Epidemiological studies have documented that exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) could affect neurodevelopment, thereby leading to autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Nevertheless, there is little laboratory data to support this epidemiological evidence. In the current study, we carried out a series of experiments to assess whether developmental exposures to different extracts of PM2.5 can result in ASD-like behavioral, biochemical, and immunohistochemical characteristics in male rat offspring. PM2.5 samples were collected daily for a year, and monthly composites were extracted with an acetone-hexane mixture. The extracts were analyzed for their chemical constituents. Three groups of rats were exposed to the different PM2.5 extracts during pre- and postnatal periods. All exposed groups of rats exhibited typical behavioral features of ASD, including increased repetitive and depression-related behaviors. We also found microglia and astrocytes activation and decreased concentrations of oxytocin (OXT) in the brain regions of exposed rats compared with control rats. Comparing the current results with a prior study, the induced biological effects followed a sequence of whole particles of PM2.5 > organic extract > inorganic extract. These findings indicated that exposure to PM2.5 can elicit ASD-like features in rats and raise concerns about particulate matter as a possible trigger for the induction of ASD in humans; therefore, mitigating the contents of the PAHs and metals could reduce the PM2.5 neurotoxicity.
