Reprod Toxicol 2025; 135:108909. [PMID: 40250572 DOI: 10.1016/j.reprotox.2025.108909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2024] [Revised: 03/23/2025] [Accepted: 04/09/2025] [Indexed: 04/20/2025]
Abstract
This research was designed to study the carcinogenic mechanisms of BPA on ovarian epithelial cells. For four months, mice were treated with low (LD, 1 mg/kg) and high (HD, 5 mg/kg of body weight) doses of BPA on alternate days through oral gavage; the control group was given corn oil through gavaging during 4 months. The histopathological data suggest that repeated BPA administration induces a borderline epithelial neoplasm with altered epithelial morphology with branching papillae. Various epithelial cells (ECs) in ovaries were identified by flow cytometry based on anti-mouse CD74 and podoplanin (PDPL) receptors expression. Three different populations of ovarian epithelial cells were identified: epithelial cells type 1 (PDPL+CD74-,EC1), epithelial cells type 2 (PDPL-CD74+, EC2), and transition epithelial cells (PDPL+CD74+, TEC). The EC1 decreased, but EC2 was increased in BPA-exposed mice. The population of TEC was comparable to that in the control group at the low dose (LD) but decreased in the high dose (HD) BPA-treated groups. A significant increase in PDPL, CD74 receptor expression and apoptosis and necrosis in BPA-treated ovarian cells was seen. The RT-qPCR results suggest that the relative expression levels of pro-apoptotic (Bax and Casp3) and anti-apoptotic Cytc were markedly decreased, but Bcl2 expression was increased. The anti-inflammatory (IFN-γ, TNF-α, TGF-β, IL-6) gene expression was reduced, but NF-kB expression was increased. Hypoxia regulator (Hif-1α and Nrf2) and tumour suppressor genes (p53 and p21) were also decreased. Thus, BPA exposure changes EC diversity, induces mortality and alters antioxidant, apoptotic and inflammatory gene expression in ovary.

Abstract
In recent years, the escalating global utilization of bisphenol S (BPS) has raised growing concerns regarding its potential adverse effects on human health. However, the effects of BPS exposure on mammalian embryonic development and the associated molecular mechanisms remain inadequately characterized. In this study, we systematically investigated BPS toxicity in mouse embryogenesis by exposing embryos to graded concentrations (0-25 μg/mL). Our results demonstrated a dose-dependent impairment in early embryonic quality following BPS exposure. Specifically, treatment with 10 μg/mL and 15 μg/mL BPS significantly reduced blastocyst formation rates, diminished implantation potential, decreased total cell number of blastocysts, and caused cell fate determination imbalance. Mechanistic studies revealed that under BPS exposure, the massive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in embryos induced cell cycle arrest and enhanced autophagy. It is worth noting that the reduction in the total cell number within blastocysts under BPS exposure manifested independently of the apoptotic pathway, as evidenced by the absence of upregulation in caspase 3/7 activity levels and TUNEL-positive signals. Our data collectively reveal that BPS disrupts early embryogenesis through ROS-driven cell cycle dysregulation and erroneous cell fate determination, culminating in compromised blastocyst developmental competence. This research unveils previously unrecognized mechanisms underlying BPS embryotoxicity, emphasizing essential parameters for evaluating chemical reproductive hazards in safety assessments.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2025; 487:137166. [PMID: 39799675 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2025.137166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2024] [Revised: 12/30/2024] [Accepted: 01/08/2025] [Indexed: 01/15/2025]
Abstract
Bisphenol S (BPS) is a widely detected environmental toxin with the potential to increase the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the effects of BPS on the progression of high fat diet (HFD)-induced NAFLD remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the role and underlying mechanisms of action of BPS in HFD-induced NAFLD. Our results showed that BPS exposure (50 and 500 μg/kg bodyweight/day) promoted the progression of NAFLD, which was evidenced by increased liver/body weight ratio, elevated serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels, and more and larger lipid droplets in liver tissues. These phenomena were accompanied by abnormal expression levels of fatty acid uptake (Cd36), fatty acid synthesis (Pparγ, Scd-1, and Fasn), fatty acid oxidation (Pparα), and cytokines (TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-6). In vitro and in vivo studies showed that BPS exposure caused hepatic ferroptosis by regulating ferroptosis-related markers (GPX4, xCT, FTH, and ACSL4). Moreover, BPS exposure caused ROS overproduction, mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid peroxidation, and GSH suppression, all of which were restored by ferrostatin-1, a ferroptosis inhibitor. Moreover, BPS significantly upregulated HMGCS2 expression in the hepatocytes and liver tissues. 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A synthetase 2 (HMGCS2) knockdown mitigated the effects of BPS on hepatocytes and reversed the expression of ferroptosis-related markers. Thus, BPS exposure aggravates HFD-induced NAFLD by regulating HMGCS2-mediated ferroptosis. Collectively, our study indicates that BPS exposure at environmentally relevant concentrations may aggravate NAFLD phenotypes under HFD conditions, highlighting the health risks of BPS to the liver.

Abstract
Humans are exposed to a range of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Many studies demonstrate that exposures to EDCs during critical windows of development can permanently affect endocrine health outcomes. Most experimental studies address changes in secretion of hormones produced by gonads, thyroid gland and adrenals, and little is known about the ability of EDCs to produce long-term changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary (HP) control axes. Here, we examined the long-term effects of three common EDCs on male mouse HP gene expression, following developmental exposures. Pregnant mice were exposed to 0.2 mg/ml solutions of bisphenol S (BPS), 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47), or 3,3',5,5'-tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) from pregnancy day 8 through lactation day 21 (weaning day). Male offspring were left untreated until postnatal day 140, where pituitaries and hypothalami were collected. Pituitaries were assed for gene expression via RNA sequencing, while specific genes were assessed for expression in hypothalami via RT-qPCR. Differential expression, as well as gene enrichment and pathway analysis, indicated that all three chemicals induced long-term changes, (mostly suppression) in pituitary genes involved in its endocrine function. BPS and BDE-47 produced effects overlapping significantly at the level of effected genes and pathways. All three chemicals altered pathways of gonad and liver HP axes, while BPS altered HP-adrenal and BDE-47 altered HP-thyroid pathways specifically. All three chemicals reduced expression of immune genes in the pituitaries. Targeted gene expression in the hypothalamus indicates down regulation of hypothalamic endocrine control genes by BPS and BDE-47 groups, concordant with changes in the pituitary, suggesting that these chemicals suppress overall HP endocrine function. Interestingly, all three chemicals altered pituitary genes of GPCR-mediated intracellular signaling molecules, key signalers common to many pituitary responses to hormones. The results of this study show that developmental exposures to common EDCs have long-term impacts on hormonal feedback control at the hypothalamic-pituitary level.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a vital raw material used to manufacture various household and commercial goods. However, BPA is a contaminant of emerging concern (CEC) and an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) capable of migrating and bio-accumulating in environmental and biological compartments. At threshold levels, they become toxic causing adverse health and environmental issues. BPA's occurrence in food, food contact materials (FCMs), beverages, water, cosmetics, consumer goods, soil, sediments, and human/biological fluids across Africa was outlined. Unlike most reviews, it further collated data on BPA remediation techniques, including the human and ecological risk assessment studies conducted across Africa. A systematic scrutiny of the major indexing databases was employed extracting relevant data for this study. Results reveal that only 10 out of 54 countries have researched BPA in Africa. BPA levels in water were the most investigated, whereas levels in cosmetics and consumer goods were the least studied. Maximum BPA concentrations found in Africa were 3,590,000 ng/g (cosmetic and consumer goods), 154,820,000 ng/g (soils), 189 ng/mL (water), 1139 ng/g (food), and 208.55 ng/mL (biological fluids). The optimum percentage removal/degradation of BPA was within 70-100%. The potential health and ecological risk levels were assessed by comparing them with recommended limits and were found to fall within safe/low risks to unsafe/high risks. In conclusion, this study revealed that there is still little research on BPA in Africa. Levels detected in some matrices call for increased research, stricter health and environmental regulations, and surveillance.

