Multi-omics reveals hypertrophy of adipose tissue and lipid metabolism disorder via mitochondria in young mice under real-ambient exposure to air pollution

Air pollution has become one of the most serious health risks as a result of industrialization, especially in developing countries. More attention has been drawn to the relationship between obesity/overweight and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Especially for susceptible populations, the impact of...

description Air pollution has become one of the most serious health risks as a result of industrialization, especially in developing countries. More attention has been drawn to the relationship between obesity/overweight and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Especially for susceptible populations, the impact of air pollution on children and adolescents has attracted more public attentions. However, the detailed underlying mechanism influencing obesity or overweight under PM2.5 exposure is still unknown. Therefore, young mice were exposed to PM2.5 using the real-ambient exposure system that we previously established in Shijiazhuang city. Compared with the traditionally concentrated air particle (CAP) system, our real-ambient exposure system provides similar PM2.5 concentrations and characteristics as outdoor ambient air and minimizes the influence of external interfering factors. After 8 weeks of exposure to PM2.5, the weight of gonadal white adipose tissue (gWAT) and subcutaneous white adipose tissue (sWAT) was considerably increased, accompanied by a significantly enlarged size of adipocytes in sWAT. Importantly, multiomics analysis indicated altered metabolites involved in the lipid metabolism pathway, and transcriptomic analysis revealed notably changed signaling pathways related to fatty acid metabolism. Moreover, the mtDNA copy number, mitochondrial activity and fatty acid oxidation (FAO) were increased in the liver under PM2.5 exposure. Taken together, our research investigated the hypotrophy of adipose tissue in young mice, supported an imbalance in lipid metabolism based on multiomics analysis, and revealed disordered mitochondrial function under PM2.5 exposure. Our study provided new insight into the hazardous effects of air pollution, and extended our understanding on the underlying mechanism.
