摘要： Tetrachlorobisphenol A (TCBPA), a widely used halogenated flame retardant, is frequently detected in environmental compartments and human samples. However, unknown developmental toxicity and mechanisms limit the entire understanding of its effects. In this study, zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos were exposed to various concentrations of TCBPA while a combination of transcriptomics, behavioral and biochemical analyzes as well as metabolomics were applied to decipher its toxic effects and the potential mechanisms. We found that TCBPA could interfere with nervous and cardiovascular development through focal adhesion and extracellular matrix-receptor (ECM-receptor) interaction pathways through transcriptomic analysis. Behavioral and biochemical analysis results indicated abnormal swimming behavior of zebrafish larvae. Morphological observations revealed that TCBPA could cause the loss of head blood vessels. Metabolomic analysis showed that arginine-related metabolic pathways were one of the main pathways leading to TCBPA developmental toxicity. Our study demonstrated that by using omics, TCBPA was shown to have neurological and cardiovascular developmental toxicity and the underlying mechanisms were uncovered and major pathways identified.
