Abstract

Background: Particulate matter (PM) has been associated to adverse health effects in exposed population and DNA damage has been extensively reported in in vitro systems exposed to fine PM (PM2.5). The ability to induce gene expression profile modulation, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and strand breaks to DNA molecules has been investigated in A549 cells exposed to winter and summer Milan PM2.5. Results: A549 cells, exposed to 10μg/cm 2 of both winter and summer PM2.5, showed increased cytotoxicity at 24h and a significant increase of ROS at 3h of treatment. Despite these similar effects winter PM induced a higher number of gene modulation in comparison with summer PM. Both PMs modulated genes related to the response to xenobiotic stimuli (CYP1A1, CYP1B1, TIPARP, ALDH1A3, AHRR) and to the cell-cell signalling (GREM1) pathways with winter PM2.5 inducing higher fold increases. Moreover the winter fraction modulated also JUN (cell-cell signalling), GDF15, SIPA1L2 (signal transduction), and HMOX1 (oxidative stress). Two genes, epiregulin (EREG) and FOS-like antigen1 (FOSL1), were significantly up-regulated by summer PM2.5. The results obtained with the microarray approach have been confirmed by qPCR and by the analysis of CYP1B1 expression. Comet assay evidenced that winter PM2.5 induced more DNA strand breaks than the summer one. Conclusion: Winter PM2.5 is able to induce gene expression alteration, ROS production and DNA damage. These effects are likely to be related to the CYP enzyme activation in response to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) adsorbed on particle surface. © 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
