Phthalic acid esters pose harm to human health by affecting the oxygen-carrying function of red blood cells. High doses of DMP were found to reduce Hb content and increase granulocyte content, while in vitro experiments demonstrated an increase in iron release with DMP concentration. Vitamin C and E were observed to reduce iron release induced by DMP through oxidative stress.
Phthalic acid esters (PAEs), as typical hormone pollutants, do harms to human health after enrichment over a long term exposure, causing the loss of oxygen-carrying function of red blood cells (RBCs). This study has investigated the mechanism for the toxicity of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) on the oxygen-carrying function of RBCs by measuring the iron release content of hemoglobin (Hb) in vivo and in vitro. The hematologic examination showed that the high dose of DMP at 1000 mg/kg significantly reduced the Hb content and increased the granulocyte content, whereas such toxicity was not relatively observed at a low (50 mg/kg) or a medium (250 mg/kg) dose of DMP. The in vitro experiments showed that DMP, incubated with RBCs, increased the iron release content as a function of DMP concentration. Interestingly, such a phenomenon was not observed when DMP was incubated with Hb alone, indicating that the release of hemoglobin iron could not directly caused by the combination of DMP and hemoglobin. The in vivo experiments indicated that DMP induced iron release and oxidative stress for rat RBCs. Moreover, vitamin C and E was found to reduce the level of iron release by recovering erythrocytes from the oxidative stress induced by DMP. This work has revealed that the oxidative stress induced by DMP, causing the release of Hb iron from RBCs, is the reason for the toxicity of DMP to the oxygen-carrying function.
