has hepatoprotective effects against BPA-induced liver damage through the regulation of antioxidants and inflammatory biomarkers.

Abstract
Bisphenol S (BPS) has been introduced into the industry as a safer alternative to bisphenol A (BPA). However, the recent studies have reported a possible association between BPS and disturbed glucose homeostasis, indicating that it may be a risk factor for type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and gestational diabetes mellitus. Nevertheless, the role of BPS in glucose metabolism remains controversial. In this study, we investigated the glucose metabolism of male Wistar rats born from dams that were BPS-exposed (groups: BPS-L (0.05 mg/kg/day), BPS-H (20 mg/kg/day)) during pregnancy and lactation. We observed that both BPS treated groups of animals presented a significant decrease in anogenital distance/weight1/3 , as compared to control animals, although no alterations in testosterone levels were observed. Furthermore, the BPS-L group presented a significant decrease in body weight from postnatal day (PND) 21 to adult stage. In addition, a significant increase in glucose tolerance, pancreatic β-cell proliferation, the frequency of small islets, and the average β-cell size at PND 36 was observed in this group. However, no changes in insulin serum levels and percentage of β-cells were recorded. Furthermore, these changes were not preserved at the adult stage (PND 120). The results suggest that the administration of low doses of BPS during the perinatal period induced an estrogenic like effect, with males apparently becoming more female-like in their responses to a glucose challenge.

Abstract
Obesogens are synthetic, environmental chemicals that can disrupt endocrine control of metabolism and contribute to the risk of obesity and metabolic disease. Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most studied obesogens. There is considerable evidence that BPA exposure is associated with weight gain, increased adiposity, poor blood glucose control, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in animal models and human populations. Increased usage of structural analogs of BPA has occurred in response to legislation banning their use in some commercial products. However, BPA analogs may also cause some of the same metabolic impairments because of common mechanisms of action. One key effector that is altered by BPA and its analogs is serotonin, however, it is unknown if BPA-induced changes in peripheral serotonin pathways underlie metabolic perturbations seen with BPA exposure. Upon ingestion, BPA and its analogs act as endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the gastrointestinal tract to influence serotonin production by the gut, where over 95% of serotonin is produced. The purpose of this review is to evaluate how BPA and its analogs alter gut serotonin regulation and then discuss how disruption of serotonergic networks influences host metabolism. We also provide evidence that BPA and its analogs enhance serotonin production in gut enterochromaffin cells. Taken together, we propose that BPA and many BPA analogs represent endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can influence host metabolism through the endogenous production of gut-derived factors, such as serotonin.

Are BPA Substitutes as Obesogenic as BPA? Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23084238. [PMID: 35457054 PMCID: PMC9031831 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23084238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Revised: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 04/05/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Metabolic diseases, such as obesity, Type II diabetes and hepatic steatosis, are a significant public health concern affecting more than half a billion people worldwide. The prevalence of these diseases is constantly increasing in developed countries, affecting all age groups. The pathogenesis of metabolic diseases is complex and multifactorial. Inducer factors can either be genetic or linked to a sedentary lifestyle and/or consumption of high-fat and sugar diets. In 2002, a new concept of “environmental obesogens” emerged, suggesting that environmental chemicals could play an active role in the etiology of obesity. Bisphenol A (BPA), a xenoestrogen widely used in the plastic food packaging industry has been shown to affect many physiological functions and has been linked to reproductive, endocrine and metabolic disorders and cancer. Therefore, the widespread use of BPA during the last 30 years could have contributed to the increased incidence of metabolic diseases. BPA was banned in baby bottles in Canada in 2008 and in all food-oriented packaging in France from 1 January 2015. Since the BPA ban, substitutes with a similar structure and properties have been used by industrials even though their toxic potential is unknown. Bisphenol S has mainly replaced BPA in consumer products as reflected by the almost ubiquitous human exposure to this contaminant. This review focuses on the metabolic effects and targets of BPA and recent data, which suggest comparable effects of the structural analogs used as substitutes.

Abstract
Current evidence suggests that intrauterine bisphenol A (BPA) exposure increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases in later stages of life. The beneficial effect of resveratrol (Rsv) on developmental programming of atherosclerosis lesions formation in offspring is seldom reported. Hence, we sought to study the effect of maternal Rsv in ameliorating perinatal BPA exposure-induced atherosclerosis lesions formation in adult offspring using the apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice model. The pregnant ApoE-/- mice were allocated into three groups: control, BPA, BPA + resveratrol (BPA + Rsv). The BPA group mice received BPA in their drinking water (1 μg/ml). BPA + Rsv group mice received BPA in their drinking water (1 μg/ml) and were treated orally with Rsv (20 mg kg-1 day-1). All the treatments were continued throughout the gestation and lactation period. Quantitative analysis of Sudan IV-stained aorta revealed a significantly increased area of atherosclerotic lesions in both female (p < 0.01) and male adult offspring mice (p < 0.01) in the BPA group. Supplementation with Rsv significantly reduced the BPA-induced atherosclerotic lesion development in the female offspring mice (p < 0.05). Transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of a significantly high incidence of autophagic endothelial, smooth muscle, and macrophage cells in the aorta of BPA-exposed mice. Rsv treatment reduced the incidence of autophagic cells in BPA-exposed mice. In conclusion, maternal Rsv supplementation significantly prevents the BPA-induced atherosclerotic lesions formation in a sex-dependent manner potentially by acting as an autophagy modulator.

