In utero exposure to estrogenic bisphenol analogues increases mammary tissue stiffness
In utero exposures to estrogenic endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) can increase breast cancer risk in adulthood. It has previously been shown that the estrogenic plasticizer bisphenol A (BPA) alters development of the mammary gland and increases both mammary gland stiffness and tumor susceptibility in rodent models following in utero exposure. Because of its endocrine disrupting properties, BPA has been substituted with structural analogues with varying abilities to activate estrogen receptor alpha (ERα). However, the impact of in utero exposure to many of these analogues is unknown. In the present study, we aimed to analyze the impact of bisphenol analogues on collagen deposition and mammary gland stiffness and characterize mammary epithelial development following exposure to these compounds. With the exception of bisphenol S, all analogues significantly increased mammary gland stiffness at a 25 µg/kg body weight dose in a manner that correlated to estrogenic activity. In contrast, significant effects on epithelial development endpoints were limited and did not follow a clear pattern. These results add to the growing literature on the hazard of bisphenol analogues and support the idea that these compounds promote abnormal mammary gland development. Furthermore, these data support a model that bisphenol compounds induce a microenvironment that may promote breast cancer development in an estrogen-dependent manner.
期刊介绍:
Drawing from a large number of disciplines, Reproductive Toxicology publishes timely, original research on the influence of chemical and physical agents on reproduction. Written by and for obstetricians, pediatricians, embryologists, teratologists, geneticists, toxicologists, andrologists, and others interested in detecting potential reproductive hazards, the journal is a forum for communication among researchers and practitioners. Articles focus on the application of in vitro, animal and clinical research to the practice of clinical medicine.
All aspects of reproduction are within the scope of Reproductive Toxicology, including the formation and maturation of male and female gametes, sexual function, the events surrounding the fusion of gametes and the development of the fertilized ovum, nourishment and transport of the conceptus within the genital tract, implantation, embryogenesis, intrauterine growth, placentation and placental function, parturition, lactation and neonatal survival. Adverse reproductive effects in males will be considered as significant as adverse effects occurring in females. To provide a balanced presentation of approaches, equal emphasis will be given to clinical and animal or in vitro work. Typical end points that will be studied by contributors include infertility, sexual dysfunction, spontaneous abortion, malformations, abnormal histogenesis, stillbirth, intrauterine growth retardation, prematurity, behavioral abnormalities, and perinatal mortality.
