Effects of PFOS on Expression of HSP70 in Planarian Dugesia japonica

Abstract

Abstract: Perfluorooctane sulfonate（PFOS）is a persistent organic pollutant and has been found to be the predominant perfluorinated chemicals（PFCs）in the environment. In this study, we used planarians Dugesia japonica, which belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes, class Turbellaria, as an animal assay to evaluate the toxicological effects of PFOS on protein and mRNA expression of HSP70. The results indicated that the expression of hsp70 mRNA of planarians increased exposed to PFOS in short time and decreased when planarians regenerated of 10-days. However, protein expression of HSP70 increased significantly after regenerating planarians exposed to PFOS for 4- and 7-days, and other groups were not influenced significantly. The trend of mRNA expression were inconsistent with protern. It may be that little PFOS would inhibit the translation of HSP70, and the number of HSP70 increased to protect from toxicity of PFOS as that was accumulated in planarians.