Abstract
Neurogenesis occurs throughout life in the hippocampus of the brain, and many environmental toxicants inhibit neural stem cell (NSC) function and neuronal generation. Bisphenol-A (BPA), an endocrine disrupter used for surface coating of plastic products causes injury in the developing and adult brain; thus, many countries have banned its usage in plastic consumer products. BPA analogs/alternatives such as bisphenol-F (BPF) and bisphenol-S (BPS) may also cause neurotoxicity; however, their effects on neurogenesis are still not known. We studied the effects of BPF and BPS exposure from gestational day 6 to postnatal day 21 on neurogenesis. We found that exposure to non-cytotoxic concentrations of BPF and BPS significantly decreased the number/size of neurospheres, BrdU+ (proliferating NSC marker) and MAP-2+ (neuronal marker) cells and GFAP+ astrocytes in the hippocampus NSC culture, suggesting reduced NSC stemness and self-renewal and neuronal differentiation and increased gliogenesis. These analogs also reduced the number of BrdU/Sox-2+, BrdU/Dcx+, and BrdU/NeuN+ co-labeled cells in the hippocampus of the rat brain, suggesting decreased NSC proliferation and impaired maturation of newborn neurons. BPF and BPS treatment increases BrdU/cleaved caspase-3+ cells and Bax-2 and cleaved caspase protein levels, leading to increased apoptosis in hippocampal NSCs. Transmission electron microscopy studies suggest that BPF and BPS also caused degeneration of neuronal myelin sheath, altered mitochondrial morphology, and reduced number of synapses in the hippocampus leading to altered cognitive functions. These results suggest that BPF and BPS exposure decreased the NSC pool, inhibited neurogenesis, induced apoptosis of NSCs, caused myelin degeneration/synapse degeneration, and impaired learning and memory in rats.

Abstract
Bisphenols, such as bisphenol A and its analogs, which include bisphenol S, bisphenol F, bisphenol AF, and tetramethyl bisphenol F, are chemical contaminants commonly found in food that raise serious health concerns. These xenobiotics can potentially have harmful effects on human health. The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in metabolizing and neutralizing these substances, which is essential for their detoxification and elimination. Probiotic supplementation has been studied for its ability to modulate the gut microbiota's composition and function, enhancing detoxification processes. Next-Generation Probiotics (NGPs) may exhibit better properties than traditional strains and are designed for targeted action on specific conditions, such as obesity. By modulating inflammatory responses and reducing the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, they can significantly improve host health. Research on NGPs' ability to neutralize obesogenic bisphenols remains limited, but their potential makes this a promising area for future exploration. This review aims to understand the mechanisms of the chemical transformation of bisphenol through its interactions with the gut microbiota and the role of probiotics, particularly NGPs, in these processes. Understanding the interplay between bisphenols, gut microbiota, and NGPs may pave the way for strategies to counteract the negative health effects associated with daily and chronic exposure to bisphenols, which is crucial for food safety and consumer health protection.

Abstract
Background Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disrupter affecting glucose homeostasis. Objectives This study aimed to investigate BPA's relationship with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) in Dakahlia Governorate's children, in Egypt. Subjects materials and methods The study had two parts: clinical and experimental. Clinical Study was conducted on 200 children, equally divided into control and T1DM groups. They underwent: demographic data, height, weight, body mass index, glycosylated HbA1C, random blood glucose, and urinary BPA measurements. Experimental Study was conducted on 60 adult albino rats. Rats were randomly divided into three equal groups: control group: received 0.5 mL of pure olive oil, group 1: received 20 mg/kg/day BPA, and group 2: received 100 mg/kg/day BPA orally for 6 weeks. Fasting and two hours postprandial glucose levels were measured at the beginning and end of the study. Histopathological examination and imaging study of the pancreas were done. Results In clinical study: HbA1C and random blood glucose levels in diabetic children showed a significant increase compared to control. Children in control group showed controlled HbA1C, while the T1DM group showed 86% with poor diabetic control. There was a significant increase in BPA level in the T1DM group compared to the control. Rats that received BPA showed a marked increase in fasting and two hours postprandial glucose levels, histopathological changes in the pancreas with more changes determined in the high dose group, and a significant decrease in the islets of Langerhans diameters with group 2 more affected. Conclusion So, BPA exposure could be considered a risk factor for T1DM in children.

We investigated the effects of BPS exposure at environmentally relevant concentrations (1 μg/L, 10 μg/L and 100 μg/L) for 48 h on androgen synthesis in rat ovarian theca cells and explored the underlying mechanisms, target site and target molecule. The results showed that BPS exposure inhibited the transcript levels of steroidogenic genes and reduced the contents of androgen precursors, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. BPS exposure decreased the phosphorylation levels of extracellular signal-related kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), and the inhibitory effects of BPS on testosterone content and steroidogenic gene expression were blocked by ERK1/2 agonist LY2828360, suggesting that ERK1/2 signaling pathway mediates the inhibitory effects of BPS on androgen synthesis. BPS mainly accumulated on the cell membrane, impermeable BPS-bovine serum albumin exposure still inhibited androgen synthesis, BPS interacted with rat luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) via formation of hydrogen bonds in the transmembrane region, and the inhibitory effects of BPS on ERK1/2 phosphorylation were blocked by luteinizing hormone (the natural agonist of LHR), indicating that LHR located on the cell membrane is the target of action of BPS. This paper provides a new elucidation of the mechanism of anti-androgenicity of BPS, especially for the non-genomic pathways.

