Abstract
Pesticides enter the environment through runoff and leaching and this raises public concern about effects on non-target organisms. Imidacloprid (IMI) a synthetic pesticide, has an unstable half-life, metabolized in minutes to weeks in the water. To evaluate the effects of IMI on the zebrafish liver, we conducted proteomic, molecular and biochemical analysis in a multi-level approach, to highlight the complementary features regarding the results of each method. Adult zebrafish were exposed to 60 mg/L IMI for 48 h and were evaluated using nLC-MS/MS for proteins, q-PCR analysis for expression of cat, gpx, pxr, ache, along with CAT and AChE enzyme activities and GSH and MDA assays. Based on proteomics, the regulation of antioxidant and immune responses, as well as gene transcription were significant processes affected. Apoptosis and ER stress pathways were upregulated and there was a down-regulation of cat and gpx genes. There was also elevated CAT activity and GSH and decreased MDA. Additionally, elevated AChE activity and up regulation of ache expression was observed. The multi-approach results included regulators of antioxidant, xenobiotic response and neuro-protective related proteins (genes and enzymes), which overall reflected harmful effects of IMI. Consequently, this study highlights the effects of IMI on zebrafish liver and reveals new potential biomarkers. In this respect, evaluated outcomes reveal the complementary features emphasizing the importance of studying chemicals using several methods. Our study provides deeper insights for future work in ecotoxicological studies regarding IMI and contribute to existing toxicity literature.

Protective effect of Salvia hispanica (chia seeds) against obesity induced ovarian disorders in rat model. Tissue Cell 2023; 83:102156. [PMID: 37437332 DOI: 10.1016/j.tice.2023.102156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/14/2023]
Abstract
The main goal of the current report is to assess the protective impacts of chia seeds against obesity-induced ovarian dysfunctions with a trial to elucidate the mechanism of action. Forty rats were divided into 4 groups including lean untreated, lean consuming chia seeds, obese untreated, and rats consumed high-fat diet (HFD) mixed with ground chia seeds for 10 weeks. Anthropometric measures including visceral fat, peri-ovarian fat, ovarian weights, and duration of the estrous cycle were computed. Serum luteinizing (LH), follicular stimulating (FSH), progesterone, estradiol hormones, and tumor necrosis-α (TNF-α) were estimated. Ovarian histopathology and immunohistochemistry (CD31) were performed. Results showed that chia seeds clearly reduced obesity and induced alteration in anthropometric measures with a clear increase in LH and progesterone. Such seeds notably reversed histopathological alteration and reduced TNF-α, and CD31 induced by HFD. Conclusively, chia seeds have a potential protective role against obesity-induced ovarian dysfunction owing to their anti-inflammatory properties.

Albayrak MGB, Simsek T, Kasap M, Akpinar G, Canturk NZ, Guler SA. Tissue proteome analysis revealed an association between cancer, immune system response, and the idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. MEDICAL ONCOLOGY (NORTHWOOD, LONDON, ENGLAND) 2022; 39:238. [PMID: 36175807 DOI: 10.1007/s12032-022-01845-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis (IGM) is a disease that clinically mimics breast cancers with symptoms of pain, edema, erythema, nipple discharge, nipple retraction, and fistula. Although IGM is considered to be formed by autoimmune responses or infections, the molecular mechanism behind formation and progress is unknown. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying IGM formation, progress, and recurrence by monitoring the changes at the proteome level. Protein extracts prepared from IGM (n = 15) and within-control tissues (n = 15) were subjected to nHPLC followed by LC-MS/MS proteomic analysis. Label-free quantitation analysis revealed that sixty differentially regulated between the two groups. Those proteins were classified based on their role in metabolic pathways using bioinformatics tools. Based on DAVID analysis, 16 of the differently regulated proteins were associated with the immune system, while 17 proteins were involved in cancer metabolism. STRING analysis showed that five of the differentially regulated proteins were associated with combined immune deficiency which were PNP, TAP1, ITGAL, PRKDC, and PTPRC while the other proteins were involved in insulin response and neutrophil degranulation. This study is one of the very few studies that investigated the changes in protein expressions of IGM tissues compared to controls. For the first time, we have shown the relationship of IGM with the immune system at the protein level and also underlined the cancer-like behavior of the disease. Furthermore, the proteins that were pointed out as combined immune deficiency-related proteins may have value as diagnostic markers for idiopathic granulomatous mastitis although further studies are needed to shed more light on the pathogenesis of the disease.
