Differences in neurotoxic outcomes of organophosphorus pesticides revealed via multi-dimensional screening in adult and regenerating planarians. FRONTIERS IN TOXICOLOGY 2022; 4:948455.

Abstract
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are a chemically diverse class of commonly used insecticides. Epidemiological studies suggest that low dose chronic prenatal and infant exposures can lead to life-long neurological damage and behavioral disorders. While inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the shared mechanism of acute OP neurotoxicity, OP-induced developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) can occur independently and/or in the absence of significant AChE inhibition, implying that OPs affect alternative targets. Moreover, different OPs can cause different adverse outcomes, suggesting that different OPs act through different mechanisms. These findings emphasize the importance of comparative studies of OP toxicity. Freshwater planarians are an invertebrate system that uniquely allows for automated, rapid and inexpensive testing of adult and developing organisms in parallel to differentiate neurotoxicity from DNT. Effects found only in regenerating planarians would be indicative of DNT, whereas shared effects may represent neurotoxicity. We leverage this unique feature of planarians to investigate potential differential effects of OPs on the adult and developing brain by performing a comparative screen to test 7 OPs (acephate, chlorpyrifos, dichlorvos, diazinon, malathion, parathion and profenofos) across 10 concentrations in quarter-log steps. Neurotoxicity was evaluated using a wide range of quantitative morphological and behavioral readouts. AChE activity was measured using an Ellman assay. The toxicological profiles of the 7 OPs differed across the OPs and between adult and regenerating planarians. Toxicological profiles were not correlated with levels of AChE inhibition. Twenty-two "mechanistic control compounds" known to target pathways suggested in the literature to be affected by OPs (cholinergic neurotransmission, serotonin neurotransmission, endocannabinoid system, cytoskeleton, adenyl cyclase and oxidative stress) and 2 negative controls were also screened. When compared with the mechanistic control compounds, the phenotypic profiles of the different OPs separated into distinct clusters. The phenotypic profiles of adult vs. regenerating planarians exposed to the OPs clustered differently, suggesting some developmental-specific mechanisms. These results further support findings in other systems that OPs cause different adverse outcomes in the (developing) brain and build the foundation for future comparative studies focused on delineating the mechanisms of OP neurotoxicity in planarians.

Abstract
The developing brain is susceptible to the neurotoxic effects of lead. Exposure to lead has main effects on the cholinergic system and causes reduction of cholinergic neuron function during brain development. Disruption of the cholinergic system by chemicals, which play important roles during brain development, causes of neurodevelopmental toxicity. Differentiation of stem cells to neural cells is recently considered a promising tool for neurodevelopmental toxicity studies. This study evaluated the toxicity of lead acetate exposure during the differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchyme stem cells (bone marrow stem cells, BMSCs) to cholinergic neurons. Following institutional animal care review board approval, BMSCs were obtained from adult rats. The differentiating protocol included two stages that were pre-induction with β-mercaptoethanol (BME) for 24 h and differentiation to cholinergic neurons with nerve growth factor (NGF) over 5 days. The cells were exposed to different lead acetate concentrations (0.1-100 μm) during three stages, including undifferentiated, pre-induction, and neuronal differentiation stages; cell viability was measured by MTT assay. Lead exposure (0.01-100 μg/ml) had no cytotoxic effect on BMSCs but could significantly reduce cell viability at 50 and 100 μm concentrations during pre-induction and neuronal differentiation stages. MAP2 and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) protein expression were investigated by immunocytochemistry. Although cells treated with 100 μm lead concentration expressed MAP2 protein in the differentiation stages, they had no neuronal cell morphology. The ChAT expression was negative in cells treated with lead. The present study showed that differentiated neuronal BMSCs are sensitive to lead toxicity during differentiation, and it is suggested that these cells be used to study neurodevelopmental toxicity.