Abstract
Estrogens have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various cancers, with increasing concern regarding the overall rising incidence of disease and exposure to environmental estrogens. Estrogens, both endogenous and environmental, manifest their actions through intracellular and plasma membrane receptors, named ERα, ERβ, and GPER. Collectively, they act to promote a broad transcriptional response that is mediated through multiple regulatory enhancers, including estrogen response elements (EREs), serum response elements (SREs), and cyclic AMP response elements (CREs). Yet, the design and rational assignment of antiestrogen therapy for breast cancer has strictly relied upon an endogenous estrogen-ER binary rubric that does not account for environmental estrogens or GPER. New endocrine therapies have focused on the development of drugs that degrade ER via ER complex destabilization or direct enzymatic ubiquitination. However, these new approaches do not broadly treat all cancer-involved receptors, including GPER. The latter is concerning since GPER is directly associated with tumor size, distant metastases, cancer stem cell activity, and endocrine resistance, indicating the importance of targeting this receptor to achieve a more complete therapeutic response. This review focuses on the critical importance and value of GPER-targeted therapeutics as part of a more holistic approach to the treatment of estrogen-driven malignancies.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical with large-scale applications in the manufacturing of industrial products. Concerns have been raised regarding human exposure to BPA and dietary consumption is the main route of exposure. BPA is recognised as an endocrine disruptor with multiple adverse effects on the reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. This study aimed to conduct a probabilistic risk assessment to evaluate the human health risk based on the raw concentration data (N = 1266) of BPA in non-canned meat and meat products purchased from supermarkets and local butchers in Dublin and the surrounding area. The mean exposure levels for BPA in non-canned meat and meat products, fresh meat, and processed meat products among children were 0.019, 0.0022, and 0.015 μg (kg bw)-1 day-1, respectively. Therefore, simulated human exposures to BPA were far below the EFSA recommended current temporary tolerable daily intake (t-TDI) of 4 μg (kg bw)-1 day-1. However recently, the EFSA has proposed a draft TDI of 0.04 ng (kg bw)-1 day-1 to replace the current t-TDI. Hence, our results indicated potential health concerns as the estimated exposure levels (5th-95th percentile) were below current t-TDI but above draft TDIs. Further investigation into the source of BPA contamination in processed meat products is highly recommended. The research presented here will inform the public, meat producers and processors, and policymakers on potential exposure to BPA.

Abstract
To test the hypothesis that migration from the thermal labels on plastic film packaging is a major source of exposure to bisphenols and alternative color developers in food, we analyzed 140 packaging materials from packaged fresh food purchased in North America. No bisphenol A (BPA) was detected in either the packaging samples or thermal labels. However, significant amounts of bisphenol S (BPS) and alternative color developers (up to 214 μg/cm2) were present in thermal labels; their relative occurrence varied among stores. In a controlled experiment, we wrapped fish in film with a thermal label for 5 days at 4 °C. The fish in contact with the label contained BPS (≤1140 ng/g wet weight [ww]), 4-hydroxyphenyl 4-isoprooxyphenylsulfone (D-8) (≤230 ng/g ww), bis(2-chloroethyl)ether-4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl sulfone monomer (D-90) (≤3.41 ng/g ww), and/or Pergafast-201 (≤1.87 ng/g ww). The corresponding film samples were then tested using migration cells for 10 days; significantly higher BPS migration was observed systematically from the films with thermal labels compared to plain films. This study provides evidence, for the first time, that BPS and alternative thermal label color developers migrate from packaging materials into food. Further, BPS migration significantly exceeded the European Union Specific Migration Limit (50 ng/g ww), suggesting that further risk assessment studies are warranted.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical that is widely used in various industrial applications. It has concerns in its use as a color developer in thermal paper receipts since it is identified as an endocrine disruptor and causes hormonal disturbances. In this study, thirty thermal paper receipt samples were randomly collected from various locations in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates and analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Sixty percent (60%) of receipt samples showed BPA levels above the acceptable limit (200 ng/mg) set by the European Union (EU) for thermal papers. On the other hand, 40% of the samples reported very low BPA levels (< 0.02 ng/mg). However, estimated weight adjusted daily intakes (EDI) ranged between 8.22 ×10-11 and 0.000812 μg/kg bw/day for the general population, and between 7.89×10-9 and 0.0681 μg/kg bw/day for the occupationally exposed cashiers. Thus, all calculated EDIs were below the European Food Safety Authority Tolerable Daily Intake (4 μg/kg·bw/day) and the provisional Health Canada Tolerable Daily Intake (25 ug/kg bw/day) under varying paper-to-skin transfer coefficients and absorption fractions. Nevertheless, due to its health effects and recent legal restrictions by EU, the occurrence of co-exposure to dietary and non-dietary sources should be considered in the health risk assessment of Bisphenol A, mainly for people with frequent occupational exposure to thermal paper, and especially with the increased use of sanitizers. The current study is a first within the UAE context in relation to BPA in thermal paper receipts, thus its significance especially with the recent EU enforcement of BPA limits in paper receipts. The study highlights that proper policies as well as education and awareness may assist in limiting transdermal BPA exposure for the general and occupationally exposed populations.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol S (BPS) have replaced bisphenol A (BPA) in the manufacturing of products containing polycarbonates and epoxy resins; however, the effects of these substitutes on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, heart attack, and stroke, have not been assessed.
Objective
To examine the association of urinary BPS and BPF with CVD risk in a U.S. representative U.S. population.
Methods
Cross-sectional data from 1267 participants aged 20–80 years from the 2013–2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analyzed. Survey-weighted multiple logistic regression was used to assess the association between BPA, BPF, BPS and CVD. The Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) model was applied to assess the mixture effect.
Results
A total of 138 patients with CVD were identified. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the T3 tertile concentration of BPS increased the risk of total CVD (OR: 1.99, 95% CI 1.16–3.40). When stratified by age, we found that BPS increased the risk of CVD in the 50–80 age group (OR: 1.40, 95% CI 1.05–1.87). BPS was positively associated with the risk of coronary heart disease, and the T3 tertile concentration of BPS increased the coronary heart disease risk by 2.22 times (95% CI 1.04–4.74). No significant association was observed between BPF and CVD. Although the BKMR model did not identify the mixed exposure effect of BPS, the risk of CVD increased with increasing compound concentration.
Conclusion
Our results suggest that BPS may increase the risk of total CVD and coronary heart disease in the US population, and prospective studies are needed to confirm the results.

Exposure to Bisphenol A Substitutes, Bisphenol S and Bisphenol F, and Its Association with Developing Obesity and Diabetes Mellitus: A Narrative Review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:15918.

