Abstract

2,2,4,4-Tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) has received considerable attention because of its high level in biological samples and potential developmental toxicity. Whether BDE-47 ingestion affects ovarian hormone secretion and the detailed underlying mechanism have not been clearly elucidated. The present study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of BDE-47 on ovarian hormone secretion and explored the underlying mechanism. The results showed that exposure to BDE-47 caused ovarian lipid deposition and ovarian hormone disruption accompanied by oxidative stress (OS) and downregulation of hormone biosynthesis-related proteins in mice. Mechanistically, using ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) as a cellular model, it was shown that BDE-47 inhibited two ovarian hormone secretion-associated pathways: i) BDE-47 exposure induced OS via the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and further inhibited the expressions of ovarian hormone biosynthesis-related proteins, such as StAR, 3-βHSD, CYP11A1, and CYP17A1; ii) BDE-47 induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, mitochondrial abnormalities, and lipotoxicity, which in turn disrupted the hormone biosynthesis process and inhibited ovarian hormone secretion. Interestingly, autophagy could promote hormone secretion via downregulating the transcription levels of PPARγ and C/EBPα involved in lipid deposition. Moreover, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger NAC and ER stress inhibitor 4-PBA not only inhibited the decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential but also blocked apoptosis induced by BDE-47, indicating that two individual pathways mediated apoptosis in GCs: the ER stress-mediated signaling pathway and the ROS-mediated mitochondrial signaling pathway. Together, these findings indicate the possible health risks of BDE-47 pollution areas to women, particularly affecting their ovarian hormone secretion.

摘要

四溴二苯醚(BDE-47)由于其在生物样本中的高含量和潜在的发育毒性而受到广泛关注。BDE-47 的摄入是否会影响卵巢激素分泌,以及其详细的潜在机制尚不清楚。本研究旨在评估 BDE-47 对卵巢激素分泌的毒性,并探讨其潜在机制。结果表明,BDE-47 暴露导致小鼠卵巢脂质沉积和卵巢激素紊乱,伴有氧化应激(OS)和激素生物合成相关蛋白下调。在机制上,使用卵巢颗粒细胞(GCs)作为细胞模型,表明 BDE-47 通过 Nrf2/HO-1 信号通路诱导 OS,进一步抑制卵巢激素生物合成相关蛋白的表达,如 StAR、3-βHSD、CYP11A1 和 CYP17A1;BDE-47 诱导内质网(ER)应激、线粒体异常和脂肪毒性,进而破坏激素生物合成过程并抑制卵巢激素分泌。有趣的是,自噬可以通过下调参与脂质沉积的 PPARγ 和 C/EBPα 的转录水平来促进激素分泌。此外,活性氧(ROS)清除剂 NAC 和 ER 应激抑制剂 4-PBA 不仅抑制线粒体膜电位的降低,而且阻止 BDE-47 诱导的细胞凋亡,表明两条独立的途径介导 GCs 中的细胞凋亡:ER 应激介导的信号通路和 ROS 介导的线粒体信号通路。总之,这些发现表明 BDE-47 污染地区对女性的健康可能存在风险,特别是影响其卵巢激素分泌。
