Abstract

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widespread environmental pollutant whose exact effects on prostate cancer (PCa) progression remain understudied. This study aims to investigate the effect and underlying molecular mechanisms between BPA exposure and PCa in a comprehensive approach. The multicenter cohort study found that BPA exposure plays an important role in promoting biochemical recurrence and death of PCa. BPA exposure significantly promoted PCa progression in both the animal model and in vitro experiments. RNA sequencing revealed a disruption of mitochondrial energy homeostasis in BPA-treated cells. In multiple datasets, 17 prognostic genes such as PFKFB4 were obtained to construct and verify a mitochondrial energy metabolism Score system. Based on network toxicology methods and transcriptome sequencing data, ESR1 was identified as a potential transcription factor targeting glycolytic enzyme PFKFB4 under BPA exposure. With the support of lncRNA and circRNA sequencing data, a molecular regulatory network of BPA promoting prostate cancer through mitochondrial energy metabolism reprogramming was constructed. Further molecular docking revealed that BPA has higher binding free energy to ERα than its natural ligand estradiol. Given the widespread presence of BPA in the environment, minimizing exposure to this chemical could represent a feasible approach in improving clinical outcomes.

摘要

双酚A(BPA)是一种广泛存在的环境污染物,其对前列腺癌(PCa)进展的确切影响仍未得到充分研究。本研究旨在全面探讨BPA暴露与PCa之间的影响及潜在分子机制。多中心队列研究发现,BPA暴露在促进PCa的生化复发和死亡中起重要作用。在动物模型和体外实验中,BPA暴露均显著促进了PCa进展。RNA测序显示,BPA处理的细胞中线粒体能量稳态受到破坏。在多个数据集中,获得了17个预后基因,如PFKFB4,以构建并验证线粒体能量代谢评分系统。基于网络毒理学方法和转录组测序数据,ESR1被确定为BPA暴露下靶向糖酵解酶PFKFB4的潜在转录因子。在lncRNA和circRNA测序数据的支持下,构建了BPA通过线粒体能量代谢重编程促进前列腺癌的分子调控网络。进一步的分子对接显示,BPA与雌激素受体α(ERα)的结合自由能高于其天然配体雌二醇。鉴于BPA在环境中广泛存在,尽量减少对这种化学物质的暴露可能是改善临床结局的一种可行方法。
