妊娠期有机磷酸酯暴露对子代神经发育的损害及其胎盘神经递质的中介作用

Impact of prenatal organophosphate esters exposure on offspring neurodevelopmental impairment and potential mediating role of placental neurotransmitter

  • 摘要: 近年来,有机磷酸酯(OPEs)作为一种广泛应用于工业和消费品中的化学物质,已成为环境中普遍存在的污染物,引起了人们对其对人类健康,特别是对胎儿神经发育影响的担忧。目前,虽然有研究表明妊娠期OPEs暴露可能对胎儿神经发育存在负面影响,但其机制尚不十分清楚。胎盘神经递质在胎儿神经发育关键期发挥重要作用,其合成、释放、转运和表达受到环境等多方面因素的动态调控。本综述基于胎盘神经递质在胎儿神经发育过程中的潜在中介作用,系统回顾了妊娠期OPEs暴露、母体胎盘神经递质变化以及子代神经发育异常三者关联的研究。多数研究表明,OPEs可能通过影响胎盘神经递质稳态,进而影响胎儿神经发育。本综述首次系统性地总结了OPEs通过影响胎盘神经递质对子代神经发育长期影响的研究成果,揭示了OPEs神经毒性的新机制,为理解OPEs对神经发育的影响提供了新的视角。

     

    Abstract: In recent years, organophosphate esters (OPEs), widely used in industrial and consumer products, have become ubiquitous environmental contaminants, raising concerns about their potential effects on human health, particularly fetal neurodevelopment. While published studies have suggested that prenatal exposure to OPEs may negatively impact fetal neurodevelopment, the mechanisms remain unclear. Placental neurotransmitters play a crucial role in fetal neurodevelopment during critical periods, with their synthesis, release, transport, and expression dynamically regulated by various factors, including environmental influences. This review, based on potential mediating role of placental neurotransmitters in fetal neurodevelopment, systematically reviewed studies examining the associations between prenatal OPEs exposure, alterations in maternal placental neurotransmitters, and neurodevelopmental abnormalities in offspring. The majority of studies suggested that OPEs may impact fetal neurodevelopment by interfering with placental neurotransmitter homeostasis. This review provided the first systematic overview of research demonstrating the long-term impact of OPEs on offspring neurodevelopment via placental neurotransmitters, revealing novel mechanisms of OPEs neurotoxicity, and offering a new understanding of the potential mechanisms of OPEs action on neurodevelopment.
