BACKGROUND Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disrupting chemical with weak estrogenic and anti-androgenic activity, is widely present in various environmental media and organisms. It has certain reproductive toxicity and can cause a variety of female reproductive system diseases. Although BPA-stimulated apoptosis of granulosa cells has been widely elaborated, the effect of BPA onĀ mouse pre-antral follicle granulosa cells (mpGCs) has not been well elucidated. RESULTS In this study, the results of live-dead cell staining showed that high concentrations of BPA severely impaired mpGCs growth viability and affected the cell cycle transition of mpGCs. We confirmed that BPA promotes the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and facilitates oxidative stress in mpGCs. In addition, immunofluorescence, transmission electron microscopy, and flow cytometry experiments demonstrated that BPA treatment for mpGCs resulted in apoptotic features, such as rounding, cytoplasmic crinkling, and mitochondrial damage. This was accompanied by a large production of ROS and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) translocation from the mitochondria to the nucleus. RNA-seq data showed that several apoptosis-related pathways were enriched in the high concentration BPA-treated group compared with the normal group, such as the p53 pathway, MAPK pathway, etc. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that cells undergo oxidative stress effects and apoptosis after BPA treatment for mpGCs, which affects normal follicle development. The potential mechanism of BPA-induced female reproductive toxicity was elucidated, while providing a research basis for the prevention and treatment of female reproductive diseases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010636 Phenols Benzene derivatives that include one or more hydroxyl groups attached to the ring structure.
D005260 Female Females
D006107 Granulosa Cells Supporting cells for the developing female gamete in the OVARY. They are derived from the coelomic epithelial cells of the gonadal ridge. Granulosa cells form a single layer around the OOCYTE in the primordial ovarian follicle and advance to form a multilayered cumulus oophorus surrounding the OVUM in the Graafian follicle. The major functions of granulosa cells include the production of steroids and LH receptors (RECEPTORS, LH). Cell, Granulosa,Cells, Granulosa,Granulosa Cell
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D017209 Apoptosis A regulated cell death mechanism characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, including the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA, at regularly spaced, internucleosomal sites, i.e., DNA FRAGMENTATION. It is genetically programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.
