Sampling, composition, and biological effects of Mexico City airborne particulate matter from multiple periods. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 926:171933. [PMID: 38522535 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171933] [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: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
Air pollution is a worldwide environmental problem with an impact on human health. Particulate matter of ten micrometers or less aerodynamic diameter (PM10) as well as its fine fraction (PM2.5) is related to multiple pulmonary diseases. The impact of air pollution in Mexico City, and importantly, particulate matter has been studied and considered as a risk factor for two decades ago. Previous studies have reported the composition of Mexico City particulate matter, as well as the biological effects induced by this material. However, material collected and used in previous studies is a limited resource, and sampling and particle recovery techniques have been improved. In this study, we describe the methods used in our laboratory for Mexico City airborne particulate matter PM10 and PM2.5 sampling, considering the years 2017, 2018 and 2019. We also analyzed the PM10 and PM2.5 samples obtained to determine their composition. Finally, we exposed lung cell line cultures to PM10 and PM2.5 to evaluate the biological effect of the material in terms of cell viability, cell death, inflammatory response, and cytogenetic alterations. Our results showed that PM10 composition includes inorganic, organic and biological compounds, while PM2.5 is a mixture of more enriched organic compounds. PM10 and PM2.5 treatment in lung cells does not significantly impact cell viability/cell death. However, PM10 and PM2.5 increase the secretion levels of IL-6. Moreover, PM10 as well as PM2.5 induce cytogenetic alterations, such as micronuclei, anaphase bridges, trinucleated cells and apoptotic cells in lung cells. Our results update the evidence of the composition and biological effects of Mexico City particulate matter and provide us a reliable basis for future approaches.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 459:132238.

Abstract
Particulate matter (PM), a major component of outdoor air pollution, damages DNA and increases the risk of cancer. Although the harmful effects of PM at the genomic level are known, the detailed mechanism by which PM affects chromosomal stability remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the novel effects of PM on mitotic progression and identified the underlying mechanisms. Gene set enrichment analysis of lung cancer patients residing in countries with high PM concentrations revealed the downregulation of genes associated with mitosis and mitotic structures. We also showed that exposure of lung cancer cells in vitro to urban dust particles (UDPs) inhibits cell proliferation through a prolonged M phase. The mitotic spindles in UDP-treated cells were hyperstabilized, and the number of centrioles increased. The rate of ingression of the cleavage furrow and actin clearance from the polar cortex was reduced significantly. The defects in mitotic progression were attributed to inactivation of Aurora B at kinetochore during early mitosis, and spindle midzone and midbody during late mitosis. While previous studies demonstrated possible links between PM and mitosis, they did not specifically identify the dysregulation of spatiotemporal dynamics of mitotic proteins and structures (e.g., microtubules, centrosomes, cleavage furrow, and equatorial and polar cortex), which results in the accumulation of chromosomal instability, ultimately contributing to carcinogenicity. The data highlight the novel scientific problem of PM-induced mitotic disruption. Additionally, we introduce a practical visual method for assessing the genotoxic outcomes of airborne pollutants, which has implications for future environmental and public health research.

JOURNAL OF TOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. PART B, CRITICAL REVIEWS 2023; 26:172-199.

Abstract
This review examined the mutagenicity and genotoxicity associated with exposure to outdoor air pollutants in Brazil. A search was performed on the Web of Science database using a combination of keywords that resulted in 134 articles. After applying exclusion criteria, a total of 75 articles were obtained. The articles were classified into three categories: (1) studies with plants and animals, (2) in vitro studies, and (3) human biomonitoring. The investigations were conducted in 11 of 27 Brazilian states with the highest prevalence in the southeast and south regions. Only 5 investigations focused on the effects of burning biomass on the quality of outdoor air. Plants, especially Tradescantia pallida, were the main air pollution biomonitoring tool. When available, a significant association between levels of air pollutants and genetic damage was described. Among the in vitro studies, Salmonella/microsome is the most used test to evaluate mutagenesis of outdoor air in Brazil (n = 26). Human biomonitoring studies were the least frequent category (n = 18). Most of the investigations utilized micronucleus bioassay, in oral mucosa cells (n = 15) and lymphocytes (n = 5), and the comet assay (n = 6). The analysis in this study points to the existence of gaps in genotoxicity studies and our findings indicate that future studies need to address the variety of potential sources of pollution existing in Brazil. In addition to extent of the impacts, consideration should be given to the enormous Brazilian biodiversity, as well as the determination of the role of socioeconomic inequality of the population in the observed outcomes.

Abstract
Although a large part of the genome is transcribed, only 1.9% has a protein-coding potential; most of the transcripts are non-coding RNAs such as snRNAs, tRNAs, and rRNAs that participate in mRNA processing and translation. In addition, there are small RNAs with a regulatory role, such as siRNAs, miRNAs, and piRNAs. Finally, the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts of more than 200 bp that can positively and negatively regulate gene expression (both in cis and trans), serve as a scaffold for protein recruitment, and control nuclear architecture, among other functions. An essential process regulated by lncRNAs is genome stability. LncRNAs regulate genes associated with DNA repair and chromosome segregation; they are also directly involved in the maintenance of telomeres and have recently been associated with the activity of the centromeres. In cancer, many alterations in lncRNAs have been found to promote genomic instability, which is a hallmark of cancer and is associated with resistance to chemotherapy. In this review, we analyze the most recent findings of lncRNA alterations in cancer, their relevance in genomic instability, and their impact on the resistance of tumor cells to anticancer therapy.