Protracted Impairment of Maternal Metabolic Health in Mouse Dams Following Pregnancy Exposure to a Mixture of Low Dose Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals, a Pilot Study. TOXICS 2021; 9:346. [PMID: 34941779 PMCID: PMC8706199 DOI: 10.3390/toxics9120346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2021] [Revised: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 12/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Pregnancy, a period of increased metabolic demands coordinated by fluctuating steroid hormones, is an understudied critical window of disease susceptibility for later-life maternal metabolic health. Epidemiological studies have identified associations between exposures to various endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) with an increased risk for metabolic syndrome, obesity, and diabetes. Whether such adverse outcomes would be heightened by concurrent exposures to multiple EDCs during pregnancy, consistent with the reality that human exposures are to EDC mixtures, was examined in the current pilot study. Mouse dams were orally exposed to relatively low doses of four EDCs: (atrazine (10 mg/kg), bisphenol-A (50 µg/kg), perfluorooctanoic acid (0.1 mg/kg), 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (0.036 µg/kg)), or the combination (MIX), from gestational day 7 until birth or for an equivalent 12 days in non-pregnant females. Glucose intolerance, serum lipids, weight, and visceral adiposity were assessed six months later. MIX-exposed dams exhibited hyperglycemia with a persistent elevation in blood glucose two hours after glucose administration in a glucose tolerance test, whereas no such effects were observed in MIX-exposed non-pregnant females. Correspondingly, MIX dams showed elevated serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL). There were no statistically significant differences in weight or visceral adipose; MIX dams showed an average visceral adipose volume to body volume ratio of 0.09, while the vehicle dams had an average ratio of 0.07. Collectively, these findings provide biological plausibility for the epidemiological associations observed between EDC exposures during pregnancy and subsequent maternal metabolic dyshomeostasis, and proof of concept data that highlight the importance of considering complex EDC mixtures based of off common health outcomes, e.g., for increased risk for later-life maternal metabolic effects following pregnancy.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) and genistein (GEN) are selective estrogen receptor modulators, which are involved in the occurrence and development of metabolic syndrome. However, their roles in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) of laying hens have not been reported. Here, we investigated the effects of different concentrations of GEN and BPA on the NAFLD of laying hens. Results showed that GEN ameliorated the high-energy and low-protein diet (HELP)-induced NAFLD by improving pathological damage, hepatic steatosis, and insulin resistance and blocking the expression of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-related factors. By contrast, high dose of BPA could aggravate these changes with serious symptom of NAFLD and suppress the level of ERα in the liver considerably, while GEN could reverse this phenomenon in a dose-dependent manner. In general, our research shows that the protective effect of GEN on NAFLD aims to improve the metabolic disorders and inflammation closely connected to ERα, while BPA can inhibit the expression of ERα and exacerbate the symptom of NAFLD. In conclusion, we elucidate the opposing effects of GEN and BPA in NAFLD of laying hens, thus providing a potential mechanism related to ERα and inflammation.

Potential role of green tea extract and epigallocatechin gallate in preventing bisphenol A-induced metabolic disorders in rats: Biochemical and molecular evidence. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 92:153754.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphenol A (BPA) is an artificial chemical widely used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Accumulating evidence indicates that BPA exposure is associated with metabolic disorders. The beneficial effects of green tea and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), major catechin present in green tea, on alleviating BPA-induced metabolic disorders have been shown in various studies. PURPOSE Protective effects of green tea extract and EGCG on BPA-induced metabolic disorders and possible underlying mechanisms were investigated. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into control, green tea extract (50 and 100 mg/kg, IP), EGCG (20 and 40 mg/kg, IP), BPA (10 mg/kg, gavage), BPA plus green tea extract (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg, IP), BPA plus EGCG (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg, IP), and BPA plus vitamin E (200 IU/kg, IP). After two months, body weight, blood pressure, biochemical blood tests, hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA), and glutathione (GSH) were assessed. By enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, serum levels of insulin, leptin, adiponectin, TNFα, and IL-6, and by western blotting, hepatic insulin signaling (IRS-1, PI3K, Akt) were measured. RESULTS BPA increased body weight, blood pressure, and MDA, decreased GSH, elevated serum levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, insulin, leptin, TNFα, IL-6, and liver enzymes including alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase, and lowered high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and adiponectin levels. In western blot, decreased phosphorylation of IRS-1, PI3K, and Akt was obtained. Administration of green tea extract, EGCG, or vitamin E with BPA reduced the detrimental effects of BPA. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that green tea extract and EGCG can be effective in preventing or reducing metabolic disorders induced by BPA linked to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, regulating the metabolism of lipids, and improving insulin signaling pathways.

