The aim of this experiment is to investigate the mechanism of liver cell damage induced by nonylphenol(NP).After establishing an in vitro model of NP induced BRL-3A liver cell injury,changes of oxidative damage markers were evaluated,Fe2+content was determined,the ultrastruc-ture of BRL-3A was observed,and the expression level of iron death marker proteins were deter-mined.The results showed that NP could significantly increase ROS and MDA in BRL-3A cells(P<0.05);the GSH content,GSH Px activity,and SOD activity were significantly reduced(P<0.05);the Fe2+content significantly increased(P<0.05)and showed a dose-dependent effect;the mitochondrial volume of BRL-3A cells significantly decreases,the mitochondrial cristae break or e-ven disappear,and some mitochondria show vacuolization;the expression levels of iron homeostasis related proteins TFR1 and FTH1 were significantly reduced(P<0.05).The results indicate that ferroptosis is involved in the mechanism of NP induced liver cell damage,which bene-fits for further exploration of NP pathogenesis.
