Developmental pyrethroid exposure causes a neurodevelopmental disorder phenotype in mice

Abstract: Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are a widespread and growing public health challenge, affecting as many as 17% of children in the United States. Recent epidemiological studies have implicated ambient exposure to pyrethroid pesticides during pregnancy in the risk for NDDs in the unborn child. Using a litter-based, independent discovery–replication cohort design, we exposed mouse dams orally during pregnancy and lactation to the Environmental Protection Agency's reference pyrethroid, deltamethrin, at 3 mg/kg… Show more

“…To follow up on these correlational findings in humans, mouse models of pyrethroid exposure have been developed 11,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] . These models have established that exposure in mice to the pyrethroid deltamethrin during pregnancy and lactation at doses well below the EPA benchmark dose of 14.5 mg/kg is sufficient to cause broad male-biased changes in the brain and behavior of the resulting offspring.…”

“…Disruption of circadian rhythms and sleep are among the most common comorbidities in developmental disorders 78,79 . Finally, retinoic acid is highly expressed in the dopamine system and is a key regulator of dopamine synthesis and signaling 80,81 , both of which are disrupted in DPE mice 20,36 . Thus, our non-biased metabolomics study adds to the literature highlighting retinol and tryptophan metabolism as worthy targets for future investigations into the long-term effects of developmental pyrethroid exposure.…”

“…The use of a single dose of deltamethrin is also a key limitation. The 3 mg/kg dose was chosen because it is below the EPA-determined benchmark dose of 14.5 mg/kg for humans and is sufficient to cause a wide range of behavioral, transcriptional, and proteomic changes in mice 20,29,32,36 . Nonetheless, a careful look at dose-dependent effects of DPE is a critical next step.…”
