[PMID: 35906431 DOI: 10.1007/s00420-022-01893-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pneumoconiosis, encompassing coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), silicosis and asbestosis, is one of the most common occupational diseases in China. Previous studies revealed significant associations between genetic variations and pneumoconiosis risk among individuals in different countries. With the known variability of genetic makeup between ethnicities, susceptibility to pneumoconiosis due to genetic differences is likely to be ethnicity-specific. The present review aimed at providing a comprehensive overview on the association between genetic polymorphisms and susceptibility of pneumoconiosis, specifically among people in China. METHODS The literature search was performed in seven English and Chinese databases using keywords related to the review aim. An appraisal of the methodological quality of the included studies was conducted using the assessment tool derived from the Strengthening the Reporting of Genetic Association Studies (STREGA) statement. RESULTS Forty-five studies were included in this review. Genotypes of specific genes which are associated with the risk of CWP, silicosis and asbestosis were reported. Our findings showed that genes encoding inflammatory cytokines have been examined extensively, and they demonstrated an association between these genes and pneumoconiosis risk. Gene-environment interactions in pneumoconiosis susceptibility were also reported by a number of studies. CONCLUSIONS This review summarised the evidence demonstrating the association between genetic polymorphisms and pneumoconiosis susceptibility among people in China, and that various genotypes could modify their risk to develop pneumoconiosis. The findings prompt that identification of individuals at high pneumoconiosis risk through genetic screening and strategies limiting their exposure to dust could be a potential strategy for the control of this occupational disease in China.

Excessive hydrogen sulfide causes lung and brain tissue damage by promoting PARP1/Bax and C9 and inhibiting LAMB1. Apoptosis 2022; 27:149-160.

Abstract
Excessive hydrogen sulfide (H2S) causes serious damage to human organs and tissues. In this study, we aimed to explore the role and underlying mechanism of excessive H2S in brain and lung tissues. A H2S concentration of 100-800 pm promotes apoptosis and inflammation of brain and lung cells in ICR mice. Mechanistically, a H2S concentration of 100-800 pm upregulates PARP1 and Bax expression in a dose-dependent manner in vivo and in vitro, and functional gain-and-loss experiments verified that an excessive amount of H2S plays a pro-apoptotic role in HT22 and MML1 cells via regulation of PARP1 and Bax in vitro. By combining animal and cell experiments, we clarified that excess H2S promotes the inflammatory response of mouse brain and lung cells by promoting the expression of C9. In addition, the downregulation of LAMB1 by an excessive H2S concentration was confirmed using mass spectrometry and western blotting in vivo and in vitro. Combined with in vitro experiments, we found that an excessive H2S concentration promotes the expression of STAT1 and EGFR in HT22 and MML1 cells by inhibiting the expression of LAMB1. In summary, 100-800 pm H2S causes the brain and lung tissue damage in ICR mice, the underlying mechanisms include H2S induced apoptosis and inflammation of mouse brain and lung cells by upregulation of PARP1/Bax and C9, respectively, and H2S might induce fibrosis of mouse brain and lung cells by downregulation of LAMB1.
