Jung I, Cho YJ, Park M, Park K, Lee SH, Kim WH, Jeong H, Lee JE, Kim GY. Proteomic analysis reveals activation of platelet- and fibrosis-related pathways in hearts of ApoE -/- mice exposed to diesel exhaust particles. Sci Rep 2023; 13:22636. [PMID: 38114606 PMCID: PMC10730529 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-49790-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Air pollution is an environmental risk factor linked to multiple human diseases including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). While particulate matter (PM) emitted by diesel exhaust damages multiple organ systems, heart disease is one of the most severe pathologies affected by PM. However, the in vivo effects of diesel exhaust particles (DEP) on the heart and the molecular mechanisms of DEP-induced heart dysfunction have not been investigated. In the current study, we attempted to identify the proteomic signatures of heart fibrosis caused by diesel exhaust particles (DEP) in CVDs-prone apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE-/-) mice model using tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomic analysis. DEP exposure induced mild heart fibrosis in ApoE-/- mice compared with severe heart fibrosis in ApoE-/- mice that were treated with CVDs-inducing peptide, angiotensin II. TMT-based quantitative proteomic analysis of heart tissues between PBS- and DEP-treated ApoE-/- mice revealed significant upregulation of proteins associated with platelet activation and TGFβ-dependent pathways. Our data suggest that DEP exposure could induce heart fibrosis, potentially via platelet-related pathways and TGFβ induction, causing cardiac fibrosis and dysfunction.

[PMID: 37696875 PMCID: PMC10495463 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-41962-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Process of grain drying is discussed by the authors, which is considered one of the preliminary stages in the technology of biodiesel production. The drying process has a number of disadvantages that affect the quality and cost of biodiesel fuel. The impossibility of uniform heating and maintaining the required temperature with minimal energy costs is considered one of the most important defects that deserve scientific research. The authors propose a method for changing the heating system and preheating raw materials, based on world experience. We carried out mathematical calculations, provided the change in the temperature field of the drying chamber over time, and we also performed industrial experiment. Based on our results we determined the optimal number of heating sources of raw materials, taking into account the dimensions of the drying chamber. The authors propose a technical solution with which a uniform temperature field can be obtained in the drying chamber. Thus, the uniformity of the chamber heating will be increased, and large operating costs associated with leakage of oil from the grains will be disappeared.
