[Abstract] Objective To investigate the mechanism of HMGB1/NF-κB signal pathway affecting cerebral development of offspring after exposure to PM2.5 during pregnancy. Methods Fourty pregnant Kunming mice were randomly divided into 5 groups, 8 rats in each group. PM2.5 low-dose group, medium-dose group and high-dose group were instilled 30 μL PM2.5 suspension of 0.25920, 1.56695, 3.45600 μg/μL respectively by improved technique for rapid intratracheal instillation. The control group was instilled PBS of the same volume. The blank group received no treatments. Mice were instilled tracheally once every 3 days for 7 times during pregnancy. ELISA was used to measure the levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, HMGB1 and NF-κB p65 in the cerebral cortex of offspring mice. Western blot and RT-PCR were used to detect the protein and mRNA expression of HMGB1 and NF-κB p65. Results ELISA showed that compared with the control group, the levels of IFN-γ, NF-κB p65 and HMGB1 in the high and middle dose groups were significantly lower (P < 0.05); high-dose group TNF-α increased (P < 0.05). Western blot showed that HMGB1 decreased and NF-κB p65 increased in the high and middle dose groups compared with the control group (P < 0.05). PCR showed HMGB1 mRNA unchanged; high-dose group NF-κB p65 mRNA was higher than the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion PM2.5 exposure during pregnancy may cause inflammation in the cerebral cortex of offspring mice, and HMGB1/NF-κB pathway may play an important role.

大氣细颗粒物(AD≤2.5 μm,PM2.5)成分复杂,可吸附细菌、病毒、重金属等。PM2.5通过呼吸进入机体经血液循环及胎盘影响孕妇和新生儿[1]。炎性反应是孕期PM2.5暴露影响子代认知的首要机制[2]。本课题组前期发现孕期PM2.5暴露使子代鼠心、脾、肝等脏器结构紊乱,出现炎症等病理改变[3]。目前关于PM2.5对子代脑发育影响机制的研究尚少。本研究通过检测孕期PM2.5暴露后子代鼠大脑皮层TNF-α、IFN-γ、HMGB1、NF-κB p65变化,评估孕期空气污染对胎儿神经系统的毒性作用。

3 讨论

我国每年PM2.5污染可致约120万人过早死亡和2500万健康生命损失[5]。动物脑组织暴露于PM2.5会损伤小脑、海马等[6-8]。生命早期是中枢神经形成的关键时期,孕期母体暴露于汽车尾气颗粒物危害胎仔神经系统的正常发育[9]。污染空气中雌鼠子代认知受损,考虑是综合因素作用于脑的先天免疫识别基因与神经炎症的级联反应所致[10]。孕期PM2.5暴露对胎儿神经系统的毒性机制有待深入研究。

HMGB1是非组蛋白,在脑、肝、肺等器官极丰富。一般情况下主要在细胞内表达,参与细胞分化、DNA修复等。机体受损时,细胞内HMGB1经活化细胞主动分泌或坏死细胞被动释放进入胞外或外周循环发挥致炎作用[11-14]。细胞外HMGB1能与晚期糖基化终末产物受体和Toll样受体4结合[15-16],激活NF-κB通路[16-17],产生大量TNF-α等炎症因子,引发炎症[18-19]。本研究显示与对照组相比,孕期PM2.5暴露导致模型组子代鼠大脑皮层中HMGB1蛋白表达下降,HMGB1 mRNA无改变,推测坏死或活化细胞经内质网-高尔基体途径释放HMGB1到细胞外或外周循环,星形胶质细胞等分泌的HMGB1主要来自细胞核储备而非新合成[20],故检测到模型组子代鼠大脑皮层HMGB1蛋白降低。PM2.5模型组NF-κB p65蛋白与对照组相比升高,高剂量组与对照组相比NF-κB p65 mRNA上升。孕期PM2.5暴露引起模型组大脑皮层TNF-α、IFN-γ浓度增高。

综上所述,孕期一定剂量PM2.5暴露使子代鼠大脑皮层炎症因子表达改变,HMGB1/NF-κB通路可能起关键作用。孕期PM2.5暴露影响子代脑发育是多机制调节的复杂过程,了解其对子代脑发育的影响对提高空气污染预防意识及尽早建立孕妇和胎儿特异监测指标有重要意义。
