Core Tip Using a diabetic, CCM3-deficient mouse model with lead exposure, this study demonstrates that lead exposure, diabetes, and CCM3 loss synergistically increase blood glucose and lead levels, resulting in neural injury that precedes vascular damage. Lead triggers early neural impairment by inhibiting the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and promoting ferroptosis, a mechanism distinct from glucose-related effects. Epidemiological analyses further confirm that interactions among urinary lead levels, blood glucose, and the CCM3 single-nucleoyide polymorphisms rs6784267 significantly influence the neurotransmitter metabolites vanillylmandelic acid and homovanillic acid, consistent with animal findings. Collectively, these results provide a scientific basis for the prevention early neural damage involving environmental, metabolic, and genetic factors.
