Popis: Bisphenol F (BPF) has been used in the syntheses of polymers, which are widely used in coatings, varnishes, adhesives, and other plastics. During the past decades, BPF contamination in the aquatic environment has dramatically increased due to its release from manmade products. Concerns have driven much attention to whether it may adversely impact aquatic lives or human beings. The present study performed an acute toxic exposure experiment and a 15 d developmental exposure of BPF at environmental concentrations (20, 200, and 2000 ng/L) using Chinese medaka (Oryzias sinensis). In the acute toxic exposure, the LC50 of BPF to Chinese medaka is 87.90 mg/L at 96 h. Developmental exposure induced a significant increase in the frequency of larvae with abnormalities in the 2000 ng/L BPF group compared to the control group. Transcriptomic analysis of the whole larvae revealed 565 up-regulated and 493 down-regulated genes in the 2000 ng/L BPF exposure group. Analysis of gene ontology and KEGG pathways enrichments indicated endocrine disorders to be associated with BPF-induced developmental toxicity. The present results suggest that BPF is developmentally toxic at 2000 ng/L concentration in Chinese medaka and causes endocrine-related aberrations in the transcriptional network of genes.
