摘要
砷(As)与二氧化硫(SO_2)是两种分布极为广泛的环境污染物,二者皆对肝脏有一定毒性.SO_2排放的增加,使许多受到原生高As地下水影响的居民同时遭遇SO_2污染,因此,本文探讨了SO_2对As暴露致肝脏损伤的影响和机制.以C57BL/6小鼠为试验模型,设置对照组、As处理组、SO_2处理组及SO_2与As联合处理组,检测5 mg·m~(-3) SO_2和/或5 mg·L~(-1) As暴露对小鼠肝脏氧化应激指标、炎症信号通路及肝脏组织结构的影响.结果发现,饮水As暴露组小鼠产生氧化应激损伤,并激活炎症信号通路,导致小鼠肝脏损伤;As与SO_2联合组氧化应激水平高于As或SO_2单独暴露组,炎症信号通路NF-κB及STAT-3的关键因子显著上调表达,肝组织结构损伤加重.研究表明,SO_2会加重As暴露引发的肝脏氧化应激与炎性反应,两者间联合效应促进了肝脏组织结构的损伤.
Arsenic(As) and sulfur dioxide(SO_2) are two environmental pollutants which has been shown to induce liver injury. In recent years, due to increased pollution, humans are often exposed to As, and SO_2. The effects of As and SO_2 co-exposure on mice liver injury and its possible mechanism were studied in this paper. C57 BL/6 mice were selected as the tested animals, and were divided into control group, As treatment group, SO_2 treatment group and SO_2-As co-exposure group. The expression levels of NF-κB and STAT-3 and morphology of mouse livers were observed after sulfur dioxide(5 mg·m~(-3)) and/or arsenic(5 mg·L~(-1)) exposure for 30 days. Compared with control group, As or SO_2 both could cause liver injury, and interestingly, As and SO_2 co-exposure induced more serious injuries via promoting oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. The expression levels of downstream genes in the NF-κB and STAT-3 pathways were higher in mice livers in the co-exposure group than in the groups of As or SO_2 exposure alone. The present results indicates that SO_2-As co-exposure induces more serious injuries compared with As or SO_2 exposure alone.