Abstract
Introduction: Scientific data suggest that early exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) affect -repro, -neuro, -metabolic systems, to which are added other notions such as mixtures, window and duration of exposure, trans-generational effects, and epigenetic mechanisms. Methods: In the present narrative review, we studied the relationship between exposure to EDCs with the appearance and development of obesity. Results: Exposure to EDCs like Bisphenol A during the early stages of development has been shown to lead to weight gain and obesity. EDCs can interfere with endocrine signaling, affect adipocytes differentiation and endocrine function and disrupt metabolic processes, especially if exposure occurs at very low doses, in the mixture, during early development stages for several generations. Conclusion: Exposure to EDCs is positively associated with obesity development. Moreover, the use of integrative approaches which mimicking environmental conditions are necessary and recommended to evaluate EDCs' effects in future studies.

Abstract
Bisphenols are endocrine disrupting chemicals to which humans are ubiquitously exposed to. Prenatal bisphenol A exposure can lead to insulin resistance. However, the metabolic effects of other emerging bisphenols, such as bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol F (BPF), are less understood. Because the skeletal muscle is the largest of the insulin target tissues, the goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of 2 emerging bisphenols (BPS and BPF) on cytotoxicity, proliferation, myogenic differentiation, and insulin responsiveness in skeletal muscle cells. We tested this using a dose-response approach in C2C12 mouse and L6 rat myoblast cell lines. The results showed that C2C12 mouse myoblasts were more susceptible to bisphenols compared with L6 rat myoblasts. In both cell lines, bisphenol A was more cytotoxic, followed by BPF and BPS. C2C12 myoblast proliferation was higher upon BPF exposure at the 10-4 M dose and the fusion index was increased after exposure to either BPF or BPS at doses over 10-10 M. Exposure to BPS and BPF also reduced baseline expression of p-AKT (Thr) and p-GSK-3β, but not downstream effectors such as mTOR and glucose transporter-4. In conclusion, at noncytotoxic doses, BPS and BPF can alter myoblast cell proliferation, differentiation, and partially modulate early effectors of the insulin receptor signaling pathway. However, BPS or BPF short-term exposure evaluated here does not result in impaired insulin responsiveness.

Abstract
Bisphenol A is a compound commonly found in products meant for daily use. It was one of the first compounds to be identified as an endocrine disruptor that was capable of disrupting the endocrine system and producing very similar effects to those of metabolic syndrome. It has recently gained popularity in the scientific arena as a risk factor for obesity and diabetes due to its ability to imitate natural oestrogens and bind to their receptors. The aim was to study the possible relationship between the Bisphenol A endocrine disruptor with diabetes and obesity. The analysis of the articles allows us to conclude that Bisphenol A is an additional risk factor to consider in the development of diabetes and obesity, since it is capable of stimulating the hypertrophy of adipocytes and altering the endocrine system by mimicking the effects of the oestrogen molecule, since epidemiological studies carried out have suggested that the same disruptions seen in experimental studies on animals can be found in humans; however, despite many countries having developed policies to limit exposure to this disruptor in their populations, there is a lack of international agreement. Understanding its relationship with obesity and diabetes will help to raise awareness in the population and adopt public health campaigns to prevent exposure-especially among young people-to these substances.

Abstract
As the most widely consumed endocrine-disrupting chemical, bisphenol A (BPA) has been linked to reproductive dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. However, the evidence for an association between BPA and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains insufficient. In the present study, we aimed to identify the association between BPA and CVD, using data from the 2003-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES). We estimated urine BPA concentration after adjustments for creatinine (ng/mg) and normalized the asymmetrical distribution using natural logarithmic transformation (ln-BPA/Cr). A multivariate logistic regression was performed to evaluate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for CVD, with ln-BPA/Cr concentration as predictor. We then performed a Mantel-Haenszel meta-analysis with five eligible studies and NHANES 2003-2016 data. Our subjects were 11,857 adults from the NHANES data. After adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, body mass index (BMI), cigarette smoking, diabetes status, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, OR between ln-BPA/Cr and CVD was 1.13 (95% CI: 1.02-1.24). After propensity-score-matching with age, sex, race/ethnicity, BMI, cigarette smoking, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, OR continued to be significant for the association between ln-BPA/Cr and CVD (OR: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.04-1.33). A restricted cubic spline plot of this relationship revealed a dose-dependent increase in OR. However, untransformed BPA had a linear relationship with CVD only at low concentrations, whereas the OR of BPA plateaued at high concentrations. In a meta-analysis with 22,878 subjects, after adjusting for age, sex, and various cardiometabolic risk factors, OR was 1.13 (95% CI, 1.03-1.23). In conclusion, our study provides additional epidemiological evidence supporting an association between BPA and CVD.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor, is widely used in the manufacture of different daily life products. Accumulating evidence supports the association between the increasing incidence of neurodegenerative diseases and the BPA level in the environment. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective role of melatonin against BPA-induced mitochondrial dysfunction-mediated apoptosis in the brain. Herein, adult Sprague Dawley rats were administrated (subcutaneously) with BPA (100 μg/kg BW, 1 mg/kg BW, and 10 mg/kg BW) and melatonin (4 mg/kg BW) for 16 days. Our results showed BPA exposure significantly increased the oxidative stress as demonstrated by increased free radicals (ROS), TBARs level, disrupted cellular architecture, and decreased antioxidant enzymes including SOD, CAT, APX, POD, and GSH levels. Additionally, BPA treatment increased the expression of PUMA, p53, and Drp-1 resulting in apoptosis in the brain tissue of rats. However, melatonin treatment significantly attenuated BPA-induced toxic effects by scavenging ROS, boosting antioxidant enzyme activities, and interestingly enervated brain apoptosis by normalizing p53, PUMA, and Drp-1 expressions at both transcriptional and translational level. Moreover, the brain tissue histology also revealed the therapeutic potential of melatonin by normalizing the cellular architecture. Conclusively, our finding suggests that melatonin could alleviate oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction-linked apoptosis, rendering its neuroprotective potential against BPA-induced toxicity.

