Current Evidence on Bisphenol A Exposure and the Molecular Mechanism Involved in Related Pathological Conditions
Summary
This review examines the molecular mechanisms by which bisphenol A (BPA), a common endocrine-disrupting chemical found in plastics, may contribute to various health conditions. Researchers analyzed BPA's effects on mesenchymal stem cells and fat cell development, as well as its uses in dental, orthopedic, and industrial applications. The study suggests that BPA exposure can alter multiple molecular pathways involved in immune, metabolic, and cellular processes.
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the so-called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of different morbid conditions: immune-mediated disorders, type-2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. The purpose of this review is to analyze the mechanism of action of bisphenol A, with a special focus on mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) and adipogenesis. Its uses will be assessed in various fields: dental, orthopedic, and industrial. The different pathological or physiological conditions altered by BPA and the related molecular pathways will be taken into consideration.
