The natural sesquiterpene lactone inulicin suppresses the production of pro-inflammatory mediators via inhibiting NF-κB and AP-1 pathways in LPS-activated macrophages. Immunopharmacol Immunotoxicol 2024:1-36. [PMID: 39048515 DOI: 10.1080/08923973.2024.2384899] [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: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Inulicin is a sesquiterpene lactone in Inulae Flos which is clinically used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as cough, sputum production and vomit. This study aimed to demonstrate the anti-inflammatory activity and the underlying mechanism of inulicin by using LPS-induced in vitro and in vivo models. METHODS LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages and mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPMs) were used for evaluating the in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of inulicin, while endotoxemia mice were used for evaluating its in vivo action. Cytokines' levels were determined by ELISA. RT-qPCR and western blot were used for assaying the mRNA and protein levels of target genes. RAW264.7 macrophages transfected with reporter plasmid pNFκB-TA-luc or pAP1-TA-luc were used for assaying the activation of NF-κB or AP-1 signaling. RESULTS Inulicin significantly inhibited LPS-induced production of NO, IL-6, c-c motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) and IL-1β in both RAW264.7 cells and MPMs. Mechanism study indicated that it could suppress inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), IL-6, CCL2 and IL-1β mRNA levels in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Moreover, inulicin inhibited IκBα phosphorylation and prevented the nuclear translocation of p65, thereby inactivating NF-κB signaling. Concurrently, it also inhibited AP-1 signaling through reducing the phosphorylation of JNK and ERK. In endotoxemia mice, a single intraperitoneal administration of inulicin could decrease the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in serum and peritoneal lavage fluid. CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrates that inulicin possesses anti-inflammatory effects in vitro and in vivo, which suggests that inulicin might be a promising candidate for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Antibiotic contamination has become a global environmental issue of widespread concern, among which oxytetracycline contamination is very severe. In this study, earthworm (Eisenia fetida) was exposed to oxytetracycline to study its impact on the soil environment. The total protein (TP), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) oxidative stress indicators in earthworms were measured, and the integrated biomarker response (IBR) approach was used to evaluate the toxic effect of oxytetracycline on earthworms. A Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and a path analysis model were used to explore the physiological and metabolic processes of earthworms after stress occurs. The results showed that SOD, GPX, and GST play important roles in resisting oxytetracycline stress. In addition, stress injury showed a good dose-effect relationship, and long-term stress from pollutants resulted in the most serious damage to the head tissue of earthworms. These results provide a theoretical basis for understanding the toxic effect of oxytetracycline on soil animals, monitoring the pollution status of oxytetracycline in soil, and conducting ecological security risk assessment.

Abstract
This study investigated the impact of deltamethrin (DM) toxicity on brown trout (Salmo trutta fario), examining its effects on the immune system, including the white blood cell (WBC), lymphocyte (Lym), total immunoglobulin (T. Ig), and lysozyme levels, as well as its neurotoxic consequences on the brain tissue. The neurotoxic effects encompassed oxidative stress, the activity of the antioxidant enzymes, such as the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, and DNA damage using 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). The DM exposure led to elevated levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), and 8-OHdG, while concurrently causing a reduction in the AChE activity, protein and lipid content, WBC count, Lym, lysozyme activity, T. Ig levels, as well as the SOD and CAT levels in the brain tissues of groups 2 and 3 when compared to those in group 1. In summary, the findings of this study strongly indicate that DM induces DNA damage, immunotoxicity, and neurotoxicity in the brain tissue of brown trout, primarily due to the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, the observed dose-dependent responses of DM to the environmental concentrations on all the investigated parameters suggest its potential utility in aquaculture risk assessment.

Fenpropathrin disrupted the gills of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) through oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, apoptosis, and transcriptional alterations. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 271:116007. [PMID: 38280339 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116007] [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: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024]
Abstract
Fenpropathrin (FEN) is an extensively utilized synthetic pyrethroid insecticide frequently found in aquatic ecosystems. However, the adverse effects and potential mechanisms of FEN on aquatic species are poorly understood. In this work, common carp were treated with FEN at concentrations of 0.45 and 1.35 μg/L FEN for 14 days, after which the tissue structure, physiological alterations, and mRNA transcriptome of the gills were evaluated. Specifically, FEN exposure caused pathological damage to the gills of carp, downregulated the levels of claudin-1, occludin, and zonula occluden-1 (ZO-1), and inhibited Na+-K+-ATPase activity in the gills. In addition, FEN exposure promoted an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and significantly upregulated the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-hydroxy-2 deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and protein carbonyl (PC) in the gills. Moreover, the inflammation-related indices (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IFN-γ) and the apoptosis-related parameter caspase-3 were generally increased, especially in the 1.35 μg/L FEN group, and these indices were significantly greater than those in the control group. These findings suggest that FEN exposure can cause oxidative stress, the inflammatory response, and apoptosis in carp gills. Importantly, the results of RNA-seq analysis showed that 0.45 and 1.35 μg/L FEN could significantly interfere with multiple immune and metabolic pathways, including the phagosome, NOD-like receptor (NLR) signalling pathway, Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling pathway, necroptosis, and arachidonic acid metabolism pathways, indicating that the effects of FEN on the gills of fish are intricate. In summary, our findings confirm the toxic effects of FEN on common carp gills and provide additional comprehensive information for evaluating the toxicity and underlying molecular mechanisms of FEN in aquatic organisms.

Abstract
Contamination of the aquatic environment with different insecticides is a major concern in the aquatic ecosystem today. For this reason, in the designed study, Thiamethoxam (TMX) for which there is limited information on its negative effects on Oncorhynchus mykiss was investigated, its effects on hematotoxicity, oxidative status, cytotoxicity, DNA damage and apoptotic status indicators in blood/liver tissue. However, the antitoxic potential of ulexite (UX) supplementation in the elimination of TMX-mediated toxicity has been determined. LC50-96h value determined for TMX 0.73 mg/L has been determined. As a result of hematology profile, TMX application, RBC, Hgb and Hct values showed a temporal decrease compared to the control group, while increases were determined in MCV, MCH and MCHC values. It was determined that the inhibition/induction of hematological parameters was slowed down by adding UX to the medium. During the trial (48th and 96th hours), it was noted that TMX induced cortisol level, while UX supplementation slowed this induction at 48th hour. Antioxidant enzyme activities were significantly inhibited by TMX application, and MDA and MPO values increased as a result of the stimulation of ROS. It was determined that UX added to the medium showed activity in favor of antioxidants and tried to inhibit MDA and MPO levels. When Nrf-2, one of the inflammation parameters, was compared with the administration and control groups, it was determined that it inhibited depending on time, TNF-α, IL-6, DNA damage and apoptosis were induced, and UX suppressed this situation. The results obtained were evaluated as statistically meaningful. Briefly, it was determined that TMX induced oxidative damage in all tissues at 48th - 96th hours, whereas UX mitigated this situation. The results provide possible in vivo evidence that UX supplements can reduce TMX-mediated oxidative stress and tissues damage in O. mykiss blood and liver tissues.

Abstract
Millettia speciosa Champ (MSP) is a natural Chinese herb that improves gastrointestinal health and enhances animal immunity. An 8-week feeding trial with different MSP levels (0, 150, 300, and 600 mg/kg) was conducted to evaluate the promotive effects of MSP in Cyprinus carpio. Results indicate that MSP improved intestinal immunity to some extent evidenced by the immuno-antioxidant parameters and the 16S rRNA in the Illumina MiSeq platform. With the analysis of transcriptome sequencing, 4685 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, including 2149 up-regulated and 2536 down-regulated. According to the GO and KEGG enrichments, DEGs were mainly involved in the immune system. Transcriptional expression of the NOD-like signaling pathway and key genes retrieved from the transcriptome database confirmed that innate immunity was improved in response to dietary MSP administration. Therefore, MSP could be used as a feed supplement that enhances immunity. This may provide insight into Chinese herb additive application in aquaculture production.