Bisphenol-S and Bisphenol-F alter mouse pancreatic β-cell ion channel expression and activity and insulin release through an estrogen receptor ERβ mediated pathway. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 265:129051.

Abstract
Bisphenol-S (BPS) and Bisphenol-F (BPF) are current Bisphenol-A (BPA) substitutes. Here we used pancreatic β-cells from wild type (WT) and estrogen receptor β (ERβ) knockout (BERKO) mice to investigate the effects of BPS and BPF on insulin secretion, and the expression and activity of ion channels involved in β-cell function. BPS or BPF rapidly increased insulin release and diminished ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel activity. Similarly, 48 h treatment with BPS or BPF enhanced insulin release and decreased the expression of several ion channel subunits in β-cells from WT mice, yet no effects were observed in cells from BERKO mice. PaPE-1, a ligand designed to preferentially trigger extranuclear-initiated ER pathways, mimicked the effects of bisphenols, suggesting the involvement of extranuclear-initiated ERβ pathways. Molecular dynamics simulations indicated differences in ERβ ligand-binding domain dimer stabilization and solvation free energy among different bisphenols and PaPE-1. Our data suggest a mode of action involving ERβ whose activation alters three key cellular events in β-cell, namely ion channel expression and activity, and insulin release. These results may help to improve the hazard identification of bisphenols.

Abstract
Bisphenol S (BPS) is the major substitute for the production of bisphenol A (BPA)-free products and detected in both food and environment. Although the relationship between BPA exposure and increased risk of obesity and diabetes has been noted, the potential influence of BPS is not fully understood. Herein, a non-targeted lipidomic study was performed to explore BPA/BPS exposure actions using the 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation model, and revealed the comprehensive lipidome disturbance induced by either BPA or BPS exposure at different doses of 0.01, 1 and 100 μM. BPA was more potent than BPS in disturbance of lipid metabolism. A considerable similarity of BPS exposure to BPA was discovered. The key lipid remodeling in response to exposure was found to involve the cardiolipins, phosphatidylglycerols and fatty acids metabolic pathways, providing novel clues of potential mechanism in which both BPA and BPS exposure could be associated with increased risk of insulin resistance. Our study supplies the perspective into the lipidome response to environmental stress induced by BPA/BPS, and shows that BPA-free products are not necessarily safer. Substitution of BPA by its structural analog BPS should be therefore performed with caution.

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
BACKGROUND Bisphenol A (BPA) is a ubiquitous endocrine disrupting chemical and obesogen. Although limited evidence exists of the effects of BPA on hypothalamic agouti-related peptide (AgRP) levels, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unknown. Given that AgRP is a potent orexigenic neuropeptide, determining the mechanism by which BPA increases AgRP is critical to preventing the progression to metabolic disease. METHODS Using quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, we investigated the response of Agrp-expressing mouse hypothalamic cell lines to BPA treatment. The percentage of total BPA entering hypothalamic cells in culture was quantified using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In order to identify the mechanism underlying BPA-mediated changes in Agrp, siRNA knockdown of transcription factors, FOXO1, CHOP, ATF3, ATF4, ATF6, and small-molecule inhibitors of endoplasmic reticulum stress, JNK or MEK/ERK were used. RESULTS BPA increased mRNA levels of Agrp in six hypothalamic cell lines (mHypoA-59, mHypoE-41, mHypoA-2/12, mHypoE-46, mHypoE-44, and mHypoE-42). Interestingly, only 18% of the total BPA in the culture medium entered the cells after 24 h, suggesting that the exposure concentration is much lower than the treatment concentration. BPA increased pre-Agrp mRNA levels, indicating increased Agrp transcription. Knockdown of the transcription factor ATF3 prevented BPA-mediated increase in Agrp, pre-Agrp, and in part Npy mRNA levels. However, chemical chaperone, sodium phenylbutyrate, JNK inhibitor, SP600125, or the MEK/ERK inhibitor PD0352901 did not block BPA-induced Agrp upregulation. CONCLUSION Overall, these results indicate that hypothalamic Agrp is susceptible to dysregulation by BPA and implicate ATF3 as a common mediator of the orexigenic effects of BPA in hypothalamic neurons.

