| Sumario: | 6:2 Chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (6:2 Cl-PFESA), an alternative product of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), has been frequently detected in various environmental, wildlife, and human samples. A few studies revealed the hepatotoxicity of 6:2 Cl-PFESA in animals, but the underlying toxicity mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the lipid metabolism disorders of 6:2 Cl-PFESA through miRNA-gene interaction mode in Huh-7 cells. Our results showed that 6:2 Cl-PFESA significantly promoted cellular lipid accumulation and increased the expression of Acyl-CoA oxidase 1 (ACOX1), with the lowest effective concentrations (LOECs) of 3 μM. In silico analysis showed that hsa-miR-532–3p is a potential miRNA molecule targeting ACOX1. Fluorescent-based RNA electrophoretic mobility shift assay (FREMSA) and ACOX1-mediated luciferase reporter gene assays showed that hsa-miR-532–3p could directly bind to ACOX1 and inhibit its transcription activity. Besides, 6:2 Cl-PFESA decreased the expression of hsa-miR-532–3p in the PPARα-independent manner. Overexpression of hsa-miR-532–3p promoted 6:2 Cl-PFESA-induced cellular lipid accumulation and decreased the ACOX1 production in Huh-7 cells. Taken together, at human exposure relevant concentrations, 6:2 Cl-PFESA might upregulate the expression levels of ACOX1 through downregulating hsa-miR-532–3p, and disturbed lipid homeostasis in Huh-7 cells, which revealed a novel epigenetic mechanism of 6:2 Cl-PFESA-induced hepatic lipid toxic effects. |
