Abstract:

Bisphenol S (BPS), a structural analog of Bisphenol A (BPA), has been widely used as a substitute for epoxy resin, food packaging materials, and other products due to the limited application of BPA. Studies in vivo and in vitro have indicated that BPA could induce fat accumulation like an obesogen. The main goal of this study was to investigate the role and mechanism of BPS in lipid metabolism using Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) as a model. Results showed that both the overall fat deposition and the triglyceride level were significantly increased in a non-monotonically increasing trend, and the low dose of BPS (0.01 μM) exhibited a stronger influence. Additionally, BPS enhanced fat synthesis depending on daf-16, fat-5, fat-6 and fat-7, and inhibited fatty acid oxidation via nhr-49 and acs-2. This study further indicate that fat accumulation induced by BPS requires nhr-49, which also mediated the nuclear hormone signaling pathway.