Abstract
Almost 2 billion adults in the world are overweight, and more than half of them are classified as obese, while nearly one-third of children globally experience poor growth and development. Given the vast amount of knowledge that has been gleaned from decades of research on growth and development, a number of questions remain as to why the world is now in the midst of a global epidemic of obesity accompanied by the "double burden of malnutrition," where overweight coexists with underweight and micronutrient deficiencies. This challenge to the human condition can be attributed to nutritional and environmental exposures during pregnancy that may program a fetus to have a higher risk of chronic diseases in adulthood. To explore this concept, frequently called the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD), this review considers a host of factors and physiological mechanisms that drive a fetus or child toward a higher risk of obesity, fatty liver disease, hypertension, and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). To that end, this review explores the epidemiology of DOHaD with discussions focused on adaptations to human energetics, placental development, dysmetabolism, and key environmental exposures that act to promote chronic diseases in adulthood. These areas are complementary and additive in understanding how providing the best conditions for optimal growth can create the best possible conditions for lifelong health. Moreover, understanding both physiological as well as epigenetic and molecular mechanisms for DOHaD is vital to most fully address the global issues of obesity and other chronic diseases.

Low-dose Bisphenol-A Promotes Epigenetic Changes at Pparγ Promoter in Adipose Precursor Cells. Nutrients 2020; 12:nu12113498.

Abstract
Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as Bisphenol-A (BPA) is associated with an increase in obesity prevalence. Diet is the primary cause of human exposure to this contaminant. BPA promotes obesity by inducing adipocyte dysfunction and altering adipogenesis. Contradictory evidence and unanswered questions are reported in the literature concerning the BPA effects on adipogenesis. To clarify this issue, we tested the effects of prolonged low-dose BPA exposure on different phases of adipogenesis in committed 3T3L1 and uncommitted NIH3T3 preadipocytes. Our findings show that BPA effects on the adipogenesis are mediated by epigenetic mechanisms by reducing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (Pparγ) promoter methylation in preadipocytes. Nevertheless, in BPA-exposed 3T3L1, Pparγ expression only transiently increases as lipid accumulation at day 4 of differentiation, without altering the adipogenic potential of the precursor cells. In the absence of differentiation mix, BPA does not make the 3T3L1 an in vitro model of spontaneous adipogenesis and the effects on the Pparγ expression are still limited at day 4 of differentiation. Furthermore, BPA exposure does not commit the NIH3T3 to the adipocyte lineage, although Pparγ overexpression is more evident both in preadipocytes and during the adipocyte differentiation. Interestingly, termination of the BPA exposure restores the Pparγ promoter methylation and inflammatory profile of the 3T3L1 cells. This study shows that BPA induces epigenetic changes in a key adipogenic gene. These modifications are reversible and do not affect preadipocyte commitment and/or differentiation. We identify an alternative transcriptional mechanism by which BPA affects gene expression and demonstrate how the challenge of preventing exposure is fundamental for human health.

Abstract
Gestational exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) can lead to offspring insulin resistance. However, despite the role that the skeletal muscle plays in glucose homeostasis, it remains unknown whether gestational exposure to BPA, or its analog bisphenol S (BPS), impairs skeletal muscle development. We hypothesized that gestational exposure to BPA or BPS will impair fetal muscle development and lead to muscle-specific insulin resistance. To test this, pregnant sheep (n = 7-8/group) were exposed to BPA or BPS from gestational day (GD) 30 to 100. At GD120, fetal skeletal muscle was harvested to evaluate fiber size, fiber type, and gene and protein expression related to myogenesis, fiber size, fiber type, and inflammation. Fetal primary myoblasts were isolated to evaluate proliferation and differentiation. In fetal skeletal muscle, myofibers were larger in BPA and BPS groups in both females and males. BPA females had higher MYH1 (reflective of type-IIX fast glycolytic fibers), whereas BPS females had higher MYH2 and MYH7, and higher myogenic regulatory factors (Myf5, MyoG, MyoD, and MRF4) mRNA expression. No differences were observed in males. Myoblast proliferation was not altered in gestationally BPA- or BPS-exposed myoblasts, but upon differentiation, area and diameter of myotubes were larger independent of sex. Females had larger myofibers and myotubes than males in all treatment groups. In conclusion, gestational exposure to BPA or BPS does not result in insulin resistance in fetal myoblasts but leads to fetal fiber hypertrophy in skeletal muscle independent of sex and alters fiber type distribution in a sex-specific manner.

Abstract
Exposure to environmental toxicants such as Bisphenol A (BPA) has raised serious health issues globally particularly in developing countries. It is ubiquitously used in the manufacturing of canned food and feeding bottles. BPA generated reactive oxygen species can lead to several diseases including cardiotoxicity. However, the endpoints stimulated in BPA cardiotoxicity yet need to be investigated. The current study was aimed to investigate the underlying molecular pathways which may contribute in revealing the protective effects of Pistacia integerrima against BPA induced oxidative stress. The dose of 100 µg/kg BW of BPA, 200 mg/kg BW P. integerrima, and 4 mg/kg BW melatonin was administered to Sprague Dawley rats. Present results of western blotting and qRT-PCR showed the increased expression of p53, PUMA and Drp1, while downregulation of Ubc13 in heart tissues of BPA treated group whereas the levels were reversed upon treatment with P. integerrima. The role of BPA in heart tissue apoptosis was further confirmed by the increased level of P-p53, cytochrome C and disrupted cellular architecture whereas the P. integerrima has shown its ameliorative potential by mitigating the adverse effects of BPA. Moreover, the oxidant, antioxidant, lipid, and liver markers profile has also revealed the therapeutic potential of P. integerrima by maintaining the levels in the normal range. However, melatonin has also manifested the normalized expression of apoptotic markers, biochemical markers, and tissue architecture. Conclusively, the data suggest that P. integerrima may be a potential candidate for the treatment of BPA induced toxicity by neutralizing the oxidative stress through Ubc13/p53 pathway.

