description | Benzotriazole ultraviolet stabilizers (BUVSs) are pervasive environmental contaminants that pose significant risks to human health. This study evaluated the effects of three typical BUVSs (UV-328, UV-329, and UV-P) on human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), which play crucial roles in tissue maintenance and repair. hMSCs were exposed to BUVSs across a range of concentrations, and their maintenance and differentiation capacities were assessed. At concentrations below 50 μM, no significant cytotoxicity was observed. However, at non-cytotoxic doses, UV-P exhibited stronger effects on the differentiation of hMSCs compared to UV-328 and UV-329, significantly inhibiting adipogenesis and enhancing osteogenesis. Mechanistically, UV-P was found to significantly enrich the PPAR signaling pathway during both differentiation processes. Dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed UV-P's interaction with PPARγ_LBD at an alternate binding site outside the canonical pocket. These findings raise concerns about the health impacts of BUVSs, particularly UV-P, and underscore the need for further investigation into their toxicological profiles. |
