As a dominating air pollutant, atmospheric fine particulate matter within 2.5 μm in diameter (PM2.5) has attracted increasing attention from the researchers all over the world, which will lead to various adverse effects on the central nervous system (CNS), yet the potential mechanism is unclear. In this study, the microglia (BV2 cell line) were exposed to different concentrations of PM2.5 (5, 10 and 20 μg/cm2) for 24 h. It was found that PM2.5 could result in adverse effects on microglia such as decreased cell viability, structural damage and even cell death. And it was reported that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) could participate in multitudinous neurological diseases. Therefore, the microarray analysis was conducted in order to disclose the underlying neurotoxicity mechanism of PM2.5 by ascertaining the differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs). The consequences indicated that the DElncRNAs were enriched in various biological pathways, including ferroptosis, IL-17 signaling pathway and NOD-like receptor signaling pathway. Moreover, the cis- and trans-regulated mRNAs by DElncRNAs as well as the corresponding transcriptional factors (TFs) were observed, such as CEBPA, MYC, MEIS1 and KLF4. In summary, our study supplies some candidate libraries and potential preventive target against PM2.5-induced toxicity through targeting lncRNAs. Furthermore, the post-transcriptional regulation will contribute to the future research on PM2.5-induced neurotoxicity.