Abstract
Recent studies suggested a significant downward trend in population's exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) in the United States. However, the temporal trend of BPA exposure remains unclear in China - a populous country with substantial industrial activities but less efforts made to phase out BPA in consumer products. In addition, it is unclear to what extent a visit from the United States to China could affect human exposure to BPA. In this natural experiment, we measured the concentration of total BPA in 418 urine samples repeatedly collected from 55 Los Angeles residents before, during, and after they spent 10 weeks in Beijing from 2012 to 2017. We found that traveling from Los Angeles to Beijing led to a 2.91-fold (95% CI: 2.43 to 3.50) increase in urinary BPA levels, which fully returned to baseline after study participants came back to Los Angeles. From 2012 to 2017, urinary BPA concentrations decreased in Los Angeles by 25.5% per year (95% CI: -30.8% to -19.8%; p < 0.001) but did not change in Beijing (p = 0.24). Consequently, the concentration ratio of urinary BPA between Beijing and Los Angeles increased from 1.23 (95% CI: 0.82 to 1.85) in 2012 to 4.05 (95% CI: 2.75 to 5.97) in 2017. These results indicate that BPA exposures may increase among international travelers to China. Additional efforts are needed to reduce population's exposure to BPA in China.

Prolonged bisphenol-A exposure decreases endocrine pancreatic proliferation in response to obesogenic diet in ovariectomized mice. Steroids 2020; 160:108658.

Abstract
Research on the deleterious actions of bisphenol (BP)-A have focused on its effects on insulin secretion during pre/perinatal periods or adulthood. Estrogens also modulate endocrine pancreas physiology in females during aging; however, the effects of BPA on islet morphophysiology after menopause have not been investigated. We evaluated the effects of BPA exposure on glucose homeostasis and islet morphofunction in ovariectomized (OVX) mice fed on a high-fat diet (HFD). Adult Swiss female mice were underwent to bilateral ovariectomy, and with the confirmation of the establishment of surgical menopause, the females were then submitted, or not,to a normolipidic diet or HFD [control (CTL) and HFD groups, respectively] without or with 1 μg/mL BPA in their drinking water (CBPA and HBPA groups) for 90 days. HFD females displayed obesity, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. BPA did not modulate HFD-induced obesity or body glucose impairments in HBPA females, and islets isolated from both the HFD and HBPA groups exhibited insulin hypersecretion. The HBPA islets, however, displayed enlarged islet cells and reduced proliferation, in association with the downregulation of mRNAs encoding PDX-1, NGN3 and CCND2 and upregulation of mRNAs encoding ER-β, GPR30, TNF-α and IL-1β in HBPA islets. BPA consumption in OVX mice impaired the islet-cell hyperplasia response to the HFD, partly mediated by increased expression of ER-β and GPR30, which impaired the expression of major genes involved in islet-cell survival and functionality. Together with higher pro-inflammatory cytokines expression in the islet milieu, these alterations may accelerate β-cell failure in postmenopause.

Bisphenol-A exposure worsens hepatic steatosis in ovariectomized mice fed on a high-fat diet: Role of endoplasmic reticulum stress and fibrogenic pathways. Life Sci 2020; 256:118012. [PMID: 32593710 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2020.118012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Revised: 06/21/2020] [Accepted: 06/23/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Bisphenol (BP)-A exposure can impair glucose and lipid metabolism. However, it is unclear whether this endocrine disruptor (ED) modulates these processes in postmenopause, a period with organic changes that increase the risk for metabolic diseases. Herein, we evaluated the effects of BPA exposure on adiposity, glucose homeostasis and hepatic steatosis in ovariectomized (OVX) mice fed on a high-fat diet (HFD). MAIN METHODS Adult Swiss female mice were OVX and submitted to a normolipidic diet or HFD and drinking water without [control (OVX CTL) and OVX HFD groups, respectively] or with 1 μg/mL BPA (OVX CBPA and OVX HBPA groups, respectively), for 3 months. KEY FINDINGS OVX HFD females displayed increased adiposity, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and moderate hepatic steatosis. This effect was associated with a high hepatic expression of genes involved in lipogenesis (Srebf1 and Scd1), β-oxidation (Cpt1a) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (Hspa5 and Hyou1). BPA did not alter adiposity or glucose homeostasis disruptions induced by HFD. However, this ED triggered severe steatosis, exacerbating hepatic fat and collagen depositions in OVX HBPA, in association with a reduction in Mttp mRNA, and up-regulation of genes involved in β-oxidation (Acox1 and Acadvl), mitochondrial uncoupling (Ucp2), ER stress (Hyou1 and Atf6) and chronic liver injury (Tgfb1and Casp8). Furthermore, BPA caused mild steatosis in OVX CBPA females, increasing the hepatic total lipids and mRNAs for Srebf1, Scd1, Hspa5, Hyou1 and Atf6. SIGNIFICANCE BPA aggravated hepatic steatosis in OVX mice. Especially when combined with a HFD, BPA caused NAFLD progression, which was partly mediated by chronic ER stress and the TGF-β1 pathway.

