Perfluorooctanoic acid induces cardiac dysfunction in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety 2024 March 6
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), commonly found in drinking water, leads to widespread exposure through skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion, resulting in detectable levels of PFOA in the bloodstream. In this study, we found that exposure to PFOA disrupts cardiac function in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs). We observed reductions in field and action potentials in hiPSC-CMs exposed to PFOA. Furthermore, PFOA demonstrated a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on various ion channels, including the calcium, sodium, and potassium channels. Additionally, we noted dose-dependent inhibition of the expression of these ion channels in hiPSC-CMs following exposure to PFOA. These findings suggest that PFOA exposure can impair cardiac ion channel function and decrease the transcription of genes associated with these channels, potentially contributing to cardiac dysfunction such as arrhythmias. Our study sheds light on the electrophysiological and epigenetic consequences of PFOA-induced cardiac dysfunction, underscoring the importance of further research on the cardiovascular effects of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs).