Abstract
Bisphenol A, a well-known endocrine-disrupting chemical, has been replaced with its analogs bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol F (BPF) over the last decade due to health concerns. BPS and BPF are present in relatively high concentrations in different products, such as food products, personal care products, and sales receipts. Both BPS and BPF have similar structural and chemical properties to BPA; therefore, considerable scientific efforts have investigated the safety of their exposure. In this review, we summarize the findings of relevant epidemiological studies investigating the association between urinary concentrations of BPS and/or BPF with the incidence of obesity or diabetes. The results showed that BPS and BPF were detected in many urinary samples at median concentrations ranging from 0.03 to 0.4 µg·L-1. At this exposure level, BPS median urinary concentrations (0.4 µg·L-1) were associated with the development of obesity. At a lower exposure level (0.1-0.03 µg·L-1), two studies showed an association with developing diabetes. For BPF exposure, only one study showed an association with obesity. However, most of the reported studies only assessed BPS exposure levels. Furthermore, we also summarize the findings of experimental studies in vivo and in vitro regarding our aim; results support the possible obesogenic effects/metabolic disorders mediated by BPS and/or BPF exposure. Unexpectedly, BPS may promote worse obesogenic effects than BPA. In addition, the possible mode of action underlying the obesogenic effects of BPS might be attributed to various pathophysiological mechanisms, including estrogenic or androgenic activities, alterations in the gene expression of critical adipogenesis-related markers, and induction of oxidative stress and an inflammatory state. Furthermore, susceptibility to the adverse effects of BPS may be altered by sex differences according to the results of both epidemiological and experimental studies. However, the possible mode of action underlying these sex differences is still unclear. In conclusion, exposure to BPS or BPF may promote the development of obesity and diabetes. Future approaches are highly needed to assess the safety of BPS and BPF regarding their potential effects in promoting metabolic disturbances. Other studies in different populations and settings are highly suggested.

Abstract
Bisphenol S (BPS) is increasingly being used as an alternative for bisphenol A; however, its health effects remain unclear. We investigated the effects of oral exposure to low-dose BPS on allergic asthma. C3H/HeJ male mice were intratracheally administered with allergen (ovalbumin (OVA), 1 μg/animal) every 2 weeks from 6 to 11 weeks old. BPS was ingested by drinking water at doses equivalent to 0.04, 0.4, and 4 μg/kg/day. We then examined pulmonary inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness, serum OVA-specific immunoglobulin (Ig) levels, Th2 cytokine/chemokine production, and mediastinal lymph node (MLN) cell activities. Compared with OVA alone, moderate-dose BPS (BPS-M) with OVA significantly enhanced pulmonary inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness, and OVA-specific IgE and IgG1. Furthermore, interleukin (IL)-5, IL-13, IL-33, and CCL11/Eotaxin protein levels in the lungs increased. Conversely, these allergic responses were reduced in the high-dose BPS+OVA group. In MLN cells, BPS-M with OVA increased the total cell count and activated antigen-presenting cells including conventional dendritic cell subset (cDC2). After OVA restimulation, cell proliferation and Th2 cytokine production (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) in the culture supernatant also increased. Therefore, oral exposure to low-dose BPS may exacerbate allergic asthmatic responses by enhancing Th2-polarized responses and activating the MLN cells.

Abstract
The global use of bisphenol S (BPS) has now been significantly increased for commensurate utilization as a substitute for BPA for its regulatory concerns. Though, previous reports indicated that BPS been also appeared as a toxic congener comparable to BPA. In the present study, we determined nephrotoxicity condition induced due to BPS exposure. Results indicated that BPS significantly promoted histopathological disturbance in the kidney, and altered the levels of biomarkers of kidney damage in serum and urine samples of Wistar rats. It is also indicated that BPS altered the expression of kidney damage biomarkers associated with glomerular and tubular injury. Additionally, we determined the perturbation of kidney metabolites in the underlying pathophysiological response of kidney injury due to BPS exposure. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry based untargeted metabolomics exhibited 20 significantly perturbed metabolites. Moreover, metabolic pathway analysis revealed significant disturbance in the TCA cycle and pyruvate metabolism pathways.

Russo G, Laneri S, Di Lorenzo R, Ferrara L, Grumetto L. The occurrence of selected endocrine-disrupting chemicals in water and sediments from an urban lagoon in Southern Italy. WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2021; 93:1944-1958. [PMID: 33794056 DOI: 10.1002/wer.1566] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2020] [Revised: 02/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are agents able to exert perturbation toward the endocrine system via a broad array of signalling pathways. Some EDCs are released into the environment as a result of antropogenic activities. Analytical surveillance plays a critical role in investigating the prevalence of such chemicals in environmental samples. A study was carried out in a lagoon in Southern Italy, a water basin relates to the sea through a mouth channel, making this water body a "dynamic environment". The screening of fourteen EDCs in surface waters and sediments, includes a fast and cost-effective sample preparation, based on a solid-liquid (sediments) and liquid-liquid (surface waters) extraction and a chromatographic analysis by liquid chromatography tandem UV and fluorescence detection. Only four chemicals out the fourteen investigated EDCs were detected in both matrices with a frequency higher than 60%. The average concentrations of the single EDC were higher in sediments (730-155.000 ng kg-1 dw) than in surface waters (132-28.000 ng L-1 ). Limited to the assayed EDCs, the ecosystem has a low risk regarding to the conservation of biodiversity of the animal species living thereby, since the total estrogenic activity does not exceed 1 ng L-1 . PRACTITIONER POINTS: Occurrence of selected EDCs was investigated in an Italian lagoon in Southern Italy. BPAF, BADGE, and BPA were the most frequently and highly detected compounds in both waters and sediments. Concentration levels were greater in the sediment than in water samples. Low risk for the ecosystem biodiversity concerning investigated EDCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allergic diseases are one of the most common and important diseases that can exert hazardous effects on children's health. The prevalence of allergic diseases in childhood is gradually increasing all over the world in recent decades. Known causes of these diseases include anomalous immune responses and allergic inflammatory reactions, but the causes of allergic diseases in childhood are complex. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and Web of Science were searched for articles focusing on environmental exposure during pregnancy and the risk of childhood allergic diseases, including asthma and atopic dermatitis, and the possible underlying mechanism. RESULTS In terms of environmental factors, allergic diseases in childhood are closely related to environmental chemical exposure during pregnancy, including bisphenols, phthalates acid esters, perfluorochemicals, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and polychlorinated biphenyls. However, allergic diseases in childhood are also closely associated with maternal dietary nutrition, maternal intake of drugs, such as acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), paracetamol and antibiotics, and maternal lifestyle. CONCLUSIONS Several harmful environmental factors during pregnancy can result in the interruption of the function of helper T cells (Th1/Th2), cytokines and immunoglobulins and may activate allergic reactions, which can lead to allergic diseases during childhood.

Breast cancer proliferation and deterioration-associated metabolic heterogeneity changes induced by exposure of bisphenol S, a widespread replacement of bisphenol A. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 414:125391.