Abstract
The purpose of this project report is to introduce the European "GOLIATH" project, a new research project which addresses one of the most urgent regulatory needs in the testing of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), namely the lack of methods for testing EDCs that disrupt metabolism and metabolic functions. These chemicals collectively referred to as "metabolism disrupting compounds" (MDCs) are natural and anthropogenic chemicals that can promote metabolic changes that can ultimately result in obesity, diabetes, and/or fatty liver in humans. This project report introduces the main approaches of the project and provides a focused review of the evidence of metabolic disruption for selected EDCs. GOLIATH will generate the world's first integrated approach to testing and assessment (IATA) specifically tailored to MDCs. GOLIATH will focus on the main cellular targets of metabolic disruption-hepatocytes, pancreatic endocrine cells, myocytes and adipocytes-and using an adverse outcome pathway (AOP) framework will provide key information on MDC-related mode of action by incorporating multi-omic analyses and translating results from in silico, in vitro, and in vivo models and assays to adverse metabolic health outcomes in humans at real-life exposures. Given the importance of international acceptance of the developed test methods for regulatory use, GOLIATH will link with ongoing initiatives of the Organisation for Economic Development (OECD) for test method (pre-)validation, IATA, and AOP development.

[PMID: 32023790 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2019.113907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2019] [Revised: 12/15/2019] [Accepted: 12/31/2019] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
B cells contribute to produce inflammatory cytokines and antibodies, to present autoantigens, and to interact with T cells, which lead to body defense and disease control. Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2(Nrf2) is responsible for gene expression of antioxidant enzymes to protect cells from oxidative stress by reactive oxygen species(ROS) production. Bisphenol A(BPA) may not be safe due to the effect on body's physiological functions. The chemicals that substitute for BPA may still have similar effects in the body. Tritan™ copolyester is a novel plastic form using BPA substitutes, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol(CHDM), dimethyl terephthalate(DMT), and 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol(TMCD). Isosorbide(ISO) was also used as a substitute for TMCD and DMT. Here, we investigated whether B cell viability is influenced by BPA and its substitutes via Nrf2 induction using WiL2-NS human B lymphoblast cells. When cytotoxicity was measured by using assays with MTT, CellTiter-Glo, trypan blue and propidium iodide, cytotoxicity by BPA was higher than that by substitutes. BPA and its substitutes showed significant cytotoxicity and ROS production, which were attenuated by the treatment with N-acetylcysteine(NAC), a ROS scavenger. In addition, BPA treatment enhanced gene expression of antioxidant enzymes, heme oxygenase(HO)-1, catalase, superoxide dismutase(SOD) 1 and 2. As H2O2 treatment induced cell death and Nrf2 amount in WiL2-NS cells, BPA treatment increased Nrf2. Cell death by H2O2 was increased in doxycycline-inducible Nrf2-knockdown(KD) cells. In Cytotoxicity by the treatment with BPA or its substitutes was also enhanced in Nrf2-KD cells but that was reduced by Nrf2 overexpression compared to control cells. Taken together, these results implicate that B cell cytotoxicity by substitutes should be lower than BPA and Nrf2 can prevent B cells from BPA- or BPA substitutes-induced cytotoxicity via ROS production. Data suggest that the comprehensive studies or evaluation could be necessary to replace BPA in manufacture by other substitutes.

Abstract
CONTEXT Prenatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) is linked to obesity and diabetes but the molecular mechanisms driving these phenomena are not known. Alterations in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation in amniocytes exposed to BPA in utero represent a potential mechanism leading to metabolic dysfunction later in life. OBJECTIVE To profile changes in genome-wide DNA methylation and expression in second trimester human amniocytes exposed to BPA in utero. DESIGN A nested case-control study was performed in amniocytes matched for offspring sex, maternal race/ethnicity, maternal age, gestational age at amniocentesis, and gestational age at birth. Cases had amniotic fluid BPA measuring 0.251 to 23.74 ng/mL. Sex-specific genome-wide DNA methylation analysis and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) were performed to determine differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and gene expression changes associated with BPA exposure. Ingenuity pathway analysis was performed to identify biologically relevant pathways enriched after BPA exposure. In silico Hi-C analysis identified potential chromatin interactions with DMRs. RESULTS There were 101 genes with altered expression in male amniocytes exposed to BPA (q < 0.05) in utero, with enrichment of pathways critical to hepatic dysfunction, collagen signaling and adipogenesis. Thirty-six DMRs were identified in male BPA-exposed amniocytes and 14 in female amniocyte analysis (q < 0.05). Hi-C analysis identified interactions between DMRs and 24 genes with expression changes in male amniocytes and 12 in female amniocytes (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION In a unique repository of human amniocytes exposed to BPA in utero, sex-specific analyses identified gene expression changes in pathways associated with metabolic disease and novel DMRs with potential distal regulatory functions.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) and its replacement analog, bisphenol S (BPS), have been proposed as environmental obesogen to disrupt the lipid metabolism through regulating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) receptor. However, there is a dearth of information on whether this biological effect can occur in human macrophage, a cell type which closely interacts with adipocytes and hepatocytes to control lipid metabolism. Here, we for the first time investigate the activity of BPA and BPS on PPARγ pathway in human macrophages. The results demonstrated that BPA and BPS served as activators of PPARγ in human macrophage cell line, and significantly induced the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes, including fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) and nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 3 (NR1H3). In PPARγ knockout cells, expression of these genes was down-regulated, suggesting that these genes are dependent on PPARγ. The underlying mechanisms were further investigated using an in vivo mouse model, and the results confirmed the induction of PPARγ and its respective target genes in mice following exposure to BPA or BPS. Moreover, the observed alteration of PPARγ expression highly correlated with the disturbance of metabolism profiles in liver tissues as detected by 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)-based metabonomics. Overall, this study provided the first evidence that BPA and BPS activated PPARγ and its target genes in human macrophages, and provided comprehensive information to confirm that BPA and BPS disturb the metabolism through targeting PPARγ via both in vitro assays and in vivo animal models.

