Wu D, Su Y, Hu G, Lin X. Bisphenol A and selenium deficiency exposure induces pyroptosis and myogenic differentiation disorder in chicken muscle stomach. Poult Sci 2024; 103:103641. [PMID: 38626692 PMCID: PMC11036099 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.103641] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), which is commonly found in the environment due to its release from the use of plastics and food overpacks, has become a major stressor for environmental sustainability and livestock and poultry farming health. Selenium (Se) deficiency causes structural damage and inflammatory responses to the digestive system and muscle tissue, and there is a potential for concurrent space-time exposure to nutritional deficiency diseases and environmental toxicants in livestock and poultry. The mechanisms of damage to chicken muscular stomach from BPA or/and Se deficiency treatment are still not known. Here, we established a chicken model of BPA (20 mg/kg) or/and Se deficiency (0.039 mg/kg) exposure, and detected histopathological changes in the muscular stomach tissue, the levels of iNOS/NO pathway, IL-6/JAK/STAT3 pathway, pyroptosis, and myogenic differentiation by H&E staining, immunofluorescence staining, real-time quantitative PCR, and western blot methods. The data revealed that BPA or Se deficiency exposure caused gaps between muscle fibers with inflammatory cell infiltration; up-regulation of the iNOS/NO pathway and IL-6/JAK/STAT3 pathway; up-regulation of NLRP3/Caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis related genes; down-regulation of muscle-forming differentiation (MyoD, MyoG, and MyHC) genes. The combination of BPA and Se deficiency was associated with higher toxic impairment than alone exposure. In conclusion, we discovered that BPA and Se deficiency caused myogastric pyroptosis and myogenic differentiation disorder. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the co-occurrence of animal nutritional deficiency diseases and environmental toxicant exposures in livestock and poultry farming, and may provide important insights into limiting the production of harmful substances.

Abstract
A novel Lentinus edodes mycelia polysaccharide (LMP) prepared in our laboratory has been identified to be effective in inhibiting the damage of islet β cells induced by glucose toxicity. However, whether it can effectively alleviate the pyroptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by advanced glycation end products (AGEs) remains unclear. Bioinformatics and cell biology techniques were used to explore the mechanism of LMP inhibiting AGEs-induced HUVECs damage. The results indicated that AGEs significantly increased the expression of LncRNA MALAT1, decreased cell viability to 79.67 %, increased intracellular ROS level to 248.19 % compared with the control group, which further led to cell membrane rupture. The release of LDH in cellular supernatant was increased to 149.42 %, and the rate of propidium iodide staining positive cells increased to 277.19 %, indicating the cell pyroptosis occurred. However, the above trend was effectively retrieved after the treatment with LMP. LMP effectively decreased the expression of LncRNA MALAT1 and mTOR, promoted the expression of miR-199b, inhibited AGEs-induced HUVECs pyroptosis by regulating the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD pathway. LncRNA MALAT1 might be a new target for LMP to inhibit AGEs-induced HUVECs pyroptosis. This study manifested the role of LMP in improving diabetes angiopathy and broadens the application of polysaccharide.

Abstract
Bisphenol-A (BPA), a pervasive industrial chemical used in polymer synthesis, is found in numerous consumer products including food packaging, medical devices, and resins. Detectable in a majority of the global population, BPA exposure occurs via ingestion, inhalation, and dermal routes. Extensive research has demonstrated the adverse health effects of BPA, particularly its disruption of immune and endocrine systems, along with genotoxic potential. This review focuses on the complex relationship between BPA exposure and the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, a multiprotein complex central to inflammatory disease processes. We examine how BPA induces oxidative stress through the generation of intracellular free radicals, subsequently activating NLRP3 signaling. The mechanistic details of this process are explored, including the involvement of signaling cascades such as PI3K/AKT, JAK/STAT, AMPK/mTOR, and ERK/MAPK, which are implicated in NLRP3 inflammasome activation. A key focus of this review is the wide-ranging organ toxicities associated with BPA exposure, including hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular dysfunction. We investigate the immunopathogenesis and molecular pathways driving these injuries, highlighting the interplay among BPA, oxidative stress, and the NLRP3 inflammasome. Finally, this review explores the emerging concept of targeting NLRP3 as a potential therapeutic strategy to mitigate the organ toxicities stemming from BPA exposure. This work integrates current knowledge, emphasizes complex molecular mechanisms, and promotes further research into NLRP3-targeted interventions.

