摘要

The stability of perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) coupled with its wide use cause serious concerns regarding its potential risk to human health. The molecular mechanisms of PFOA-induced hepatotoxicity relevant to human health was investigated using both in-vivo (mouse model) and in vitro (human hepatocyte cells, HL-7702) techniques. Both male and female Balb/c mice were administered PFOA at 0.05, 0.5, or 2.5 mg/kg-d for 28-d, with serum PFOA concentrations after exposure being found at environmentally relevant levels. Liver samples were examined for histology and proteomic change using iTRAQ and Western Blotting, showing dose-dependent hepatocyte apoptosis and peroxisome proliferation. At high doses, genotoxicity resulting from ROS hypergeneration was due to suppression of Complex I subunits in the electron transport chain and activation of PPAR alpha in both genders. However, at 0.05 mg/kg-d, Complex I suppression occurred only in females, making them more sensitive to PFOA-induced apoptosis. In vitro assays using HL-7702 cells confirmed that apoptosis was also induced through a similar mechanism. The dose/gender-dependent toxicity mechanisms help to explain some epidemiological phenomena, i.e., liver cancer is not often associated with PFOA exposure in professional workers. Our results demonstrated that a proteomic approach is a robust tool to explore molecular mechanisms of toxic chemicals at environmentally relevant levels.
