CHEMOSPHERE 2024:142964. [PMID: 39074667 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/31/2024]
Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs), earlier praised for their eco-friendliness, have emerged as key chemicals in advancing green chemistry, catalysis, solvent development, and more. However, the discovery of their notable toxicity has led to a controversial reputation of ILs and has shifted the research landscape towards understanding their biological impacts. The present study examines the mechanism of cytotoxicity of 32 ILs across six classes, highlighting their effects on the cell cycle of the Jurkat cell line. Focusing on five ILs with pronounced cytotoxicity, we uncover their genotoxic effects and their role in inducing apoptosis. Our findings suggest intricate interplay between the extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways at different time points after exposure to ILs. Moreover, the ILs studied displayed marked genotoxicity, likely stemming from the accumulation of double-strand DNA breaks in the Jurkat cells. This investigation offers a comprehensive view on interactions of ILs with eukaryotic cells, thereby providing new guidelines for developing safer pharmaceutical and industrial applications of these chemicals. The results not only broaden and enhance the previous perceptions but also open new avenues in research, emphasizing the dual potential of ILs in innovation and safety, and marking a significant step towards integrating chemical innovations with biological safety.

Abstract
Ionic liquid tetrafluoroborated-1-tetradecyl-3-methylimidazole salt ([C14mim]BF4) immunotoxicity was investigated in rats using three exposure groups (12.5, 25, and 50 mg kg-1), one recovery group (50 mg kg-1), and a control group without any treatment. The findings demonstrated that, at low doses, [C14mim]BF4 could raise WBC, NEU, and MID and lysozyme levels as well as spleen T-lymphocyte stimulation index in rats, however at high doses, the aforementioned indices were dramatically lowered. As the dose was raised, the proportion of RBC and PLT in the blood as well as CD4+ and CD8+ in the spleen increased, but the quantity of immunoglobulin IgG, IgA, and IgM in the serum as well as the number of NK cells in the spleen considerably dropped. Even though there were varying degrees of improvement 30 days after ceasing exposure, all these changes were unable to return to normal, and the number of NK cells was further decreased. The study demonstrates that [C14mim]BF4 can damage the specific immunity and non-specific immunity of rats, and cause immune dysfunction.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are a class of low melting point salts with physicochemical properties suitable for a range of industrial applications such as chemical processing and battery design. Major challenges to the wide-scale adoption of ILs in industry include their eco- and cytotoxic effects, however, this opens up the possibility of the use of ILs use as novel anticancer agents. Understanding the structural features that promote IL cytotoxicity is therefore important. Key structural features that can impact IL cytotoxicity include size and lipophilicity of the cationic head group. In this study, the cytotoxic effects of acridinium-based ILs containing relatively large tri- and tetracyclic cations were evaluated. It was found that 9-phenylacridinium-based ILs are potent cytotoxic agents that reduce the viability of human MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells with IC50 concentrations in the nanomolar range. In mechanistic studies, it was found that unlike the pyridinium-based analogue, [C16Py][I], acridinium-based ILs did not inhibit oxidative phosphorylation or induce reactive oxygen species formation, and may instead target other mitochondrial processes or components such as mitochondrial DNA.

Abstract
The methylimidazolium ionic liquid M8OI (1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, also known as [C8mim]Cl) has been detected in the environment and may represent a hazard trigger for the autoimmune liver disease primary biliary cholangitis, based in part on studies using a rat liver progenitor cell. The effect of M8OI on an equivalent human liver progenitor (undifferentiated HepaRG cells; u-HepaRG) was therefore examined. u-HepaRG cells were less sensitive (>20-fold) to the toxic effects of M8OI. The relative insensitivity of u-HepaRG cells to M8OI was in part, associated with a detoxification by monooxygenation via CYP3A7 followed by further oxidation to a carboxylic acid. Expression of CYP3A7 - in contrast to the related adult hepatic CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 forms - was confirmed in u-HepaRG cells. However, blocking M8OI metabolism with ketoconazole only partly sensitized u-HepaRG cells. Despite similar proliferation rates, u-HepaRG cells consumed around 75% less oxygen than B-13 cells, reflective of reduced dependence on mitochondrial activity (Crabtree effect). Replacing glucose with galactose, resulted in an increase in u-HepaRG cell sensitivity to M8OI, near similar to that seen in B-13 cells. u-HepaRG cells therefore show reduced sensitivity to the toxic effects of M8OI through a combination of metabolic detoxification and their reduced reliance on mitochondrial function.