Particulate matter (PM 10) destabilizes mitotic spindle through downregulation of SETD2 in A549 lung cancer cells. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 295:133900. [PMID: 35134396 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.133900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2021] [Revised: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Air pollution represents an environmental problem, impacting negatively in human health. Particulate matter of 10 μm or less in diameter (PM10) is related to pulmonary diseases, including lung cancer. Mitotic spindle is made up by chromosome-microtubule (MT) interactions, where SETD2 plays an important role in MT stability. SETD2 binds and activates α-TUBULIN sub-unit and promotes MT polymerization. Alongside this mechanism, the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) senses the adequate mitotic progression through proteins such as BUBR1, AURORA B and SURVIVIN. Alterations in MT dynamics as well as in SAC cause aneuploidy and chromosomal instability, a common phenotype in cancer cells. In this study, we evaluated the effect of PM10 in the expression and protein levels of SETD2, as well as the effect in the expression and protein levels of SAC and mitotic components involved in chromosomal segregation/mitosis, using the A549 lung cancer cell line. A549 cell cultures were exposed to PM10 (10 μg/cm2) for 24 h to evaluate the expression and protein levels of SETD2 (SETD2), TUBA1A (α-TUBULIN), CCNB1 (CYCLIN B1), BUB1B (BUBR1), AURKB (AURORA B) and BIRC5 (SURVIVIN). We observed that PM10 decreases the expression and protein levels of SETD2, α-TUBULIN and BUBR1 and increases the levels of AURORA B and SURVIVIN in A549 cells, compared with non-treated cells. PM10 also caused a decrease in mitotic index and in the percentage of cells in G2/M when compared with control group. Co-localization of SETD2/α -TUB was lower in PM10-treated cells in comparison with non-treated cells. Finally, micronuclei (MN) frequency was higher in PM10-treated cells in contrast with non-treated cells, being whole chromosomes more common in PM10-treated MN than in non-treated MN. Our results suggest that PM10 causes missegregation and aneuploidy through downregulation of SETD2 and SAC components, inducing aneuploidy and predisposing to the generation of chromosomal instability in transformed cells.

Nucleotide Excision Repair Pathway Activity Is Inhibited by Airborne Particulate Matter (PM10) through XPA Deregulation in Lung Epithelial Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23042224. [PMID: 35216341 PMCID: PMC8878008 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23042224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Revised: 02/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Airborne particulate matter with a diameter size of ≤10 µm (PM10) is a carcinogen that contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), which form PAH–DNA adducts. However, the way in which these adducts are managed by DNA repair pathways in cells exposed to PM10 has been partially described. We evaluated the effect of PM10 on nucleotide excision repair (NER) activity and on the levels of different proteins of this pathway that eliminate bulky DNA adducts. Our results showed that human lung epithelial cells (A549) exposed to 10 µg/cm2 of PM10 exhibited PAH–DNA adducts as well as an increase in RAD23 and XPD protein levels (first responders in NER). In addition, PM10 increased the levels of H4K20me2, a recruitment signal for XPA. However, we observed a decrease in total and phosphorylated XPA (Ser196) and an increase in phosphatase WIP1, aside from the absence of XPA–RPA complex, which participates in DNA-damage removal. Additionally, an NER activity assay demonstrated inhibition of the NER functionality in cells exposed to PM10, indicating that XPA alterations led to deficiencies in DNA repair. These results demonstrate that PM10 exposure induces an accumulation of DNA damage that is associated with NER inhibition, highlighting the role of PM10 as an important contributor to lung cancer.

Abstract
Particulate Matter (PM) is an air pollutant that is classified according to its aerodynamic diameter into particles with a diameter of less than 10 µm (PM10), a diameter of less than 2.5 µm (PM2.5), and particles ultra-fine with a diameter less than 0.1 µm (PM0.1). PM10 is housed in the respiratory system, while PM2.5 and 0.1 can pass into the circulation to generate systemic alterations. Although several diseases associated with PM exposure, such as respiratory, cardiovascular, and central nervous system, have been documented to cause 4.2 million premature deaths per year worldwide. Few reviews address cellular and molecular mechanisms in the epithelial and endothelial cells of the tissues exposed to PM, which can cause these diseases, this being the objective of the present review. For this, a search was carried out in the NCBI and Google Scholar databases focused on scientific publications that addressed the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules, adhesion molecules, and oxidative radicals, among others, and their relationship with the effects caused by the PM. The main findings include the increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines and dysfunction in the components of the immune response; the formation of reactive oxygen species; changes in epithelial and endothelial function, evidenced by altered expression of adhesion molecules; and the increase in molecules involved in coagulation. Complementary studies are required to understand the molecular effects of harmful health effects and the future approach to strategies to mitigate this response.

Abstract
Noncoding ribonucleic acids (ncRNAs) are closely associated with tumor initiation, growth, and progress in lung cancer. Long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), as one of the three subclasses of ncRNAs, play important roles in chromatin modification, transcription, and post-transcriptional processing. Various lncRNAs have recently been reported to be dysfunctional or dysregulated in cancers and have pro- or anti-tumor potential. Importantly, as a new class of cancer biomarkers, studies have demonstrated the plausibility of using certain subsets of lncRNAs as promising diagnostic, therapeutic, or prognostic strategies to manage cancers. This review focuses on lncRNAs associated with hallmarks of lung cancer, especially those discovered in the last five years. The expression levels of these lncRNAs in tumor samples are discussed, alongside their mechanisms of action, drug resistance, and potential as diagnostic and prognostic markers for lung cancer.
