Abstract

Cardiovascular toxicity of lead (Pb) manifests primarily as an effect on blood pressure and eventual increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events. Therefore, we investigated vascular inflammatory biomarkers and cardiovascular effects of Pb-exposed children. A total of 590 children (3-7 years old) were recruited from Guiyu (n = 337), an electronic waste (e-waste)-exposed group, and Haojiang (n = 253), a reference group, from November to December 2016. We measured child blood Pb levels (BPbs), and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Pulse pressure was calculated for the latter two. Serum biomarkers including lipid profiles and inflammatory cytokines, and plasma lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) were detected. Unadjusted regression analysis illustrated that higher ln-transformed BPb associated with lower systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure. After adjustment for various confounders, the relational degree of lnBPb and blood pressure measures became slightly attenuated or not significant. Elevated BPb was associated with higher Lp-PLA2, interleukin (IL)-6, triglycerides (TG) and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Lp-PLA2 remained inversely associated with pulse pressure and HDL, but positively with ratios of total cholesterol to HDL (Tc/HDL) and low-density lipoprotein to HDL (LDL/HDL). IL-6 was associated negatively with systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure and HDL, and positively associated with TG, Tc/HDL and LDL/HDL. The mediation effect of biomarkers on the association of BPb with pulse pressure was insignificant except for Lp-PLA2. Available data supports the conclusion that e-waste-exposed children with higher BPbs and concomitant abnormal measures of cardiovascular physiology have an augmented prevalence of vascular inflammation, as well as lipid disorder.

摘要

铅(Pb)的心血管毒性主要表现为对血压的影响,最终增加动脉粥样硬化和心血管事件的风险。因此,我们研究了 Pb 暴露儿童的血管炎症生物标志物和心血管效应。2016 年 11 月至 12 月,我们从电子废物(e-waste)暴露组的贵屿(n=337)和对照组濠江(n=253)招募了 590 名 3-7 岁儿童。我们测量了儿童血铅水平(BPbs)、收缩压和舒张压。后两者计算脉压。检测血清生物标志物,包括血脂谱和炎症细胞因子,以及血浆脂蛋白相关磷脂酶 A2(Lp-PLA2)。未调整的回归分析表明,ln 转化的 BPb 与收缩压和脉压降低相关。调整各种混杂因素后,lnBPb 与血压测量值的相关性略有减弱或不再显著。较高的 BPb 与较高的 Lp-PLA2、白细胞介素(IL)-6、甘油三酯(TG)和较低的高密度脂蛋白(HDL)相关。Lp-PLA2 与脉压和 HDL 呈负相关,与总胆固醇与 HDL(TC/HDL)和低密度脂蛋白与 HDL(LDL/HDL)的比值呈正相关。IL-6 与收缩压、脉压和 HDL 呈负相关,与 TG、TC/HDL 和 LDL/HDL 呈正相关。除了 Lp-PLA2 之外,生物标志物对 BPb 与脉压之间关联的中介效应不显著。现有数据支持这样的结论,即暴露于电子废物的儿童血铅水平较高,同时伴有心血管生理学的异常指标,其血管炎症和脂质紊乱的发生率更高。
