Dysregulation of lipid metabolism in PLHC-1 and ZFL cells exposed to tributyltin an all-trans retinoic acid
There is increasing awareness that exposure to endocrine disrupters interferes with lipid homeostasis in vertebrates, including fish. Many of these compounds exert their action by binding to nuclear receptors, such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and retinoid X receptor. This work investigates the use of fish liver cells (PLHC-1 and ZFL cells) for the screening of metabolic and lipid disrupters in the aquatic environment by assessing changes in the cell’s lipidome after exposure to the model compounds, tributyltin chloride and all-trans retinoic acid. Lipid extracts, analyzed by FIA-ESI (+/-) Orbitrap, evidenced the intracellular accumulation of triglycerides and diglycerides in both cell models after exposure 100 and 200 nM tributyltin chloride for 24 h. Exposure to 1 µM all-trans retinoic acid led to a significant accumulation of triglycerides in PLHC-1 cells, while few triglycerides were accumulated in ZFL cells. Retinoic acid (cyp26b1, cyp3a65, lrata) and lipid metabolism (fasn, scd, elovl6) related genes were up-regulated by tributyltin chloride and all-trans retinoic acid, while only all-trans retinoic acid down-regulated the expression of dgat1a. The two cell models show sensitivity and responses to tributyltin chloride and all-trans retinoic acid comparable to those previously reported in mammalian cells. These results support the use of fish liver cells as alternative models for the detection of contaminants that act as lipid disrupters in the aquatic environment.