Abstract
Exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) is considered to be associated with the increased incidence of breast cancer. As a widespread replacement of BPA, the effect of bisphenol S (BPS) on breast tumor programming has not been studied. We reported that BPS exposure significantly promoted proliferation and deterioration of breast tumor by nonmonotonic dose response. The mechanisms were investigated by molecular biology and mass spectrometry-based lipidomics, proteomics and imaging. BPS exposure induced the spatially intratumor heterogeneity of morphology-driven lipids and proteins. The more significant proliferation resulted from BPS-10 (10 μg/kg body weight /day) exposure was evidenced by the variations of spatial distribution of lipids related to ceramide-sphingomyelin signaling pathway, proteins related to chromosomal stability and cell proliferation in central necrotic regions of breast tumor. In contrast, the BPS-100 exposure obviously accelerated deterioration of breast tumor by the variations of spatial distribution of proteins that were associated with the stability of nucleic acid structure in peripheral neoplastic regions. Accordingly, dysregulation of metabolism and protein function as well as DNA methylation and hypoxic tumor microenvironment could be applied to predict the possibility of tumorigenesis, proliferation and metastasis that might be caused by other bisphenol analogs.

BIOSENSORS 2021; 11:231.

Abstract
One of the most important chemicals used in the production of polymer plastics and coatings is bisphenol A. However, despite the large number of studies on the toxicity and hormonal activity of BPA, there are still open questions and thus considerable media attention regarding BPA toxicity. Hence, it is necessary to develop a sensitive, simple, cost-efficient, specific, portable, and rapid method for monitoring bisphenol A and for high sample throughput and on-site screening analysis. Lateral flow immunoassays have potential as rapid tests for on-site screening. To meet sensitivity criteria, they must be carefully optimized. A latex microparticle-based LFIA for detection of BPA was developed. The sensitivity of the assay was improved by non-contact printing of spot grids as the control and test lines with careful parameter optimization. Results of the test could be visually evaluated within 10 min with a visual cut-off of 10 µg/L (vLOD). Alternatively, photographs were taken, and image analysis performed to set up a calibration, which allowed for a calculated limit of detection (cLOD) of 0.14 µg/L. The method was validated for thermal paper samples against ELISA and LC-MS/MS as reference methods, showing good agreement with both methods.

Exposure to alternative bisphenols BPS and BPF through breast milk: Noxious heritage effect during nursing associated with idiopathic infertility. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2021; 413:115409. [PMID: 33476676 DOI: 10.1016/j.taap.2021.115409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2020] [Revised: 01/08/2021] [Accepted: 01/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
There is increasing evidence that bisphenols BPS and BPF, which are analogues of BPA, have deleterious effects on reproduction even at extremely low doses. Indirect exposure via the maternal route (i.e. across the placenta and/or by breastfeeding) is underestimated, although it can be assumed to be a cause of idiopathic female infertility. Therefore, we hypothesised the deleterious effects of exposure to BPA analogues during breastfeeding on the ovarian and oocyte quality of offspring. A 15-day exposure period of pups was designed, whilst nursing dams (N ≥ 6 per experimental group) were treated via drinking water with a low (0.2 ng/g body weight/day) or moderate (20 ng/g body weight/day) dose of bisphenol, mimicking real exposure in humans. Thereafter, female pups were bred to 60 days and oocytes were collected. Immature oocytes were used in the in-vitro maturation assay; alternatively, in-vivo-matured oocytes were isolated and used for parthenogenetic activation. Both in-vitro- and in-vivo-matured oocytes were subjected to immunostaining of spindle microtubules (α-tubulin) and demethylation of histone H3 on the lysine K27 (H3K27me2) residue. Although very low doses of both BPS and BPF did not affect the quality of ovarian histology, spindle formation and epigenetic signs were affected. Notably, in-vitro-matured oocytes were significantly sensitive to both doses of BPS and BPF. Although no significant differences in spindle-chromatin quality were identified in ovulated and in-vivo-matured oocytes, developmental competence was significantly damaged. Taken together, our mouse model provides evidence that bisphenol analogues represent a risk to human reproduction, possibly leading to idiopathic infertility in women.

Exposure of Slovenian children and adolescents to bisphenols, parabens and triclosan: Urinary levels, exposure patterns, determinants of exposure and susceptibility. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2021; 146:106172. [PMID: 33113465 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2020.106172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2020] [Revised: 08/21/2020] [Accepted: 09/30/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Chemicals such as bisphenols, parabens and triclosan are endocrine disrupting chemicals. They are used in a wide variety of consumer products, making human exposure to those chemicals widespread. In the present study, levels of three bisphenols (bisphenol A, F and S), 7 parabens (methyl-, ethyl-, isopropyl-, propyl-, isobutyl-, butyl-, benzyl paraben) and triclosan were measured in first morning void from 246 Slovenian children and adolescents, aged 6-9 and 11-15 years and living in a rural region of Slovenia. Median levels of specific-gravity corrected levels for bisphenol A, bisphenol F, methyl paraben and ethyl paraben were 1.9, 0.085, 5.4 and 2.5 µg/L for children and 1.6, 0.11, 7.2 and 6.0 µg/L for adolescents, respectively. Median levels for all other endocrine disrupting chemicals were < LOQ. The levels are comparable with the levels reported in studies across the world. Exposure was age, sex, and location specific. Higher levels of bisphenol F and ethyl paraben were found in the samples of adolescents, while higher levels of methyl paraben were found in samples from girls. Furthermore, individuals living in one of the sampling locations, Goričko, were exposed to higher levels of bisphenol F and ethyl paraben than those in the remaining two sampling locations. Information about participants' dietary habits, use of food packaging and personal care products was obtained through questionnaires, and used to investigate associations between urinary levels of the biomarkers and potential exposure sources. High fat foods were associated with bisphenol A exposure, and cosmetics items such as lipstick and perfume with methyl paraben exposure. Significant correlation between methyl- and propyl paraben was observed in children's samples, suggesting similar exposure sources, while other compounds were not largely correlated, indicating independent sources. Furthermore, association between a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in UGT2B15 gene and urinary levels of methyl and ethyl paraben was observed, showing the role of UGT2B15 isoform in methyl and ethyl paraben metabolism as well as indicating the SNP rs1902023 as a potential biomarker of susceptibility to adverse effects caused by the exposure. The present study reports exposure of children and adolescents in Slovenia to a wide range of different endocrine disrupting chemicals for the first time, connecting it to exposure patterns and exposure sources. The study is to the authors' knowledge the first that investigates direct connection between levels of urinary endocrine disrupting chemical biomarkers and genetic polymorphism in UGT2B15.

