摘要
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), an endocrine-disrupting chemical pollutant, affects embryonic heart development; however, the mechanisms underlying its toxicity have not been fully elucidated. Here, Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was used to investigate the overall effects of PFOS on myocardial differentiation from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Additionally, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, and ATP assays were performed. Downregulated cardiogenesis-related genes and inhibited cardiac differentiation were observed after PFOS exposure in vitro. The percentages of cardiomyocyte and cardiac progenitor cell clusters decreased significantly following exposure to PFOS, while the proportion of primitive endoderm cell was increased in PFOS group. Moreover, PFOS inhibited myocardial differentiation and blocked cellular development at the early- and middle-stage. A Gene Ontology analysis and pseudo-time trajectory illustrated that PFOS disturbed multiple processes related to cardiogenesis and oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria. Furthermore, PFOS decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and induced apoptosis. These results offer meaningful insights into the cardiogenic toxicity of PFOS exposure during heart formation as well as the adverse effects of PFOS on mitochondria.
