Résumé

Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), ubiquitously environmental contaminant, leads to the development of major toxic effects on human health, such as carcinogenic and immunosuppressive alterations reported for the most studied PAH, i.e., benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P). In order to assess the risk associated with this exposure, it is necessary to have predictive biomarkers. Thus, extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their microRNA (miRNA) contents, have recently been proposed as potentially interesting biomarkers in Toxicology. Our study here explores the use of vesicles secreted and found in blood fluids, and their miRNAs, as biomarkers of exposure to B(a)P alone and within a realistic occupational mixture. We isolated EVs from primary human cultured blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and rat plasma after PAH exposure and reported an increased EV production by B(a)P, used either alone or in the mixture, in vitro and in vivo. We then investigated the association of this EV release with the blood concentration of the 7,8,9,10-hydroxy (tetrol)-B(a)P reactive metabolite, in rats. By performing RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of miRNAs in PBMC-derived EVs, we analyzed miRNA profiles and demonstrated the regulation of the expression of miR-342-3p upon B(a)P exposure. We then validated B(a)P-induced changes of miR-342-3p expression in vivo in rat plasma-derived EVs. Overall, our study highlights the feasibility of using EVs and their miRNA contents, as biomarkers of PAH exposure and discusses their potential in environmental Toxicology.