Risk assessment of predicted serum concentrations of bisphenol A in children and adults following treatment with dental composite restoratives, dental sealants, or orthodontic adhesives using physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling. Regul Toxicol Pharmacol 2020; 120:104839. [PMID: 33301868 DOI: 10.1016/j.yrtph.2020.104839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2020] [Revised: 10/26/2020] [Accepted: 12/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical used to manufacture bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate (BisGMA). BisGMA has been used for decades in dental composite restoratives, sealants, and adhesives. Based on published studies, exposure to low concentrations of BPA are possible from dental and orthodontic devices. The serum BPA concentrations arising from such devices and oral doses were predicted using a PBPK model in children and adult females based on 1) published extraction data for cured and uncured 3M ESPE Filtek Supreme Ultra Flowable, 3M ESPE Filtek Bulk Fill Restorative, and 3M ESPE Clinpro Sealant and 2) published 20% ethanol/water and water rinsate data following orthodontic application with 3M ESPE Transbond MIP Primer and 3M ESPE Transbond XT Adhesive. Predicted oral exposure to BPA arising from these dental and orthodontic devices is low (median <10 ng/treatment) and predicted serum BPA concentrations were also low (<10-4 nM). Even the maximum predicted exposure in this study (533.2 ng/treatment) yields a margin of exposure of 7.5 relative to the EFSA t-TDI (4 μg/kg-day) and is only 2.8% of the daily BPA exposure for the US population in a 58-kg woman (15,660 ng/day). Therefore, the exposure to BPA arising from the 3M ESPE dental and orthodontic devices evaluated in this study is negligible relative to daily BPA exposure in the general population and these potential BPA sources do not constitute a risk to patients.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a high production volume chemical that has wide industrial applications, especially as a color developer in thermal papers. The present study focused on the determination of levels of BPA in thermal receipts collected from different locations in Akure, Nigeria, and the estimation of daily intake of BPA through dermal absorption. Thermal receipts were collected from different locations, and the levels of extracted BPA were determined using fluorescence spectroscopy. The daily intake of BPA was estimated, and the amount was compared with the reference value. BPA was detected in all the samples analyzed with levels ranging from 1.50 to 3.16 mg/g. These values were lower than the values detected in thermal receipts obtained from other countries. The estimated mean daily intakes of BPA by dermal absorption due to handling of thermal receipts were 0.20 and 9.89 μg/day for the general population and the occupationally exposed individuals, respectively, and were much lower than the reference value of 50 μg/kg bw/day provided by the European Food Safety Authority. This indicates that dermal exposure to BPA is not a serious health risk to the population.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is used as a color developer in a thermal paper that after a heating process reacts with a leuco dye and changes it to a colored form. Receipts from cash registers are considered as the main source of consumer exposure to bisphenols together with polycarbonates and epoxy resins. Levels of BPA and its possible alternatives were determined in thermal paper samples collected between May 2018 and May 2019 in 22 European and 17 non-European countries on all inhabited continents (220 samples in total, 133 of which were from Europe and 87 from other countries). These measurements were intended to check the level of BPA presence in receipts originating from different countries, especially from Europe in the light of changing regulations restricting its use. The effect of thermal printing on developer content was also analyzed, but no major changes in concentrations of bisphenols were observed during the process. Thus, printed receipts could be used for the determination of bisphenol content. Analysis of receipts from 39 countries has shown that BPA is still the most common compound used around the world with 69% samples containing this color developer. Among other tested bisphenols, BPS was used as a color developer in 20% samples, but it was noted that all samples collected from Japan and the United States of America were found to contain only BPS. Other bisphenols (F, AF, E, and B) considered as possible alternatives for BPA were detected only at trace levels or not detected at all, which showed that they were not used as color developers. The relatively large use of BPS as a BPA substitute is worrying because this compound not only has similar endocrine properties but is also poorly biodegradable. Besides, its relatively high polarity facilitates spreading in the environment.

[PMID: 32334245 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.126715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2020] [Revised: 03/27/2020] [Accepted: 04/04/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Perinatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) contributes to neurological disorders in offspring, but the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. The abnormal release of neuroactive metabolites in the tryptophan (TRP) and dopamine (DA) pathways is considered to be closely associated with some disorders. Thus, in this study, TRP and DA pathways in adult female mouse offspring were investigated when the pregnant mice were given either vehicle or BPA (2, 10, or 100 μg/kg/d) from day 6 of gestation until weaning. Then, the serum and brain samples of offspring were collected at 3, 6 and 9 months, and 12 neuroactive metabolites in the TRP and DA pathways were detected. The results showed that, in the TRP pathway, TRP levels decreased, whereas kynurenine (KYN) levels and TRP turnover increased in the brain. In the serum, TRP, KYN and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels decreased significantly. For the DA pathway, DA and DA metabolites, including 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT) and homovanillic acid (HVA), reduced significantly in the brain and serum. DA turnover decreased dramatically in the brain but enhanced in the serum. The disturbance of these two metabolic pathways might be one of the potential mechanisms of BPA-induced neuropsychiatric disorders.

Abstract
Previous studies highlighted bisphenol S (BPS), an industrial chemical responsible for harmful effects comparable to its congener substance bisphenol A (BPA). Accounted for various adversities to biological functions, it could alter the expression of endogenous metabolites in many metabolic processes. The study was aimed to investigate the altered metabolites in hyperglycemic condition triggered by sub-chronic exposure of BPS in serum and urine samples of Wistar rats. Invaded effects of hyperglycemia due to BPS exposure on Wistar rats were investigated by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT). Metabolomic profiling of serum and urinary metabolites was done by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The metabolomics data were represented by one way ANOVA, principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) along with the mapping of perturbed metabolic pathways. The OGTT and ITT showed increased levels of glucose in treated animals with median and high doses, indicating the manifestation of hyperglycemia. The metabolomic profiling of serum and urine revealed BPS could cause consequential metabolomic perturbation mainly of amino acids, sugars, and organic acids. Furthermore, the extrapolation of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) based systematic analysis helped to monitor the altered pathways, including amino acids, glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism, etc., which were provoked due to BPS exposure. The overview of the perturbed metabolite profiling in rats promisingly showed early diagnostic markers of hyperglycemic condition triggered due to the BPS exposure. Findings from this study will be helpful towards the exploration of mechanistic insights of several disturbed pathways.

Abstract
Epidemiological and animal studies indicate that increased exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) induces various human cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, dilated cardiomyopathy, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. Bisphenol S (BPS), an alternative to BPA, is increasingly present in various consumer products and human bodies worldwide. Recently, emerging evidence has shown that BPS might be related to cardiovascular disorders. In this review, we present striking evidence of the correlation between BPA exposure and various CVDs, and show that a nonmonotonic dose-response curve (NMDRC) was common in studies of the CV effects of BPA in vivo. The CV impairment induced by low doses of BPA should be highlighted, especially during developmental exposure or during coexposure with other risk factors. Furthermore, we explored the possible underlying mechanisms of these effects-particularly nuclear receptor signaling, ion channels, and epigenetic mechanisms-and the possible participation of lipid metabolism, oxidative stress and cell signaling. As the potential risks of BPA exposure in humans are still noteworthy, studies of BPA in CVDs should be strengthened, especially with respect to the mechanisms, prevention and treatment. Moreover, the potential CV risk of BPS reported by in vivo studies calls for immediate epidemiological investigations and animal studies to reveal the relationships of BPS and other BPA alternatives with human CVDs.

