Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a potentially malignant disorder. Although areca nut chewing is an established risk factor, its low prevalence among nut chewers indicates additional factors likely facilitates pathogenesis. We recently demonstrated high fluoride levels in smokeless tobacco products and hypothesized a potential pathological role of fluoride in OSMF. Further exploring this novel role, this study compared fluoride levels in tissue, serum, and saliva samples from OSMF patients and healthy controls. METHODS The ethically approved study included 25 clinically confirmed OSMF patients and 25 healthy matched controls. OSMF cases underwent buccal mucosal incisional biopsy, while controls had buccal mucosa tissue sampling during third molar removal. Fasting venous blood and unstimulated saliva were collected. Fluoride levels were analysed using ion chromatography and expressed as median (IQR). RESULTS OSMF cases showed significantly higher fluoride concentrations compared with controls in tissue biopsies (30.1 vs. 0 mg/kg, p < 0.0001), serum (0.4 vs. 0 mg/L, p = 0.005) and saliva (1.3 vs. 0 mg/L, p < 0.0001). Majority (68%) of controls had undetectable fluoride levels across all samples. Tissue fluoride weakly correlated with OSMF severity (r = -0.158, p = 0.334). CONCLUSION The preliminary findings demonstrated increased tissue fluoride levels in OSMF patients compared with healthy controls. Along with a previous study showing high fluoride content in smokeless tobacco products, these findings provided early evidence suggesting fluoride could play a contributory role in OSMF pathogenesis. Further large-scale investigation is warranted to definitively establish whether the association between fluoride exposure and OSMF is indicative of causation.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to perform systematic review (SR) to investigate the scientific literature regarding the genotoxicity effects of fluoride exposure (FE). The search of databases used for this study was PubMed/Medline, SCOPUS and Web of Science. The quality of included studies was assessed using the EPHPP (Effective Public Health Practice Project). A total of 20 potentially relevant studies were selected for evaluating the genotoxicity induced by fluoride. Few studies have revealed that FE induces genotoxicity. A total of 14 studies demonstrated negative results whereas 6 studies did not. After reviewing the twenty studies, 1 was classified as weak, 10 were considered moderate and 9 were considered strong, according to the EPHPP. Taken together, it has been established that genotoxicity of fluoride is limited.

Abstract
The use of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy (RS) for the analysis of lymphocytes in clinical applications is increasing in the field of biomedicine. The pre-analytical phase, which is the most vulnerable stage of the testing process, is where most errors and sample variance occur; however, it is unclear how pre-analytical variables affect the FTIR and Raman spectra of lymphocytes. In this study, we evaluated how pre-analytical procedures undertaken before spectroscopic analysis influence the spectral integrity of lymphocytes purified from the peripheral blood of male volunteers (n = 3). Pre-analytical variables investigated were associated with (i) sample preparation, (blood collection systems, anticoagulant, needle gauges), (ii) sample storage (fresh or frozen), and (iii) sample processing (inter-operator variability, time to lymphocyte isolation). Although many of these procedural pre-analytical variables did not alter the spectral signature of the lymphocytes, evidence of spectral effects due to the freeze-thaw cycle, in vitro culture inter-operator variability and the time to lymphocyte isolation was observed. Although FTIR and RS possess clinical potential, their translation into a clinical environment is impeded by a lack of standardisation and harmonisation of protocols related to the preparation, storage, and processing of samples, which hinders uniform, accurate, and reproducible analysis. Therefore, further development of protocols is required to successfully integrate these techniques into current clinical workflows.

In vitro evaluation of the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of Al and Mn in ambient concentrations detected in groundwater intended for human consumption.

Abstract
Environmental exposure to metals can induce cytotoxic and genotoxic effects in cells and affect the health of the exposed population. To investigate the effects of aluminum (Al) and manganese (Mn), we evaluated their cytogenotoxicity using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) exposed to these metals at previously quantified concentrations in groundwater intended for human consumption. The cell viability, membrane integrity, nuclear division index (NDI), oxidative stress, cell death, cell cycle, and DNA damage were analyzed in PBMCs exposed to Al (0.2, 0.6, and 0.8 mg/L) and Mn (0.1, 0.3, 1.0, and 1.5 for 48 h. We found that Al induced late apoptosis; decreased cell viability, NDI, membrane integrity; and increased DNA damage. However, no significant alterations in the early apoptosis, cell cycle, and reactive oxygen species levels were observed. In contrast, exposure to Mn altered all evaluated parameters related to cytogenotoxicity. Our data show that even concentrations allowed by the Brazilian legislation for Al and Mn in groundwater intended for human consumption cause cytotoxic and genotoxic effects in PBMCs. Therefore, in view of the results found, a comprehensive approach through in vivo investigations is needed to give robustness and validity to the results obtained, thus broadening the understanding of the impacts of metals on the health of environmentally exposed people.

