The reproductive toxicity of plasticizer di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) and its active metabolite monobutyl phthalate (MBP) has been demonstrated in rodents. The objective of this study was to explore roles of vimentin and miRNA-200c in steroidogenesis interfered by MBP. Mouse Leydig tumor cells (MLTC-1) and murine adrenocortical tumor cells (Y1) were employed and exposed to various levels of MBP (10(-7), 10(-6), 10(-5) and 10(-4) M). Steroid hormone production was increased significantly when MLTC-1 and Y1 cells were exposed to MBP at 10(-7) M. Additionally, vimentin and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) expressions were upregulated at the same dose. It was found that MBP increased the steroidogenesis by facilitating the cholesterol transfer process by vimentin. In contrast, miRNA-200c expression was depressed at doses of MBP (10(-7) M) in both cells. Moreover, vimentin expression and progesterone production were increased in both MLTC-1 and Y1 cells after miRNA-200c expression was artificially inhibited. These results strongly suggested that MBP raised steroid hormone synthesis via upregulated vimentin by miRNA-200c. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
