概括
和多基物质 (PFAS) 通过抑制c-MYC,一种关键蛋白质来破坏胚胎的早期发育. 这一发现解释了这些化学物质如何降低植入前胚胎的质量和紧缩.
科学领域:
- 环境毒理学
- 发育生物学
- 干细胞生物学
背景情况:
- 流行病学研究表明,和多基物质 (PFAS) 对植入前胚胎质量产生负面影响.
- 对PFAS对早期胚胎发育的影响的实验证据和机制理解有限.
- 胚胎在毛囊阶段的紧缩对于成功的发育至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 建立一个选平台来识别破坏胚胎紧缩的PFAS.
- 调查PFAS影响压缩的机制,重点是酸 (PFOA).
- 阐明c-MYC途径在PFAS诱导的发育性毒性的作用.
主要方法:
- 开发了一种表型查平台,使用小鼠扩大多能干细胞衍生的像毛囊的聚合物来评估紧缩.
- 选了19种PFAS以检测它们破坏聚合物循环性的能力.
- 在体外和体内研究了PFOA和c-MYC调节对粘附,细胞极性和胚胎质量的影响.
主要成果:
- 在选平台中发现了5种PFAS,特别是PFOA.
- PFOA (100 nM) 抑制了粘附分子表达和细胞极性;在10 nM时,它减少了高质量的聚合物形成.
- PFOA干扰了c- MYC/ MAX复合体的形成和转录活动,c- MYC的过度表达挽救了PFOA引起的损伤.
结论:
- 包括PFOA在内的PFAS可以破坏植入前胚胎的紧缩.
- 该机制涉及c- MYC介导的基因表达和细胞过程的抑制.
- 这项研究提供了关于PFAS暴露如何导致胚胎质量下降的机制见解.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
4.4K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different cell types. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are terminally differentiated; however, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they dedifferentiate and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.
