These levels might be hazardous to human health and ecosystems. Phthalates have been associated with neurological disorders, yet whether chronic DEHP exposure plays a role in Parkinson's disease (PD) or its underlying mechanisms is unknown. We investigated the effects of chronic DEHP exposure less than an environmentally-relevant dose on PD hallmarks, using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model. We show that developmental stage and exposure timing influence DEHP-induced dopaminergic neuron degeneration. In addition, in response to chronic DEHP exposure at 5 mg/L, mitochondrial fragmentation became significantly elevated, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels increased, and ATP levels decreased, suggesting that mitochondrial dysfunction occurs. Furthermore, the data show that mitochondrial complex I (nuo-1 and gas-1) and complex II (mev-1) are involved in DEHP-induced dopaminergic neuron toxicity. These results suggest that chronic exposure to DEHP at levels less than an environmentally-relevant dose causes dopaminergic neuron degeneration through mitochondrial dysfunction involving mitochondrial complex I and II. Considering the high level of genetic conservation between C. elegans and mammals, chronic DEHP exposure might elevate the risk of developing PD in humans. |
