Abstract
Hypertension is the most important and well-known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recently, acute organophosphate (OP) poisoning has also been pointed as a CVD risk factor. Despite this evidence, no studies have contrasted the acute toxicosis and cardiovascular (CV) effects of OP poisoning under conditions of normotension and hypertension. In this work, adult male normotensive Wistar and Spontaneously Hypertensive rats (SHR) were intraperitoneally injected with saline or chlorpyrifos (CPF), an OP compound, monitored for acute toxicosis signs and 24-h survival. After poisoning, blood pressure, heart rate and ventilation were recorded, the Bezold-Jarisch Reflex (BJR), the Chemoreflex (CR) were chemically activated, as well as the cardiac autonomic tone (AUT) was assessed. Erythrocyte and brainstem acetylcholinesterase and plasmatic butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activities were measured as well as lipid peroxidation, advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), nitrite/nitrate levels, expression of catalase, TNFα and angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE-1) within the brainstem. CPF induced a much more pronounced acute toxicosis and 33 % lethality in SHR. CPF poisoning impaired ventilation in SHR, the BJR reflex responses in Wistar rats, and the chemoreflex tachypneic response in both strains. CPF inhibited activity of cholinesterases in both strains, increased AOPP and nitrite/nitrate levels and expression of TNFα and ACE-1 in the brainstem of Wistar rats. Interestingly, SHR presented a reduced intrinsic BuChE activity, an important bioscavenger. Our findings show that, CPF at sublethal doses in normotensive rats lead to lethality and much more pronounced acute toxicity signs in the SHR. We also showed that cardiorespiratory reflexes were differentially impacted after CPF poisoning in both strains and that the cardiorespiratory disfunction seems to be associated with interference in cholinergic transmission, oxidative stress and inflammation. These results points to an increased susceptibility to acute toxicosis in hypertension, which may impose a significant risk to vulnerable populations.

Intermittent exposure to chlorpyrifos results in cardiac hypertrophy and oxidative stress in rats. Toxicology 2022; 482:153357.

Abstract
Forbidden in some countries due to its proven toxicity to humans, chlorpyrifos (CPF) still stands as an organophosphate pesticide (OP) highly used worldwide. Cardiotoxicity assessment is an unmet need in pesticide regulation and should be deeply studied through different approaches to better inform and generate an appropriate regulatory response to OP use. In the present study, we used our 4-week intermittent OP exposure model in rats to address the CPF effects on cardiac morphology allied with cardiovascular functional and biomolecular evaluation. Rats were intermittently treated with CPF at doses of 7 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg or saline (i.p.) and assessed for cardiac morphology (cardiomyocyte diameter and collagen content), cardiopulmonary Bezold-Jarisch reflex (BJR) function, cardiac autonomic tone, left ventricle (LV) contractility, cardiac expression of NADPH oxidase (Nox2), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and cardiac levels of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Plasma butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) and brainstem acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were also measured. Intermittent exposure to CPF induced cardiac hypertrophy, increasing cardiomyocyte diameter and collagen content. An impairment of cardioinhibitory BJR responses and an increase in cardiac vagal tone were also observed in CPF-treated animals without changes in LV contractility. CPF exposure increased cardiac Nox-2, CAT, SOD1, and TBARS levels and inhibited plasma BuChE and brainstem AChE activities. Our data showed that intermittent exposure to CPF induces cardiac hypertrophy together with cardiovascular reflex impairment, imbalance of autonomic tone and oxidative stress, which may bring significant cardiovascular risk to individuals exposed to OP compounds seasonally.