Abstract
Different studies have suggested that fluoride can induce apoptosis in non-skeletal tissues, however, evidence from these experimental studies is still controversial. This meta-analysis aims to clarify the mechanism of fluoride-induced apoptosis in non-skeletal tissues of experimental animals. Primary studies which measured apoptosis were identified through exhaustive database searching in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, and references of included studies. A random effects model with standardized mean difference (SMD) was used for meta-analyses. The heterogeneity of the studies was evaluated using Higgin's I2 statistics. The risk of bias and publication bias were assessed using the SYRCLE's risk of bias tool and Egger's test, respectively. There was an increase in total apoptotic cells, and the expression of Bax, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, Cyt c, and p53, and a decrease in the expression of Bcl-2 in the fluoride-treated groups as compared to the control groups. However, there was no evidence of a difference in the expression of APAF-1 in the two groups. The subgroup analysis highlighted the role of the intervention period in modification of the apoptotic effect of fluoride and that the susceptibility and tolerance of different animal species and tissues vary. Meta-regression analysis indicated that the studies' effect size for total apoptotic cells was influenced by animal species and that of Bax by the sample source. The results of this meta-analysis revealed that fluoride causes apoptosis by up-regulating caspase-3, -8, and -9, Cyt c, p53, Bax, and down-regulating Bcl-2 with a concomitant up-regulation of the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio.

Abstract
This study was planned to evaluate the effect of vitamin D administration on cytotoxicity due to fluoride exposure in vitro. NaF (IC50) and vitamin D (proliferative) were applied to human osteoblast (hFOB 1.19) cells. The major genes of apoptotic, autophagic, and necrotic pathways were determined by RT-PCR. 2-∆∆Ct formulation was used for expression analysis. In the NaF group, caspase 3, Bax, Bad, Bak, Bclx, Atg3, Atg5, Atg6, pG2, LC3-I, LC3-II, RIP1, and RIP3 genes were increased (2.6-15 times). It was observed that the expressions of these genes approached the control when vitamin D was given together with NaF. The Bcl2 gene increased significantly (sixfold) with the effect of NaF, and was down-regulated to some extent with additional vitamin D administration, but still more than in the control. As a result, it was determined that apoptotic, necrotic, and autophagic pathways were activated as the molecular basis of the damage in the bone tissue, which was most affected by fluorine, and these genes were down-regulated and approached the control group with the addition of vitamin D. It was concluded that this is an important data to explain the molecular basis of the protective and therapeutic effect of vitamin D against fluorine toxicity.

Abstract
The effects of the element fluorine on the phosphoinositide-3-kinase-protein kinase B/Akt (PI3K/Akt) pathway has a significant role in regulation of intracellular molecular mechanisms. NRK-52E rat kidney epithelial cell line was selected as the material of the study. NaF was used as the fluorine source in the study. The NaF dose was determined with the MTT assay. The NaF concentrations were determined as the proliferation concentration of 10 μM and IC25 (2250 μM) and IC50 (4250 μM) for 24 h. In the study, the erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ERBB2), phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K), Protein kinase B (PKB,Akt), Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and the Tumor protein 53 (TP53) genes were considered as the target genes. NaF concentration was administered on the cells. Total mRNA was isolated. mRNAs were turned into cDNA. The expression levels of the target genes were determined by RT-qPCR method. According to the results obtained in the study, the low NaF concentration increased the expression levels of the ERBB2, PI3K, and Akt genes, while the higher concentrations did not significantly affect these levels. The expression of mTOR decreased at all given concentrations. The expression of the TP53 gene did not change at the low concentration, while it increased at the high concentrations. Based on the results, it may be stated that fluorine may inhibit the kinase enzymes in the PI3K/Akt pathway. In summary, in the pathogenesis of the cell damage caused by fluorine in the NRK-52E cell line, the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is an important signal pathway.

Abstract
Arsenic and fluoride are two naturally occurring toxicants to which various organisms including a major part of the human populations are co-exposed to. However, interactions between them inside body are quite complicated and needs proper evaluation. Inconclusive reports regarding their combined effects on brain prompted us to conduct this study where we investigated their individual as well as combined effects on female zebrafish brain at environmentally relevant concentrations (50 μgL-1 arsenic trioxide and 15 mgL-1 sodium fluoride) after different time intervals (15, 30 and 60 days). Persistent near-basal level of GSH, least increased MDA content and catalase activity portrayed arsenic and fluoride co-exposure as less toxic which was corroborated with far less damage caused in the histoarchitecture of optic tectum region in midbrain. Stress-responsive genes viz., Nrf2 and Hsp70 were overexpressed after individual as well as combined exposures, indicating a common cellular response to combat the formed oxidative stresses. Biphasic response of AChE upon individual exposure confirmed their neurotoxic effects too. Expression profile of p53 (unaltered), Bax (lower or near-basal) and Bcl2 (comparatively higher), along with absence of DNA fragmentation indicated no induction of apoptosis in the co-exposed group. Tissue accumulation of arsenic and fluoride was significantly less in the brain of co-exposed zebrafish when compared to their individual exposures. This preliminary study indicates an antagonistic effect of these two toxicants in zebrafish brain and needs further studies involving oxidative stress independent markers to understand the detailed molecular mechanism.

