520	3		_aStudies have shown that exposure to either microplastics (MPs)or di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalic acid (DEHP)alone can cause neurotoxicity in animals, but it remains uncertain whether and to what extent co-exposure to these two substances, which often occur together in reality, can also induce neurotoxicity. This study aimed to investigate the neurotoxicity and molecular mechanisms of combined exposure to DEHP and polypropylene microplastics (synthetic PP-MPs were used), the microplastics most commonly encountered by young children, in immature mice. The results showed that exposure to PP-MPs and/or DEHP did cause neurotoxic effects in immature mice, including induction of neurocognitive and memory deficits, damage to the CA3 region of the hippocampus, increased oxidative stress, and decreased AChE activity in the brain. The severity of the neurotoxicity increased with increasing concentrations of PP-MPs, combined exposure to PP-MPs and DEHP exhibited additive or synergistic effects. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that the PP-MPs and/or DEHP exposure altered the expression profiles of gene clusters involved in the stress response, and in protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum. Quantitative analyses further indicated that PP-MPs and/or DEHP exposure inhibited the activity of the heat shock response mediated by heat shock transcription factor 1, while chronically activated the unfolded protein response, consequently inducing neurotoxicity through neuronal apoptosis and neuroinflammation in the immature mice. As a pioneer study to highlight the neurotoxicity induced by combined exposure to PP-MPs and DEHP in immature mice, this research provides new insights into mitigating the health risks of PP-MPs and DEHP exposure in young children.
