背景情况:
- 多环芳 (PAH) 由于潜在的跨代影响,对人类和野生动物的健康构成风险.
- 线粒体对细胞能量至关重要,是从母亲遗传的,易受毒素的影响.
- 甲 (BaP) 是一种PAH模型,也是已知的线粒体毒素.
研究的目的:
- 调查线粒体在本佐甲烯 (BaP) 跨代毒性中的作用.
- 评估母体BAP暴露对斑马鱼后代线粒体功能和健康的影响.
主要方法:
- 成熟的雌性斑马鱼 (F0) 在21天内暴露于不同剂量的BaP (12.5,125,1250μg/g饮食) 中.
- F0雌性与未暴露的雄性进行繁殖;由此产生的胚胎 (F1) 分析了线粒体功能,DNA完整性和氧化应激.
- 在体内氧气消耗率 (OCRs) 被测量以评估代谢分割和线粒体呼吸.
主要成果:
- 母体暴露的F1胚胎显示基底和线粒体呼吸减少,ATP周转率改变,质子泄漏增加,储备能力减少.
- 在后代中观察到线粒体DNA (mtDNA) 拷贝数的显著减少和mtDNA损伤的增加.
- 后代表现出改变的氧化应激生物标志物和游泳低活性,即使在12.5μg BaP/g饮食的最低观察效应水平 (LOEL) 中也可以看到效应.
结论:
- 母亲暴露于BaP会诱导斑马鱼后代显著的线粒体损伤.
- 后代的线粒体功能障碍可以在没有明显影响的情况下在母亲的卵巢中表现出来,这表明了跨代的影响.
- 这些发现凸显了PAH诱导的线粒体毒性对后代产生影响的潜力.

Electron Transport Chain: Complex I and II
14.4K
The mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) is the main energy generation system in the eukaryotic cells. However, mitochondria also produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to the large electron flow during oxidative phosphorylation. While Complex I is one of the primary sources of superoxide radicals, ROS production by Complex II is uncommon and may only be observed in cancer cells with mutated complexes.

Mitochondrial Membranes
11.5K
A single mitochondrion is a bean-shaped organelle enclosed by a double-membrane system. The outer membrane of mitochondria is smooth and contains many porins - the integral membrane transporters. Porins enable free diffusion of ions and small uncharged molecules through the outer mitochondrial membrane but limit the transport of molecules larger than 5000 Daltons. Further, the outer mitochondrial membrane forms a unique structure called membrane contact sites with other subcellular organelles,...

Mitochondria
13.7K
Mitochondria are eukaryotic cellular organelles that are known to produce energy through a process called oxidative phosphorylation. Besides their primary function, mitochondria are involved in various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, signaling, metabolism, and senescence. Age-related changes cause a decline in mitochondrial quality and integrity due to increased mitochondrial mutations and oxidative damage. Thus, aging can severely impact mitochondrial functions,...
