Bisphenol A (BPA) is a monomer of plastic products widely used in daily life, and has weak estrogenic activity. In this study, male BALB/c mice were treated with BPA and diethylstilbestrol (DES) in adult and fetal periods to investigate whether BPA could affect prostatic epithelial differentiation. Eight-to 9-week-old mice treated for 3 weeks with subcutaneous implants of 0.2-200 mg BPA pellets induced the expression of cytokeratin 10 (CK10) in prostatic basal epithelial cells in a dose-dependent manner. Utilizing organ culture of adult prostate, 1 nM and 1 mu M BPA also induced CK10 expression and squamous metaplasia with multilayering of basal epithelial cells, respectively. Fetal exposure to low-dose BPA (20 mu g/kg/day) from gestation day (GD) 13 to GD18 induced permanent CK10 expression in basal cells of the adult prostate similar to DES (0.2 mu g/kg/day). These results indicate that in mouse, BPA can directly elicit CK10 expression in prostatic epithelium, and that this change can be elicited by doses as low as 20 mu g/kg/day. We speculate that low-dose BPA during fetal life may also induce permanent squamous change in human prostate.