Abstract
The review presents a detailed discussion of the evolving field studying interactions between ionic liquids (ILs) and biological systems. Originating from molten salt electrolytes to present multiapplication substances, ILs have found usage across various fields due to their exceptional physicochemical properties, including excellent tunability. However, their interactions with biological systems and potential influence on living organisms remain largely unexplored. This review examines the cytotoxic effects of ILs on cell cultures, biomolecules, and vertebrate and invertebrate organisms. Our understanding of IL toxicity, while growing in recent years, is yet nascent. The established findings include correlations between harmful effects of ILs and their ability to disturb cellular membranes, their potential to trigger oxidative stress in cells, and their ability to cause cell death via apoptosis. Future research directions proposed in the review include studying the distribution of various ILs within cellular compartments and organelles, investigating metabolic transformations of ILs in cells and organisms, detailed analysis of IL effects on proteins involved in oxidative stress and apoptosis, correlation studies between IL doses, exposure times and resulting adverse effects, and examination of effects of subtoxic concentrations of ILs on various biological objects. This review aims to serve as a critical analysis of the current body of knowledge on IL-related toxicity mechanisms. Furthermore, it can guide researchers toward the design of less toxic ILs and the informed use of ILs in drug development and medicine.

Abstract
Antioxidant peptides were purified from Hydrilla verticillata (Linn. f.) Royle (HVR) protein hydrolysate by ultrafiltration, gel filtration chromatography, and semipreparative reversed-phase HPLC and identified by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Therein, TCLGPK and TCLGER were selected to be synthesized, and they displayed desirable radical-scavenging activity to ABTS (99.20 ± 0.56-99.20 ± 0.43%), DPPH (97.32 ± 0.59-97.56 ± 0.97%), hydroxyl radical (54.32 ± 1.27-70.42 ± 2.01%), and superoxide anion (42.93 ± 1.46-52.62 ± 1.11%) at a concentration of 0.96 μmol/mL. They possessed a cytoprotective effect against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. 1.6 μmol/mL of the two peptides could perfectly protect HepG2 cells from H2O2-induced injury. The TCLGPK exhibited higher antioxidant activity and cytoprotective effect than TCLGER. Western blot and molecular docking results indicated that the two peptides achieved antioxidant ability and cytoprotective effect by combining with Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) to activate the Keap1-nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-antioxidant response elements signaling pathway, leading to the activity and expression of the related antioxidases in the pathway significantly up-regulating and the intracellular reactive oxygen species level, lipid peroxidation, and cell apoptosis rate significantly down-regulating.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are a class of low melting point salts with physicochemical properties that make them suitable for a range of industrial applications. Accumulating evidence suggests that certain ILs are cytotoxic and potential environmental pollutants, thus understanding the structural features that promote IL cytotoxicity is important. Amphiphilic ionic liquids (AmILs), a class of ILs with lipophilic N-alkyl chains, containing aromatic head groups are generally more cytotoxic than their aliphatic counterparts, however the impact of other head group properties are less clear. This study therefore sought to provide new structure activity relationship (SAR) insights regarding the role of the cationic head group on AmIL cytotoxicity. A series of AmILs bearing a range of structurally diverse aromatic cations varying in size, charge, and lipophilicity was synthesised and screened against human MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. It was found that larger and more lipophilic head groups increased cytotoxicity, although the magnitude of the changes were modest. The mitochondrial effects of representative ILs were assessed. The AmILs induced mitochondrial dysfunction in MDA-MB-231 cells at cytotoxic concentrations, suggesting that they target mitochondria. The new SAR information from this study may assist in the design of AmILs with controlled cytotoxicity.