Abstract
Pesticides account for hundreds of millions of cases of acute poisoning worldwide each year, with organophosphates (OPs) being responsible for the majority of all pesticide-related deaths. OPs inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which leads to impairment of the central- and peripheral nervous system. Current standard of care (SOC) alleviates acute neurologic-, cardiovascular- and respiratory symptoms and reduces short term mortality. However, survivors often demonstrate significant neurologic sequelae. This highlights the critical need for further development of adjunctive therapies with novel targets. While the inhibition of AChE is thought to be the main mechanism of injury, mitochondrial dysfunction and resulting metabolic crisis may contribute to the overall toxicity of these agents. We hypothesized that the mitochondrially targeted succinate prodrug NV354 would support mitochondrial function and reduce brain injury during acute intoxication with the OP diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP). To this end, we developed a rat model of acute DFP intoxication and evaluated the efficacy of NV354 as adjunctive therapy to SOC treatment with atropine and pralidoxime. We demonstrate that NV354, in combination with atropine and pralidoxime therapy, significantly improved cerebral mitochondrial complex IV-linked respiration and reduced signs of brain injury in a rodent model of acute DFP exposure.

Abstract
Food can be contaminated by multiple classes of toxic substances, mainly including mycotoxins, heavy metals and pesticides, which leads to a possibility of simultaneous exposure to two or more food contaminants for humans. Thus, it is necessary to examine whether the combined exposure could result in enhanced toxicity. Initially, the studies on the combined toxicity of food contaminants mainly focus on the mixtures of same classes of food contaminants due to their co-occurrence feature in foodstuffs, such as mixtures of mycotoxins or mixtures of heavy metals. Given the possibility that consumers are likely exposed to mixtures of different classes of food contaminants, recently, studies on the combined toxicity of different classes of food contaminants have been receiving increasing attentions. In this review article, we summarize the findings of combined toxicity studies related to co-exposure to food-borne mycotoxins and other classes of food contaminants mainly heavy metals or pesticides, and propose issues that need to be addressed in future studies for more accurately performing risk assessment of co-exposure to mycotoxins and other classes of food contaminants.

Abstract
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) are one of the most widely used types of pesticide that play an important role in the production process due to their effects on preventing pathogen infection and increasing yield. However, in the early development and application of OPPs, their toxicological effects and the issue of environmental pollution were not considered. With the long-term overuse of OPPs, their hazards to the ecological environment (including soil and water) and animal health have attracted increasing attention. Therefore, this review first clarified the classification, characteristics, applications of various OPPs, and the government's restriction requirements on various OPPs. Second, the toxicological effects and metabolic mechanisms of OPPs and their metabolites were introduced in organisms. Finally, the existing methods of degrading OPPs were summarized, and the challenges and further addressing strategy of OPPs in the sustainable development of agriculture, the environment, and ecology were prospected. However, methods to solve the environmental and ecological problems caused by OPPs from the three aspects of use source, use process, and degradation methods were proposed, which provided a theoretical basis for addressing the stability of the ecological environment and improving the structure of the pesticide industry in the future.

Resveratrol alleviates cardiac apoptosis following exposure to fenitrothion by modulating the sirtuin1/c-Jun N-terminal kinases/p53 pathway through pro-oxidant and inflammatory response improvements: In vivo and in silico studies. Life Sci 2022; 290:120265.

Abstract
Fenitrothion (FNT), a commonly used organophosphate, can cause oxidative damage and apoptosis on various organs. However, the underlying mechanisms for FNT-induced cardiotoxicity did not formally report. Here, we have evaluated the possible ameliorative roles of resveratrol (RSV) against FNT-induced cardiac apoptosis in male rats through the sirtuin1 (SIRT1)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (c-JNK)/p53 pathway concerning pro-oxidant and inflammatory cytokines. Forty-eight male rats were equally grouped into control, RSV (20 mg/kg), 5-FNT (5 mg/kg), 10-FNT (10 mg/kg), 20-FNT (20 mg/kg), 5-FNT-RSV, 10-FNT-RSV, and 20-FNT-RSV where all doses administrated by gavage for four weeks. The present findings demonstrated that RSV markedly diminished the level of hyperlipidemia and elevation in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), total creatine kinase (CK-T), and troponin T (TnT) levels following FNT intoxication. Furthermore, RSV significantly reduced FNT-induced cardiac oxidative injury by reducing malondialdehyde (MDA) level and improving the levels of glutathione (GSH), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and acetylcholinesterase (AchE). Also, the levels of interleukin-1β (IL1β,), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were significantly attenuated in the co-treated groups. Moreover, RSV alleviated the histopathological changes promoted by FNT and repaired the transcript levels of SIRT1, c-JNK, and caspase-9/3 along with p53 immunoreactivity. In silico study revealed that the free binding energies of RSV complexes with protein and DNA sequences of SIRT1 were lower than docked complexes of FNT. Therefore, RSV reserved myocardial injury-induced apoptosis following exposure to FNT by modulating the SIRT1/c-JNK/p53 pathway through cellular redox status and inflammatory response improvements.