Abstract
Deltamethrin is one of the most effective pyrethroid compounds, widely employed in veterinary medicine, public health, and farming. Deltamethrin-triggered oxidative stress largely causes serious harm to an organism. Acute toxicity of this compound was extensively investigated, while less information is available on its oral sub-acute effects. This study assessed, in the male Albino rats, the effects of oral gavage of either 0.874 mg/kg (0.01 LD50) or 8.740 mg/kg (0.10 LD50) of deltamethrin for successive 14 days to investigate its effects on biomarkers and to detect the tissue injury in rats following subacute deltamethrin treatment. It was found that levels of glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase in the brain, kidney, and liver, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and uric acid in serum, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), white blood cells (WBC)s, eosinophils, and basophils were significantly reduced compared with untreated rats. However, when rats were treated with deltamethrin for successive 14 days, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities in serum and the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs) in brain, kidney, and liver, red blood cell distribution width (RDW-CV), total protein, monocytes, and basophils and the ratios of neutrophils to lymphocytes, an aggregated marker of systemic inflammation and systemic immune inflammation indexes, significantly increased compared with the control group. Histologic lesions were observed in the liver, kidney, brain, testis, and epidemies in rats exposed to subacute deltamethrin for 14 days, and most tissues of rats treated with 0.10 LD50 of deltamethrin were more affected than those treated with 0.01 LD50. These findings strongly suggest that subacute exposure to deltamethrin caused significant systemic toxicity through oxidative stress resulting in biochemical and histological changes in the studied tissues. These findings highlight the potential harmful effects of deltamethrin and emphasize the importance of understanding the subacute effects of this compound, particularly in the context of veterinary medicine, public health, and farming.

Abstract
The increasing concern over environmental pollution caused by the pesticide avermectin used in aquaculture has attracted significant attention. The use of avermectin, a neurotoxic pesticide, in aquatic environments leads to toxic effects on non-target organisms, particularly causing harm to fish. The phenolic compound ferulic acid possesses excellent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capabilities. This study was conducted by establishing a chronic exposure experiment to avermectin, proposes the use of ferulic acid as a dietary additive to protect the carp brain from damage caused by exposure to avermectin. Furthermore, it investigates the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of ferulic acid in the carp brain under chronic exposure to avermectin. The experimental results demonstrate that ferulic acid can alleviate brain tissue inflammation and oxidative stress by modulating the Nrf2/Keap1 and NF-κB signaling pathways. It protects the carp brain from chronic avermectin-induced damage, preserves the integrity of the carp blood-brain barrier, enhances the levels of feeding factors, and thereby alleviates carp growth inhibition. These findings provide new therapeutic strategies and a theoretical foundation for the sustainable development of carp aquaculture.

[PMID: 37755753 PMCID: PMC10534886 DOI: 10.3390/toxics11090743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 08/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
Current treatment strategies for parasitic infectious diseases in crucian carp primarily rely on chemotherapy. As a commonly used antiparasitic agent, deltamethrin (DEL) may have the potential adverse effects on external mucosa of fish such as gills. In this study, 180 healthy juvenile crucian carp (Carassius auratus) (average weight: 8.8 ± 1.0 g) were randomly divided into three groups for 28 days, which were immersed in 0 μg/L, 0.3 μg/L, and 0.6 μg/L of DEL, respectively. The results of histological analysis revealed that severe hyperplasia in the secondary lamellae of gills was observed, and the number of goblet (mucus-secreting) cells increased significantly after DEL immersion. TUNEL staining indicated that the number of apoptotic cells increased in crucian carp gill. At the molecular level, the mRNA expression analysis revealed significant upregulation of apoptosis (caspase 3, caspase 8, and bax), autophagy (atg5 and beclin-1), and immune response (lzm, muc5, il-6, il-8, il-10, tnfα, ifnγ, tgfβ, tlr4, myd88, and nf-kb), whereas tight junction-related genes (occludin and claudin12) were downregulated after DEL immersion, suggesting that DEL immersion altered innate immunity responses and promoted mucus secretion. Moreover, tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomics revealed that a total of 428 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) contained 341 upregulated DEPs and 87 downregulated DEPs with function annotation were identified between the control and DEL groups. Functional analyses revealed that the DEPs were enriched in apoptotic process, phagosome, and lysosome pathways. Additionally, DEL immersion also drove gill microbiota to dysbiosis and an increase in potentially harmful bacteria such as Flavobacterium. Overall, this study showed that DEL elicited shifts in the immune response and changes in the surface microbiota of fish. These results provide new perspectives on the conventional anthelmintic concentration of DEL immersion disorder of the gill immune microenvironment in crucian carp and theoretical support for future optimization of their practical application.

This study investigated the deltamethrin (DMN) induced harmful effects on Pangasius hypophthalmus using enzymatic activity, haematological, and histopathological changes. LC50 value was 0.021mg/L at 96h, and sublethal toxicity was tested for 45 days at two `concentrations (i.e., 1/5th and 1/10th of LC50). Haematological parameters and enzymatic activities significantly changed between DMN-exposed and control groups (p<0.05). Histopathologically, both DMN doses induced liver hyperemia, hepatic cell rupture, necrosis, hypertrepheoid bile duct, shifting nuclei, vascular haemorrhage, and hepatocyte degeneration, while in gill, secondary lamellae destruction, a fusion of adjacent gill lamellae, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, adhesion, and fusion were noticed. Kidney developed melanomacrophages, increased periglomerular and peritubular space, vacuolation, decreased glomerulus, hyaline droplets in tubular cells, loss of tubular epithelium, distal convoluted segment hypertrophy, and granular layer in brain pyramid and Purkinje cell nucleus. But, limiting pesticide impacts on freshwater fish and their habitat requires a holistic, cradle-to-grave approach and toxicological studies.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 193:105445. [PMID: 37248014 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 04/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
Avermectin pollution is an important problem that cannot be ignored in aquatic system in recent years. It has brought great trouble to freshwater aquaculture, especially fishery aquaculture. Plant-derived quercetin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and is widely used as a dietary additive, but its protective effect on immune damage induced by avermectin in freshwater carp remains unclear. This study evaluated the role of dietary additive quercetin supplementation in chronic avermectin exposure of carp spleen. Sixty carp were divided into 4 groups (n = 15/ group), including control group, avermectin treatment group, quercetin treatment group, quercetin and avermectin co-treatment group. Carp were exposed to a 1/10 96 h LC50 dose of avermectin for 30 d and fed a carp diet containing 400 mg/kg quercetin twice a day (3% body weigh/ carp). The results showed that chronic avermectin exposure caused the loose parenchymal structure of carp spleen tissue and the increase of inflammatory cells, accompanied by increased transcription levels of pro-inflammatory il-1β, il-6, tnf-α and decreased levels of anti-inflammatory factors il-10 and tgf-β1, ROS accumulation in spleen tissue. MDA content increased and T-AOC, CAT and GSH levels decreased. Quercetin down-regulates the NF-κB pathway by inhibiting the expression of iNOS and activating p38 MAPK, blocking the transcription of inflammatory factors, and alleviating the inflammation of carp spleen caused by chronic avermectin exposure. In addition, quercetin inhibits the over-activation of Nrf2/Keap-1 signaling axis, blocks ROS accumulation, and restores the spleen REDOX homeostasis. In conclusion, quercetin, as a dietary additive for carp feed, can effectively improve the immune damage caused by avermectin pollution in aquatic environment, resist spleen inflammation and oxidative stress, and provide a theoretical basis for clinical development of freshwater carp feed.

Abstract
Pesticides are omnipresent, and they pose significant environmental and health risks. Translational studies indicate that acute exposure to high pesticide levels is detrimental, and prolonged contact with low concentrations of pesticides, as single and cocktail, could represent a risk factor for multi-organ pathophysiology, including the brain. Within this research template, we focus on pesticides' impact on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and neuroinflammation, physical and immunological borders for the homeostatic control of the central nervous system (CNS) neuronal networks. We examine the evidence supporting a link between pre- and postnatal pesticide exposure, neuroinflammatory responses, and time-depend vulnerability footprints in the brain. Because of the pathological influence of BBB damage and inflammation on neuronal transmission from early development, varying exposures to pesticides could represent a danger, perhaps accelerating adverse neurological trajectories during aging. Refining our understanding of how pesticides influence brain barriers and borders could enable the implementation of pesticide-specific regulatory measures directly relevant to environmental neuroethics, the exposome, and one-health frameworks.

Abstract
PURPOSE Glioblastoma (GBM) is an intractable disease for which various treatments have been attempted, but with little effect. This study aimed to measure the effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and sonodynamic therapy (SDT), which are currently being used to treat brain tumors, as well as sono-photodynamic therapy (SPDT), which is the combination of these two. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four groups of Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with C6 glioma cells in a cortical region and treated with PDT, SDT, and SPDT. Gd-MRI was monitored weekly and 18F-FDG-PET the day before and 1 week after the treatment. The acoustic power used during sonication was 5.5 W/cm² using a 0.5-MHz single-element transducer. The 633-nm laser was illuminated at 100 J/cm². Oxidative stress and apoptosis markers were evaluated 3 days after treatment using immunohistochemistry (IHC): 4-HNE, 8-OhdG, and Caspase-3. RESULTS A decrease in tumor volume was observed in MRI imaging 12 days after the treatment in the PDT group (p<0.05), but the SDT group showed a slight increase compared to the 5-Ala group. The high expression rates of reactive oxygen species-related factors, such as 8-OhdG (p<0.001) and Caspase-3 (p<0.001), were observed in the SPDT group compared to other groups in IHC. CONCLUSION Our findings show that light with sensitizers can inhibit GBM growth, but not ultrasound. Although SPDT did not show the combined effect in MRI, high oxidative stress was observed in IHC. Further studies are needed to investigate the safety parameters to apply ultrasound in GBM.

