“…There are numerous studies showing that BPA can migrate out of polycarbonate (reviewed in Guart et al 2013) and contaminate foodstuffs and drinks, and oral ingestion is considered the major route of exposure of the human population (Calafat et al 2008). Additional routes of exposure are predicted from the inhalation of household dusts and dermal uptake from printed materials (Ehrlich et al 2014). BPA undoubtedly enters the human body, with studies showing exposure of >95 % of populations in USA, Europe and Asia Vandenberg et al 2010).…”

“…In HFD-exposed obese females, the earlier accelerated GnRH pulse generator frequency and advanced puberty might be associated with premature up-regulation of kisspeptin and NKB signaling in the hypothalamus [131]. Similarly, exposure during pregnancy to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) -chemicals found in polycarbonate plastics and other materials [133] -led to advanced pubertal onset and abnormal estrous cyclicity in female offspring [134].…”

“…Among these contaminants, bisphenol A (BPA) is a ubiquitous xenoestrogen and a raw material widely used in the manufacturing of a variety of consumer goods such as canned food and drink [2], thermal printer paper [3], and even medical equipment [4]. Since its first commercial use in 1950s, the global consumption of BPA is continuously growing with an increase from 3.9 million tons in 2006 to nearly 5 million tons in 2010 [5].…”

Loss of Hippocampal Oligodendrocytes Contributes to the Deficit of Contextual Fear Learning in Adult Rats Experiencing Early Bisphenol A Exposure

During early development, continuous exposure to environmental contaminants such as bisphenol A (BPA) is known to alter neuronal development, resulting in aberrant brain structure and predisposing individuals to developing neuropsychiatric disorders later in life. While the altered oligodendrocyte (OL) structure and function have been casually linked to the occurrence of numerous psychiatric diseases, it remains open whether early BPA exposure (EBE) also recruits OLs to mediate its toxicity in the brain. Here, we observed that EBE from birth to postnatal day 21 caused a substantial loss of hippocampal OLs in rat pups. The OL loss was enduring and manifested even when the affected pups spanned into their adulthood. In parallel, the expression of two key proteins in mature OLs, myelin basic protein (MBP), and monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) was markedly downregulated in adult hippocampus with a considerable reduction in the number of myelinated axons. By contrast, the myelination of individual axons remained intact. The altered hippocampal OLs were related to EBE-mediated disruption of estrogen receptor (ER) signaling in developing OLs and could be readily prevented by treatment with low level of ICI 182780, an ER antagonist. Importantly, the adult rats subject to EBE exhibited clear deficit in contextual fear memory, which highly correlated with OL loss and decreased MBP and MCT1 expression in hippocampus. The OL loss may thus represent an alternative route through which EBE has its adversity on the brain and contributes to the development of neuropsychiatric illness.