Patterns of cardio-respiratory motor outputs during acute and subacute exposure to chlorpyrifos in an ex-vivo in situ preparation in rats. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2022; 436:115862.

Abstract
While a considerable body of literature has characterized the clinical features induced by organophosphate pesticides, the field lacks scrutiny into cardio-respiratory changes in different phases of poisoning. Herein, we evaluated the impact of chlorpyrifos (CPF) and its active metabolite chlorpyrifos-oxon (CPO) on the cardiorespiratory system during acute and subacute phases of poisoning using an in situ experimental rodent model. CPF (30 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally to rats beforehand (24 h) whereas CPO (15 mg/kg) was added into the perfusate reservoir to evaluate the effects on the motor outputs throughout the three phases of the respiratory cycle: inspiration, post-inspiration and late expiration. Phrenic, recurrent laryngeal (RLN) and thoracic sympathetic nerve activity (tSNA) were recorded. Heart rate was derived from the electrocardiogram (ECG) and the baro- and chemo-reflexes tested. CPF and CPO led to a time-dependent change in cardiorespiratory motor outputs. In the acute phase, the CPO induced bradypnea, transiently reduced the inspiratory time (TI), and increased the amplitude of phrenic. Post-inspiratory (PI) discharge recorded from the RLN was progressively reduced while tSNA was increased. CPO significantly depressed the chemoreflex but had no effect on baroreflex. During subacute phase, CPF prolongated TI with no effect on respiratory rate. Both the RLN PI discharge, the chemoreflex and the baroreflex sympathetic gain were reduced. In addition, both CPF and CPO shifted the cardiac sympatho-vagal balance towards sympathetic dominance. Our data show that different phases of poisoning are associated with specific changes in the cardio-respiratory system and might therefore demand distinct approaches by health care providers.

Abstract
Brazil is a global agricultural commodity producer and the largest consumer of pesticides. Pesticide use in Brazil comprised 549 280 tons in 2018. In the country, soybean, corn, and sugar cane are extensively produced, which are the most pesticides demanding crops. In the last years, the records of new pesticides were the highest in the historical series. They can persist in soil or water, accumulate in organisms, and contaminate workers and the general population through the air, water, or food. This review aimed to gather toxicological data obtained by animal models exposed to 4 pesticides: glyphosate, chlorpyrifos, abamectin, and 2,4-D. An additional goal was to compose an overview of how this subject has been approached, surveying which research groups are working on this field, where they are located, and relations with pesticides used in those regions. We collected the papers from the platforms PubMed, Scopus, Scielo, and Web of Science, performed in Brazil from 2014 to 2019. After two-step blind selection using the software Rayyan QCRI by different authors, 67 studies were selected to extract data. We observed that research is more concentrated in the South region, followed by the Southeast and Midwest, with 43%, 32%, and 23% of the studies, respectively. The prevalent institutions are from the states of Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo, and Goiás. The effects on a variety of biomarkers help predict the potential risks to humans and nontarget organisms. The prevalent animal model was fish (36%). Overall, the main toxic effects evaluated were mortality, abnormalities in the blood cells, developmental abnormalities, and behavior alterations.
