Abstract

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are world-wide used flame retardants before they were listed as Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) by the Stockholm Convention. Previously, our studies indicated that a quinone type of PBDE metabolite (PBDEQ) exposure was linked with neurotoxicity via excess free radical formation and oxidative stress. However, it is current unknown the effect of PBDEQ on genetic biomacromolecules DNA and corresponding biological consequences in neurological cells. Here, by employing phosphorylated histone H2AX in Serine 139 (γ-H2AX) and comet assay in microglia BV2 cells, our data suggested PBDEQ could triggered DNA damage. Furthermore, PBDEQ exposure led to the caspase 3-dependent cell apoptosis. Moreover, PBDEQ induced G2/M-phase cell arrest in a p53-dependent manner. Notably, p53 activation coordinated cell cycle progression, alleviated DNA damage and ultimately mitigated apoptosis in BV2 cells. Finally, antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) inhibited p53 activation upon PBDEQ exposure, and then ameliorated PBDEQ-induced DNA damage, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, which illustrated that PBDEQ-induced DNA damage and p53 activation were mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Together, the current ...Continue Reading

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
