Abstract

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in many herbicides, has been widely used in agriculture since the 1970s. Despite initial beliefs in its safety for humans and animals due to the absence of the shikimate pathway, recent studies have raised concerns about its potential health effects. This study aimed to identify glycomic changes indicative of glyphosate-induced toxicity. Specifically, the study focused on profiling -glycosylation, a protein post-translational modification increasingly recognized for its involvement in various disorders, including neurological conditions. A comprehensive analysis of rat serum -glycomics following chronic exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) was conducted using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The results revealed significant changes in the -glycan profile, particularly in sialylated and sialofucosylated -glycans. The analysis of -glycans across gender subgroups provided insights into gender-specific responses to GBH exposure, with the male rats exhibiting a higher susceptibility to these -glycan changes compared to females. The validation of significantly altered -glycans using parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) confirmed their expression patterns. This study provides novel insights into the impact of chronic GBH exposure on serum -glycan composition, with implications for assessing glyphosate toxicity and its potential neurological implications.

摘要

草甘膦是许多除草剂中的活性成分,自 20 世纪 70 年代以来已广泛应用于农业。尽管由于缺乏莽草酸途径,人们最初认为其对人类和动物是安全的,但最近的研究引起了对其潜在健康影响的关注。本研究旨在确定指示草甘膦诱导毒性的糖组学变化。具体而言,该研究专注于糖基化谱分析,这是一种蛋白质翻译后修饰,越来越多地被认为与其参与各种疾病(包括神经疾病)有关。使用液相色谱-串联质谱(LC-MS/MS)对慢性接触草甘膦基除草剂(GBH)的大鼠血清糖组学进行了全面分析。结果显示,-聚糖图谱发生了显著变化,特别是唾液酸化和唾液酸化糖基化的聚糖。对性别亚组的 -聚糖分析提供了对 GBH 暴露的性别特异性反应的深入了解,与女性相比,雄性大鼠对这些 -聚糖变化的敏感性更高。使用平行反应监测(PRM)验证明显改变的 -聚糖证实了它们的表达模式。本研究为慢性 GBH 暴露对血清 -聚糖组成的影响提供了新的见解,对评估草甘膦毒性及其潜在的神经影响具有重要意义。
