| Abstract |
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are members of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This study aimed to determine the protective role of Nrf2 against the toxicity of these agents. Nrf2-/- and wild-type astrocytes were exposed to PFOS (75-600 μM) and PFOA (400-1000 μM) for 24 h. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release was significantly higher in nrf2-/- than in the wild-type astrocytes. Exposure to 600 μM PFOS and 800 μM PFOA showed significant increases in reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation, and apoptosis in nrf2-/- astrocytes as compared to wild-type astrocytes. The GSH/GSSG ratio was significantly decreased in nrf2-/- astrocytes when compared to wild-type astrocytes. Additionally, PFOS and PFOS caused dramatic ultrastructural alterations to the mitochondria. BHT pretreatment in wild-type cells decreased ROS production with exposure to both agents. Results of the present study conclude that PFOS and PFOA are cytotoxic to astrocytes and that nrf2 -/- cells are more sensitive to toxicity by these agents. |
