Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of environmental and human health technology, specifically, it relates to a PM... 2.5 An alveolar microresponse system carrying non-water-soluble particles and an evaluation model for its relative bioavailability. Background Technology
[0002] Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) 2.5 Pollution is one of the world's most pressing environmental issues. Data from the World Health Organization shows that over 90% of the world's population breathes air containing PM2.5. 2.5 Concentrations all exceeded their guidance limits, with exposure levels being particularly severe in low- and middle-income countries, where high concentrations of PM2.5 were observed. 2.5 Pollution can cause more than 7 million premature deaths worldwide each year. PM 2.5 Its chemical composition is complex, and heavy metals are a significant toxic component. Heavy metals themselves possess toxicity to various tissues and organs, while PM2.5... 2.5 Carrier non-water-soluble particles (PM) 2.5 PM2.5 (PM2.5) is characterized by its diverse chemical forms, abundant content, wide spread, and high absorption rate by the body, potentially causing greater health hazards. However, in toxicological effect studies, PM2.5... 2.5 The bioaccumulation, absorption characteristics, and mechanisms of -M have not yet been clarified.
[0003] Respiratory exposure has been proven to be PM2.5 2.5 -M enters the human body primarily through absorption. During respiratory exposure, lung tissue plays a crucial role in the body's absorption and transport of PM2.5. 2.5 -M is crucial. Existing research focuses on PM. 2.5 The main findings of -M lung exposure revolve around the following three aspects: 1) water-soluble PM2.5 2.5 - Characteristics and in vitro models of pulmonary degradation and absorption of PM2.5; 2) Water-soluble PM2.5 2.5 - Characteristics and mechanisms of M transpulmonary transport; 3) In vitro PM testing using simulated lung fluid 2.5 -M bioavailability study analysis. Meanwhile, non-water-soluble PM2.5... 2.5 -M is often considered to have extremely low bioavailability, thus no studies have been conducted specifically targeting non-water-soluble PM2.5. 2.5 -M is conducting research on the characteristics and mechanisms of transpulmonary absorption. Although existing research in PM 2.5 Significant breakthroughs have been achieved in the transport and absorption of PM2.5 via the respiratory exposure pathway, but non-water-soluble PM2.5 remains a concern. 2.5 The chemical reaction process, system, and bioavailability assessment model of -M in lung tissue still need to be explored.

[0086] Example 1
[0087] A type of PM 2.5 Intraalveolar microreaction systems carrying non-water-soluble particles, such as Figure 1 As shown, its construction includes the following specific steps:
[0088] 1. Establish non-water-soluble PM 2.5 -Pb particle bioaccumulation and relative bioavailability model
[0089] ① Constructing animal exposure models
[0090] (a) Atmospheric PM2.5 samples were collected using a medium-flow intelligent TSP sampler. 2.5 -M sample was ball-milled to below 2.5 μm as a standard for compound M to obtain PM. 2.5 -M exposure, weigh the collected filter membrane, and detect PM on the filter membrane using an X-ray diffractometer. 2.5 -M form and content, detecting atmospheric PM2.5 2.5 -M mainly consists of non-water-soluble lead particulate matter (PM2.5). 2.5 The composition and proportions of Pb3O4 (45.88%), PbS (35.69%), PbSO4 (12.59%), and PbO2 (5.84%) were mixed with physiological saline (0.9%) to prepare PM2.5. 2.5 -Pb suspension. Lead acetate was selected as the water-soluble control lead, and a suspension was prepared with PM2.5. 2.5 -Pb suspension is equivalent to a water-soluble Pb(Ac)2 solution of the same concentration.

[0112] 2. Constructing water-insoluble PM 2.5 -Pb alveolar microreaction system model
[0113] Non-water-soluble PM 2.5 - After Pb enters the alveoli through inhalation, it adsorbs lung surfactants to form a coating layer and interacts with lipid proteins in the coating layer to form a microreaction system. The specific steps are as follows:
[0114] ①PM 2.5 -Pb incubation and extraction of Pb adsorbates
[0115] (a) Eight-week-old SD rats were selected and anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of sodium pentobarbital. Lung lavage fluid was collected by lavage with physiological saline and then freeze-dried to prepare lung surfactant powder (lung surfactant is a mixture of lipids and proteins secreted by epithelial cells in the alveolar cavity). The lipid and protein contents of the lung surfactant powder were detected using a lipid assay and a BCA protein kit, and the protein and lipid contents were found to be 14.49 mg / g and 174.99 mg / g, respectively. The lung surfactant powder was then reconstituted with pure water to prepare a lung surfactant incubation solution (lipid content 1 mg / mL).
