PG - 118977 LID - S0269-7491(22)00191-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.118977 [doi] AB - Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a class of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that have adverse effects on human health. However, the long-term health effects and potential mechanism of neonatal exposure to PCBs are still unclear. In this study, nursing male mice exposed to PCB138 at 0.5, 5, and 50 mug/kg body weight (bw) from postnatal day (PND) 3 to PND 21 exhibited increased serum uric acid levels and liver uric acid synthase activity at 210 days of age. We also found an increased kidney somatic index in the 50 mug/kg group and kidney fibrosis in the 5 and 50 mug/kg groups. Mechanistically, PCB138 induced mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which might have led to inflammatory responses, such as activation of the NF-kappaB (nuclear factor kappa-B) and NLRP3 (NOD-like receptor protein 3) pathways. The inflammatory response might regulate renal fibrosis and hypertrophy. In summary, this study reports a long-term effect of neonatal PCB exposure on uric acid metabolism and secondary nephrotoxicity and clarifies the underlying mechanism. Our work also indicates that early life pollutant exposure may be an important cause of diseases later in life. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
