description The extensive applications of parabens in foods, drugs, and cosmetics cause inevitable exposure to humans. Revealing the developmental toxicity of parabens is of utmost importance regarding their safety evaluation. In this study, the effects of four commonly used parabens, including methyl paraben (20 ∼ 200 μM), ethyl paraben (20 ∼ 100 μM), propyl paraben (5 ∼ 20 μM), and butyl paraben (BuP, 2 ∼ 10 μM), were investigated on the early development of zebrafish embryos and larvae. The underlying mechanisms were explored from the aspect of their disturbance in the thyroid endocrine system using in vivo, in vitro, and in silico assays. Paraben exposure caused deleterious effects on the early development of zebrafish, with BuP displaying the highest toxicity among all, resulting in the exposure concentration-related mortality, decreased hatching rate, reduced body length, lowered heart rate, and the incidence of malformation. Further investigation showed that paraben exposure reduced thyroid hormone levels and disturbed the transcriptional expressions of the target genes in the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis. Molecular docking analysis combined with in vitro GH3 cell proliferation assay testified that all test parabens exhibited thyroid receptor agonistic activities. The findings confirmed the developmental toxicity of the test parabens and their thyroid endocrine disruption effects, providing substantial evidence on the safety control of paraben-based preservatives.
