We report studies on the mechanism of action of bisphenol A (BPA) on the differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). Our results show that: ( 1) BPA inhibits the differentiation of OPCs induced by exposure to thyroid hormone (T-3). ( 2) The effect is mediated through various mechanisms via the thyroid hormone receptor (TRbeta1) which is considered to be responsible for OPC differentiation. ( 3) The action of BPA on OPC differentiation does not involve the FcRgamma-Fyn-myelin basic protein (MBP) cascade as an inducer of OPC differentiation nor does it suppress CREB phosphorylation, which is considered to be induced by the T-3-TR complex. (4) The presence of MBP isoforms (21.5, 18.5, 17.0 and 14.0 kDa) was detected in OPCs, and the expression of exon 2-containing isoforms (i.e. 17.0 and 21.5 kDa) was upregulated upon treatment with T-3. In contrast, expression of MBP was inhibited by BPA. Copyright (C) 2004 S. Karger AG, Basel.
