Effects and risk assessment of halogenated bisphenol A derivatives on human follicle stimulating hormone receptor: An interdisciplinary study

Lorena Zuzic

Résumé

Halogenated bisphenol A (BPA) derivatives are produced during disinfection treatment of drinking water or are synthesized as flame retardants (TCBPA or TBBPA). BPA is considered as an endocrine disruptor especially on human follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR). Using a global experimental approach, we assessed the effect of halogenated BPA derivatives on FSHR activity and estimated the risk of halogenated BPA derivatives to the reproductive health of exposed populations. For the first time, we show that FSHR binds halogenated BPA derivatives, at 10 nM, a concentration lower than those requires to modulate the activity of nuclear receptors and/or steroidogenesis enzymes. Indeed, bioluminescence assays show that FSHR response is lowered up to 42.36 % in the presence of BPA, up to 32.79 % by chlorinated BPA derivatives and up to 27.04 % by brominated BPA derivatives, at non-cytotoxic concentrations and without modification of basal receptor activity. Moreover, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and site-directed mutagenesis experiments demonstrate that the halogenated BPA derivatives bind the FSHR transmembrane domain reducing the signal transduction efficiency which lowers the cellular cAMP production and in fine disrupts the physiological effect of FSH. The potential reproductive health risk of exposed individuals was estimated by comparing urinary concentrations (through a collection of human biomonitoring data) with the lowest effective concentrations derived from in vitro cell assays. Our results suggest a potentially high concern for the risk of inhibition of the FSHR pathway. This global approach based on FSHR activity could enable the rapid characterization of the toxicity of halogenated BPA derivatives (or other compounds) and assess the associated risk of exposure to these halogenated BPA derivatives.