Abstract
Environmental pollution increases due to anthropogenic activities. Toxic chemicals in the environment affect the health of aquatic organisms. Tributyltin (TBT) is a toxic chemical widely used as an antifouling paint on boats, hulls, and ships. The toxic effect of TBT is well documented in aquatic organisms; however, little is known about the effects of TBT on DNA lesions in shellfish. The American oyster (Crassostrea virginica, an edible and commercially important species) is an ideal marine mollusk to examine the effects of TBT exposure on DNA lesions and oxidative/nitrative stress. In this study, we investigated the effects of TBT on 8'-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG, a biomarker of pro-mutagenic DNA lesion), double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), dinitrophenyl protein (DNP, a biomarker on reactive oxygen species, ROS), 3-nitrotyrosine protein (NTP, a biomarker of reactive nitrogen species, RNS), catalase (CAT, an antioxidant), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE, a cholinergic enzyme) expressions in the gills and digestive glands of oysters. We also analyzed extrapallial (EF) fluid conditions. Immunohistochemical and qRT-PCR results showed that TBT exposure significantly increased 8-OHdG, dsDNA, DNP, NTP, and CAT mRNA and/or protein expressions in the gills and digestive glands. However, AChE mRNA and protein expressions, and EP fluid pH and protein concentrations were decreased in TBT-exposed oysters. Taken together, these results suggest that antifouling biocide-induced production of ROS/RNS results in DNA damage, which may lead to decreased cellular functions in oysters. To the best of our knowledge, the present study provides the first molecular/biochemical evidence that TBT exposure results in oxidative/nitrative stress and DNA lesions in oysters.

Abstract
Deltamethrin (Del) has been widely used for effectively controlling ectoparasites of crucian carp and was also strictly prohibited in a hypoxic environment. A previous study indicated that Del exposure causes gill injury in Carassius auratus, which is associated with oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress), but the precise mechanism is not well understood. Here, crucian carp were exposed to Del (0.61, 1.22, 2.44, 4.88 μg/L) for 24 h and then subjected to acute hypoxia challenge (1.0 mg/L) for 24 h. The results revealed that acute exposure to Del notably increased MDA content but markedly decreased CAT activities. Moreover, the T-AOC and SOD activities first increased and then decreased in the 4.88 μg/L Del group. Likewise, the mRNA levels of Nrf2 signaling and its target genes (ho-1, mt, sod, cat, and gpx1) were significantly downregulated in the high concentration exposure groups, while the mRNA levels of keap1 showed the opposite change trend. Meanwhile, Del exposure evoked the PERK-ATF4-CHOP and IRE1 signaling pathways and triggered ER stress in a dose-dependent manner in crucian carp. Importantly, we found that Del exposure significantly decreased the survival rate of crucian carp after hypoxia challenge by reducing oxygen uptake, modifying energy metabolism, and promoting lactate accumulation. Additionally, Del exposure aggravated gill damage and apoptosis under hypoxic stress, which was confirmed by histological assays. Collectively, we inferred that acute exposure to deltamethrin induces oxidative stress and ER stress and impairs hypoxic resistance of crucian carp.

Abstract
The indiscriminate use of deltamethrin in agriculture and aquaculture can lead to residues increased in many regions, which poses negative impacts on intestinal health of aquatic organisms. Although the potential toxicity of deltamethrin have recently attracted attention, the comprehensive studies on intestinal injuries after chronic deltamethrin exposure remain poorly understood. Herein, in a 28-day chronic toxicity test, crucian carp expose to different concentrations of deltamethrin (0, 0.3, and 0.6 μg/L) were used as the research object. We found that the morphology changes and increased goblet cells in intestinal tissue, and the extent of tissue injury increased along with the increasing exposure dose of deltamethrin. Additionally, the genes expression of antioxidant activity (Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn SOD), glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1), and catalase (CAT)), inflammatory response (tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interferon gamma (IFNγ), and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β)), and tight junctions (Claudin 12 (CLDN12), and tight junction protein 1 (ZO-1)) dramatically increased. Meanwhile, the apoptosis and autophagy process were triggered through caspase-9 cascade and autophagy related 5 (ATG5)- autophagy related 12 (ATG12) conjugate. Besides, chronic deltamethrin exposure increased the amount of Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobiota, while decreased Fusobacteriota abundance, resulting in intestinal microbiota function disorders. In summary, our results highlight that chronic exposure to deltamethrin cause serious intestinal toxicity and results in physiological changes and intestinal flora disturbances.

Abstract
Deltamethrin (DLM) is a widely used and highly effective insecticide. DLM exposure is harmful to animal and human. Quail, as a bird model, has been widely used in the field of toxicology. However, there is little information available in the literature about quail cerebrum damage caused by DLM. Here, we investigated the effect of DLM on quail cerebrum neurons. Four groups of healthy quails were assigned (10 quails in each group), respectively given 0, 15, 30, and 45 mg/kg DLM by gavage for 12 weeks. Through the measurements of quail cerebrum, it was found that DLM exposure induced obvious histological changes, oxidative stress, and neurons apoptosis. To further explore the possible molecular mechanisms, we performed real-time quantitative PCR to detect the expression of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related mRNA such as glucose regulated protein 78 kD, activating transcription factor 6, inositol requiring enzyme, and protein kinase RNA (PKR)-like ER kinase. In addition, we detected ATP content in quail cerebrum to evaluate the functional status of mitochondria. The study showed that DLM exposure significantly increased the expression of ER stress-related mRNA and decreased ATP content in quail cerebrum tissues. These results suggest that chronic exposure to DLM induces apoptosis of quail cerebrum neurons via promoting ER stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, our results provide a novel explanation for DLM-induced apoptosis of avian cerebrum neurons.

Abstract
Neonicotinoids pesticides are extensively used in many countries due to their high insect selectivity. Acetamiprid and thiamethoxam are the neonicotinoids most commonly detected in the aquatic environment. This work examined the single and joint toxicity of acetamiprid and thiamethoxam in a freshwater fish Catla catla. Fish were exposed to acetamiprid (0.5 mg/L and 1 mg/L), thiamethoxam (0.01 mg/L and 0.5 mg/L) and their binary mixtures (0.5 mg/L of acetamiprid and 0.01 mg/L of thiamethoxam) for 96 h. The stress biomarkers such as glucose, protein, electrolytes, Na+/K+ -ATPase and oxidative stress were evaluated. Among the biochemical parameters, plasma protein, electrolytes (sodium, potassium and chloride) and gill ATPase activity were decreased in response to individual and binary mixtures treatments. In contrast, blood glucose level showed significant increase in all the treatments. Exposure to various concentrations of acetamiprid and thiamethoxam resulted in significant decrease in superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the gill tissue. However, SOD activity was significantly elevated during binary mixtures treatment. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in gills were decreased significantly after individual and binary mixtures treatments. Fish exposed at individual and binary mixtures significantly elevated the level of LPO in gill tissue. Our findings suggest that multi-biomarker approach can be effectively used to assess the effects of joint toxicity of pesticides and to monitor the neonicotinoids pesticides in the aquatic environment.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a new class of non-endogenous coding RNA and an area with a lot of research interest and activity. Cypermethrin and chlorpyrifos have been shown to cause serious toxicological damage in the brain of fish and other non-target organisms. However, circRNAs associated with acute brain toxicity caused by cypermethrin and chlorpyrifos have not been studied yet. In this study, circRNAs were identified and characterized using RNA-seq in Zebrafish brains exposed to acute cypermethrin and chlorpyrifos toxicity. A total of 10,375 circRNAs were detected. It was determined that 6 circRNAs were up-regulated, 10 circRNAs were down-regulated in CYP brain samples compared to controls. In addition, it was found that 57 circRNAs are up-regulated and 3 circRNAs down-regulated in CPF brain samples compared to controls. Moreover, 62 circRNAs were down-regulated in the CYP samples, when CYP and CPF samples were compared. However, up-regulated circRNA could not be detected. It was revealed that the detected circRNAs specifically regulated the MAPK signaling pathway, endocytosis mechanism, apoptosis, and p53 signaling pathway. This study, which was conducted for the first time in terms of the subject of the study, could bring a different perspective, especially to pesticide toxicity studies.

