Abstract
The sensitive, non-destructive constant wavelength (CW) and constant energy (CE) SFS techniques have been used for the simultaneous determination of 1-amino pyrene (AP) and 1-napthyl amine (NA) in their mixtures without prior separation via optimization of different experimental conditions (ΔλCW 70.0 nm, ΔνCE 4000.0 cm-1, scan rate 240.0 nm/min, 25.0 °C, methanol). Amplitude-concentration plots have been linear for 1-amino pyrene, AP (0.01-0.1 mg/L) and 1-napthyl amine, NA (0.1-1.0 mg/L). In aqueous methanolic binary mixtures, the mean recoveries (RSD, LOD and LOQ) of AP were found to be 100.09% (0.053, 0.008 mg/L and 0.034 mg/L) for emission, 100.11% (0.141, 0.008 mg/L, 0.034 mg/L) for CWSFS, 100.05% (0.109, 0.007 mg/L and 0.032 mg/L) for first derivative CWSFS, 100.00% (0.148, 0.007 mg/L and 0.031 mg/L) for CESFS, 99.99% (0.109, 0.008 mg/L and 0.035 mg/L) for first derivative CESFS modes respectively. Additionally, for NA the mean recoveries (RSD, LOD and LOQ) were 100.29% (0.360, 0.046 mg/L and 0.204 mg/L) for emission, 100.06% (0.089, 0.098 mg/L, 0.436 mg/L) for CWSFS, 100.09% (0.144, 0.065 mg/L and 0.288 mg/L) for first derivative CWSFS, 100.05% (0.178, 0.077 mg/L and 0.339 mg/L) for CESFS, 100.03% (0.181, 0.082 mg/L and 0.364 mg/L) for first derivative CESFS modes respectively. Considering their safety and greenness, these methods might be considered as green tools using analytical eco-scale approaches (eco-scale score 88.0).

Impact of diesel exhaust exposure on urinary 1-hydroxypyrene in underground salt and potash workers. Int J Hyg Environ Health 2023; 251:114190. [PMID: 37253312 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijheh.2023.114190] [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: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diesel engine exhaust (DEE) and some of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) it contains are carcinogenic to humans (for example benzo(a)pyrene) and can cause lung cancer in workers. The objective of this study was to assess exposures to DEE and its component PAH and the potential associations between these two health hazards in a salt and potash mining population. METHODS Between 2017 and 2019, 1003 underground workers (mining n = 801, maintenance n = 202) and 243 above-ground facility workers from two German mines participated. Personal exposure to DEE was assessed in air as elemental carbon for diesel particulate matter (EC-DPM), whereas exposure to PAH was assessed in pre- and post-shift urine samples in terms of 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP). Associations between EC-DPM and 1-OHP were studied using linear regression models. RESULTS The highest EC-DPM exposures were measured in mining workers (median 0.06 mg/m³) followed by workers in the maintenance (0.03 mg/m3) and facility areas (<0.02 mg/m3). Exposures above the current German occupational threshold level of 0.05 mg/m3 were observed in 56%, 17%, and 5% of mining, maintenance and facility workers, respectively. 1-OHP increased statistically significantly across a work shift in underground workers but not in facility workers. Regression analyses revealed an increase of post-shift 1-OHP by almost 80% in mining and 40% in maintenance compared with facility workers. 1-OHP increased with increasing EC-DPM among underground workers. However, internal exposure of 1-OHP mainly remained at levels similar to those of the German general population in more than 90% of the urine samples. CONCLUSIONS While exposures to DEE above the current German OEL for EC-DPM are quite common in the studied population of underground salt and potash miners (39.5% overall), urinary concentrations of 1-OHP did not reflect these findings.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 259:115027. [PMID: 37207578 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
Our previous study showed 1-Nitropyrene (1-NP) exposure disrupted testicular testosterone synthesis in mouse, but the exact mechanism needs further investigation. The present research found 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA), an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inhibitor, recovered 1-NP-induced ER stress and testosterone synthases reduction in TM3 cells. GSK2606414, a protein kinase-like ER kinase (PERK) kinase inhibitor, attenuated 1-NP-induced PERK-eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) signaling activation and downregulation of steroidogenic proteins in TM3 cells. Both 4-PBA and GSK2606414 attenuated 1-NP-induced steroidogenesis disruption in TM3 cells. Further studies used N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) as a classical antioxidant to explore whether oxidative stress-activated ER stress mediated 1-NP-induced testosterone synthases reduction and steroidogenesis disruption in TM3 cells and mouse testes. The results showed NAC pretreatment mitigated oxidative stress, and subsequently attenuated ER stress, particularly PERK-eIF2α signaling activation, and downregulation of testosterone synthases in 1-NP-treated TM3 cells. More importantly, NAC extenuated 1-NP-induced testosterone synthesis in vitro and in vivo. The current work indicated that oxidative stress-caused ER stress, particularly PERK-eIF2α pathway activation, mediates 1-NP-downregulated steroidogenic proteins and steroidogenesis disruption in TM3 cells and mouse testes. Significantly, the current study provides a theoretical basis and demonstrates the experimental evidence for the potential application of antioxidant, such as NAC, in public health prevention, particularly in 1-NP-induced endocrine disorder.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 307:119484. [PMID: 35613681 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.119484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2022] [Revised: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Previous study found 1-NP disrupted steroidogenesis in mouse testis, but the underlying mechanism remained elusive. The current work aims to explore the roles of ROS-promoted AKAP1 degradation and excessive mitochondrial fission in 1-NP-induced steroidogenesis disruption in MLTC-1 cells. Transmission electron microscope analysis found 1-NP promoted excessive mitochondrial fission. Further data showed 1-NP disrupted mitochondrial function. pDRP1 (Ser637), a negative regulator of mitochondrial fission, was reduced in 1-NP-treated MLTC-1 cells. Mechanistically, 1-NP caused degradation of AKAP1, an upstream regulator of pDRP1 (Ser637). MG132, a proteasome inhibitor, attenuated 1-NP-induced AKAP1 degradation and downstream pDRP1 (Ser637) reduction, thereby ameliorating 1-NP-downregulated steroidogenesis. Further analysis found that cellular ROS was elevated and NOX4, HO-1 and SOD2 were upregulated in 1-NP-exposed MLTC-1 cells. NAC, a well-known commercial antioxidant, alleviated 1-NP-induced excessive ROS and oxidative stress. 1-NP-induced AKAP1 degradation and subsequent downregulation of pDRP1 (Ser637) were prevented by NAC pretreatment. Moreover, NAC attenuated 1-NP-resulted T synthesis disturbance in MLTC-1 cells. The present study indicates that ROS mediated AKAP1 degradation and subsequent pDRP1 (Ser637) dependent mitochondrial fission is indispensable in 1-NP caused T synthesis disruption. This study provides a new insight into 1-NP-induced endocrine disruption, and offers theoretical basis in public health prevention.
