Acrylamide is a potent neurotoxin produced during industrial production or food processing at high temperatures, and its effect on glycolytic processes may be critical in triggering neurotoxicity. Our work investigated the neurotoxic effects of acrylamide based on glycolysis using immortalized mouse microglia cell line BV2. The results showed that 1.5 mM acrylamide significantly inhibited the expression and activity of triphosphate isomerase and 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde dehydrogenase. Moreover, acrylamide limited the expression of pyruvate kinase and the decrease of pyruvate and lactate content of glycolysis products. In addition, acrylamide could increase intracellular methylglyoxal content and further affect its detoxification system. Not only that, subsequent cellular responses resulting from methylglyoxal accumulation, such as oxidative stress, activation of ERK, upregulation of NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway, and elevated pro-inflammatory factor TNF-α, were found in the acrylamide-treated cell model. Therefore, we suggest that acrylamide's perturbation of the glycolytic process leads to methylglyoxal accumulation, which may be responsible for its key to neurotoxicity.