Abstract
We examined the effect of 3-Indolepropionic acid (3-IPA), an antioxidant on the organophosphorus pesticide chlorpyrifos (CPF)-induced reproductive toxicity in rats. The five experimental rat cohorts were treated per os for 14 consecutive days as follows: Control (Corn oil 2 mL/kg body weight), CPF alone (5 mg/kg), 3-IPA alone (40 mg/kg) and the co-treated rat cohorts (CPF:5 mg/kg + 3-IPA: 20 or 40 mg/kg). Biomarkers of testicular and epididymal function, oxidative stress, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and the levels of nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen and nitrogen (RONS) species and lipid peroxidation (LPO) were assessed. Also, tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), Bcl-2-associated X (Bax) and B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) proteins were estimated, and tissue histology was microscopically examined. CPF alone significantly (p < 0.05) increased biomarkers of reproductive toxicities were averted in rats co-treated 3-IPA. Decreases in antioxidants and increases in lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species were lessened (p < 0.05) in CPF and 3-IPA co-treated rats. CPF mediated increases in TNF-α, NO, Bax, and MPO activity was reduced (p < 0.05) in the epididymis, testes, and hypothalamus of rats co-treated with 3-IPA. In addition, Bcl-2 expression was increased in rats co-treated with 3-IPA dose-dependently. Histopathological examination revealed severe lesions induced by CPF were prevented in rats co-treated with 3-IPA. Our findings demonstrate that exogenous 3-IPA reduced CPF-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in the epididymis and testes of male rats.

[PMID: 33996934 PMCID: PMC8119778 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.623708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2020] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a rare complication of acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning. Although chlorpyrifos has been widely used as an organophosphate insecticide, a few cases of AMI complicated by chlorpyrifos poisoning have been reported thus far. Hence, a suitable treatment strategy remains to be explored. Case Presentation: Based on the clinical manifestations, medical history, results of an auxiliary examination, and serum biomarkers, a 65-year-old male farmer with complaints of nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, and pain was clearly diagnosed as having a severe chlorpyrifos self-poisoning with acute non-ST-segment elevation MI. Because the patient and his family confirmedly refused a coronary intervention, conservative treatment was used instead. It should be noted that there were some conflicts of the management for chlorpyrifos poisoning and AMI. Although rapid atropinization would contribute to the relief of muscarinic symptoms, it would also lead to an increased heart rate and myocardial oxygen consumption in AMI. Furthermore, the reduction of platelet aggregation, which is necessary for coronary recanalization of an AMI patient, is known to aggravate the gastrointestinal injury caused by poisoning. In this case, these conflicts were properly addressed, which led to an excellent effect and prognosis of the patient. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first case report of acute chlorpyrifos poisoning with AMI. It is emphasized that patients with chest pain or coronary heart disease should be treated with atropine more cautiously because of the possible AMI. Moreover, proper resolution of conflicts in the management for chlorpyrifos poisoning and AMI played contributing roles in patient improvement.

Obesogenic effects of chlorpyrifos and its metabolites during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Food Chem Toxicol 2020; 137:111171.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is an organophosphorus pesticide widely and extensively used in agriculture in more than one hundred countries and found ubiquitously in the environment. The present study was aimed at providing a better understanding of the obesogenic potential of CPF and its metabolites, as well as to evaluate their effects on the adipocyte differentiation process. For it, during the initial differentiation process, 3T3-L1 mouse preadipocytes were exposed to different concentrations of CPF, CPF-oxon (CPO), or 3,5,6-trichloropyridinol (TCP), which did not affect cell survival. Results showed how CPF and, to a lesser extent, its metabolite TCP, had a positive metabolic influence over the adipogenic process by fostering an increase in the number of differentiated 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, and by enhancing the capacity to store lipid droplets. These processes seem to occur through the upregulation of the transcription factors CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α (C/EBPα) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), which are related to a significant higher expression of the fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) adipokine. Based on this finding, CPF exposure could be one of the many factors that contributes to the worldwide increase in the incidence of obesity. However, additional investigations are clearly needed.