Front Immunol 2022; 13:916100. [PMID: 35747138 PMCID: PMC9211022 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.916100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Deltamethrin (Del) is a widely used pyrethroid insecticide and a dangerous material that has brought serious problems to the healthy breeding of aquatic animals. However, the toxicological mechanisms of Del on channel catfish remain unclear. In the present study, we exposed channel catfish to 0, 0.5, and 5 μg/L Del for 6 h, and analyzed the changes in histopathology, trunk kidney transcriptome, and intestinal microbiota composition. The pathological analyses showed that a high concentration of Del damaged the intestine and trunk kidney of channel catfish in the early stage. The transcriptome analysis detected 32 and 1837 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in channel catfish trunk kidneys after exposure to 0.5 and 5 μg/L Del, respectively. Moreover, the KEGG pathway and GO enrichment analyses showed that the apoptosis signaling pathway was significantly enriched, and apoptosis-related DEGs, including cathepsin L, p53, Bax, and caspase-3, were also detected. These results suggested that apoptosis occurs in the trunk kidney of channel catfish in the early stage of acute exposure to Del. We also detected some DEGs and signaling pathways related to immunity and drug metabolism, indicating that early exposure to Del can lead to immunotoxicity and metabolic disorder of channel catfish, which increases the risk of pathogenic infections and energy metabolism disorders. Additionally, 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that the composition of the intestinal microbiome significantly changed in channel catfish treated with Del. At the phylum level, the abundance of Firmicutes, Fusobacteria, and Actinobacteria significantly decreased in the early stage of Del exposure. At the genus level, the abundance of Romboutsia, Lactobacillus, and Cetobacterium decreased after Del exposure. Overall, early exposure to Del can lead to tissue damage, metabolic disorder, immunotoxicity, and apoptosis in channel catfish, and affect the composition of its intestinal microbiota. Herein, we clarified the toxic effects of Del on channel catfish in the early stage of exposure and explored why fish under Del stress are more vulnerable to microbial infections and slow growth.

Abstract
The study explicates the genotoxic effects of commercial grade cypermethrin on peripheral erythrocytes of Catla catla, chronically exposed to two environmentally relevant concentrations. The fish was treated with sub-lethal concentrations 0.12 μg/L and 0.41 μg/L (1/10th and /1/3rd of 96 h LC50 ) of cypermethrin for 45 days. DNA damage in the exposed fish was assessed using alkaline comet assay, presence of micronuclei (MN), erythrocyte nuclear and cytoplasmic abnormalities. Exposure to cypermethrin induced a dose-dependent increase in percent DNA damage, micronucleus frequency and erythrocyte abnormalities. Nuclear anomalies such as notched nuclei, lobed nuclei, bridged nuclei, and deformed nuclei; and cytoplasmic anomalies like anisochromasia, vacuolated cytoplasm, lobed cells, and echinocytes were observed. The findings revealed the genotoxic potential of commercial formulations pyrethroid cypermethrin at concentrations found in the environment and their potential deleterious effects on nontarget aquatic organisms.

Histopathology and transcriptome analysis reveals the gills injury and immunotoxicity in gibel carp following acute deltamethrin exposure. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2022; 234:113421.

Abstract
More and more evidences proved that deltamethrin (Del) exposure induced adverse effects and damaged immune function to the aquatic animals in the parasite killing process with increasing insecticide application. However, little is currently known of the negative effect on mucosal immunity, especially in gills tissue. Therefore, this study was aimed to reveal the tissue injury and immunotoxicity in the gill of gibel carp following acute deltamethrin exposure. The LC50 of deltamethrin on gibel carp at 96 h was determined to be 6.194 μg/L, and then juvenile gibel carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) (8.8 ± 1.0 g) were exposed to four Del exposure groups (0.61, 1.22, 2.44, and 4.88 μg/L) for 12 h and 24 h. We measured the lysozyme (LYZ) contents and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities and found that with increased concentration of Del exposure, the LYZ contents were found to increase in the 1.22 μg/L Del group initially significantly and then gradually significantly decrease in the 4.88 μg/L Del group. And the activities of MPO were significantly lifted in a dose-dependent manner. The histological analysis showed that Del exposure caused serious desquamation and necrosis in the surface of epithelial cells, accompanied by interlamellar cellular mass degenerative. In addition, the mucous cells were significantly decreased in the high Del concentration group (2.44 μg/L and 4.88 μg/L Del group) by AB-PAS staining. Additionally, totally 2857 DEGs (including 1624 up-regulated and 1233 down-regulated genes) were identified between the control group and 4.88 μg/L Del exposure group using transcriptional analysis. Among these, some genes involved in innate immune molecules, complement activation, apoptosis-related molecules, cytokine, and adaptive immune molecules, were also down-regulated. Importantly, we found immune system process and tumor necrosis factor receptor (superfamily) binding pathways were downregulated based on the GO and KEGG enrichment analysis. Meanwhile, we detected the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, and IL-8), anti-inflammatory cytokines (TGF-β), LYZ, IgM, and Hsp70 in the gills tissue at 12 h and 24 h after Del exposure, which were consistent with our sequencing results. Collectively, these results demonstrated that the gills injury and immunotoxicity were induced by Del exposure and provided novel insight for explaining to some extent why Del-exposure fish are more susceptible to concurrent or secondary viral or bacterial infections.

Abstract
Ifosfamide (IFO) is used for treating childhood solid tumors, but its use is limited by its adverse effects on kidneys. Morin may be used to prevent nephrotoxic and other side effects. We investigated the underlying mechanisms of the protective effects of morin on IFO induced nephrotoxicity. We used 35 male rats divided into five groups of seven: control group, morin group, IFO group, 100 mg/kg morin + IFO group and 200 mg/kg morin + IFO group. We measured kidney tissue oxidant, antioxidant and inflammatory parameters using ELISA, and apoptosis was evaluated using immunohistochemistry and real time PCR. Serum urea, creatinine and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) levels were increased by IFO treatment; elevated levels were decreased significantly by treatment with both 100 and 200 mg/kg morin. Morin treatment also decreased oxidative stress and lipid oxidation in IFO treated rats. The ameliorative effect of morin on inflammatory response was due to reduced levels of NF-κB and TNF-α. Morin also reduced NF-κB/p53 levels by increasing Bcl-2 expression in IFO treated kidneys. Morin may prevent IFO induced nephrotoxicity via the NF-κB/p53 and Bcl-2 signaling pathways.

Abstract
As a widely used synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, deltamethrin (DM) causes serious health problems to aquatic organisms. However, the comprehensive understanding of the adverse effect of DM on aquatic organisms has received limited attention. In this study, goldfish (Carassius auratus) were exposed to 0 (control group), 0.2 and 2 µg/L DM for 96 h. The kidney transcriptome and intestinal microbiota were investigated. Comparative transcriptome analysis identified 270 and 711 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in goldfish kidneys after exposure to 0.2 and 2 µg/L DM, respectively. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that the apoptosis pathway was markedly regulated and the regulation of programmed cell death was significantly enriched by the GO analysis. Several apoptosis-related genes including cathepsin L and cytochrome c were also detected. These results indicated that apoptosis occurred in the goldfish kidney after acute exposure to sublethal concentration of DM. Besides, some immune and drug metabolism-related DEGs were identified, indicating that exposure to DM caused immunotoxicity and metabolic disruption in goldfish. Additionally, 16 S rRNA gene sequencing analysis revealed a remarkable alteration in the composition of the intestinal microbial community of DM-treated goldfish. At the phylum level, the abundance of Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Fusobacteria was increased, whereas the abundance of Bacteroidetes was reduced significantly after DM exposure. At the genus level, the abundance of Aeromonas, Cetobacterium, Dielma and Pseudorhodobacter was reduced, whereas Akkermansia was increased after DM exposure. In summary, exposure to DM could induce apoptosis and immunotoxicity in goldfish kidneys and affect the composition of the intestinal microbiota in goldfish. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the adverse effect of DM exposure on the goldfish and will be helpful for understanding the toxicological mechanisms of DM in fish.

