Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) bioaccumulate in different organ systems, including bone. While existing research highlights the adverse impact of PFAS on bone density, a critical gap remains in understanding the specific effects on the bone marrow microenvironment, especially the bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT). Changes in BMAT have been linked to various health consequences, such as the development of osteoporosis and the progression of metastatic tumors in bone. Studies presented herein demonstrate that exposure to a mixture of five environmentally relevant PFAS compounds promotes marrow adipogenesis in vitro and in vivo. We show that among the components of the mixture, PFHxS, an alternative to PFOS, has the highest propensity to accumulate in bone and effectively promote marrow adipogenesis. Utilizing RNAseq approaches, we identified the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling as a top pathway modulated by PFHxS exposure. Furthermore, we provide results suggesting the activation and involvement of PPAR-gamma (PPARγ) in PFHxS-mediated bone marrow adipogenesis, especially in combination with high-fat diet. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate the potential impact of elevated PFHxS levels, particularly in occupational settings, on bone health, and specifically bone marrow adiposity. This study contributes new insights into the health risks of PFHxS exposure, urging further research on the relationship between environmental factors, diet, and adipose tissue dynamics.
全氟和多氟烷基物质(PFAS)在不同的器官系统中积累,包括骨骼。虽然现有研究强调了 PFAS 对骨密度的不良影响,但对于其对骨髓微环境,特别是骨髓脂肪组织(BMAT)的具体影响,仍存在一个关键的空白。BMAT 的变化与各种健康后果有关,例如骨质疏松症的发展和骨转移瘤的进展。本文介绍的研究表明,暴露于五种环境相关的 PFAS 化合物混合物中会促进体外和体内骨髓脂肪生成。我们表明,在混合物的成分中,PFHxS(PFOS 的替代品)最有可能在骨骼中积累,并有效地促进骨髓脂肪生成。利用 RNAseq 方法,我们确定过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体 (PPAR) 信号通路是 PFHxS 暴露调节的首要通路。此外,我们提供的结果表明,PPARγ(PPARγ)在 PFHxS 介导的骨髓脂肪生成中被激活并参与其中,特别是在与高脂肪饮食结合时。总之,我们的研究结果表明,高水平的 PFHxS 尤其在职业环境中,可能对骨骼健康,特别是骨髓脂肪含量产生影响。这项研究为 PFHxS 暴露的健康风险提供了新的见解,敦促进一步研究环境因素、饮食和脂肪组织动态之间的关系。