Abstract
Pesticides, antibiotics, and industrial excipients are widely used in agriculture, medicine, and chemical industry, respectively. They often end up in the environment, not only being not easily decomposed but also being accumulated. Moreover, they may cause serious toxic problems such as reproductive and developmental defects, immunological toxicity, and carcinogenesis. Hence, they are called environmental pollutants. It is known that the environmental pollutants easily enter the body through various channels such as respiration, ingestion of food, and skin contact etc. in everyday life. If they enter the mother through the placenta, they can cause the disturbance in embryo development as well as malfunction of organs after birth because early prenatal developmental process is highly sensitive to toxic chemicals and stress. Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) that consist of inner cell mass of blastocyst differentiate into distinct cell lineages via three germ layers such as the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm due to their pluripotency. The differentiation process initiated from ESCs reflects dynamic nature of embryonic development. Therefore, ESCs have been used as a useful tool to investigate early developmental toxicities of a variety of stress. Based on relatively recent scientific results, this review would address toxicity of a few chemical substances that have been widely used as pesticide, antibiotics, and industrial excipient on ESCs based-prenatal developmental process. This review further suggests how they act on the viability of ESCs and/or early stages of cardiac and neuronal development derived from ESCs as well as on expression of pluripotency and/or differentiation markers through diverse mechanisms.

Abstract
Although the remaining nerve tissue can regenerate and partly restore erectile function when the cavernous nerve is compressed/severed and function lost, the limited regenerative ability of these nerve tissues often fails to meet clinical needs. Adipose-derived stem cells are easy to obtain and culture, and can differentiate into neural cells. Their proliferation rate is easy to control and they may be used to help restore injured cavernous nerve function. Sprague-Dawley male rats (n = 45) were equally randomized into three groups: fifteen rats as a sham-operated group, fifteen rats as a bilateral nerve crush (BINC) group (with no further intervention), fifteen rats as a BINC with intracavernous injection of one million neural-like cells from adipose-derived stem cells (NAS) (BINC + NAS) group. After 4 weeks, erectile function was assessed by stimulating the cavernous body. The number of myelinated axons in the dorsal cavernous nerve was determined by toluidine blue staining. The area of neuronal nitric oxide synthase-positive fibers in the dorsal penile nerve was measured by immunohistochemical staining. Masson staining was used to analyze the ratio of smooth muscle to collagen in penile tissue. The results demonstrate that maximal intracavernous pressure, the ratio of maximal intracavernous pressure to mean arterial pressure, the numbers of myelinated axons and neuronal nitric oxide synthase-positive fibers in the dorsal penile nerve, and the ratio of smooth muscle to collagen could be increased after cell transplantation. These findings indicate that neural-like cells from adipose-derived stem cells can effectively alleviate cavernous nerve injury and improve erectile function. All animal experiments were approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China (approval No. 2017-1925) on September 15, 2017.

Knockdown of Butyrylcholinesterase but Not Inhibition by Chlorpyrifos Alters Early Differentiation Mechanisms in Human Neural Stem Cells. TOXICS 2018; 6:toxics6030052.