Abstract
Deltamethrin (Del), a commonly used broad-spectrum insecticide, has been reported to have a toxic effect on aquatic animals, but knowledge in freshwater prawns is limited. This study revealed that Del is highly toxic to Macrobrachium nipponens with the 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, and 96 h LC50 values to be 0.268, 0.165, 0.104, and 0.066 μg/L, respectively. To further investigate the toxic effect of Del in M. nipponense and the reversibility of damage, prawns were exposed to 0.05 μg/L Del for four days and then transferred into fresh water for seven days. Histopathological examination, oxidative stress, hepatopancreas function, respiration system, and immune system were analyzed through multiple biomarkers. Results showed that Del exposure caused severe histopathological damage to hepatopancreas and gill in M. nipponense, and the prominent decrease of acid phosphatase (ACP) and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity further enhanced the hepatopancreas damage; the accumulation of malonaldehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and the decrease of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, indicated severe oxidative stress caused by Del. Besides, Del exposure also induced remarkably increased lactic acid (LD) level, decreased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, and decreased expression of immune-related genes, which demonstrated the respiration disruption and immunosuppression caused by Del. After 7-day decontamination in freshwater, the indicator of hepatopancreas function (ACP and AKP activity) and respiration (LD level and LDH activity) improved to the control group level. However, the histopathological damage and the biomarker in oxidative stress and immune system did not recover to the initial level.

Abstract
Deltamethrin (DM) is a synthetic pyrethroid used for agricultural purposes to control insects. However, its extensive use contaminates the aquatic environment and results in serious health problems in aquatic organisms. Knowledge about the toxic effect of DM in freshwater prawns is limited; therefore, this study aims to assess the toxicity of DM in Macrobrachium rosenbergii based on multiple biomarkers. Four-day acute toxicity tests showed that DM was highly toxic to M. rosenbergii with the 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h LC50 values to be 1.919, 0.603, 0.539, and 0.449 μg/L, respectively. According to 96 h LC50, prawns were exposed to DM at three concentrations (0.02, 0.08, and 0.32 μg/L) for 4 days, and then moved into fresh water for decontamination to investigate the toxic effect of DM in M. rosenbergii. At low concentration (0.02 μg/L and 0.08 μg/L), DM did not cause obvious histopathological damage to hepatopancreas and gill tissue, while at high concentration (0.32 μg/L), the histopathological harm was serious and the damage did not recover to the initial level after 7-day decontamination. 0.02 μg/L DM exposure did not induce significant changes in most of the biomarkers except the increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, lactic acid (LD) level, and the first increased then decreased mRNA expression of immune-related genes, indicating the stimulation of DM on energy production and immunity. 0.08 μg/L and 0.32 μg/L DM exposure resulted in varying degrees of damage on prawns, but overall, their toxic effects showed similar trends based on the biomarkers. Increase in malonaldehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content and decrease in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity after DM exposure demonstrated the oxidative stress caused by DM. The significantly increased acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), LDH activity and LD level indicated hepatopancreatic dysfunction and respiration disruption. The first increased and then decreased expression pattern of immune-related genes indicated the immunosuppression caused by DM. After 7-day decontamination in freshwater, the activity/level of the biomarkers partly recovered. This study revealed the severe toxic effect of DM on Macrobrachium rosenbergii based on multiple biomarkers, providing fundamental knowledge for the establishment of DM toxicity assessment system with proper parameters in freshwater crustaceans.

Abstract
Pyrethroids, synthetic derivatives of natural pyrethrins derived from Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolim,
are commonly used for plant protection in the forestry, agricultural, pharmaceutical industry
as well as in medicine and veterinary medicine. They can enter the body by inhalation,
ingestion and skin contact. It was assumed that they are characterized by low toxicity to humans,
are quickly metabolized and do not accumulate in tissues, and are excreted in the urine. Despite
the existing restrictions, their use carries a great risk, because these compounds and their metabolites
can get into the natural environment, contaminating water, soil and food. The consequences
of using pyrethroids as a direct threat to animal and human health have been described
for many years. They are published on an ongoing basis informing about poisoning with these
compounds in humans and animals, and about fatalities after their taking. Children are most at
risk because pyrethroids can be found in breast milk. These compounds have nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic,
immunotoxic, neurotoxic effects and have a negative effect on the reproductive system
and the fetus. Pyrethroids such as permethrin, deltamethrin, alpha-cypermethrin are approved
by the World Health Organization for daily use; however, numerous scientific studies indicate
that they can cause oxidative stress. They lead to DNA, protein, lipid damage and induction of
apoptosis. The purpose of the work was to collect and systematize the available knowledge regarding
the induction of oxidative stress by selected pyrethroids.

Abstract
Human and animal welfare primarily depends on the availability of food and surrounding environment. Over a century and half, the quest to identify agents that can enhance food production and protection from vector borne diseases resulted in the identification and use of a variety of pesticides, of which the pyrethroid based ones emerged as the best choice. Pesticides while improved the quality of life, on the other hand caused enormous health risks. Because of their percolation into drinking water and food chain and usage in domestic settings, humans unintentionally get exposed to the pesticides on a daily basis. The health hazards of almost all known pesticides at a variety of doses and exposure times are reported. This review provides a comprehensive summation on the historical, epidemiological, chemical and biological (physiological, biochemical and molecular) aspects of pyrethroid based insecticides. An overview of the available knowledge suggests that the synthetic pyrethroids vary in their chemical and toxic nature and pose health hazards that range from simple nausea to cancers. Despite large number of reports, studies that focused on identifying the health hazards using doses that are equivalent or relevant to human exposure are lacking. It is high time such studies are conducted to provide concrete evidence on the hazards of consuming pesticide contaminated food. Policy decisions to decrease the residual levels of pesticides in agricultural products and also to encourage organic farming is suggested.

Abstract
This study was performed to investigate the tissue-specific effects of clothianidin on Oncorhynchus mykiss by evaluating the biochemical and histological alterations following 21 days of treatment to environmentally relevant concentrations of 3, 15, and 30 µg/L. The emerged behavioral changes in feeding and swimming performance were considered as adaptive responses to avoid the chemical. The toxic effect of pesticide on nervous system and osmoregulation was evidenced with the inhibition of AChE and Na+K+-ATPase. The sustained lipid peroxidation, ranging from muscle (196%) > brain (154%) > gill (140%) > kidney (129%), might be suggested as a mechanism mediating the inhibition of membrane-bound enzymes. Histological evaluation showed clothianidin-induced lesions appearing as necrosis, atrophy, and edema in muscle, hyperplasia, and hypertrophy causing shortening and fusion of the secondary lamellae in gill, vacuolization, and hydropic degeneration in brain, degeneration of tubular epithelium, and existence of melanomacrophage centers in kidney. The pronounced degenerative changes observed in gill indicate the vulnerability of tissue possibly due to its role as first contact and entry point for the pesticide. Consequently, clothianidin exerted its toxic effects by altering normal behavior, causing neurotoxicity and disturbing osmoregulation. Moreover, the imposed stress was responded in a tissue-specific manner and histological lesions become more severe with increasing concentration. The findings clearly reveal the potential threat caused by environmentally relevant concentrations of clothianidin to early life stages of fish.

Neuromodulatory effect of cinnamon oil on behavioural disturbance, CYP1A1, iNOStranscripts and neurochemical alterations induced by deltamethrin in rat brain. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 209:111820. [PMID: 33385678 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.111820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2020] [Revised: 12/10/2020] [Accepted: 12/16/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of deltamethrin (DLM)on brain function and to find whether DLM-induced neurotoxicity is prevented by the treatment with cinnamon oil. Four groups of ten Wistar albino male rats each were used. Group I (control) received saline only. Group II received cinnamon oil alone at 0.5 mg/kg B.W. intraperitonally, whereas Group III received orally DLM alone at 6 mg/kg B.W. Groups IV was treated with cinnamon oil plus DLM for 21 days to induce neurotoxicity. Rat behaviour, brain acetylcholine esterase (AChE), serotonin, oxidative stress profile were assessed. Serum sampling for the assessment of corticosterone concentration was also carried out. Finally, we demonstrate the gene expression of CYP1A1 and iNOS and the histological picture of the brain. Considering the behaviour assessment, DLM administration alone caused neurobehavioral deficits manifested by anxiety-like behavior which represented ina marked decrease in the sleeping frequency and duration, and marked increase the digging frequency and a wake non-active behavior duration. Moreover, the open field result showed a significant decrease in central square entries and duration. The neurochemical analysis revealed that DLM significantly suppressed AChE activity and elevated serotonin and corticosterone concentrations. Furthermore, results revealed thatthe brain reduced glutathione (GSH) content, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration were significantly altered in DLM treated rats. Neurochemical disturbances were confirmed by histopathological changes in the brain. Furthermore, DLM up-regulates the mRNA expression of brain CYP1A1 and iNOS. Co-treatment with cinnamon oil exhibited significant improvement in behavioural performance and the brain antioxidant capacities with an increase in AChE activity and diminished the concentration of serotonin, serum corticosterone and MDA. Cinnamon oil treatment resulted in down-regulation of CYP1A1 and iNOS and improve the histologically picture. In conclusion, cinnamon oil ameliorated DLM-induced neurotoxicity through preventing oxidative stress-induced genotoxicity and apoptosis of brain in rats.

