The study found that combining multiple food contaminants increased intracellular reactive oxygen species, calcium flux, DNA damage, etc., disrupting the function of organelles. This emphasizes the complexity of human exposure to food contaminants and the need for strict regulatory standards.
Food is often exposed to multiple types of contaminants, and the coexistence of contaminants may have antagonistic, additive or synergistic effects. This study investigated the combinatorial toxicity of the three most widespread exogenous contaminants, decabrominated diphenyl ether (BDE-209), bisphenol A (BPA), and acrylamide (ACR) to HepG2 cells. A mathematical model (Chou-Talalay) and high-content analysis (HCA) were used to probe the nature of the contaminants' interactions and their cytotoxicity mechanisms, respectively. The results highlighted that for the individual pollutants, the cytotoxicity order was BDE-209> BPA > ACR, and varying combinations of contaminants exhibited additive/synergistic effects. In general, combining multiple contaminants significantly increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), Ca2+ flux, DNA damage and Caspase-3, and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and nucleus roundness, indicating that the additive or synergistic mechanism of the combined contaminations was disturbance to multiple organelles. This study emphasizes the complexity of human exposure to food contaminants and provides a scientific basis for formulating strict regulatory standards.
