Zhu S, Liu B, Fu G, Yang L, Wei D, Zhang L, Zhang Q, Gao Y, Sun D, Wei W. PKC-θ is an important driver of fluoride-induced immune imbalance of regulatory T cells/effector T cells. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 934:173081. [PMID: 38754514 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
Fluoride is unnecessary in the human body. Long-term fluoride exposure may lead to immune system abnormalities. However, the mechanism remains unclear. This study aim to explore the mechanism of fluoride interference in the immune system and also identify the key indicators of fluoride-induced immune damage. Questionnaires were used to collect basic information. Multiple linear analyses and other statistical methods were used in order to process the data. Flow cytometry was used to detect relevant immunomarkers and analyze immune damage. Simultaneously, Wistar rats and cell models exposed to fluoride were established to detect the effects of fluoride on immune homeostasis. The results showed that sex, residence time, smoking, and Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection may indirectly influence fluoride-induced immune damage. In residents of fluoride-exposed areas, there was a significant decrease in CD3+ T lymphocytes and CD4+ and CD8+ cells and a downward trend in the CD4+/CD8+ cell ratio. CD4+CD8+/CD4+, regulatory T cells (Tregs), and Tregs/effector T cells (Teffs) ratios showed opposite changes. Fluoride inhibits T cell activation by inhibiting the expression and phosphorylation of Protein Kinase C-θ (PKC-θ), hinders the internalization of T cell receptors, and affects NF-kB and c-Jun protein expression, leading to homeostatic Treg/Teff imbalance in vivo and in vitro experiments. This study represents the first evidence suggesting that PKC-θ may be the key to immune imbalance in the body under fluoride exposure. It is possible that Tregs/Teffs cell ratio provide a reference point for the diagnosis and treatment of fluoride-induced immune damage.

Abstract
Excessive fluoride intake from residential environments may affect multiple tissues and organs; however, the specific pathogenic mechanisms are unclear. Researchers have recently focused on the damaging effects of fluoride on the immune system. Damage to immune function seriously affects the quality of life of fluoride-exposed populations and increases the incidence of infections and malignant tumors. Probing the mechanism of damage to immune function caused by fluoride helps identify effective drugs and methods to prevent and treat fluorosis and improve people's living standards in fluorosis-affected areas. Here, the recent literature on the effects of fluoride on the immune system is reviewed, and research on fluoride damage to the immune system is summarized in terms of three perspectives: immune organs, immune cells, and immune-active substances. We reviewed that excessive fluoride can damage immune organs, lead to immune cells dysfunction and interfere with the expression of immune-active substances. This review aimed to provide a potential direction for future fluorosis research from the perspective of fluoride-induced immune function impairment. In order to seek the key regulatory indicators of fluoride on immune homeostasis in the future.

Abstract
To investigate the association between mtDNA genetic information and the risk of SF, individuals were conducted in the drinking water endemic fluorosis area in northern China, sequenced the whole genome of mtDNA, identified the SNPs and SNVs, analyzed the haplogroups, and diagnosed SF, and then, the effect of mtDNA genetic information on the risk of SF was evaluated. We find that, D5 haplogroup and its specific SNPs reduced the risk, while the D4 haplogroup and its specific SNPs increased the risk of SF. The number of SNVs in coding regions of mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) is different between the controls and cases. This suggests that D5 haplogroup may play a protective role in the risk of SF, while the opposite is observed for the D4 haplogroup, this may relate to their specific SNPs. And SNVs that encode the MRC complex may also be associated with the risk of SF.

Abstract
To investigate the potential association between LRP5 rs648438 polymorphism and the risk of skeletal fluorosis (SF) was evaluated in a cross-sectional case-control study conducted in Shanxi, China, in 2019. A total of 973 individuals were enrolled in this study, in which cases and controls were 346 and 627, respectively. SF was diagnosed according to the standard WS/192-2008 (China). The LRP5 rs648438 was detected by the multiple PCR and sequencing. LRP5 rs648438 was found to follow a dominant genetic model using a web-based SNP-STATS software. Logistic regression analysis found that the TC/CC genotype of LRP5 rs648438 might be a protective factor for SF. When stratified by gender, this protective effect of TC/CC genotype in rs648438 was pronounced in males. There was an interaction between gender and rs648438 on risk of SF. Our study suggested that TC/CC genotype of rs648438 might be a protective factor for water-drinking-type skeletal fluorosis, especially in male participants.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of fluorine and ADAMTS14_rs4747096 on bone mineral density (BMD). The survey was explored in a cross-sectional case-control study conducted in Shanxi, China. The BMD was measured by an ultrasonic bone mineral density instrument. The urine fluoride concentration was detected using the fluoride ion electrode. ADAMTS14_rs4747096 polymorphism was examined by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing. The multinomial logistic regressions found that the urine fluoride was a risk factor for osteopenia (OR = 1.379, 95% CI: 1.127-1.687, P = 0.0018), osteoporosis (OR = 1.480, 95% CI: 1.1138-1.926, P = 0.0035), and rs4747096 AG + GG genotype increased the risk of osteoporosis (OR = 2.017, 95% CI: 1.208-3.369, P = 0.0073). In addition, the interaction between urine fluoride and rs4747096 polymorphism on the risk of decreased BMD also was observed. The study suggests that fluoride exposure and mutation G allele in ADAMTS14_rs4747096 may be risk factors for the decrease of BMD. And there is an interaction between the two influencing factors.