Abstract
Pharmacological interventions to aid weight loss have historically targeted either appetite suppression or increased metabolic rate. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) possesses the capacity to expend energy in a futile cycle, thus increasing basal metabolic rate. In animal models, oestrogen has been implicated in the regulation of body weight, and it is hypothesized that oestrogen is acting by modulating BAT metabolism. A systematic search was performed, to identify research articles implementing in vivo oestrogen-related interventions and reporting outcome measures that provide direct or indirect measures of BAT metabolism. Meta-analyses were conducted where sufficient data were available. The final library of 67 articles were predominantly in rodent models and provided mostly indirect measures of BAT metabolism. Results of this review found that oestrogen's effects on body weight, in rats and possibly mice, are likely facilitated by both metabolic and appetitive mechanisms but are largely only found in ovariectomized models. There is a need for further studies to clarify the potential effects of oestrogen on BAT metabolism in gonad-intact and castrated male animal models.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes prevalence is increasing dramatically across the globe, imposing a tremendous toll on individuals and healthcare systems. Reversing these trends requires comprehensive approaches to address both classical and emerging diabetes risk factors. Recently, environmental toxicants acting as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have emerged as novel metabolic disease risk factors. EDCs implicated in diabetes pathogenesis include various inorganic and organic molecules of both natural and synthetic origin, including arsenic, bisphenol A, phthalates, polychlorinated biphenyls and organochlorine pesticides. Indeed, evidence implicates EDC exposures across the lifespan in metabolic dysfunction; moreover, specific developmental windows exhibit enhanced sensitivity to EDC-induced metabolic disruption, with potential impacts across generations. Importantly, differential exposures to diabetogenic EDCs likely also contribute to racial/ethnic and economic disparities. Despite these emerging links, clinical practice guidelines fail to address this underappreciated diabetes risk factor. Comprehensive approaches to stem the tide of diabetes must include efforts to address its environmental drivers.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a widespread endocrine-disrupting chemical that has been associated with type 2 diabetes development. Low doses of BPA modify pancreatic beta cell function and induce insulin resistance; some of these effects are mediated via activation of oestrogen receptors α (ERα) and β (ERβ). Here we investigated whether low doses of BPA regulate the expression and function of ion channel subunits involved in beta cell function. METHODS Microarray gene profiling of isolated islets from vehicle- and BPA-treated (100 μg/kg per day for 4 days) mice was performed using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430.2 Array. Expression level analysis was performed using the normalisation method based on the processing algorithm 'robust multi-array average'. Whole islets or dispersed islets from C57BL/6J or oestrogen receptor β (ERβ) knockout (Erβ-/-) mice were treated with vehicle or BPA (1 nmol/l) for 48 h. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were used to measure Na+ and K+ currents. mRNA expression was evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR. RESULTS Microarray analysis showed that BPA modulated the expression of 1440 probe sets (1192 upregulated and 248 downregulated genes). Of these, more than 50 genes, including Scn9a, Kcnb2, Kcnma1 and Kcnip1, encoded important Na+ and K+ channel subunits. These findings were confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR in islets from C57BL/6J BPA-treated mice or whole islets treated ex vivo. Electrophysiological measurements showed a decrease in both Na+ and K+ currents in BPA-treated islets. The pharmacological profile indicated that BPA reduced currents mediated by voltage-activated K+ channels (Kv2.1/2.2 channels) and large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (KCa1.1 channels), which agrees with BPA's effects on gene expression. Beta cells from ERβ-/- mice did not present BPA-induced changes, suggesting that ERβ mediates BPA's effects in pancreatic islets. Finally, BPA increased burst duration, reduced the amplitude of the action potential and enlarged the action potential half-width, leading to alteration in beta cell electrical activity. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Our data suggest that BPA modulates the expression and function of Na+ and K+ channels via ERβ in mouse pancreatic islets. Furthermore, BPA alters beta cell electrical activity. Altogether, these BPA-induced changes in beta cells might play a role in the diabetogenic action of BPA described in animal models.
