摘 要:[背景]近年来,越来越多的研究表明全氟辛酸(PFOA)暴露能影响心脏发育,但其具体机制尚不明确。芳香烃受体(AHR)是重要的环境感受器,可引起氧化应激及细胞凋亡。[目的]利用斑马鱼胚胎模型,探讨AHR在PFOA心脏发育毒性中的作用机制。[方法]将受精后2 h(2 hpf)的斑马鱼胚胎暴露于二甲亚砜(DMSO)对照以及1、10、100、1000μg·L^(-1)的PFOA中,并在高剂量组(1000μg·L^(-1))添加AHR抑制剂CH223191(CH)设置干预组。解剖镜下检测72 hpf斑马鱼幼鱼的存活率、死亡率、心率和心脏畸形率。以7-乙氧基试卤灵-O-脱乙基酶(EROD)染色方法检测AHR的活性。使用二氯二氢荧光素二乙酸酯和MitoSOX?Red检测斑马鱼幼鱼心脏部位的整体ROS及线粒体ROS水平。以吖啶橙(AO)染色及免疫荧光方法检测斑马鱼幼鱼心脏细胞凋亡。剖取各组胚胎心脏,提取总RNA,以荧光定量PCR方法检测氧化应激相关基因(sod2、cat)和凋亡相关基因(p53)mRNA表达水平。[结果]与DMSO对照组相比,低剂量(1μg·L^(-1))的PFOA即能引起72 hpf斑马鱼幼鱼心脏畸形率增加(P<0.05)和心率降低(P<0.01),并均有剂量-反应关系。添加AHR抑制剂CH后降低了高剂量(1000μg·L^(-1))PFOA引起的斑马鱼幼鱼心脏畸形率(P<0.001),且使心率恢复到对照组水平。EROD染色结果显示,高剂量PFOA(1000μg·L^(-1))能引起AHR活性升高(P<0.001)。进一步研究发现PFOA引起斑马鱼幼鱼心脏部位细胞内ROS升高(P<0.001)且存在剂量依赖性。高剂量PFOA(1000μg·L^(-1))会引起线粒体ROS增多(P<0.001)以及氧化应激相关基因sod2和cat的mRNA表达水平升高(P<0.05)。添加AHR抑制剂CH能有效拮抗高剂量PFOA(1000μg·L^(-1))引起的斑马鱼幼鱼心脏中的氧化应激(P<0.001)。PFOA暴露还会引起斑马鱼幼鱼心脏部位细胞凋亡小体剂量依赖性增多(P<0.05)。研究进一步确定高剂量PFOA(1000μg·L^(-1))引起cleaved-caspase 3免疫荧光染色增加(P<0.05)以及�[Background]In recent years,a growing number of studies have indicated that perfluorooctanoic acid(PFOA)exposure can impact heart development,though the specific mechanisms remain elusive.The aryl hydrocarbon receptor(AHR)is a critical environmental sensor capable of inducing oxidative stress and cell apoptosis.[Objective]To explore the role of AHR in the cardiac developmental toxicity of PFOA by using zebrafish embryo as an in vivo model.[Methods]Zebrafish embryos at 2 h post-fertilization(2 hpf)were exposed to dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO)control,1,10,100,and 1000μg·L^(−1) of PFOA.The AHR inhibitor CH223191(CH)was added to the high-concentration group (1 000 μg·L^(−1)) to form an intervention group. Under a dissecting microscope, the survival rate,mortality rate, heart rate, and heart malformation rate of 72 hpf zebrafish larvae were assessed. The activity of AHR was measured using7-ethoxyresorufin-O-dealkylation (EROD) staining. The levels of intracellular and mitochondrial ROS in the heart of zebrafish larvae wereassessed using dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate and MitoSOX™ Red, respectively. Apoptosis was examined using acridine orange(AO) staining and Immunofluorescence method. Total RNA was extracted from dissected hearts, and mRNA expression levels of oxidativestress-related genes (sod2, cat) and apoptosis-related gene (p53) were analyzed using quantitative PCR.[Results] Compared to the DMSO control group, PFOA at even the lowest concentration (1 μg·L^(−1)) increased heart malformation rate(P < 0.05) and reduced heart rate (P < 0.01) in the zebrafish larvae at 72 hpf, and the results showed a clear concentration-response relationship.Adding the AHR inhibitor CH significantly decreased heart malformation rate and restored heart rate to the control group level.The EROD results showed that PFOA at 1 000 μg·L^(−1) increased AHR activity (P < 0.001). Further studies revealed that PFOA caused a dosedependentincrease in intracellular ROS (P < 0.001) and an increase in mitochondrial ROS (P < 0.0