Abstract
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is the evolutionary counterpart to acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Both are expressed early in nervous system development prior to cholinergic synapse formation. The organophosphate pesticide chlorpyrifos (CPF) primarily exerts toxicity through the inhibition of AChE, which results in excess cholinergic stimulation at the synapse. We hypothesized that the inhibition of AChE and BChE by CPF may impair early neurogenesis in neural stem cells (NSCs). To model neurodevelopment in vitro, we used human NSCs derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with a focus on the initial differentiation mechanisms. Over the six days of NSC differentiation, the BChE activity and mRNA expression significantly increased, while the AChE activity and expression remained unchanged. The CPF treatment (10 μM) caused 82% and 92% inhibition of AChE and BChE, respectively. The CPF exposure had no effect on the cell viability or the expression of the differentiation markers HES5, DCX, or MAP2. However, the shRNA-knockdown of the BChE expression resulted in the decreased or delayed expression of the transcription factors HES5 and HES3. BChE may have a role in the differentiation of NSCs independent of, or in addition to, its enzymatic activity.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are able to differentiate into neuron-like cells when exposed to small molecule compounds, however the specific differences in their neuronal differentiation abilities remain to be fully elucidated. The present study aimed to compare the neuronal differentiation abilities of BMSCs and ADSCs. BMSCs and ADSCs from the same Sprague Dawley rats were isolated and cultured for use. The proliferation capacity was revealed using a cell counting method. Following BMSCs and ADSCs induction by four types of small-molecular compounds, the expression of various neuronal markers and the secretion of several neurotrophic factors were detected by immunofluorescence, western blotting, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and ELISA. It was demonstrated that the ADSCs exhibited an increased proliferation capacity compared with BMSCs, according to cumulative population doubling analyses. Following a 7-day neuronal induction period, BMSCs and ADSCs exhibited a neuron-like morphology, and were termed neuronal induced (NI)-BMSCs and NI-ADSCs. They expressed neuronal markers including β-tubulin III, microtubule associated protein 2 and choline acetyltransferase. The number of NI-BMSCs that positively expressed the neuronal markers was significantly decreased compared with NI-ADSCs, and the expression and secretion of the neurotrophic factors nerve growth factor and 3′-nucleotidase in NI-BMSCs were additionally decreased compared with NI-ADSCs. The findings of the present study indicated that the neuronal differentiation abilities and neurotrophic factor secretion abilities of ADSCs were increased compared with BMSCs. ADSCs may therefore act as efficient candidates in cell transplantation therapy for diseases and injuries of the nervous system.

Abstract
Background: Widely utilized pesticides such as chlorpyrifos (CPF) can cause cognitive abnormalities, neurotransmitter disruptions and brain cytoarchitecture deficits in adulthood due to exposure in the prenatal period, but the mechanism underlying the development and maintenance of such neurotoxicity in embryonic neurogenesis remains largely unclear. Using embryonic neocortex slices, we investigated mitosis population constituents and characteristic interkinetic nuclear migration (INM) to evaluate the CPF effects on the proliferation process of neural progenitors. Methods: Gestational days (GD) 14 and GD 7.5-11.5 ICR dams were exposed to 5 mg kg-1 of CPF to investigate immediate toxicity and sustained toxicity. Proliferating nuclei were labeled with 50 mg kg-1 of Brdu at 1, 3, 6 and 9 hours before samples were collected. The mitoses count and Brdu positive nuclei (BPN) location were measured and analyzed in standard sections of the embryonic dorsolateral cortex. Results: CPF reduced the mitoses count in the primary progenitors but not in the secondary progenitors which are time sustained. CPF retarded BPN migration with a 6-9 μm delay of the relative location in the immediate groups and a 3-6 μm delay in the sustained ones. CPF had no or little effects on the global mitoses count and BPN count. Conclusion: Prenatal CPF exposure disrupts the proliferation process of primary progenitors in the embryonic dorsolateral cortex immediately and with sustained effects, which may contribute to explain the toxicity mechanism in early neurogenesis.

Abstract
The profound significance of autophagy as a cell survival mechanism under conditions of metabolic stress is a well-proven fact. Nearly a decade-long research in this area has led scientists to unearth various roles played by autophagy other than just being an auto cell death mechanism. It is implicated as a vital cell survival pathway for clearance of all the aberrant cellular materials in case of cellular injury, metastasis, disease states, cellular stress, neurodegeneration and so on. In this review, we emphasise the critical role of autophagy in the environmental stressors-induced neurotoxicity and its therapeutic implications for the same. We also attempt to shed some light on the possible protective role of autophagy in developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) which is a rapidly growing health issue of the human population at large and hence a point of rising concern amongst researchers. The intimate association between DNT and neurodegenerative disorders strongly indicates towards adopting autophagy activation as a much-needed remedy for DNT.
