description | Every day, people use personal care products containing UV filters. Although their use initially showed a protective role, toxicity is a concern for human health as several UV filters are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Exposure to EDCs may induce cardiovascular diseases and can affect the health of sensitive people, such as pregnant women. Currently, the world’s most widely used UV-B filter is octylmethoxycinnamate (OMC), an EDC. However, the disruptive effects on pregnant women are little known. The present work proposed to understand how long-term exposure to OMC affects vascular homeostasis. Endothelium-denuded human umbilical artery (HUA) rings were incubated in an organ bath system. Long-term effects of exposure to OMC (0.001–50 μmol/L) were evaluated on the contractile responses of HUA to the application of the contractile agents, serotonin (5-HT) and histamine (Hist). To investigate in more detail the vascular mode of action of OMC, through which it impairs the vascular homeostasis of HUA, the activity and expression of different 5-HT and Hist-receptors involved in contractility processes were studied. Our findings pointed out an increase in the reactivity of HUA to 5-HT and Hist due to OMC exposure. These alterations in reactivity may be precursors of preeclampsia development and/or gestational hypertension. |