[0116] (b) PM 2.5 -Pb suspension was added to lung surfactant incubation solution at a solid-liquid ratio of 1 g: 5000 mL. After incubation at 37°C and 120 rpm for 24 h with constant temperature shaking, an equal volume of 30% sucrose solution was added, and the mixture was centrifuged at 4°C and 8000 g for 15 min. The precipitate particles were washed three times with pure water. 1 mL of chloroform-methanol solution (organic phase) with a volume ratio of 2:1 was added to the precipitate particles, vortexed for 10 min, and centrifuged at 4°C and 8000 g for 10 min. This process was repeated three times, and the organic phase containing lipids and proteins was collected. Subsequently, 1 mL of 4% SDS solution (aqueous phase) was added to the precipitate particles, heated at 95°C for 10 min, and then vortexed for 5 min. This process was repeated twice under the same conditions, and the aqueous phase containing proteins was collected.
[0117] (c) Mix the organic phase and the aqueous phase at a volume ratio of 5:1, vortex for 30 min, and then centrifuge at 4 °C and 2400 rpm for 10 min to separate the lipid-containing organic phase and the protein-containing aqueous phase. Blow the organic phase dry with nitrogen to obtain the lipids adsorbed on Pb. Mix the aqueous phase at a volume ratio of 1:3 with acetone and precipitate overnight at -80 °C. Then centrifuge at 4 °C and 20000 g for 15 min to obtain the protein adsorbed on Pb.
[0118] ② Screening lipids and proteins
[0119] (a) Lipids and proteins adsorbed on Pb were detected using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS / MS). Based on whether the proteins possessed metal-binding sites, the screened proteins were classified into metal-associated proteins and ordinary proteins. The results are as follows: Figure 2-4 As shown. Figure 2 This is a lipidomics diagram showing the lipid content in the non-water-soluble particle adsorption layer. From... Figure 2 It can be seen that lipids with a PP content ≥ 60% are PC, and the representative lipid in PC is DPPC; Figure 3 This is a graph showing the differential pharmacological composition of common proteins in the adsorption layer of insoluble particles. From... Figure 3 It can be seen that the proteins with differential FC ≥ 120 are Clathrin heavy chain 1, Ras-related protein Rab-5C, Histone H2B type 2-B, and Actin-related protein 2; Figure 4 This is a graph showing the chemical differences in metal-binding proteins within the adsorption layer of insoluble particles. From... Figure 4 It can be seen that proteins with differential FC ≥ 15 are Catalase, Ras GTPase-activating-like protein, Fibrinogen gamma chain, Annexin A7, Pigment epithelium-derived factor, and Serine / threonine-protein phosphatase 5. From... Figure 2-4 The results show the types, degree of difference, and content of lipids and proteins adsorbed on Pb compared to those in the pulmonary surfactant incubation solution, indicating that PM 2.5 -Pb can selectively adsorb lipids and proteins in pulmonary surfactants.
[0120] (b) Using difference as the screening index for proteins, Catalase, Fibrinogen gammachain, Serine / threonine-protein phosphatase-5, and Ras-related protein Rab-5C were selected; using content as the screening index for lipids, DPPC lipids were selected.
[0121] ③ Assemble the microreaction system
[0122] (a) The protein selected in step ② was used as the protein component of the microreaction system, DPPC as the lipid component, and Gamble's solution as the simulated lung fluid. The protein component (each protein concentration was determined by 100-fold UPLC-MS / MS), lipid component (lipid concentration was 0.1 mg / mL), simulated lung fluid, and PM2.5 were compared. 2.5 -Pb suspension (total amount of M) origin The four components were mixed at a solid-liquid ratio of 1g:5000mL and incubated at 37℃ and 120rpm for 1h under constant temperature shaking to assemble a microreaction system. The composition of this system is shown in Tables 2 and 3.
