Melatonin Attenuates PFOS-Induced Reproductive Toxicity of Pregnant Mice due to Placental Damage Via Antioxidant, Anti-Aging and Anti-Inflammatory Pathways
Background
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), an industrially synthesized persistent organic pollutant (POP), is intricately intertwined with human production and daily life. It has been discovered that PFOS is related to an elevated incidence of birth defects in fetuses. In contrast, melatonin (MLT), a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, has been demonstrated to exert a protective effect on reproductive development.
Methods
This paper investigates the protective effect of MLT against PFOS-induced reproductive toxicity by simultaneously orally administering MLT to pregnant mice exposed to PFOS. The therapeutic effect was evaluated through the monitoring of pregnancy outcomes, histological changes in the placenta, apoptosis and proliferation of placental spongiotrophoblast, as well as the expression of antioxidant enzyme genes, anti-aging genes, anti-inflammatory genes and other relevant genes.
Results
The results of the study demonstrated that MLT treatment reversed the adverse pregnancy outcomes caused by toxic PFOS, including a low number of implanted fetuses, low neonatal fetal weight, and an increased number of resorbed fetuses. MLT treatment decreased the levels of MDA, an oxidation product generated by PFOS in the placenta of pregnant mice, and increased the levels of the antioxidant enzyme SOD. Additionally, MLT was able to maintain the normalization of placental structure, reduce apoptosis and sustain the proliferation of placental spongiotrophoblast by upregulating the expression of antioxidant genes (Nrf2, CAT) and anti-aging gene (Klotho), anti-inflammatory gene (Hsd11b2), thereby counteracting the oxidative stress caused by PFOS in the placenta, moreover, it also reduced the expression of inflammatory genes (Pycard) in the placenta.
Conclusions
The findings firmly establish the effectiveness of MLT in mitigating the harmful impacts of tainted PFOS on reproductive development during pregnancy. This provides a novel therapeutic approach for addressing PFOS-induced birth defects in fetuses.
期刊介绍:
The journal Birth Defects Research publishes original research and reviews in areas related to the etiology of adverse developmental and reproductive outcome. In particular the journal is devoted to the publication of original scientific research that contributes to the understanding of the biology of embryonic development and the prenatal causative factors and mechanisms leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes, namely structural and functional birth defects, pregnancy loss, postnatal functional defects in the human population, and to the identification of prenatal factors and biological mechanisms that reduce these risks.
Adverse reproductive and developmental outcomes may have genetic, environmental, nutritional or epigenetic causes. Accordingly, the journal Birth Defects Research takes an integrated, multidisciplinary approach in its organization and publication strategy. The journal Birth Defects Research contains separate sections for clinical and molecular teratology, developmental and reproductive toxicology, and reviews in developmental biology to acknowledge and accommodate the integrative nature of research in this field. Each section has a dedicated editor who is a leader in his/her field and who has full editorial authority in his/her area.