The rs78378222 prevalence and the copy loss of the protective allele A in the tumor tissue of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. PeerJ 2020; 8:e10335.

Abstract
Background Rare single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are likely to be a crucial genetic factor for human diseases, including cancer. rs78378222 is rare SNP in 3′-untranslated region (UTR) of TP53 gene leading to disturbance of 3′-end mRNA processing. The frequency of rs78378222 varies in several studied populations. The meta-analysis of 34 genome-wide association studies indicated that rs78378222 was significantly associated with an increased risk of cancer overall. Bioinformatic analysis indicates that somatic loss of the protective A allele of rs78378222 occurs in the tumor tissue of some malignant. The goal of the current study is to document the rs78378222 prevalence and evaluate the copy loss status of the protective allele A in the tumor tissue of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods Total DNA was isolated from FFPE-samples and peripheral blood of patients with DLBCL and comparable in age and sex controls. rs78378222 genotyping was performed by the PCR-RFLP method using restriction endonuclease HindIII. Direct Sanger’s sequencing was used to confirm the presence of C allele of the rs78378222. The search for TP53 gene mutations was carried out by Sanger’s direct sequencing method, according to the IARC protocol. Results The result of genotyping of 136 DNA samples from DLBCL tumor tissue suggested that frequency of the rs78378222 was 11/136 (8.1%). Rare allele C frequency was 11/272 (4.2%). A total of 5/11 DLBCL rs78378222 heterozygous samples had the heterozygosity loss in the TP53 gene. Only one of these cases was combined with TP53 gene mutations which have proven oncogenic potential—p.Arg196Gln, other four cases have not mutations in the coding regions of gene. Conclusions At the stages of DLBCL initiation or progression a loss of the protective allele A of rs78378222 occurs. Further efforts are needed to study possible molecular mechanisms underlying somatic alterations in DLBCL in this region of the TP53 3′-UTR as well as functional studies to illustrate how the presents of rs78378222 may affect tumor progression of lymphoma.

Deng H, Fujiwara N, Cui H, Whitford GM, Bartlett JD, Suzuki M. Histone acetyltransferase promotes fluoride toxicity in LS8 cells. CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 247:125825. [PMID: 31927229 PMCID: PMC7863547 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.125825] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2019] [Revised: 12/31/2019] [Accepted: 01/02/2020] [Indexed: 05/30/2023]
Abstract
Previously we demonstrated that fluoride increased acetylated-p53 (Ac-p53) in LS8 cells that are derived from mouse enamel organ epithelia and in rodent ameloblasts. However, how p53 is acetylated by fluoride and how the p53 upstream molecular pathway responds to fluoride is not well characterized. Here we demonstrate that fluoride activates histone acetyltransferases (HATs) including CBP, p300, PCAF and Tip60 to acetylate p53. HAT activity is regulated by post-translational modifications such as acetylation and phosphorylation. HAT proteins and their post-translational modifications (p300, Acetyl-p300, CBP, Acetyl-CBP, Tip60 and phospho-Tip60) were analyzed by Western blots. p53-HAT binding was detected by co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP). Cell growth inhibition was analyzed by MTT assays. LS8 cells were treated with NaF with/without HAT inhibitors MG149 (Tip60 inhibitor) and Anacardic Acid (AA; inhibits p300/CBP and PCAF). MG149 or AA was added 1 h prior to NaF treatment. Co-IP results showed that NaF increased p53-CBP binding and p53-PCAF binding. NaF increased active Acetyl-p300, Acetyl-CBP and phospho-Tip60 levels, suggesting that fluoride activates these HATs. Fluoride-induced phospho-Tip60 was decreased by MG149. MG149 or AA treatment reversed fluoride-induced cell growth inhibition at 24 h. MG149 or AA treatment decreased fluoride-induced p53 acetylation to inhibit caspase-3 cleavage, DNA damage marker γH2AX expression and cytochrome-c release into the cytosol. These results suggest that acetylation of p53 by HATs contributes, at least in part, to fluoride-induced toxicity in LS8 cells via cell growth inhibition, apoptosis, DNA damage and mitochondrial damage. Modulation of HAT activity may, therefore, be a potential therapeutic target to mitigate fluoride toxicity in ameloblasts.
