■为了探索药品和个人护理产品(PPCPs)的视网膜毒性,阻燃剂,双酚,邻苯二甲酸酯,和多环芳烃(PAHs)对人视网膜祖细胞(RPCs)和视网膜色素上皮细胞(RPE),它们是视网膜发育早期的主要细胞类型,对于随后的功能细胞类型分化至关重要,与视网膜疾病密切相关。
■分化23天后,基于人类胚胎干细胞(hESC)的视网膜前器官,含有RPCs和RPE细胞,暴露于10、100和1000nM农药(丁草胺,terbutryn,吡虫啉,溴氰菊酯,二甲戊灵,和西维因),阻燃剂(全氟辛烷磺酸,TBBPA,DBDPE,和TDCIPP),PPCPs(维巴唑和BHT),和其他典型污染物(菲,DCHP,和BPA)七天。然后,监测并比较mRNA表达变化。
■1)选定的污染物在环境和人类相关浓度下均未显示出强影响,尽管阻燃剂的效果比其他类别的化学品更有效。令人惊讶的是,一些具有不同结构的污染物表现出类似的不利影响。2)暴露于污染物诱导不同程度的细胞脱离,可能是由于细胞外基质(ECM)和/或细胞粘附的改变。
■在这项研究中,我们建立了一种适用于评估多种污染物影响的视网膜前器官模型,并指出了阻燃剂潜在的视网膜毒性,在其他污染物中。然而,毒性的潜在机制和对细胞脱离的影响仍不清楚,值得进一步探索。此外,该模型有望筛选旨在减轻这些污染物有害影响的干预措施.
UNASSIGNED: To explore the retinal toxicity of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), flame retardants, bisphenols, phthalates, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on human retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, which are the primary cell types at the early stages of retinal development, vital for subsequent functional cell type differentiation, and closely related to retinal diseases.
UNASSIGNED: After 23 days of differentiation, human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-based retinal pre-organoids, containing RPCs and RPE cells, were exposed to 10, 100, and 1000 nM pesticides (butachlor, terbutryn, imidacloprid, deltamethrin, pendimethalin, and carbaryl), flame retardants (PFOS, TBBPA, DBDPE, and TDCIPP), PPCPs (climbazole and BHT), and other typical pollutants (phenanthrene, DCHP, and BPA) for seven days. Then, mRNA expression changes were monitored and compared.
UNASSIGNED: (1) The selected pollutants did not show strong effects at environmental and human-relevant concentrations, although the effects of flame retardants were more potent than those of other categories of chemicals. Surprisingly, some pollutants with distinct structures showed similar adverse effects. (2) Exposure to pollutants induced different degrees of cell detachment, probably due to alterations in extracellular matrix and/or cell adhesion.
UNASSIGNED: In this study, we established a retinal pre-organoid model suitable for evaluating multiple pollutants\' effects, and pointed out the potential retinal toxicity of flame retardants, among other pollutants. Nevertheless, the potential mechanisms of toxicity and the effects on cell detachment are still unclear and deserve further exploration. Additionally, this model holds promise for screening interventions aimed at mitigating the detrimental effects of these pollutants.
