Abstract
Thyroid hormones (TH) are critical regulators of neurogliogenesis, neural stem cell fate specification, oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination during the perinatal period. Disruption of TH signaling during this sensitive developmental window may induce long-lasting alterations in adult neurogenesis and myelin development and repair, increasing vulnerability to demyelinating disorders. We investigated whether perinatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known endocrine disruptors of TH homeostasis, produces persistent functional consequences on neurogliogenesis and myelin integrity. Using complementary in vivo and ex vivo models, we show that perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), but not perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), alters both neurogenesis and oligodendrogenesis and impairs functional remyelination. In Xenopus laevis Tg(mbp:GFP-NTR), PFOS exposure inhibited spontaneous remyelination and altered visually guided behavior. In lysolecithin-demyelinated mouse cerebellar slices, PFOS reduced remyelination, an effect rescued by TH supplementation, supporting the involvement of altered TH signaling. In mice, maternal PFOS exposure during late gestation and lactation led to PFOS accumulation within offspring myelin and induced long-term alterations in subventricular zone (SVZ) neurogliogenesis. PFOS transiently shifted neural stem cell lineage specification toward oligodendrogenesis at the expense of neurogenesis during early postnatal stages, while impairing oligodendrocyte precursor cell maturation in adulthood. PFOS exposure was also associated with reduced numbers of adult-born dopaminergic interneurons in the olfactory bulb and altered olfactory memory in adult offspring. Ultrastructural analyses further revealed sustained thinning and disorganization of the myelin sheath. In vitro, PFAS altered the biophysical properties of myelin lipid membranes, indicating combined indirect endocrine and direct membrane effects.

期刊介绍:
The Annales d''Endocrinologie, mouthpiece of the French Society of Endocrinology (SFE), publishes reviews, articles and case reports coming from clinical, therapeutic and fundamental research in endocrinology and metabolic diseases. Every year, it carries a position paper by a work-group of French-language endocrinologists, on an endocrine pathology chosen by the Society''s Scientific Committee. The journal is also the organ of the Society''s annual Congress, publishing a summary of the symposia, presentations and posters. "Les Must de l''Endocrinologie" is a special booklet brought out for the Congress, with summary articles that are always very well received. And finally, we publish the high-level instructional courses delivered during the Henri-Pierre Klotz International Endocrinology Days. The Annales is a window on the world, keeping alert clinicians up to date on what is going on in diagnosis and treatment in all the areas of our specialty.
