摘要
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a representative of perfluorinated compounds in industrial and commercial products, has posed a great threat to animals and humans via environmental exposure and dietary consumption. Herein, we investigated the effects of PFOS binding on the redox state and stability of two hemoproteins (hemoglobin (Hb) and myoglobin (Mb)). Fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy demonstrated that PFOS could induce the conformational changes of proteins along with the exposure of heme cavity and generation of hemichrome, which resulted in the increased release of free hemin. After that, free hemin liberated from hemoproteins led to reactive oxygen species formation, lipid peroxidation, cell membrane damage and loss of cell viability in vascular endothelial cells, while neither Hb nor Mb did show cytotoxicity. Chemical inhibitors of ferroptosis effectively mitigated hemin-caused toxicity, identifying the hemin-dependent ferroptotic cell death mechanisms. These data demonstrated that PFOS posed a potential threat of toxicity through a mechanism which involved its binding to hemoproteins, decreased oxygen transporting capacity, and increased hemin release. Altogether, our findings elucidate the binding mechanisms of PFOS with two hemoproteins, as well as possible risks on vascular endothelial cells, which would have important implications for the human and environmental toxicity of PFOS.
