    Abstract:
    Acrylamide (ACR) is a known neurotoxicant and developmental neurotoxicant. As a soft electrophile, ACR reacts with thiol groups in cysteine. One hypothesis of ACR induced neurotoxicity and developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) is conjugation with reduced glutathione (GSH) leading to GSH depletion, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and further oxidative stress and cellular damage. In this regard, we have investigated the effect of ACR on neuronal differentiation, glutathione levels and ROS production in the human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell model. After 9 days of differentiation and exposure, ACR significantly impaired area neurites per cell at non-cytotoxic concentrations (0.33 μM and 10 μM). Furthermore, 10 μM ACR dysregulated 9 mRNA markers important for neuronal development, 5 of them being associated with cytoskeleton organization and axonal guidance. At the non-cytotoxic concentrations that significantly attenuate neuronal differentiation, ACR did neither decrease the level of GSH or total glutathione levels, nor increased ROS production. In addition, the expression of 5 mRNA markers for cellular stress was assessed with no significant altered regulation after ACR exposure up to 320 μM. Thus, ACR-induced DNT is not due to GSH depletion and increased ROS production, neither at non-cytotoxic nor cytotoxic concentrations, in the SH-SH5Y model during differentiation.
