ABSTRACT
Humans indirectly consume approximately 0.02 mg/kg/day of short-chained chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) through the environment; however, the thymic senescence/damage induced by SCCPs has not been assessed. In this study, 16 female mice (4-week-old) per group were orally administered 0, 0.01, 0.1, and 1 mg/kg/day of SCCPs for 21 days, and the phenotypes and levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), Tß4, αß TCR, SA-ß-Gal, GRP78, PERK/CHOP, P53/P21, and CASPASE-1 of the thymus were assessed as indicators. Another group comprising 16 mice was killed at 4-week-old and these indicators were assessed. Thereafter, the thymuses cultured in vitro were exposed to 0, 14, 140, and 1400 µg/L SCCPs, respectively, and the above indicators were measured after 7-day. Based on the results, the oral administration of ≥0.01 mg/kg/day SCCPs to mice and ≥14 µg/L of SCCPs in medium caused thymic aging features, such as a decrease in the ratio of cortex to medulla, gradual blurring of the boundary between the cortex and medulla, dose-dependent oxidative stress (decreased SOD and increased MDA), and decreased levels of Tß4 and αß TCRs in the thymus. The oral administration of ≥1 mg/kg/day of SCCPs also impeded the growth and development of female mice and their thymuses. Exposure to the low levels of SCCPs activated PERK-CHOP in the mouse thymus, which modulated increases in SA-ß-Gal, IL-1ß, P53, and CASPASE-1 in vivo and in vitro. Overall, environmental levels and human blood concentrations (14.8-1400 µg/L) of SCCPs may induce mouse thymus senescence by activating PERK-CHOP in vivo and in vitro, respectively.