Abstract
Paclitaxel (PTX) is an antineoplastic agent commonly used in the treatment of solid tumors and is known to cause dose-limiting peripheral neurotoxicity. This study was performed to evaluate the protective effect of curcumin (CUR) against PTX-induced spinal cord and sciatic nerve injuries in rats. The rats were administered PTX (2 mg/kg, BW) intraperitoneally for the first 5 consecutive days followed by administration of CUR (100 and 200 mg/kg, BW daily in corn oil) orally for 10 days. Our results showed that CUR significantly reduced mRNA expression levels of NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-6, iNOS and GFAP whereas caused an increase in levels of Nrf2, HO-1 and NQO1 in the spinal cord and sciatic nerve of PTX-induced rats. In addition, CUR suppressed the activation of apoptotic and autophagic pathways by increasing Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, and decreasing p53, caspase-3, Apaf-1, LC3A, LC3B and beclin-1 mRNA expression levels. The results showed that CUR also maintained the spinal cord and sciatic nerve histological architecture and integrity by both LFB staining and H&E staining. Immunohistochemical expressions of 8-OHdG, caspase-3 and LC3B in the PTX-induced spinal cord tissue were decreased after administration of CUR. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that CUR has protective effects on PTX-induced spinal cord and sciatic nerve injuries in rats.

[PMID: 33049500 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.128499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 09/26/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Triflumezopyrim is an excellent pesticide for preventing and controlling rice planthoppers. It is widely used in the production of field rice and mainly through spraying with some inadvertent loss of pesticide to the soil. The future may bring development and utilization of seeds containing triflumezopyrim which will certainly impact earthworms. To evaluate the toxic effects of triflumezopyrim on earthworms, reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities, malondialdehyde content (MDA), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and DNA oxidative damage (8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, 8-OHdG) were measured after 7, 14, 21, and 28 d analyzing the effects of 6 concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg) of triflumezopyrim, respectively. ROS content did not change significantly in the early stages but showed a significant dose-effect relationship in the late stages. Antioxidant enzymes were activated in most treatment groups, and catalase activity was the same as that in the control group at 28 d. GST activity showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing whereas MDA content had no obvious change in trend. 8-OHdG showed significant positive correlation with the concentration of triflumezopyrim at 28 d, indicating that the degree of DNA oxidative damage increased accordingly. The results showed that chronic exposure of triflumezopyrim may cause both oxidative stress and DNA damage in earthworms and alter the activity of antioxidant enzymes.

Abstract
Pyrethroid pesticides are applied to both agricultural and aquacultural industries for pest control. However, information of their impact on the commercial important freshwater crayfish, Procambarus clarkii is scarce. Therefore, the present study aimed to characterize to effects of a commonly used pyrethroid pesticide, deltamethrin on DNA damage, immune response, and neurotoxicity in P. clarkii. Animals were exposed to 7, 14, and 28 ng/L of deltamethrin, which correspond to 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 of the LC50 (96 hours) of this pyrethroid to P. clarkii. Significant increase of olive tail moment (OTM) and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was found after deltamethrin exposure in a dose-dependent way. Total hemocyte counts (THC) and activities of immune-related enzymes including acid phosphatase (ACP), lysozyme (LZM), and phenoloxidase (PO) were all decreased and significantly lower than control at concentration of 28 ng/L after 96 hours exposure. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, an indicator of neurotoxic effect was investigated and it was decreased significantly in muscles at 14 and 28 ng/L after 24 hours exposure. The level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in hemocytes was also measured and the significant increase of ROS was found at 14 and 28 ng/L concentrations. The results revealed that deltamethrin induced DNA damage, immunotoxicity, and neurotoxicity in P. clarkii by excessive generation of ROS. Because of the dose-dependent responses of all parameters under exposure of deltamethrin at environmentally realistic concentrations, these parameters could be used as sensitive biomarkers for risk assessment of deltamethrin in aquaculture area.

Abstract
The present study investigated the alleviating role of camel milk (CM) in the mitigation of fenpropathrin (FNP) type II pyrethroid induced oxidative stress, alterations of hepatic (CYP1A1) mRNA expression pattern, and DNA damage using the alkaline comet assay (SCGE) in male rats. Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were separated into six groups (n = 10): 1st control (C), 2nd corn oil (CO), 3rd (CM): gavaged CM 2ml/rat, 4th (FNP): gavaged FNP 7.09 mg/kg body weight (BW), 5th (FNP pro/co-treated): gavaged CM firstly for 15 days, then CM + FNP by the same mentioned doses and route, 6th (FNP + CM co-treated): gavaged FNP firstly followed by CM by the same mentioned doses and route. Rats were orally gavaged three times per week, day after day for 60 days. FNP exposure significantly reduced serum glutathione (GSH) levels, but significantly increased serum levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl (PCO), and 8hydroxy2deoxyguanosine (8OH2dG). Additionally, FNP exposure significantly up-regulated the mRNA expression levels of hepatic CYP1A1 and increased the SCGE indices in whole blood, liver, and spleen tissues of exposed male rats. Administration of CM significantly regulated the FNP induced oxidative stress, reduced hepatic CYP1A1 mRNA expression levels and values of comet assay indices particularly in the (CM + FNP pro/co-treated) group compared to the (FNP + CM co-treated) group. In conclusion, our results indicate, for the first time, that FNP retains an in vivo genotoxic potential at a dose of (1/10 LD50) and up-regulated hepatic CYP1A1 mRNA expression in male rats. Additionally, CM supplements may improve the genotoxic outcomes, oxidative stress, and altered CYP1A1 mRNA expression induced by FNP particularly in the pro/concurrent-treatment compared to the concurrent treatment alone.

Abstract
Isoniazid (INH) is among the most important anti-tuberculosis agents widely prescribed. However, its clinical use is restricted due to its severe side effects associated with neurotoxicity. The aim of the present study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of chrysin (CR), a natural antioxidant, against INH-induced neurotoxicity in rats. The rats were treated orally with INH (400 mg/kg body weight) alone or with CR (25 and 50 mg/kg body weight) for 7 consecutive days. INH administration significantly increased brain lipid peroxidation and resulted in a significant decrease in antioxidant biomarkers including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione (GSH). INH treatment also increased levels of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and activities of p38α mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38α MAPK) while decreasing levels of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM). Double immunofluorescence expressions of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) in brain tissues were increased after INH administration. Furthermore, INH increased mRNA expression levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (Gclm), glutamate cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (Gclc), NF-κB, TNF-α, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and GFAP in rat brain tissues. Co-treatment with CR increased anti-oxidant capacity as well as regulated inflammation and apoptosis in brain. Additionally, molecular docking results showed that CR had the potential to interact with the active sites of TNF-α and NFκ-B. In conclusion, CR improved INH-induced brain oxidative damage, inflammation and apoptosis, possibly through their antioxidant properties.

Abstract
Docetaxel (DTX) is a chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of various malignancies but is often associated with central and peripheral neurotoxicity. The aim of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effect of silymarin (SLM) against DTX-induced central and peripheral neurotoxicities in rats. Rats received 25 and 50 mg/kg body weight SLM orally for seven consecutive days after receiving a single injection of 30 mg/kg body weight DTX on the first day. SLM significantly decreased brain lipid peroxidation level and ameliorated brain glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities in DTX-administered rats. SLM attenuated levels of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and activity of p38α mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38α MAPK) whereas caused an increase in levels of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) in the brain and sciatic nerve of DTX-induced rats. In addition, SLM improved the histological structure of the brain and sciatic nerve tissues and decreased the expression of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) in the sciatic nerve whereas increased cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB) expression in the brain induced by DTX. Additionally, SLM markedly up-regulated the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and downregulated the expression of Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) in the brain and sciatic nerve tissues of DTX-induced rats. Our results show that SLM can protect DTX-induced brain and sciatic nerve injuries by enhancing the antioxidant defense system and suppressing apoptosis and inflammation.

