Occupational poisoning caused by high concentration of 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) exposure has received extensive attention of the whole society. Our previous study suggested that low concentration of 1,2-DCE exposure could result in the change of the glutamate (Glu) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) contents in the brain of the experimental animals, and further induce behavior abnormalities. The results of epidemiological investigation about occupational population also showed that long-term exposure to low concentration of 1,2-DCE might cause damage to the central nervous system (CNS) of the occupational population. So far, the research data on long-term exposure to low concentration of 1,2-DCE caused the CNS damage is few, and the toxicological mechanism involved 1,2-DCE induced neurotoxicity remains poorly understood. The aim of this study is to explore the effects of long-term exposure to low concentration of 1,2-DCE on Glu and GABA metabolism in astrocytes (AC), and determine the relationship between the Glu abnormal metabolism and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) mediated NO-sGC-cGMP signaling pathway. The results of the present study might provide scientific reference for the clarification of the initial target site of the toxic effects on CNS caused by long-term exposure to low concentration of 1,2-DCE and its prevention and treatment work in occupational poisoning.
较高浓度1,2-二氯乙烷(1,2-DCE)暴露引起的职业中毒已经受到全社会的广泛关注。我们前期研究结果提示,较低浓度的1,2-DCE暴露可引起实验动物脑组织中谷氨酸(Glu)和γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)含量的异常,并导致动物行为的异常。职业人群流行病学调查结果也显示,长期接触低浓度1,2-DCE可能对职业暴露人群的中枢神经系统(CNS)产生危害。迄今,有关低浓度1,2-DCE长期接触引起CNS损伤的研究资料极少,其神经毒作用机制尚属空白。本项目拟通过探讨低浓度1,2-DCE长期暴露对星形胶质细胞(AC)内Glu与GABA代谢关键环节的影响,明确Glu代谢异常与1,2-DCE对N-甲基-D-天门冬氨酸受体(NMDAR)介导的NO-sGC-cGMP信号转导通路影响之间的内在联系,为揭示低浓度1,2-DCE长期暴露所致CNS损伤的初始靶作用位点及1,2-DCE职业中毒的防治工作提供科学的参考依据。
