Objective:To study the effects of combined occupational exposure of benzene, toluene, and xylene on human metabolism at an overall level, and to screen biomarkers related to the combined occupational exposure of benzene, toluene, and xylene, and to explore the mechanism of early health effects preliminarily caused by combined occupational exposure of benzene, toluene, and xylene by identification of biomarkers and retrieval of metabolic pathways.Methods:A shoe-making company was selected as the research site. Twenty subjects for the exposed group and the control group were selected separately, and urine of the subjects was collected. The metabolic profiles of the samples were collected by liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and professional metabolomics and multivariate statistical analysis software were used to establish PCA and OPLS-DA analysis models to screen potential biomarkers and identify biomarkers. Finally, based on the dynamic changes and trends of potential biomarkers between groups, the mechanism of body damage caused by benzene, toluene, and xylene was initially explored.Results:Urine metabolomics analysis showed that the metabolic profile of urine samples of the benzene, toluene, and xylene combined exposure group was different from that of the control group. 27 potential biomarkers that were closely related to the combined exposure of benzene, toluene, and xylene were screened and identified. These potential biomarkers were enriched in 16 metabolic pathways, of which 3 pathways were significantly enriched ( P<0.05) , respectively, lysine metabolism, amino sugar metabolism, and nucleotide sugar metabolism. Conclusion:The metabonomics method can well reflect the changes in the metabolome of urine samples in the occupational population after the combined exposure of benzene, toluene, and xylene, which will help us better evaluate the risk of combined exposure of benzene, toluene, and xylene and prevent and control their health risks.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between Golgi membrane protein 1 (GOLM1) expression and the sensitivity of estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer to endocrine therapy.Methods:Tamoxifen (TAM) -resistant ER-positive breast cancer cells were established, and the expression of GOLM1 in these cells was detected. The expression level of GOLM1 in the cells was regulated, and the effects of GOLM1 expression on cell proliferation and colony formation were detected by MTT and colony formation assay, respectively. Western blot was used to detect the effect of GOLM1 expression on the expression of drug resistance proteins P-gp and MRP1. Breast cancer patients recruited for endocrine therapy and patients without endocrine therapy were divided into high GOLM1 expression group and low GOLM1 expression group, and the effect of GOLM1 expression level on the survival rate of the two groups of patients was observed.Results:Colony formation assay showed that after TAM treatment, the colony formation ability of TAM-resistant MCF-7 cells was significantly higher than that of TAM-sensitive McF-7 cells (all P<0.05). The expression level of GOLM1 in MCF-7R cells (2.31±0.18) was higher than that in MCF-7 cells (1±0.10) ( t=11.02, P<0.001). Knockdown of GOLM1 in MCF-7R cells decreased the cell proliferation and colony formation ability, and the expression of drug resistance proteins P-gp and MRP1 also decreased (all P<0.05). The survival rate of patients with high GOLM1 expression was lower than that of patients with low GOLM1 expression after endocrine therapy ( χ2=5.45, P=0.020). In patients without endocrine therapy, there was no significant difference in survival between patients with high and low GOLM1 expression ( χ2=1.49, P=0.223) . Conclusion:High expression of GOLM1 is significantly associated with decreased sensitivity to endocrine therapy in ER-positive breast cancer patients.
