Exposure to PCB52 (2,2′,5,5′-tetrachlorobiphenyl) blunts induction of the gene for uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in white adipose

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are linked to cancer, learning disabilities, liver and cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Older schools often contain high levels of PCBs, and inhalation is a major source of exposure. Technical PCB mixtures, called Aroclors, and individual dioxin-like PCBs impair adipocyte function, which can lead to type II diabetes. To determine how PCB52, a non-dioxin like PCB congener found in school air, affects adipose, adolescent male and female rats were exposed to PCB52 by nose-only inhibition for 4 h per day for 28 consecutive days. Transcriptomic analysis of white adipose revealed sex-specific differences in gene expression between PCB52- and sham-exposed males and females. Exposed females showed mitochondrial gene changes, including downregulation of the thermogenic uncoupling gene, Ucp1. Human preadipocytes/adipocytes exposed to PCB52 or its main metabolite, 4-OH-PCB52, also showed reduced norepinephrine-induced UCP1 expression. These findings suggest that PCB52 inhalation disrupts thermogenesis in adipose tissue, potentially contributing to metabolic syndrome. © 2024
