| Abstract | Diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is a widely used plasticizer, and its exposure via the enteral and parenteral routes can affect estrogen function and has transgenerational effect. The bones are the most important target organs for estrogen; however, the related gene pathway and the effects of DEHP on bones remain unknown. In this study, we evaluated whether parenteral exposure to DEHP has effects on bone microarchitecture in F2 mice, and determined the related gene pathway.Pregnant mice (F0) were exposed to DEHP, at doses of 30 μg/kg/day (low dose) and 400 μg/kg/day (high dose), and corn oil during pregnancy and lactation. F2 siblings were not treated with DEHP. We performed micro-CT to analyze the microstructure of the tibial head and microarray analysis on ovary cells from F2 female siblings of 17-18 weeks of age to evaluate the gene expression.The percentage of bone volume in the low- (5.55%± 0.85%) and high-dose (7.09%±4.15%) groups was higher than that in the control (2.25%±1.22%; P< 0.05). Trabecular number (per mm2) was higher in the low- (0.87±0.12) and high-dose (0.95±0.55) groups compared to that in the control (0.37±0.21; P<0.05). Trabecular thickness was greater in the high-dose group (0.073±0.006 μm) than in the control (0.060±0.002 μm) and low-dose (0.063±0.004 μm) groups. The structure model index (SMI) of the low- and high-dose groups was significantly lower than the corresponding value in the control group (P<0.05). Micro-CT analysis indicated proliferative changes in trabecular bone in the treated F2 siblings. In the microarray analysis of ovary cells, CTNNB1 (catenin beta 1) and PPP3R1 gene expressions were significantly modified in the low- and high-dose groups. SFRP1, DVL2, WNT11, and WNT16 showed significant expression changes in the low-dose group, but not in the high-dose group. Taken together, parenteral exposure to DEHP during pregnancy and lactation could influence the trabecular bone microarchitectures of F2 siblings and affect certain genes associated with the Wnt signaling pathway. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
