The development of the nervous system is crucial to a child's health. However, the nervous system is also susceptible to a variety of factors during development. To date, epidemiological studies have reported controversial results on the relationship between prenatal exposure to particulate matter (PM) and neurobehavioral development. Thus, we investigated the effect of PM exposure during pregnancy on the neurobehavioral development of offsprings. Adult C57BL/6 mice were exposed to PM from gestation day (GD) 0.5-21 by the intratracheal instillation. The daily exposure doses were 250 µg/kg.b.w and 2500 µg/kg.b.w respectively. The offspring mice began behavioral tests at the 5th week. We assessed neurobehavioral development, and the gene expression level changes in the mouse hippocampus using RNA-seq. In the open field test, the movement distance in the central area was significantly decreased in the high-dose group. Serum free triiodothyronine (FT3) levels were significantly increased in male offspring mice with prenatal high-dose PM exposure. The RNA-seq results suggested that the Prkca, Med12l, Ep300, and Slc16a10 in the thyroid hormone signaling pathway were significantly decreased in offspring mice in the high-dose group. Our data showed that prenatal PM exposure caused the offspring mice's anxiety-like behaviors and increased serum FT3 levels. The changes in thyroid hormone pathway-related genes might be the causes of the above series of changes.