Abstract
In the present study, the protective effects of quercetin on peripheral neurotoxicity caused by vincristine, which is used effectively in the treatment of various types of cancers, were investigated by using different techniques. In the study, for 12 days, male Sprague Dawley rats were given 25 and 50 mg/kg doses of quercetin orally and were administered a 0.1 mg/kg dose of vincristine (a total cumulative dose of 1.2 mg/kg) intraperitoneally 30 min later. The protein levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase-1 (NQO1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) were measured with ELISA; the immunopositivity of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and caspase 3 were determined with immunohistochemistry; the mRNA transcript levels of double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR)-like ER kinase (PERK), inositol-requiring enzyme-1 (IRE1), activating transcription factor-6 (ATF-6), glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), caspase 3, protein kinase B1/2 (Akt-1/2), and forkhead box transcription factor, class O1 (FOXO1) were determined with RT-PCR. The reduction of Nrf2 levels and HO-1 and NQO1 activities in the sciatic nerve tissue, the increase in the levels of 8-OHdG, and the increase in the levels of GFAP and NF-κB caused by vincristine was observed to cause oxidative stress, oxidative DNA damage, neuronal cell damage, and inflammation, respectively. Additionally, vincristine was determined to cause ER stress and apoptosis by increasing PERK, IRE1, ATF-6, and GRP78 and caspase 3 and Bax expressions and by decreasing Bcl-2 expressions. Vincristine causing Akt inhibition also shows that it prevents neuronal survival. However, quercetin was determined to relieve oxidative stress, oxidative DNA damage, neuronal cell damage, inflammation, ER stress, and apoptosis caused by vincristine and enable Akt activation. These results show that in rats, quercetin may have a protective effect against peripheral neurotoxicity caused by vincristine.

Abstract
Morin is a flavonoid and broadly found in white berry and cranberry branch. Ifosfamide (IFOS) is known as an anticancer and cytotoxic drug especially on the liver. This study aimed to explore the potential protective effects of Morin against IFOS-induced liver toxicity in rats. The model group of rats received a single injection of IFOS (500 mg/kg; i.p.) at day 2, whereas the protective groups of rats were given two different doses of Morin (100 and 200 mg/kg; given by gavage) at days 1 and 2. All animals were then culled 24 h post-IFOS injection. We observed that IFOS caused liver injury, oxidative stress, inflammation, DNA damage, and apoptosis. However, Morin decreased the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (p < 0.05). While Morin contributed to the recovery of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione (GSH) levels, Morin decreased the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) induced by IFOS in the liver (p < 0.05). Besides, the levels of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and P53 measured by ELISA test were reduced via Morin administration (p < 0.05). Lastly, the mRNA transcript levels of Bax, Apaf-1, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) determined by RT-PCR were down-regulated in the Morin groups (p < 0.05). These results indicate that Morin plays a protective role by reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in the IFOS-induced liver injury in rats.

AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2020; 225:105528. [PMID: 32569996 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2020.105528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2019] [Revised: 05/15/2020] [Accepted: 05/31/2020] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Abamectin (ABM) has been extensively used in Chinese aquaculture systems for parasite control, but no information is available regarding its effects on the important freshwater commercial fish species Schizothorax prenanti. We performed an acute toxicity test to determine the effects of ABM on S. prenanti, and the 48- and 96-h median lethal concentration values were 33.32 and 15.98 μg/L, respectively. In a second test, animals were exposed to sublethal concentrations of ABM (0.5, 2 or 8 μg/L) for 8 days, and various cytological and biochemical parameters were measured. ABM caused DNA damage in hepatocytes, with significant increases in Olive Tail Moment values and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine levels. Hepatocytic apoptosis occurred following all treatments, and was accompanied by an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and caspase activity in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In addition, there were significant decreases in glutathione peroxidase levels and superoxide dismutase and catalase activity and increases in malonaldehyde levels. ABM-induced hepatocytic apoptosis in S. prenanti was probably triggered by ROS generation following a cascade reaction of caspases in mitochondrial or death receptor pathways, which caused antioxidant inhibition, oxidative product accumulation, and DNA damage in the liver.

Abstract
Organophosphate and organochlorine pesticides are banned in most countries because they cause high toxicity and bioaccumulation in non-target organisms. Pyrethroid pesticides have been applied to agriculture and aquaculture since the 1970s to replace traditional pesticides. However, pyrethroids are approximately 1000 times more toxic to fish than to mammals and birds. Fish-specific organs such as the gills and their late metabolic action against this type of pesticide make fish highly susceptible to the toxicity of pyrethroid pesticides. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the neurological, reproductive, and developmental toxicity caused by pyrethroids. Deltamethrin, cypermethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin are representative pyrethroid pesticides that induce oxidative stress in tissues such as the gills, liver, and muscles of fish and cause histopathological changes. Although they are observed in low concentrations in aquatic environments such as rivers, lakes, and surface water they induce DNA damage and apoptosis in fish. Pyrethroid pesticides cause ROS-mediated oxidative stress in fish species including carp, tilapia, and trout. They also cause lipid peroxidation and alter the state of DNA, proteins, and lipids in the cells of fish. Moreover, changes in antioxidant enzyme activity following pyrethroid pesticide exposure make fish more susceptible to oxidative stress caused by environmental pollutants. In this review, we examine the occurrence of pyrethroid pesticides in the aquatic environment and oxidative stress-induced toxicity in fish exposed to pyrethroids.

Abstract
The fact that oxaliplatin (OXL), a platinum-based chemotherapeutic drug, causes severe neuropathy greatly limits its clinical use. This study investigated the effects of lycopene, a potent antioxidant, on OXL-induced central and peripheral neuropathy. In this study, 30 min after oral administration of LY at a dose of 2 mg/kg b.w./day and 4 mg/kg b.w./day on 1 st, 2nd, 4th and 5th days, rats were given 4 mg/kg b.w./day of OXL intraperitoneally. It was detected that LY decreased OXL-induced lipid peroxidation and increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and the levels of glutathione (GSH) in brain tissue. LY showed anti-inflammatory effects by decreasing levels of mitogen-activated protein kinase-14 (MAPK14), nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in brain and sciatic tissue. It was determined that OXL-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) decreased because LY administration reduced the expressions of activating transcription factor-6 (ATF6), glucose-regulated protein-78 (GRP78), RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR)-like ER kinase and inositol-requiring enzyme-1 (IRE1). LY administration also reduced the damage of OXL-induced brain and sciatic tissue by increasing NCAM levels and decreasing GFAP levels. It was determined that caspase-3 immunopositivity markedly decreased by OXL and LY in combination. It was also observed that LY provided neuronal protection by increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, which decreased with OXL administration in sciatic tissue. The results demonstrate that LY can be beneficial in ameliorating OXL-induced central and peripheral nerve injuries by showing antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties in the brain and sciatic tissue.

Abstract
The purpose of the current study was to examine the neuroprotective effect of rutin against colistin-induced neurotoxicity in rats. Thirty-five male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups. The control group (orally received physiological saline), the rutin group (orally administered 100 mg/kg body weight), the colistin group (i.p. administered 15 mg/kg body weight), the Col + Rut 50 group (i.p. administered 15 mg/kg body weight of colistin, and orally received 50 mg/kg body weight of rutin), the Col + Rut 100 group (i.p. administered 15 mg/kg body weight of colistin, and orally received 100 mg/kg body weight of rutin). Administration of colistin increased levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein and brain-derived neurotrophic factor and acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase activities while decreasing level of cyclic AMP response element binding protein and extracellular signal regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) expressions. Colistin increased oxidative impairments as evidenced by a decrease in level of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2), glutathione, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase activities, and increased malondialdehyde content. Colistin also increased the levels of the apoptotic and inflammatoric parameters such as cysteine aspartate specific protease-3 (caspase-3), p53, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). Rutin treatment restored the brain function by attenuating colistin-induced oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, histopathological and immunohistochemical alteration suggesting that rutin supplementation mitigated colistin-induced neurotoxicity in male rats.

