この研究では、乳児と成人が木煙中の汚染物質フェナントレンとリテンをどのように代謝するかを比較しました。結果、乳児はフェナントレンを成人とほぼ同じ速度で代謝しますが、最も若い乳児は代謝速度が遅いことが分かりました。また、リテンの代謝速度は年齢と共に増加し、約12ヶ月で成人と同等になります。これらの結果は、乳児がPAHs(多環芳香族炭化水素)を成人よりも遅く代謝する初の証拠であり、乳児期のPAH曝露が健康リスクを高める可能性があることを示唆しています。

Abstract

 

木材煙汚染物質の代謝を理解する: 早期のPAHs曝露への影響(Understanding Metabolism of Wood Smoke Pollutants: Implications for Early Life Exposure to PAHs)

A growing body of literature has linked early-life exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) with adverse neurodevelopmental effects. Once in the body, metabolism serves as a powerful mediator of PAH toxicity by bioactivating and detoxifying PAH metabolites. Since enzyme expression and activity vary considerably throughout human development, we evaluated infant metabolism of PAHs as a potential contributing factor to PAH susceptibility. We measured and compared rates of phenanthrene and retene (two primary PAH constituents of woodsmoke) metabolism in human hepatic microsomes from individuals ≤21 months of age to a pooled sample (n = 200) consisting primarily of adults. We used activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) to characterize cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) in the same hepatic microsome samples. Once incubated in microsomes, phenanthrene demonstrated rapid depletion. Best-fit models for phenanthrene metabolism demonstrated either 1 or 2 phases, depending on the sample, indicating that multiple enzymes could metabolize phenanthrene. We observed no statistically significant differences in phenanthrene metabolism as a function of age, although samples from the youngest individuals had the slowest phenanthrene metabolism rates. We observed slower rates of retene metabolism compared with phenanthrene also in multiple phases. Rates of retene metabolism increased in an age-dependent manner until adult (pooled) metabolism rates were achieved at ∼12 months. ABPP identified 28 unique CYPs among all samples, and we observed lower amounts of active CYPs in individuals ≤21 months of age compared to the pooled sample. Phenanthrene metabolism correlated to CYPs 1A1, 1A2, 2C8, 4A22, 3A4, and 3A43 and retene metabolism correlated to CYPs 1A1, 1A2, and 2C8 measured by ABPP and vendor-supplied substrate marker activities. These results will aid efforts to determine human health risk and susceptibility to PAHs exposure during early life.
