Triclosan inhibits human trophoblast cell migration via TCF12-mediated RASSF8 regulation
Triclosan (TCS), a fat-soluble broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent widely used in personal care products and medical disinfectants, has been linked to adverse reproductive outcomes including disrupted embryo implantation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the functional consequences and molecular mechanisms of TCS exposure on trophoblast cells, using the HTR-8/SVneo cell line as an established in vitro model of human extravillous trophoblasts. Exposure to environmentally relevant TCS concentrations (0–100 μM) revealed dose-dependent toxicity. Cell viability significantly decreased at more than 10 μM TCS, while migration was impaired at concentrations as low as 1 μM. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) analyses of cells exposed to 10 μM TCS showed substantial redistribution of enhancer regions (marked by H3K27ac). Motif enrichment analysis identified TCF12 as the most significantly affected transcription factor among five differentially enriched factors. Further investigation demonstrated that TCS exposure upregulated both TCF12 and its target gene RASSF8. The functional relationship between these factors was confirmed through TCF12 knockdown experiments, which decreased RASSF8 expression and partially reversed TCS-induced migration inhibition. Luciferase reporter assays verified direct binding of TCF12 to the RASSF8 promoter region. This study reveals a novel TCF12-RASSF8 signaling pathway mediating TCS-induced trophoblast migration impairment, providing molecular insights into the reproductive toxicity of this common antimicrobial agent and identifying potential intervention targets for TCS-induced reproductive complications.
期刊介绍:
Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT), an internationally renowned journal, that publishes original research articles and reviews on toxic effects, in animals and humans, of natural or synthetic chemicals occurring in the human environment with particular emphasis on food, drugs, and chemicals, including agricultural and industrial safety, and consumer product safety. Areas such as safety evaluation of novel foods and ingredients, biotechnologically-derived products, and nanomaterials are included in the scope of the journal. FCT also encourages submission of papers on inter-relationships between nutrition and toxicology and on in vitro techniques, particularly those fostering the 3 Rs.
The principal aim of the journal is to publish high impact, scholarly work and to serve as a multidisciplinary forum for research in toxicology. Papers submitted will be judged on the basis of scientific originality and contribution to the field, quality and subject matter. Studies should address at least one of the following:
-Adverse physiological/biochemical, or pathological changes induced by specific defined substances
-New techniques for assessing potential toxicity, including molecular biology
-Mechanisms underlying toxic phenomena
-Toxicological examinations of specific chemicals or consumer products, both those showing adverse effects and those demonstrating safety, that meet current standards of scientific acceptability.
Authors must clearly and briefly identify what novel toxic effect (s) or toxic mechanism (s) of the chemical are being reported and what their significance is in the abstract. Furthermore, sufficient doses should be included in order to provide information on NOAEL/LOAEL values.
