Perfluorooctanoic acid exposure in vivo perturbs mitochondrial metabolic during oocyte maturation
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a member of a group of polyfluorinated and perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes in mammals. However, the effects of in vivo exposure to PFOA on the female reproductive system and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In our study, we constructed a mouse model to investigate whether low‐dose PFOA (1 mg/kg/day) or high‐dose PFOA (5 mg/kg/day) affect meiosis maturation of oocytes and the potential mechanisms that may be associated with oocyte maturation disorder. Our results indicate that low‐dose and high‐dose PFOA can lead to impaired oocyte maturation, which is manifested by decreased rate of embryonic foam rupture and first polar body extrusion. Moreover, PFOA exposure harmed the mitochondrial metabolic, resulting in low levels of ATP contents, high reactive oxygen species, aberrant mitochondrial membrane potential. In addition, the proportion of DNA damage marker γ‐H2AX was also significantly increased in PFOA exposure oocytes. These changes lead to abnormal arrangements of the spindle and chromosomes during oocyte maturation. In conclusion, our results for the first time illustrated that exposure to PFOA in vivo in female mice impaired the meiosis maturation of oocytes, which provided a basis for studying the mechanism of PFOA reproductive toxicity in female mammals.
