Abstract
En 中文
Benzene exposure has been linked to various adverse health effects. However, the effective strategy for prevention or treatment of benzene-induced hematotoxicity remains unsolved. We previously administrated hepatocyte-specific deletion of Ppp2r1a gene (encoding PP2A A alpha subunit) mice with benzene via inhalation for 28 days, and found homozygote (HO) mice exhibited alleviative hematotoxicity compared with wild type (WT) mice. Here, we integrate untargeted metabolomics and transcriptomics data to identify the key metabolic pathways and metabolites attenuating benzene-induced hematotoxicity. Metabolomics analysis revealed the perturbation of nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, as well as taurine and hypotaurine metabolism pathways, were implicated in regulating benzene-induced hematotoxicity. Meanwhile, transcriptome analysis showed that immune-, inflammation-, and metabolism-related pathways were obviously disturbed in WT mice groups upon benzene exposure, while sirtuin signaling pathway, associated with nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, was activated in HO mice groups. Notably, combined metabolomics and transcriptomics analysis further confirmed the involvement of nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism pathways in relieving benzene-induced hematotoxicity. Specific metabolites, including 1-methylnicotinamide (MNA), nicotinamide (NA), beta-nicotinamide mononucleotides (NMN), and taurine were identified as the potential metabolites alleviating benzene-induced adverse effects. In vitro experiments demonstrated the protective effect of MNA and NA against 1,4-benzoquinone (1,4-BQ)-caused cytotoxicity in HL-60 cells. In vivo, MNA supplementation in drinking water could effectively restore the decline in white blood cell (WBC), lymphocyte (LYMPH), and reticulocyte (RET) counts, also mitigate oxidative damage and genotoxicity in response to benzene exposure. These observations highlight the potential of MNA supplementation as a strategy for preventing benzene-caused hematotoxicity.
