Tetrabromobisphenol A Disturbs Brain Development in Both Thyroid Hormone-Dependent and -Independent Manners in Xenopus laevis
2021
Overview
Although tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) has been well proven to disturb TH signaling in both in vitro and in vivo assays, it is still unclear whether TBBPA can affect brain development due to TH signaling disruption. Here, we employed the T3-induced Xenopus metamorphosis assay (TIXMA) and the spontaneous metamorphosis assay to address this issue. In the TIXMA, 5–500 nmol/L TBBPA affected T3-induced TH-response gene expression and T3-induced brain development (brain morphological changes, cell proliferation, and neurodifferentiation) at premetamorphic stages in a complicated biphasic concentration-response manner. Notably, 500 nmol/L TBBPA treatment alone exerted a stimulatory effect on tadpole growth and brain development at these stages, in parallel with a lack of TH signaling activation, suggesting the involvement of other signaling pathways. As expected, at the metamorphic climax, we observed inhibitory effects of 50–500 nmol/L TBBPA on metamorphic development and brain development, which was in agreement with the antagonistic effects of higher concentrations on T3-induced brain development at premetamorphic stages. Taken together, all results demonstrate that TBBPA can disturb TH signaling and subsequently interfere with TH-dependent brain development in Xenopus; meanwhile, other signaling pathways besides TH signaling could be involved in this process. Our study improves the understanding of the effects of TBBPA on vertebrate brain development.
