项目摘要
Project Summary
Perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) is a short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) used in industrial
and consumer products, such as aqueous film forming foam (AFFF), food wrappers, stain repellants on furniture,
and makeup. PFHxA use is not regulated in the United States. PFHxA is found ubiquitously in the environment
significantly contaminating soil and water resulting in humans being exposed through ingestion. Epidemiology
literature has reported PFHxA in maternal serum and breastmilk, and PFHxA crosses the placenta. Together,
these data demonstrate that fetuses are exposed through the placenta and infants through breast feeding. In
humans, PFHxA accumulates higher in the cerebellum than in most other brain regions. The cerebellum is critical
to both motor and cognitive functions, is the home of 50% of the neurons, has a unique cytoarchitecture, and
develops later than other regions making it an important region to study in the context of developmental toxicant
exposures. While the health effects of PFHxA are still largely unstudied, it is well established that legacy PFAS
alter immune function, including suppressing peripheral immune responses. However, the effects of PFHxA on
the immune cells of the brain, microglia, have not been investigated. Microglia have the same mesodermal
origins as peripheral immune cells, suggesting that developmental exposures may target microglial function.
Interestingly, microglia in the cerebellum may be particularly sensitive to neurotoxicants compared to microglia
in other brain regions as they have a unique transcriptomic profile. In addition to immune function, microglia play
a critical role in brain development by aiding in angiogenesis, providing factors for myelin development, and
pruning synapses thereby remodeling neural circuits. Thus developmental PFHxA exposure could affect their
immune and neuroanatomical functions. Despite the importance of microglia in brain development and evidence
that PFHxA enters the brain, PFHxA has not been investigated in the mammalian nervous system. Based on
evidence from epidemiology studies on PFHxA as well as long-chain PFAS, I hypothesize that gestational and
lactational exposure to PFHxA in a mouse model disrupts cerebellar development, affecting neuronal and glial
phenotypes, as well as motor activity. Microglia may be uniquely affected by this exposure, becoming
immunosuppressed. To test this hypothesis, I will pursue two aims using a mouse model representing human
exposure to PFHxA during gestation and lactation. The first aim will investigate how gestational and lactational
exposure to PFHxA affects neuron and glia phenotypes using RNA sequencing and immunohistochemistry
(IHC). This aim will also investigate how this exposure affects animal behaviors, especially those related to the
cerebellum. The second will determine if microglia are altered at the genetic, protein, and dynamic level by using
RNA sequencing, IHC, and two-photon microscopy. These experiments will show, for the first time, whether
PFHxA exposure during brain development is neurotoxic and will also guide regulators from multiple agencies
when considering PFHxA exposure to humans.
项目摘要
全氟己酸(PFHxA)是一种短链全氟和多氟烷基物质(PFAS),用于工业生产。

根据PFHxA和长链PFAS流行病学研究的证据,我假设妊娠期和

使用RNA测序和免疫组织化学研究暴露于PFHxA影响神经元和神经胶质细胞表型
(IHC)。这一目标还将调查这种暴露如何影响动物的行为,特别是那些与环境有关的行为。
小脑第二个将确定小胶质细胞是否在遗传,蛋白质和动态水平上发生改变,
RNA测序,免疫组化,和双光子显微镜。这些实验将首次表明,
大脑发育期间的PFHxA暴露具有神经毒性,也将指导多个机构的监管机构
