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.
