ABSTRACT
N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine quinone (6-PPDQ), a transformation product of tyre-derived 6-PPD, has been frequently detected in different environments. After 6-PPDQ exposure, we here aimed to examine dynamic lung bioaccumulation, lung injury, and the underlying molecular basis in male BALB/c mice. After single injection at concentration of 4 mg/kg, 6-PPDQ remained in lung up to day 28, and higher level of 6-PPDQ bioaccumulation in lung was observed after repeated injection. Severe inflammation was observed in lung after both single and repeated 6-PPDQ injection as indicated by changes of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10). Sirius red staining and hydroxyproline content analysis indicated that repeated rather than single 6-PPDQ injection induced fibrosis in lung. Repeated 6-PPDQ injection also severely impaired lung function in mice by influencing chord compliance (Cchord) and enhanced pause (Penh). Proteomes analysis was further carried out to identify molecular targets of 6-PPDQ after repeated injection, which was confirmed by transcriptional expression analysis and immunohistochemistry staining. Alterations in Ripk1, Fadd, Il-6st, and Il-16 expressions were identified to be associated with inflammation induction of lung after repeated 6-PPDQ injection. Alteration in Smad2 expression was identified to be associated with fibrosis formation in lung of 6-PPDQ exposed mice. Therefore, long-term and repeated 6-PPDQ exposure potentially resulted in inflammation and fibrosis in lung by affecting certain molecular signals in mammals. Our results suggested several aspects of lung injury caused by 6-PPDQ and provide the underlying molecular basis. These observations implied the possible risks of long-term 6-PPDQ exposure to human health.