Toxicokinetics of bisphenol-S and its glucuronide in plasma and urine following oral and dermal exposure in volunteers for the interpretation of biomonitoring data. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2020; 138:105644. [PMID: 32179324 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2020.105644] [Citation(s) in RCA: 57] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2019] [Revised: 03/05/2020] [Accepted: 03/05/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The measurement of bisphenol-S (BPS) and its glucurono-conjugate (BPSG) in urine may be used for the biomonitoring of exposure in populations. However, this requires a thorough knowledge of their toxicokinetics. The time courses of BPS and BPSG were assessed in accessible biological matrices of orally and dermally exposed volunteers. Under the approval of the Research Ethics Committee of the University of Montreal, six volunteers were orally exposed to a BPS-d8 deuterated dose of 0.1 mg/kg body weight (bw). One month later, 1 mg/kg bw of BPS-d8 were applied on 40 cm2 of the forearm and then washed 6 h after application. Blood samples were taken prior to dosing and at fixed time periods over 48 h after treatment; complete urine voids were collected pre-exposure and at pre-established intervals over 72 h postdosing. Following oral exposure, the plasma concentration-time courses of BPS-d8 and BPSG-d8 over 48 h evolved in parallel, and showed a rapid appearance and elimination. Average peak values (±SD) were reached at 0.7 ± 0.1 and 1.1 ± 0.4 h postdosing and mean (±SD) apparent elimination half-lives (t½) of 7.9 ± 1.1 and 9.3 ± 7.0 h were calculated from the terminal phase of BPS-d8 and BPSG-d8 in plasma, respectively. The fraction of BPS-d8 reaching the systemic circulation unchanged (i.e. bioavailability) was further estimated at 62 ± 5% on average (±SD) and the systemic plasma clearance at 0.57 ± 0.07 L/kg bw/h. Plasma concentration-time courses and urinary excretion rate profiles roughly evolved in parallel for both substances, as expected. The average percent (±SD) of the administered dose recovered in urine as BPS-d8 and BPSG-d8 over the 0-72 h period postdosing was 1.72 ± 1.3 and 54 ± 10%. Following dermal application, plasma levels were under the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) at most time points. However, peak values were reached between 5 and 8 h depending on individuals, suggesting a slower absorption rate compared to oral exposure. Similarly, limited amounts of BPS-d8 and its conjugate were recovered in urine and peak excretion rates were reached between 5 and 11 h postdosing. The average percent (±SD) of the administered dose recovered in urine as BPS-d8 and BPSG-d8 was about 0.004 ± 0.003 and 0.09 ± 0.07%, respectively. This study provided greater precision on the kinetics of this contaminant in humans and, in particular, evidenced major differences between BPA and BPS kinetics with much higher systemic levels of active BPS than BPA, an observation explained by a higher oral bioavailability of BPS than BPA. These data should also be useful in developing a toxicokinetic model for a better interpretation of biomonitoring data.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is commonly found in epoxy resins used in the manufacture of plastic coatings in food packaging and beverage cans. There is a growing concern about BPA as a weak estrogenic compound that can affect human endocrine function. Chemicals structurally similar to BPA, such as bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol S (BPS), have been developed as substitutes in the manufacturing industry. Whether these bisphenol substitutes have adverse effects on human endocrine and reproductive systems remains largely unknown. This study investigated the effects of BPA, BPF, and BPS on regulating the function of decidualized human primary endometrial stromal cells on trophoblast outgrowth and invasion by indirect and direct co-culture models. All three bisphenols did not affect the stromal cell decidualization process. However, BPA- and BPF-treated decidualized stromal cells stimulated trophoblastic spheroid invasion in the indirect coculture model. The BPA-treated decidualized stromal cells had upregulated expressions of several invasion-related molecules including leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), whereas both BPA- and BPF-treated decidualized stromal cells had downregulated expressions of anti-invasion molecules including plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNFα) . Taken together, BPA and BPF altered the expression of invasive and anti-invasive molecules in decidualized stromal cells modulating its function on trophoblast outgrowth and invasion, which could affect the implantation process and subsequent pregnancy outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to multiple chemicals occurs daily through several routes; diet, inhalation and dermal contact. Real-life exposure assessment is needed to understand the risk. Therefore, a human biomonitoring (BM) study was performed to examine the plausibility of source-to-dose calculations for chemical mixtures in the Horizon 2020 EuroMix project. OBJECTIVES To provide a detailed description of the design of the EuroMix BM study, and to present the initial results for urinary phenols and phthalates and to describe their exposure determinants from foods and personal care products (PCPs). METHOD Adults (44 males and 100 females) kept detailed diaries on their food consumption, PCP use and handling of cash receipts. Urine samples were collected over the same 24-hour period. Urinary levels of four parabens, five bisphenols, oxybenzone/benzophenone-3 (OXBE), triclosan (TCS), triclocarban (TCC) and metabolites of eight phthalates and 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester (DINCH) were analysed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry. Multivariable linear regressions were performed between PCPs/food categories and each dependent chemical variable separately, and were only sex-stratified when an interactions between sex and the independent variable was significant. RESULTS The detection rate for the metabolites of phthalates and DINCH, and bisphenol A (BPA) and TCS in urine was 88-100%, while bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol F (BPF) were only found in 29% and 4% of the urine samples, respectively. Bisphenol B (BPB), bisphenol AF (BPAF) and TCC were not detected. Food groups associated with phenol exposure were meat, bread, beverages and butter and oil. Food determinants for phthalate exposure were sweets, butter and oil, fruit and berries and other foods. The only positive association between the use of PCPs and phenols was found between BPA and lip gloss/balm. Phthalate exposure was associated with the use of shower gel, hand cream (females), toothpaste, anti-wrinkle cream (females) and shaving products (males). CONCLUSION The participants in the EuroMix BM study were exposed to a mixture of phenols and phthalates. A variety of food categories and PCPs were found to be possible sources of these chemicals. This indicates a complex pattern of exposure to numerous chemicals from multiple sources, depending on individual diet and PCP preferences.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial component commonly used in synthesis of polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resin and other polymer materials. Due to its mass productions and widespread applications, the presence of BPA is ubiquitous in the environment. BPA can enter the body via different ways such as digestive tract, respiratory tract and dermal tract. As an endocrine disruptor, BPA has estrogen-like and anti-androgen effects causing damages to different tissues and organs, including reproductive system, immune system and neuroendocrine system, etc. Recently, it has been shown that BPA could induce carcinogenesis and mutagenesis in animal models. Here, the underlying mechanisms of BPA-induced multi-organ toxicity were well summarized, involving the receptor pathways, disruption of neuroendocrine system, inhibition of enzymes, modulation of immune and inflammatory responses, as well as genotoxic and epigenetic mechanisms. The aim of this review is to compile the available current research data regarding BPA and provide an overview of the current status of BPA exposure and relevant health effects covering reproductive, developmental, metabolic, immuno, respiratory, hepatic and renal toxicity and carcinogenesis of BPA. This review provides comprehensive data of BPA toxicity on human health and related mechanisms. We also identify any missing data which should be addressed by further studies.

