PG - 1400-1409 LID - 10.1039/c6tx00047a [doi] AB - Developmental exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) has been linked to impaired glucose homeostasis and pancreatic function in adulthood, which has been hypothesized to result from the disruption of pancreatic beta-cell development at early life. Here we evaluated whether maternal BPA exposure disrupts beta-cell development and glucose tolerance and the role of epigenetic modifications of key regulator in this process. We found that maternal exposure to BPA (10 mug kg(-1) d(-1)) reduced the pancreatic beta-cell mass and the expression of pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (Pdx1) at birth, as well as the expression of Pdx1 at gestational day (GD) 15.5. In parallel with the decreased expression of Pdx1, histones H3 and H4 deacetylation, along with demethylation of histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4) and methylation of histone 3 lysine 9 (H3K9), were found at the promoter of Pdx1, while no significant changes in DNA methylation status were detected at this region. Moreover, these alterations were observed in adult life along with impaired glucose tolerance. We conclude that maternal exposure to BPA reduces pancreatic beta-cell mass at birth by reducing PDX1(+) progenitors during fetal development through altering the histone modifications of Pdx1, which can be propagated to later life and increase the susceptibility to glucose intolerance.
