Abstract

Highlights: Chronic diesel particulate extract (DPE)/its vapor cause global proteomic changes. DPE/DPE vapor alter skin integrity related proteins in primary skin keratinocytes. DPE vapor affects OXPHOS and cell migration associated proteins in skin cells. DPE/DPE vapor treatment in 3D skin recapitulates their effects on 2D culture. Vitamin E partially restores altered proteins in DPE/vapor exposed cells. Abstract: Background: Skin acts as a protective barrier against direct contact with pollutants but inhalation and systemic exposure have indirect effect on keratinocytes. Exposure to diesel exhaust has been linked to increased oxidative stress. Objective: To investigate global proteomic alterations in diesel particulate extract (DPE)/ its vapor exposed skin keratinocytes. Methods: We employed Tandem Mass Tag (TMT)-based proteomics to study effect of DPE/ DPE vapor on primary skin keratinocytes. Results: We observed an increased expression of oxidative stress response protein NRF2, upon chronic exposure of primary keratinocytes to DPE/ its vapor which includes volatile components such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics led to identification 4490 proteins of which 201 and 374 proteins were significantly dysregulated (≥1.5 fold, p ≤ 0.05) in each condition, respectively. Proteins involved in cellular processes such as cornification (cornifin A), wound healing (antileukoproteinase) and differentiation (suprabasin) were significantly downregulated in primary keratinocytes exposed to DPE/ DPE vapor. These results were corroborated in 3D skin models chronically exposed to DPE/ DPE vapor. Bioinformatics analyses indicate that DPE and its vapor affect distinct molecular processes in skin keratinocytes. Components of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation machinery were seen to be exclusively overexpressed upon chronic DPE vapor exposure. In addition, treatment with an antioxidant like vitamin E partially restores expression of proteins altered upon exposure to DPE/ DPE vapor. Conclusions: Our study highlights distinct adverse effects of chronic exposure to DPE/ DPE vapor on skin keratinocytes and the potential role of vitamin E in alleviating adverse effects of environmental pollution.
