Identification of the metabolites of polybrominated diphenyl ether 99 and its related cytochrome P450s.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To investigate the metabolites of polybrominated diphenyl ether 99 (BDE-99) and its related cytochrome P450s in an in vitro system. METHODS:Rat primary hepatocytes were isolated and treated with BDE-99 for 24-72 h. Metabolites were then extracted from the hepatocytes and media, and detected by GC/MS. Several mRNAs of metabolic enzymes were also extracted from the same cells and the gene expression levels were determined using quantitative real-time PCR. In addition, selected recombinant cytochrome P450s (CYPs) were expressed in a bacurovirus/sf9 system, and these were further used to explore the metabolism of BDE-99 in vitro. The parent depletion approach was used for screening the ability of CYPs to eliminate BDE-99. RESULTS:A reductively debrominated metabolite, BDE-47, and three oxidative metabolites, 2, 4, 5-tribromophenol, 5-OH-BDE-47, and 5'-OH-BDE-99, were identified from the BDE-99-treated rat hepatocytes, whereas no MeO metabolite was detected in the system. RT-PCR analysis showed that CYP 3A23/3A1, 1A2, and 2B1/2 were induced by BDE-99. Furthermore, using the heterological expressed CYP proteins in in vitro BDE-99 metabolism experiments we found that CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 showed the highest metabolic efficiency for BDE-99, with the metabolic clearance rates of CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 being 30.3% and 27.7%, respectively. CYP1A1 and CYP2A6 displayed relatively low clearance rates, while CYP2E1 seemed not to be associated with the BDE-99 metabolism. CONCLUSIONS:In our in vitro rat primary hepatocyte metabolism system, four metabolites of BDE-99 were identified, and CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 were demonstrated to be involved in the BDE-99 metabolism.

Project description:BackgroundPolybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are flame-retardant chemicals that are added to many consumer products. Multiple animal studies have shown PBDEs to be thyroid hormone (TH) disruptors. Epidemiologic evidence of PBDE exposure associated with TH disruption has been inconclusive.ObjectivesWe used repeated measures to estimate associations between serum PBDE concentrations and THs in a North American adult cohort.MethodsFrom 2010 to 2011, we collected ≤ 3 serum samples at approximately 6-month intervals from 52 healthy adult office workers from Boston, Massachusetts, for analysis of PBDE congeners and THs.ResultsThe geometric mean sum concentrations of the most prevalent PBDE congeners (BDE-28, BDE-47, BDE-99, BDE-100, and BDE-153) were 22 ng/g lipid in winter 2010, 23 ng/g lipid in summer 2010, and 19 ng/g lipid in winter 2011. BDE-47 was the predominant congener. Based on a multivariable mixed regression model, we estimated that on average, a 1-ng/g serum increase in BDE-47 was associated with a 2.6-μg/dL decrease in total thyroxine (T4) (95% CI: -4.7, -0.35). Total T4 was inversely associated with each PBDE congener. Serum concentrations of PBDEs were not strongly associated with total triiodothyronine (T3), free T4, or thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).ConclusionThese results are consistent with those from animal studies showing that exposure to PBDEs is associated with a decrease in serum T4. Because the other TH concentrations did not appear to be associated with BDE exposures, our findings do not indicate effects on the pituitary-thyroid axis. Taken together, our findings suggest that PBDE exposure might decrease the binding of T4 to serum T4 binding proteins.CitationMakey CM, McClean MD, Braverman LE, Pearce EN, He XM, Sjödin A, Weinberg JM, Webster TF. 2016.