Abstract
Brick tea-type fluorosis (BTF) due to a high intake of brick tea is possible in Tibetan populations, and dental fluorosis (DF) and skeletal fluorosis (SF) are its primary manifestations. To determine the prevalence of DF and SF and their relationships with brick tea intake in Tibetan populations, a literature review was conducted for studies published between 1994 and 2021. The available evidence revealed that brick tea may be produced from older stems and leaves of the tea plant and that the fluoride content of brick tea exceeds the national standard. The harsh environment of the plateau has led to limited food sources for the local Tibetan people who form the habit of drinking tea leaves as a satiation solution to digest greasy food and replenish vitamins, and regular consumption of brick tea leads to excessive exposure of Tibetan residents to fluoride. Studies in Tibet showed that the prevalence of DF in children was 14.06-75.93% in different districts, and the overall pooled prevalence of DF was 26.08%. The prevalence of SF in adults was 19.90-74.77% in different Tibetan districts, and the overall pooled prevalence of SF was 33.84%. The analysis of risk factors showed that the prevalence of BTF may be related to high-altitude and different working and living conditions, and BTF in children may be associated with fluoride intake during mothers' pregnancy and lactation. With the development of bioinformatics research, gene polymorphisms were suspected to be related to susceptibility to fluorosis in Tibetan populations. The study of BTF in Tibetan people needs to be further investigated and standardized, and additional studies evaluating the pathogenesis and preventive measures of BTF are warranted.

Abstract
To investigate the potential association between BMP2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and brick-tea-type skeletal fluorosis risk in cross-sectional case-control study conducted in Sinkiang and Qinghai, China, a total of 598 individuals, including 308 Tibetans and 290 Kazakhs, were enrolled. Using the standard WS/192-2008 (China), 221 skeletal fluorosis cases were diagnosed, including 123 Tibetans and 98 Kazakhs. Logistic regressions 2 analysis did not find the association between SNPs (Rs235764, Rs235739 and Rs996544) and skeletal fluorosis. Genetic models, linkage disequilibrium (LD) and haplotype analysis were not found to be associated with risk of skeletal fluorosis after adjustment by age and sex (P>0.05).Our data suggested that Rs 235764, Rs 235739 and Rs 996544 were not linked susceptibility for skeletal fluorosis in our cross-sectional case-control study.

He M, Lyu X. Application of BRAFO-tiered approach for health benefit-risk assessment of dark tea consumption in China. Food Chem Toxicol 2021; 158:112615. [PMID: 34656696 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2021.112615] [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: 03/30/2021] [Revised: 09/09/2021] [Accepted: 10/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Dark tea, a unique tea fermented primarily in China, has numerous potential beneficial effects. However, harmful substances present in dark tea have provoked significant concern. To conduct a quantitative benefit-risk assessment of dark tea for Chinese residents and provide guidance on rational consumption, a framework of Benefit-Risk Analysis for Foods (BRAFO) and meta-analysis was applied to construct a disability-adjusted life year (DALY). Based on the BRAFO-tiered approach, a reference scenario (no intake) and an alternative scenario (intake of 3 cups/day) were determined. The overall health impacts of dark tea were simulated by comparing the risks of fluoride and AF with benefits of reduced-risk to coronary heart disease (CHD) and diabetes in different scenarios. Three cups of fermented tea consumed per day decreased risks of CHD and diabetes by 8.16% and 12.77% respectively. After quantitative integration of information, the ultimate net health effect was found to be -1958.827 illustrating that the benefits of drinking three cups of dark tea per day outweigh the risks. However, considering the uncertainties in the process, decision-makers should proceed with caution, consulting additional well-conducted studies and further managing harmful substances in dark tea.

