Effects of perfluorooctanoic acid in oxidative stress generation, DNA damage in cumulus cells, and its impact on in vitro maturation of porcine oocytes

© 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC..

Perfluorooctanoic acid is a synthetic compound mostly used in a wide range of consumer products with several adverse effects on somatic cells and gametes. It has been linked to hepatotoxic and carcinogenic effects, alterations in the immune system, endocrine, and reproductive alterations. In vivo studies show an increase in reactive oxygen species and DNA damage. However, the mechanisms by which this compound affects fertility, remain contradictory. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of perfluorooctanoic acid on oocyte viability and maturation, as well as the viability, generation of oxidative stress, and genotoxic damage in the cumulus cells exposed during in vitro maturation. This compound had a negative effect on oocyte viability (lethal concentration, LC50  = 269 μM) and maturation (inhibition maturation concentration IM50  = 75 μM), while in cumulus cells the LC50 was 158 μM. The generation of reactive oxygen species evaluated in cumulus cells, protein carbonylation, and DNA damage, was significantly increased at 40 μM perfluorooctanoic acid. This study provides evidence that perfluorooctanoic acid causes reactive oxygen species generation, protein oxidation, and DNA damage in cumulus cells, compromising the maturation and viability of porcine oocyte, which may affect fertility.
