Bisphenol A (BPA) and diisobutyl (DIBP) phthalate are widely used as typical plasticizers in food packaging. Plasticizers can be released from polymers, migrate into food, and be ingested by humans, leading to various health problems. However, little research has investigated the combined toxicity of BPA and DIBP, particularly their intestinal toxicity. Our goal is to analyse the combined toxicity of BPA (50 mg/kg) and DIBP (500 mg/kg) on the intestines of KM mice. Additionally, we tried to find natural products that can inhibit or prevent the combined toxicity of BPA and DIBP. The results indicated that the combination of BPA and DIBP exposure resulted in a reduction of beneficial flora, an increase in D-Lac levels (136 ± 14 μmol/L), an increase in intestinal permeability, activation of the notch pathway, and a decline in intestinal stem cells (ISCs) to goblet cells, compared to single-exposure sources. Nevertheless, Hu phenolic extract (RHPE) (200, 400 and 600 mg/kg) ameliorated the BPA and DIBP-induced intestinal microbiota disruption and intestinal mucosal barrier impairment by inhibiting the overactivation of the notch pathway. The results of this study highlight the potential risks to human health posed by the combination of BPA and DIBP and may help explain the potential pathways of enterotoxicity caused by combined ingestion.
双酚A(BPA)和邻苯二甲酸二异丁酯(DIBP)作为典型的增塑剂广泛应用于食品包装中。增塑剂可从聚合物中释放出来,迁移到食品中并被人体摄入,从而导致各种健康问题。然而,很少有研究调查BPA和DIBP的联合毒性,尤其是它们的肠道毒性。我们的目标是分析BPA(50毫克/千克)和DIBP(500毫克/千克)对KM小鼠肠道的联合毒性。此外,我们试图寻找能够抑制或预防BPA和DIBP联合毒性的天然产物。结果表明,与单一暴露源相比,BPA和DIBP联合暴露导致有益菌群减少、D-乳酸水平升高(136±14微摩尔/升)、肠道通透性增加、Notch通路激活以及肠道干细胞(ISC)向杯状细胞的数量下降。然而,胡酚提取物(RHPE)(200、400和600毫克/千克)通过抑制Notch通路的过度激活,改善了BPA和DIBP诱导的肠道微生物群紊乱和肠黏膜屏障损伤。本研究结果突出了BPA和DIBP联合作用对人类健康构成的潜在风险,并可能有助于解释联合摄入导致肠毒性的潜在途径。
