Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) has been widely used as a plasticizer in industry and can affect memory; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, mouse HT22 cells, an immortalized hippocampal neuronal cell line, was utilized as anin vitromodel. We showed that DEHP dramatically inhibited cell viability and increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release from the cells in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that DEHP could cause cytotoxicity of mouse HT22 cells. The protein levels of cleaved Caspase-8, cleaved Caspase-3, and Bax markedly increased in the DEHP-treated cells, whereas there was a significant decrease in the Bcl-2 protein level, implying that DEHP could induce apoptosis of mouse HT22 cells. DEHP exposure significantly increased the content of malondialdehyde, whereas it markedly decreased the level of glutathione and the activities of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase, suggesting that DEHP induced oxidative stress of the cells. Compared with the DEHP-treated group, the inhibition of cell viability and the release of LDH were rescued in theN-acetyl-l-cysteine plus DEHP group. Furthermore, inhibition of oxidative stress could rescue the induction of apoptosis by DEHP. Collectively, our results indicated that DEHP could induce apoptosis of mouse HT22 cells via oxidative stress.
