Mutagenicity is often a prerequisite to the development of malignancy. Evidences have shown that exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) results in various cancer inductions. However, whether any mutagenic base exists is still puzzling. In the present study, we exposed exponentially growing A(L) cells to PFOA and assayed the cells for survival, mutation induction, and caspase-3/7, -9 activities. Mitochondrial-DNA deficient human-hamster hybrid (ρ(0) A(L)) cells and reactive oxygen species (ROS) inhibitor were used to elucidate the possible mechanism. Our results showed that treatment of A(L) cells with PFOA for 16 days induced significant mutagenic effects together with the increment of ROS, superoxide anions (O(2)(.-)), and nitrogen oxide (NO) levels, while treatment of ρ(0) A(L) cells did not have much change. Concurrent treatment of A(L) cells with ROS inhibitor significantly decreased the mutagenic potential of PFOA. In addition, caspase activities in A(L) cells were increased by PFOA exposure and suppressed by ROS/RNS (reactive oxygen/nitrogen species) inhibitors. Our results suggest that exposure to PFOA lead to mutagenicity induction in A(L) cells, and mitochondria-dependent ROS plays an important role in this process. This provides a direct base for PFOA mediated cancer induction. |
