| Sumario: | Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a synthetic chemical that has widely been used in the production of polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins in the manufacture of consumer products. The most common path of human exposure to BPA is by oral intake that involves genotoxicity, oxidative stress, endocrine disruption, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity in both in vitro and in vivo models. Melatonin is known as a free-radical scavenger and a powerful antioxidant agent. This study aimed to investigate the effects of melatonin on viability and genetic disorders of normal Human Gingival Fibroblasts (HGF), colon cancer (MKN45), and bone marrow stem cell (MSC) lines exposed to BPA. For this purpose, MTT and Comet assays were performed to evaluate the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity properties of BPA and the role of melatonin. The results showed that BPA exposure resulted in increased oxidative stress parameters including MDA and ROS, and decreased GSH content. The current study demonstrated the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity effects of BPA and the protective role of melatonin in preventing cytotoxicity and DNA damage are induced by BPA. |
