description | Particulate matter (PM) has become the main risk factor for public health, being linked with an increased risk of respiratory diseases. However, the potential mechanisms underlying PM-induced lung injury have not been well elucidated. In this study, we systematically integrated the metabolomics, lipidomics, and transcriptomics data obtained from the human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) exposed to PM to reveal metabolic disorders in PM-induced lung injury. We identified 170 differentially expressed metabolites (82 upregulated and 88 downregulated metabolites), 218 differentially expressed lipid metabolites (125 upregulated and 93 downregulated lipid metabolites), and 1417 differentially expressed genes (643 upregulated and 774 downregulated genes). Seven key metabolites (prostaglandin E2, inosinic acid, L-arginine, L-citrulline, L-leucine, adenosine, and adenosine monophosphate), and two main lipid subclasses (triglyceride and phosphatidylcholine) were identified in PM-exposed HBECs. The amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, and carbohydrate metabolism were the significantly enriched pathways of identified differentially expressed genes. Then, conjoint analysis of these three omics data and further qRT-PCR validation showed that arachidonic acid metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism, and glutathione metabolism were the key metabolic pathways in PM-exposed HBECs. The knockout of AKR1C3 in arachidonic acid metabolism or GPAT3 in glycerolipid metabolism could significantly inhibit PM-induced inflammatory responses in HBECs. These results revealed the potential metabolic pathways in PM-exposed HBECs and provided a new target to protect from PM-induced airway damage. |