The association between prenatal bisphenol F exposure and infant neurodevelopment: The mediating role of placental estradiol. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 271:116009. [PMID: 38277971 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116009] [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: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited population studies on the neurodevelopmental effects of bisphenol F (BPF), a substitute for bisphenol A. Furthermore, the role of placental estradiol as a potential mediator linking these two factors remains unclear. OBJECTIVE To examine the association between maternal prenatal BPF exposure and infant neurodevelopment in a prospective cohort study and to explore the mediating effects of placental estradiol between BPF exposure and neurodevelopment in a nested case-control study. METHODS The prospective cohort study included 1077 mother-neonate pairs from the Wuhu city cohort study in China. Maternal BPF was determined using the liquid/liquid extraction and Ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method. Children's neurodevelopment was assessed at ages 3, 6, and 12 months using Ages and Stages Questionnaires. The nested case-control study included 150 neurodevelopmental delay cases and 150 healthy controls. Placental estradiol levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Generalized estimating equation models and robust Poisson regression models were used to examine the associations between BPF exposure and children's neurodevelopment. In the nested case-control study, causal mediation analysis was conducted to assess the role of placental estradiol as a mediator in multivariate models. RESULTS In the prospective cohort study, the pregnancy-average BPF concentration was positively associated with developmental delays in gross-motor, fine-motor, and problem-solving ( ORtotal ASQ: 1.14(1.05, 1.25), ORgross-motor: 1.22(1.10, 1.36), ORfine-motor: 1.19(1.07, 1.31), ORproblem-solving: 1.11(1.01, 1.23)). After sex-stratified analyses, pregnancy-average BPF concentration was associated with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental delays in the gross-motor (ORgross-motor:1.30(1.12, 1.51)) and fine-motor (ORfine-motor: 1.22(1.06, 1.40)) domains in boys. In the nested case-control study, placental estradiol mediated 16.6% (95%CI: 4.4%, 35.0%) of the effects of prenatal BPF exposure on developmental delay. CONCLUSIONS Our study supports an inverse relationship between prenatal BPF exposure and child neurodevelopment in infancy, particularly in boys. Decreased placental estradiol may be an underlying biological pathway linking prenatal BPF exposure to neurodevelopmental delay in offspring.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) and one of the most produced synthetic compounds worldwide. BPA can be found in epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics, which are frequently used in food storage and baby bottles. However, BPA can bind mainly to estrogen receptors, interfering with various neurologic functions, its use is a topic of significant concern. Nonetheless, the neurotoxicity of BPA has not been fully understood despite numerous investigations on its disruptive effects. Therefore, this review aims to highlight the most recent studies on the implications of BPA on the neurologic system. Our findings suggest that BPA exposure impairs various structural and molecular brain changes, promoting oxidative stress, changing expression levels of several crucial genes and proteins, destructive effects on neurotransmitters, excitotoxicity and neuroinflammation, damaged blood-brain barrier function, neuronal damage, apoptosis effects, disruption of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis, increase in reactive oxygen species, promoted apoptosis and intracellular lactate dehydrogenase release, a decrease of axon length, microglial DNA damage, astrogliosis, and significantly reduced myelination. Moreover, BPA exposure increases the risk of developing neurologic diseases, including neurovascular (e.g. stroke) and neurodegenerative (e.g. Alzheimer's and Parkinson's) diseases. Furthermore, epidemiological studies showed that the adverse effects of BPA on neurodevelopment in children contributed to the emergence of serious neurological diseases like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), depression, emotional problems, anxiety, and cognitive disorders. In summary, BPA exposure compromises human health, promoting the development and progression of neurologic disorders. More research is required to fully understand how BPA-induced neurotoxicity affects human health.

Abstract
The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is an important part of the natural immune system that plays an important role in many diseases. Estrogen is a sex hormone that plays an important role in controlling reproduction and regulates many physiological and pathological processes. Recent studies have indicated that estrogen is associated with disease progression. Estrogen can ameliorate some diseases (e. g, sepsis, mood disturbances, cerebral ischemia, some hepatopathy, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, osteoarthritis, and renal fibrosis) by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome. Estrogen can also promote the development of diseases (e.g., ovarian endometriosis, dry eye disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus) by upregulating the NLRP3 inflammasome. In addition, estrogen has a dual effect on the development of cancers and asthma. However, the mechanism of these effects is not summarized. This article reviewed the progress in understanding the effects of estrogen on the NLRP3 inflammasome and its mechanisms in recent years to provide a theoretical basis for an in-depth study.