Abstract
To evaluate the association between ALOX15 gene polymorphism and skeletal fluorosis (SF), a case-control study was conducted. A total of 1023 individuals, including 308 Tibetans, 290 Kazaks and 425 Han, were enrolled in this study, in which cases and controls were 278 and 745, respectively. SF was diagnosed by X-ray absorptiometry. SNPs were genotyped using the Sequenom Mass ARRAY system. The genotypes of ALOX15 rs7220870, rs2664593 and rs1107852 were not associated with the risk of SF. After reconstructing the haplotype of rs7220870 and rs11078528, the risk effect of haplotype CA was found in Han participants aged ≤45 years or with moderate fluoride intake. Diplotype of CC/CC had a protective effect on SF risk in Han participants; whereas, CA/CC diplotype showed a risk effect on SF risk in participants aged ≥65; Our results provide the first evidence of an association between ALOX15 gene polymorphism and SF risk in Han participants.Abbreviation: SF: Skeletal fluorosis; SNP: Single Nucleotide polymorphism.

Comprehensive analysis of lncRNA and mRNA based on expression microarray profiling reveals different characteristics of osteoarthritis between Tibetan and Han patients. J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:133. [PMID: 33579305 PMCID: PMC7879695 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-021-02213-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Accepted: 01/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is thought to be the most prevalent chronic joint disease, especially in Tibet of China. Here, we aimed to explore the integrative lncRNA and mRNA landscape between the OA patients of Tibet and Han. Methods The lncRNA and mRNA expression microarray profiling was performed by SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression 8x60K v2 Microarray in articular cartilage samples from OA patients of Han nationality and Tibetans, followed by GO, KEGG, and trans-regulation and cis-regulation analysis of lncRNA and mRNA. Results We found a total of 117 lncRNAs and 297 mRNAs differently expressed in the cartilage tissues of Tibetans (n = 5) comparing with those of Chinese Han (n = 3), in which 49 lncRNAs and 158 mRNAs were upregulated, and 68 lncRNAs and 139 mRNAs were downregulated. GO and KEGG analysis showed that several unreported biological processes and signaling pathways were particularly identified. LncRNA-mRNA co-expression analysis revealed a remarkable lncRNA-mRNA relationship, in which OTOA may play a critical role in the different mechanisms of the OA progression between Tibetans and Chinese Han. Conclusion This study identified different lncRNA/mRNA expression profiling between OA patients of Tibetans and Han, which were involved in many characteristic biological processes and signaling pathways.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 744:140749.

Abstract
The change of serum soluble Klotho (sKlotho) content is related to a variety of osteoarthropathy. However, its association with the severity of skeletal fluorosis (SF) is not clear. Here, the association of tea fluoride exposure with serum sKlotho levels and the severity of SF were investigated and further verified in a rat model of fluorosis. A cross sectional case control study was conducted in residents over 50 years old from brick-tea drinking areas in Qinghai and Xinjiang Provinces, China. Concentrations of fluoride in brick tea water and urine were determined by ion selective electrode method, and the levels of serum sKlotho were determined by ELISA method. Linear regression and ordered logistic regression models were constructed to examine the relationship among fluoride exposure, serum sKlotho levels and the severity of SF. The kidney and small intestine of Wistar rats were isolated for detection of Klotho by immunohistochemistry (IHC), and femoral artery blood was sampled to measure the serum levels of sKlotho. An increase of 1 mg/day in tea fluoride intake (TFI) was associated with a 12.070 pg/mL (95% CI: 0.452-23.689) increase in serum sKlotho levels and a 1.163-fold (95% CI: 1.007-1.342) increase in the severity of SF after adjusting for age, gender, and ethnicity. Serum sKlotho levels were also positively associated with the severity of SF (P < 0.05). The mediation analysis showed that serum sKlotho levels mediated 17.76% of the increase in the severity of SF caused by an increase of 1 mg/day of TFI. Moreover, a significant increase of serum sKlotho levels in fluoride-exposed groups was also seen in the rat model. The present study suggests that serum sKlotho may be a potential mediator of SF in brick tea-type fluorosis endemic areas.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) differentially expressed in plasma were identified using microRNA sequencing (miRNA-seq), and five miRNAs were selected for validation. Potential target genes of these five miRNAs were predicted using the miRWalk3.0 database, and the overlapping portions were analyzed using the Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases. Comparison of the cases and controls revealed 127 known differentially expressed miRNAs. A total of 44 and 83 miRNAs were upregulated and downregulated, respectively. Through target gene prediction of five miRNAs, we obtained 1360 target genes. GO enrichment analysis showed that the target genes of these dysregulated miRNAs were related with secretion, protein binding, and cell growth. The KEGG pathway analysis showed that pathways in cancer, calcium signaling, and rat sarcoma (Ras) signaling, etc. were likely regulated by these five miRNAs. These findings highlight the distinct expression patterns of miRNAs in coal-burning endemic fluorosis.
