1 In search for obesogens Ewa Szalowska BDS Amsterdam 212

2 Obesogens-an environmental link to Obesogens (B. Blumberg 26)- a subset of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that activate PPARγ obesity PPARγ is one of the nuclear receptors ligandactviated transcription factor that mediates adipogenesis and maintenance of mature adipocytes PPAR γ gene targets: PPAR γ 2, FABP4, LPL, CD36, adiponectin, Klf15 Adipocytes differentiation & maintenance

3 Adipose tissue energy homeostasis Chemerin Adiponectin Leptin Omentin Visfatin Resistin Vaspin TNFa/IL-6 RBP4 Glucose and insulin homeostasis Lipid homeostasis Reproduction Immunity

4 MEHP and rosiglitazone bind similarly to the PPAR ligandbinding domain Feige JN, et al. The endocrine disruptor monoethyl-hexyl-phthalate is a selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor g modulator that promotes adipogenesis. JBC 282:26: (27)

5 MEHP regulates only a subset of genes compared with rosiglitazone MEHP induces adipogenesis through PPARγ Feige JN, et al. The endocrine disruptor monoethyl-hexyl-phthalate is a selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor g modulator that promotes adipogenesis. JBC 282:26: (27)

14 Dose dependent acute effect of TCDD on gene in undifferentiated SGBS cells 4 days 24 h Seed cells in 6-well plate Expose confluent cells Isolate RNA Synthesise cdna qpcr TCDD target genes: AhR, CYP1A1, CYP1B1 Inflammatory genes: MCP1, IKKβ, Serpin B2, IL-6, IL-1β, TNFα

22 Oil Red O (%) Oil Red O quantification % TCDD (nm) Significantly more lipid droplets Significantly less lipid droplets

23 Conclusion TCDD despite clear toxicity significantly alters gene These changes could lead to functionally altered adipocytes that are predisposed to metabolic disorders

24 Conclusion PPARg CALUX is successful to identify subset of obesogens SGBS cell line can be used to identify larger number of obesogens/edcs
