However, growing evidence has indicated that DEHP may induce neurotoxicity. DEHP exposure affects mircoRNAs (miRNAs) expression in brain. A growing body of evidence suggests that nutrients and other bioactive food components prevent neurotoxicity through regulation of miRNA expression. Due to the increasing concern about the risks of DEHP to human health, we explored the neuroprotective effect of Omega-3 fatty acid (Omega-3FA) on subchronic DEHP-induced neurotoxicity in mice, and the potential involved miRNAs and their targets in the protective action of Omega-3FA against DEHP-induced neurotoxicity. Omega-3FA protected against the DEHP-induced impairment of learning and memory and alleviated the thinning of postsynaptic density (PSD) thickness in hippocampal synapses. We observed that there are fourteen up or down regulated miRNAs associated PSD in DEHP exposure which were normalized by Omega-3FA treatment. Protein targets in PSD of these differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted. Furthermore, the expression levels of protein mGluR5, Homer1, and NMDAR2B were carried out via Western blot, for further verifying PSD associated miRNAs\u2019 targets are involved in neuroprotection of Omega-3FA against DEHP. These findings suggested that Omega-3FA protected DEHP-induced impairment of learning and memory as well as synaptic structure alteration in the hippocampus by regulating the expression of PSD associated miRNAs and their targets. Thus, Omega-3FA should be included in diet to prevent or suppress neurotoxicity caused by continuous exposure to DEHP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0313233","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,3]],"date-time":"2025-07-03T17:43:28Z","timestamp":1751564608000},"page":"e0313233","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Omega-3