Abstract
Deltamethrin (DM) is a widely used insecticide and reveals neural, cardiovascular and reproductive toxicity to various aquatic organisms. It has been known that DM negatively affects motion of zebrafish (Danio rerio). However, little is known in relation to the impacts of DM on development of swim bladder, which is a key organ for motion. In the present study, zebrafish embryos were exposed to 20 and 40 µg/L DM. The changes of swim bladder morphology were observed and transcription levels of key genes were compared between DM treatments and the control. The results showed that DM treatments significantly blocked the formation of progenitor and tissue layers in swim bladder of zebrafish embryos, leading to failed inflation of swim bladder. Compared with the control, the key genes (pbx1, foxA3, mnx1, has2, anxa5b, hprt1l and elovl1a) responsible for swim bladder development also showed decreased levels in response to DM treatments, suggesting that DM might specifically affect swim bladder development. Moreover, transcription levels of genes in the Wnt (wnt5b, tcf3a, wnt1, wnt9b, fzd1, fzd3 and fzd5) and Hedgehog (ihhb, ptc1 and ptc2) signaling pathways all decreased significantly in response to DM treatments, compared with the control. Considering the importance of Wnt and Hedgehog pathways in development of swim bladder, these results suggested that DM might affect swim bladder development through inhibiting the Wnt and Hedgehog pathways. Overall, the present study reported that swim bladder might be a potential target organ of DM toxicity in zebrafish, which contributed more information to the evaluation of DM's environmental risks.

Abstract
The levels of the chlorinated organic compound Dechlorane Plus (DP) are increasing in aquatic ecosystems. To investigate the adverse effects of DP on aquatic animals, common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were subjected to three different DP concentrations (30 μg L-1, 60 μg L-1, and 120 μg L-1) for 1 d, 15 d, and 30 d. Histology and the hepatic and cerebral expression levels of several key antioxidant, detoxification, and apoptotic factors were then examined. Histopathological inspections showed that the liver and brain were severely damaged in carp exposed to 60 μg L-1 and 120 μg L-1 DP. Relative to the controls, the superoxide dismutase and glutathione activity levels and the malondialdehyde content were also changed in livers and brains exposed to DP. Besides, significant alterations in the expression levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10 were observed in the livers of carp subjected to DP. Relative to the control, the brains of DP-exposed carp presented with significantly upregulated IL-1β and IL-6 in carp treated with 120 μg L-1 DP for 30 d. The transcription levels of hepatic cyp2b4, cyp1b1, and cyp3a138 were all increased compared with the untreated at all DP exposure concentrations. The aforementioned results suggest that DP exposure perturbs fish metabolism and causes liver injury by inhibiting antioxidant enzyme activity, increasing lipid peroxidation, promoting inflammation, and inducing cell apoptosis. This information and the analytical methodology used to acquire it may form the basis for future ecological risk assessments on DP and related xenobiotics in aquatic animals.

Abstract
Deltamethrin (DMN) exposure causes severe damage to the gill and liver tissues of aquatic organisms, as well as neurotoxic effects and metabolic disorders. The goal of the present study was to assess the impacts of DMN toxicity on blood biochemistry, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, catalase (CAT) levels, behavior disorder, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, histopathology and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8 OHdG) of brown trout (Salmo trutta fario). Acute concentrations (1.0 and 2.0μg/L) of DMN caused behavioral disorder such as rapid swimming, loss of balance, aggressiveness and increasing in the surface activity and inactivity in brown trout. A significant increase in malondialdehyde (MDA), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, and a significant decrease in CAT, AChE, blood albumin, and blood total protein content were observed. Histopathologically, both doses of DMN have caused steatosis, necrosis, and degeneration in hepatocytes and hyperemia in the liver. Also, they led to inflammation, adhesion and fusion depending on severe hyperplasia in secondary lamellae, hyperemia and lamellar edema in gill tissues when compared to control group. Additionally, 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8 OHdG) levels at 2.0 μg/L dose of DMN in liver tissues were more severe according to 1.0 μg/L dose of DMN. Finally, different concentrations of DMN led to changes of the histopathology, 8OHdG, the CAT levels, plasma AChE activity, and the serum metabolites, as well as behavioral disorder in brown trout.

Abstract
Sucralose (SUC) is an organochlorine that is used as a common sweetener in different dietary products around the world. Its extended use and production have led to this product is released into the environment in concentrations ranging from ng L-1 to μg L-1 in surface waters, groundwaters, wastewater treatment plants and ocean waters. A previous study carried out by our research team demonstrated that SUC is capable of inducing oxidative stress in Cyprinus carpio at environmentally-relevant concentrations. The aim of this study was to evaluate if SUC was capable of inducing alterations to DNA, apoptosis, and oxidative damage in the blood cells of C. carpio. Carps were exposed to two environmentally-relevant concentrations (0.05 and 155 μg L-1) of SUC, and the following biomarkers were determined: comet assay, micronucleus test (MN), caspase-3 activity, TUNEL assay, hydroperoxide content, lipid peroxidation level, protein carbonyl content and superoxide dismutase and catalase activities. Results obtained showed that SUC is capable of inducing DNA damage. A maximum increase of 35% and 23% were observed for c1 and c2, respectively in the comet assay; increases of 586% and 507.7% for c1 and c2, respectively, were found at 72 h through the MN test. The activity of caspase-3 showed a greater response for c1 and c2 at 96 h, with 271% and 493.5%, respectively. TUNEL assay also showed the highest response at 96 h, with 51.8 for c1 and 72.9 for c2; c1 y c2 were able to induce oxidative stress with the highest expression at 72 h. A correlation between DNA damage biomarkers, apoptosis and plasma levels of SUC in both concentrations were observed. With the data obtained, we can conclude that SUC, at environmentally-relevant concentrations, was capable of generating DNA alterations, apoptosis and oxidative stress in blood cells in common carp.

Abstract
Ifosfamide (IFA), a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug, has been frequently associated with encephalopathy and central nervous system toxicity. The present study aims to investigate whether morin could protect against acute IFA-induced neurotoxicity. Morin was administered to male rats once daily for 2 consecutive days at doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight (BW) orally. IFA (500 mg/kg BW; i.p.) was administered on second day. The results showed that morin markedly inhibited the production of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butrylcholinesterase (BChE), carbonic anhydrase (CA), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) induced by IFA. Morin ameliorated IFA-induced lipid peroxidation, glutathione (GSH) depletion, and decrease antioxidant enzyme activities, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Histopathological changes and immunohistochemical expressions of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and c-Fos in the IFA-induced brain tissues were decreased after administration of morin. Furthermore, morin was able to down regulate the levels of inflammatory and apoptotic markers such as nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), p53, cysteine aspartate specific protease-3 (caspase-3) and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2). Taken together, our results demonstrated that morin elicited a typical chemoprotective effect on IFA-induced acute neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Deltamethrin is widely used worldwide due to its valuable insecticidal activity against pests and parasites. Increasing evidence has shown that deltamethrin causes varying degrees of toxicity. Moreover, oxidative stress and metabolism are highly correlated with toxicity. For the first time, this review systematically summarizes the deltamethrin toxicity mechanism from the perspective of oxidative stress, including deltamethrin-mediated oxidative damage, antioxidant status, oxidative signaling pathways and modulatory effects of antagonists, synergists and placebos on oxidative stress. Further, deltamethrin metabolism, including metabolites, metabolic enzymes and pathways and deltamethrin metabolite toxicity are discussed. This review will shed new light on deltamethrin toxicity mechanisms and provide effective strategies to ensure pest control and prevention of human and animal poisoning.

Abstract
Deltamethrin (DLM) is α-cyano (type II) synthetic pyrethroid. DLM exposure leads to strong neurotoxic effects and a number of complex toxicological syndromes. The current study assessed DLM mediated oxidative stress, behavioral, hematological, histopathological, and biochemical toxic effects on silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). Exposure to an acute concentration (2 μg/L) of DLM resulted in different behavioral inconsistencies and a time-dependent significant (P < 0.05) change in the hematology and serum biochemistry of silver carp. A significant (P < 0.05) increase in the activities of reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant enzymes whereas a significant decrease in total protein contents in the liver, gills, brain, and muscle tissues were observed. DLM exposure increased the activities of metabolic enzymes in the gills, muscles, and liver of silver carp. A significant (P < 0.05) increase in DNA damage in peripheral blood erythrocytes was evident. DLM exposure led to a time-dependent significant (P < 0.05) increase in the whole-body cortisol and blood glucose level, while a significant decrease in acetylcholine esterase activity in the brain, liver, and muscle tissues. Different histopathological changes in the liver, gills, brain, and intestine were observed, however, no significant change in the gross anatomy and morphometric parameters of the fish was observed. The current study provides valuable information for devising better strategies regarding environmental management, chemicals' risk assessment, biodiversity conservation, and monitoring of the aquatic organisms. DLM was concluded to be highly toxic to fish. The extensive use of DLM should be prohibited or allowed under strict environmental laws; otherwise, it might lead to the extermination of the susceptible wildlife, such as commercially very valuable but nearly threatened silver carp.
