Sulphur dioxide (SO) and fluoride are among the most common environmental pollutants affecting human health, and both co-exist in areas predominantly consuming coal. It is vital to analyse the combined toxicity of SO and fluoride, and their effects on health and the underlying mechanisms of their co-exposure have not yet been adequately assessed. In the present study, we used ICR mice and LS8 cells to investigate the toxicity of SO and fluoride exposure to the enamel, alone or in combination. Factorial design analysis was used to reveal the combined toxicity in vitro and in vivo. Co-exposure to SO and fluoride exacerbated enamel injury, resulting in more severe hypomineralization of incisor, and enamel structure disorders in mice, and could induce the accumulation of protein residue in the matrix of the enamel. Amelogenin expression was increased upon exposure to SO and fluoride, but enamel matrix proteases were not affected. Consistent with our in vivo results, co-exposure of SO and fluoride aggravated amelogenin expression in LS8 cells, and increased the YAP and RUNX2 levels. Co-exposure to SO and fluoride resulted in greater toxicity than individual exposure, both in vitro and in vivo, indicating that residents of areas exposed to SO and fluoride may have an increased risk of developing enamel damage.
二氧化硫 (SO) 和氟化物是影响人类健康的最常见的环境污染物之一,两者在主要燃煤地区共存。分析 SO 和氟化物的联合毒性及其对健康的影响以及它们共同暴露的潜在机制至关重要,但尚未得到充分评估。在本研究中,我们使用 ICR 小鼠和 LS8 细胞来研究 SO 和氟化物单独或联合暴露对牙釉质的毒性。析因设计分析用于揭示体外和体内的联合毒性。SO 和氟化物的共同暴露加剧了牙釉质损伤,导致小鼠切牙更严重的矿化不足和牙釉质结构紊乱,并可能导致牙釉质基质中蛋白质残留物的积累。SO 和氟化物暴露会增加釉原蛋白的表达,但不会影响釉基质蛋白酶。与我们的体内结果一致,SO 和氟化物的共同暴露加重了 LS8 细胞中釉原蛋白的表达,并增加了 YAP 和 RUNX2 的水平。SO 和氟化物的共同暴露比单独暴露具有更大的毒性,无论是在体外还是在体内,这表明暴露于 SO 和氟化物的地区的居民可能有更高的患牙釉质损伤的风险。