Abstract
Bisphenols (BPs) can negatively affect neurobehaviors in rats, whereas the mechanism remains unclear. Here, the mechanism of BPs-induced neurodevelopmental toxicity and its effective detoxification measures were investigated in vitro and in vivo. In in vitro experiments, primary hippocampal neurons from neonatal rats of different genders were treated with bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol B (BPB) at 1 nM-100 μM, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and G15, an antagonist of G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) for 7 d. Results indicated that BPs affected neuronal morphogenesis, impaired GABA synthesis and Glu/GABA homeostasis. Neuronal morphogenetic damage induced by low-doses BPA may be mediated by GPER. Neurotoxicity of BPS is weaker than BPA and BPB. In in vivo studies, exposure to BPA (0.5 μg/kg·bw/day) on PND 10-40 caused oxidative stress and inflammation in rat hippocampus, disrupted neuronal morphogenesis and neurotransmitter homeostasis, ultimately impaired spatial memory of rats. Males are more sensitive to BPA exposure than females. Both in vivo and in vitro studies indicated that EGCG, a phytoestrogen, can alleviate BPA-induced neurotoxicity. Taken together, low-doses BPA exposure sex-specifically disrupted neurodevelopment and further impaired learning and memory ability in rats, which may be mediated by GPER. Promisingly, EGCG effectively mitigated the BPA-induced neurodevelopmental toxicity.

Abstract
Pesticide mixtures can reduce pest resistance, however, their overuse severely threatens aquatic animal survival and public health. Avermectin (AVM) and imidacloprid (IMI) are potent insecticides often employed in agriculture. By inducing oxidative stress, these chemicals can induce cell death. Here, we evaluated the combined toxicity of AVM and IMI on EPC cells based on the concept of toxicity units (TU). We established EPC cell models exposed to AVM and IMI alone and in combination. The results showed that AVM and IMI had additive effects on the toxicity of EPC cells. Meanwhile, the co-exposure of AVM and IMI exacerbated oxidative stress and induced excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), triggered Keap1/Nrf2/TXNIP axis, caused DNA damage and increased the expression of genes related to pyroptosis. In addition, co-exposure to AVM and IMI caused immunosuppression of EPC cells. The ROS inhibitor N-Acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) can dramatically reverse these alterations brought on by AVM and IMI co-exposure. The findings above conclude that co-exposure to AVM and IMI causes DNA damage, pyroptosis, and immunosuppression in EPC cells through the ROS-mediated Keap1/Nrf2/TXNIP pathway. This study revealed the joint toxicity of AVM and IMI on EPC cells, and reminded people to consider its impact on aquatic animals when using pesticide mixtures.

Abstract
Both bisphenol A (BPA) and selenium (Se) deficiency can affect the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs), which can specifically regulate its target mRNA and induce apoptosis, and play a significant role in cardiovascular injury diseases. To explore the mechanism of apoptosis induced by BPA and Se deficiency in chicken arterial endothelial tissue and the role of miRNAs in this process, the model of BPA exposure/Se deficiency in chicken and PAEC cells have been employed. The targeting relationship between miR-215-3p and iodothyronine deiodinase 1 (Dio1) in PAEC was verified by double luciferase gene report. The level of miR-215-3p was detected by qRT-PCR. The oxidative stress level of arterial endothelial cells was detected by oxidative stress kit and DCFH-DA probe method. The PI3K/AKT pathway, mitochondrial dynamics, and apoptosis-related genes were detected by qRT-PCR and western blot. The mitochondrial ATP level and nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) level were detected with the kit. TUNEL, acridine orange/ethidium bromide, and flow cytometry were used to detect the level of apoptosis. The results showed that BPA exposure and Se deficiency led to overexpression of miR-215-3p, aggravated oxidative stress, inhibited activation of PI3K/AKT pathway, promoted mitochondrial division, increased expression of apoptosis related genes, and finally led to apoptosis of chicken arterial endothelial cells. We also established knockdown/overexpression models of miR-215-3p and Dio1 in vitro, and found that overexpression of miR-215-3p and knockout of Dio1 can induce apoptosis. Interestingly, miR-215-3p-Inhibitor and N-acetyl- l-cysteine (NAC) partially prevented apoptosis caused by BPA exposure and Se deficiency, and LY294002 aggravated apoptosis. These results suggest that BPA exposure aggravates the apoptosis of Se deficient arterial endothelial cells in chickens by regulating the ROS/PI3K/AKT pathway activated by miR-215-3p/Dio1. The miR-215-3p/Dio1 axis provides a new way to understand the toxic mechanism of BPA exposure and Se deficiency, and reveals a new regulatory model of apoptosis damage in vascular diseases.

