    Abstract:

    Objective To investigate the effects of of low dose of bisphenol A (BPA) and di (2-ethyl) hexyl phthalate (DEHP) on Aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in adult SD rats. Method 56 adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 7groups (8 rats in each group) and they were given BPA (10.0µg/kg,30.0µg/kg,90µg/kg, i.g.), DEHP (30.0µg/kg ,90.0µg/kg ,270 µg/kg, i.g.) and vehicle respectively once a day for 4 weeks. The animals were sacrificed on the day subsequent to last treatment and the blood was collected, the prostate tissues were dissected and categorized into different lobes. The levels of AKR1C3 in serum and prostate were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the expression of AKR1C3 in each lobe of prostate was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Result After the administration of BPA, the expression of AKR1C3 in 90µg/kg and 270µg/kg group increased, and there was significant difference in the high-dose group (P<0.05); The level and protein expression of AKR1C3 in dorsal prostate increased, and there was significant difference in 10µg/kg group (P<0.01, P<0.001). After administration of DEHP, the level of serum AKR1C3 in 270µg/kg group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.001), the level of AKR1C3 in the ventral prostate was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the expression of AKR1C3 protein increased, there was significant difference in 270µg/kg group (P<0.05); The level of AKR1C3 in 90µg/kg and 270µg/kg dose group of dorsal prostate was higher than that in the control group, and there was significant difference in 30µg/kg group (P<0.05). The expression of AKR1C3 protein in each group increased, and there was significant difference in 30µg/kg and 90µg/kg dose group (P<0.001, P<0.05). Conclusion Low-dose BPA and DEHP can promote the expression of AKR1C3 in the prostate of adult SD rats, but the sensitivity of ventral and dorsal lobes of prostate to BPA and DEHP is different.