Abstract
Contact with thermal printing paper is a relevant source of dermal exposure to unbonded bisphenol A (BPA). In order to limit this exposure route, the European Union has introduced a drastic reduction in the maximum allowed concentration of BPA in thermal paper produced after beginning of year 2020. This study investigates the suitability of direct analysis in real time (DART), combined with accurate mass spectrometry, as a faster alternative to chromatography-based methods for the quantitative determination of BPA, and three analogues species, in receipts and tickets usually printed on thermal paper. The ionization efficiency of these compounds is evaluated under different conditions, and the effect of instrumental parameters of the DART source in the observed responses is discussed. The yield of the DART desorption-ionization process was greatly improved when compounds are previously converted into their acetyl derivatives; thereafter, the temperature of electronically excited helium atoms was the most relevant of the evaluated instrumental parameters. Under optimized conditions, the reported method provided recoveries in the range from 90 to 110%, a limit of quantification of 0.004% (w:w), well below the maximum concentration established after 2020 for BPA (0.02%, w:w), and permitted to perform duplicate determinations of each sample extract with a response time around 1 min. The accuracy of BPA levels found in non-spiked samples was confirmed using GC-EI-MS as reference technique. BPA was systematically noticed in the processed samples with concentrations ranging from 0.005% to more than 6%.

[PMID: 31199677 PMCID: PMC6792388 DOI: 10.1289/ehp5044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2019] [Revised: 04/20/2019] [Accepted: 05/22/2019] [Indexed: 05/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphenol S (BPS) has been widely substituted for bisphenol A (BPA) on thermal papers, but little is known about its skin absorption. OBJECTIVES We compared the percutaneous absorption and biotransformation of BPS and BPA in vitro and in a controlled human trial. METHODS Absorption and biotransformation of BPS and BPA were monitored across reconstructed human epidermis at two environmentally relevant doses over 25 h. In the human trial, five male participants handled thermal receipts containing BPS and washed their hands after 2 h. Urine (0-48 h) and serum (0-7.5h) were analyzed for target bisphenols, and one participant repeated the experiment with extended monitoring. BPS data were compared with published data for isotope-labeled BPA ([Formula: see text]) in the same participants. RESULTS At doses of 1.5 and [Formula: see text] applied to reconstructed human epidermis, the permeability coefficient of BPS (0.009 and [Formula: see text], respectively) was significantly lower than for BPA (0.036 and [Formula: see text], respectively), and metabolism of both bisphenols was negligible. In participants handling thermal receipts, the quantities of BPS and [Formula: see text] on hands was significantly correlated with maximum urinary event flux ([Formula: see text]), but the slope was lower for BPS than BPA ([Formula: see text] and 1.1, respectively). As a proportion of total urinary bisphenol, free BPS [[Formula: see text]: [Formula: see text]] was higher than for free BPA ([Formula: see text]). Postexposure maximum urinary BPS concentrations (0.93 to [Formula: see text]; [Formula: see text]) were in the 93-98th percentile range of BPS in background Canadians ([Formula: see text]; [Formula: see text]). CONCLUSION Both the in vitro and human studies suggested lower percutaneous absorption of BPS compared with BPA, but a lower biotransformation efficiency of BPS should also be considered in its evaluation as a BPA substitute. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP5044.

Abstract
Bisphenol S (BPS) has been introduced into the industry as a safer alternative to bisphenol A (BPA). The distribution of BPS has recently become an important issue worldwide, but investigations on the toxicity and mechanisms of BPS remain limited. A review of the literature reveals that BPS has widespread presence in environmental media, such as indoor dust, surface water, sediments, and sewage sludge. It has been detected in plants, paper products, some food items, and even in the human body. In addition, compared to BPA, BPS has a lower acute toxicity, similar or less endocrine disruption, similar neurotoxicity and immunotoxicity, and lower reproductive and developmental toxicity. The mechanisms underlying BPS toxicity may be related to the chemical properties of BPS in the human body, including interactions with estrogen receptors, and binding to DNA and some proteins, subsequently including exerting oxidative stress. However, further investigation on the potential risks of BPS to humans and its mechanisms of toxicity should be conducted to better understand and control the risks of such novel chemicals.

Abstract
The interactions between human serum albumin (HSA) and α1- acid glycoprotein (AGP), the main plasma proteins binding drugs/xenobiotics, and some endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as bisphenol A (BPA) and some of its structural analogues, bisphenol S (BPS), bisphenol F (BPF), bisphenol E (BPE), bisphenol B (BPB), bisphenol AF (BPAF), bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) and bisphenol M (BPM), were characterized by biomimetic liquid chromatography (LC). The interactions between bisphenols (BPs) and either HSA or AGP protein was found to be non-specific and essentially lipophilicity-driven. To get more information on the binding of BPs and plasma proteins, in silico predictions and molecular docking simulations were exploited, and the results achieved in silico were compared to those observed in vitro. BPM was the one exhibiting the highest affinity on both plasma proteins according to these data. Our findings clarified the binding of these EDCs to plasma proteins and offered insights into the biodistribution and bioaccumulation processes underlying their toxicity.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an estrogenic endocrine disruptor which disturbs a normal animal development. We generated an indicator plant that senses and provides a clear visual indicator of an estrogen-like compound BPA in the environment. We developed transgenic Arabidopsis lines expressing a construct designed to synthesize anthocyanin (thus showing a red color) in response to BPA. We transformed Arabidopsis with a recombinant vector containing the chimeric estrogen receptor (XVE region), LAP and coding region of PtrMYB119 (transcription factor involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis in poplar and Arabidopsis). Upon binding of the estrogen compound to the ligand-binding domain of E (estrogen receptor) in XVE, the XV domain binds to LAP promoter and triggering the transcription of PtrMYB119 with a subsequent enhancement of anthocyanin biosynthetic gene expression, resulting in anthocyanin synthesis. The leaves of the transgenic Arabidopsis line XVE-PtrMYB119 turned red in the presence of 10 ppm BPA. The transcript level of PtrMYB119 peaked at day 3 of BPA exposure, then decreased to its minimal level at day 5. Similar expression patterns to that of PtrMYB119 were detected for genes encoding the anthocyanin biosynthetic enzymes chalcone synthase, chalcone flavanone isomerase, flavanone 3-hydroxylase, dihydroflavonol 4-reductase, anthocyanidin synthase, and UFGT (UGT78D2). The leaves of transgenic plants did not turn red in response to BPA at concentrations below 10 ppm, but PtrMYB119 expression was induced by BPA at concentrations as low as 1 ppt BPA. Since this transgenic plant turns red in the presence of BPA without any experimental procedures, this line can be easily used by non-scientists.