Abstract
Pyroptosis, also known as cellular inflammatory necrosis, is a programmed cell death mediated by the Gasdermin family of proteins. The mechanisms by which pyroptosis occurs are divided into the GSDMD-mediated Caspase-1 and Caspase-4/-5/-11-dependent classical inflammatory vesicle pathway and the GSDME-mediated Caspase-3 and granzyme-dependent non-classical inflammatory vesicle pathways, among others. Recent studies have shown that pyroptosis has both inhibitory and promotive effects on tumor development. Pyroptosis induction also plays a dual role in antitumor immunotherapy: on the one hand, it suppresses antitumor immunity by promoting the release of inflammatory factors, and on the other hand, it inhibits tumor cell proliferation by triggering antitumor inflammatory responses. In addition, cell scorching plays an essential role in chemotherapy. It has been found that natural drugs modulating the induction of cell scorch are necessary to treat tumors. Therefore, studying the specific mechanisms of cell pyroptosis in different tumors can provide more ideas for developing oncology drugs. In this paper, we review the molecular mechanisms of pyroptosis and the role of pyroptosis in tumor development and treatment to provide new targets for clinical tumor treatment, prognosis, and antitumor drug development.

[PMID: 36502987 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.160762] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Revised: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
To rapidly assess the toxicity of bisphenols (BPs) via the activation of G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), eight BPs action on GPER were evaluated by molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and then confirmed with IMR-32 cells. The target BPs significantly promoted the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reduced cell viability, activated the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and increased the apoptosis rate of IMR-32 cells. Intracellular Ca2+ level increased significantly after the treatments with bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol E (BPE), bisphenol C (BPC) and bisphenol AP (BPAP), suggesting the activation of GPER. Moreover, the stable binding conformations between GPER and BPA, BPE, BPC and BPAP and their dynamic changes of GPER-BPs via MD simulation also suggest that these BPs may activate GPER. The interaction between bisphenol G/bisphenol P/bisphenol PH and GPER are weak, which is consistent with their low GPER activity in vitro. Notably, after the pretreatment of GPER antagonist, Ca2+ accumulation and ROS production induced by BPA, BPE, BPC and BPAP in IMR-32 cells were attenuated. Overall, MD simulation and in vitro results mutually verified the activation of GPER by BPs, and MD simulation can rapidly evaluate the neurocytotoxicity of BPs.

Oxidative Stress and Pyroptosis in Doxorubicin-Induced Heart Failure and Atrial Fibrillation. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2023; 2023:4938287. [PMID: 36733418 PMCID: PMC9889148 DOI: 10.1155/2023/4938287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2022] [Revised: 10/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
Patients undergoing doxorubicin (Dox) chemotherapy often develop new-onset atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Recent studies indicate that the TLR4/MyD88/NLRP3 pyroptosis signaling pathway plays a key role in the occurrence and development of cancer, heart failure, and atherosclerosis. However, few studies investigated the role of oxidative stress and pyroptosis in doxorubicin-induced heart failure and new-onset atrial fibrillation. In this study, we recruited 84 healthy subjects, 112 patients undergoing Dox chemotherapy showing heart failure (HF), and 62 patients undergoing Dox treatment who manifested atrial fibrillation (AF). The mRNA and protein levels of TLR4 expression, several downstream pyroptosis-associated proteins (cleaved caspase-1, NLRP3, GSDMD-N, and HMGB-1), serum inflammatory factors, and oxidative stress were detected at the beginning of chemotherapy and after 3 months of Dox chemotherapy. Oxidative stress and downstream pyroptosis-associated proteins tended to increase in the Dox-baseline group to the Dox-HF group. However, virtually no change in the expression of either oxidative stress or pyroptosis-associated proteins was detected in patients after three months of Dox chemotherapy compared with those at baseline. This study suggests that the prolonged oxidative stress and high levels of pyroptosis-associated proteins contribute to cardiac systolic dysfunction, suggesting TLR4 as a novel biomarker and a potential treatment target for doxorubicin-induced heart failure.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a programmed cell death characterized by swift plasma membrane disruption and subsequent release of cellular contents and pro-inflammatory mediators (cytokines), including IL‐1β and IL‐18. It differs from other types of programmed cell death such as apoptosis, autophagy, necroptosis, ferroptosis, and NETosis in terms of its morphology and mechanism. As a recently discovered form of cell death, pyroptosis has been demonstrated to be involved in the progression of multiple diseases. Recent studies have also suggested that pyroptosis is linked to various ocular diseases. In this review, we systematically summarized and discussed recent scientific discoveries of the involvement of pyroptosis in common ocular diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, AIDS-related human cytomegalovirus retinitis, glaucoma, dry eye disease, keratitis, uveitis, and cataract. We also organized new and emerging evidence suggesting that pyroptosis signaling pathways may be potential therapeutic targets in ocular diseases, hoping to provide a summary of overall intervention strategies and relevant multi-dimensional evaluations for various ocular diseases, as well as offer valuable ideas for further research and development from the perspective of pyroptosis.
