Internal exposure potential of water-soluble organic molecules in urban PM2.5 evaluated by non-covalent adductome of human serum albumin

Water-soluble organic molecules (WSOMs) in inhaled PM2.5 can readily translocate from the lungs into the blood circulation, facilitating their distribution to and health effects on distant organs and tissues in the human body. Human serum albumin (HSA), the most abundant protein carrier in the blood...

description Water-soluble organic molecules (WSOMs) in inhaled PM2.5 can readily translocate from the lungs into the blood circulation, facilitating their distribution to and health effects on distant organs and tissues in the human body. Human serum albumin (HSA), the most abundant protein carrier in the blood, readily binds exogenous substances to form non-covalent adducts and subsequently transports them throughout the circulatory system, thereby indicating their internal exposure. The direct internal exposure of WSOMs in PM2.5 needs to be understood. In this study, the non-covalent HSA-WSOM adductome was developed as a dosimeter to evaluate the internal exposure potential of WSOMs in urban PM2.5. The WSOM composition was acquired from non-target high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis coupled with multiple ionizations. The binding level of HSA-WSOM non-covalent adducts was obtained from surface plasma resonance. Machine learning combined WSOM composition and the binding level of HSA-WSOM non-covalent adducts to screen bindable (also internalizable) WSOMs. The concentration of WSOM ranged from 4 to 13 μg/m3 during our observation period. Of the 17,513 mass spectral features detected, 9,484 contributed to the non-covalent adductome and possessed the internal exposure potential. 102 major contributors accounted for 90.6 % of the HSA-WSOM binding level. The fraction of internalizable WSOMs in PM2.5 varied from 11.9 % to 61.3 %, averaging 26.2 %. WSOMs that have internal exposure potential were primarily lignin-like and lipid-like substances. The HSA-WSOMs non-covalent adductome represents direct internal exposure potential, which can provide crucial insights into the molecular diagnosis of PM2.5 exposure and precise assessments of PM2.5 health effects.