Abstract
In the past 25 years, a vast family of complex organic salts known as room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) has received increasing attention due to their potential applications. ILs are composed by an organic cation and either an organic or inorganic anion, and possess several intriguing properties such as low vapor pressure and being liquid around room temperature. Several biological studies flagged their moderate-to-high (cyto)-toxicity. Toxicity is, however, also a synonym of affinity, and this boosted a series of biophysical and chemical-physical investigations aimed at exploiting ILs in bio-nanomedicine, drug-delivery, pharmacology, and bio-nanotechnology. Several of these investigations focused on the interaction between ILs and lipid membranes, aimed at determining the microscopic mechanisms behind their interaction. This is the focus of this review work. These studies have been carried out on a variety of different lipid bilayer systems ranging from 1-lipid to 5-lipids systems, and also on cell-extracted membranes. They have been carried out at different chemical-physical conditions and by the use of a number of different approaches, including atomic force microscopy, neutron and X-ray scattering, dynamic light scattering, differential scanning calorimetry, surface quartz microbalance, nuclear magnetic resonance, confocal fluorescence microscopy, and molecular dynamics simulations. The aim of this "2023 Michèle Auger Award" review work is to provide the reader with an up-to-date overview of this fascinating research field where "ILs meet lipid bilayers (aka biomembranes)," with the aim to boost it further and expand its cross-disciplinary edges towards novel high-impact ideas/applications in pharmacology, drug delivery, biomedicine, and bio-nanotechnology.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent primary liver cancer in Sub-Saharan African countries, including South Africa (SA). Given the limitations in current HCC therapeutics, there is an increasing need for alternative adjuvant therapeutic options. As such, several cell survival mechanisms, such as autophagy, have been identified as potential adjuvant therapeutic targets in HCC treatment. Of the three most established autophagic pathways, the upregulation of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) has been extensively described in various cancer cells, including HCC cells. CMA promotes tumor growth and chemotherapeutic drug resistance, thus contributing to HCC tumorigenesis. Therefore, the modulation of CMA serves as a promising adjuvant target for current HCC therapeutic strategies. Phytochemical extracts found in the medicinal plant, Moringa oleifera (MO), have been shown to induce apoptosis in numerous cancer cells, including HCC. MO leaves have the greatest abundance of phytochemicals displaying anticancer potential. However, the potential interaction between the pro-apoptotic effects of MO aqueous leaf extract and the survival-promoting role of CMA in an in vitro model of HCC remains unclear. This review aims to summarize the latest findings on the role of CMA, and MO in the progression of HCC.

Abstract
The present research paper details the synthesis of novel ionic compounds based on triterpene acids (betulinic, oleanolic and ursolic), with these acids acting both as anions and connected through a spacer with various nitrogen-containing compounds (pyridine, piperidine, morpholine, pyrrolidine, triethylamine and dimethylethanolamine) and acting as a cation. Based on the latter, a large number of ionic compounds with various counterions (BF4-, SbF6-, PF6-, CH3COO-, C6H5SO3-, m-C6H4(OH)COO- and CH3CH(OH)COO-) have been synthesized. We studied the cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds on the example of various tumor (Jurkat, K562, U937, HL60, A2780) and conditionally normal (HEK293) cell lines. IC50 was determined, and the influence of the structure and nature of the anion and cation on the antitumor activity was specified. Intracellular signaling, apoptosis induction and effects of the most active ionic compounds on the cell cycle and mitochondria have been discussed by applying modern methods of multiparametric enzyme immunoassay and flow cytometry.

Abstract
Methylimidazolium ionic liquids (MILs) are solvent chemicals used in industry. Recent work suggests that MILs are beginning to contaminate the environment and lead to exposure in the general population. In this study, the potential for MILs to cause cardiac toxicity has been examined. The effects of 5 chloride MIL salts possessing increasing alkyl chain lengths (2 C, EMI; 4 C, BMI; 6 C; HMI, 8 C, M8OI; 10 C, DMI) on rat neonatal cardiomyocyte beat rate, beat amplitude and cell survival were initially examined. Increasing alkyl chain length resulted in increasing adverse effects, with effects seen at 10-5 M at all endpoints with M8OI and DMI, the lowest concentration tested. A limited sub-acute toxicity study in rats identified potential cardiotoxic effects with longer chain MILs (HMI, M8OI and DMI) based on clinical chemistry. A 5 month oral/drinking water study with these MILs confirmed cardiotoxicity based on histopathology and clinical chemistry endpoints. Since previous studies in mice did not identify the heart as a target organ, the likely cause of the species difference was investigated. qRT-PCR and Western blotting identified a marked higher expression of p-glycoprotein-3 (also known as ABCB4 or MDR2) and the breast cancer related protein transporter BCRP (also known as ABCG2) in mouse, compared to rat heart. Addition of the BCRP inhibitor Ko143 - but not the p-glycoproteins inhibitor cyclosporin A - increased mouse cardiomyocyte HL-1 cell sensitivity to longer chain MILs to a limited extent. MILs therefore have a potential for cardiotoxicity in rats. Mice may be less sensitive to cardiotoxicity from MILs due in part, to increased excretion via higher levels of cardiac BCRP expression and/or function. MILs alone, therefore may represent a hazard in man in the future, particularly if use levels increase. The impact that MILs exposure has on sensitivity to cardiotoxic drugs, heart disease and other chronic diseases is unknown.

Abstract
AbstractNon-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) is a widespread disease with various complications including Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) that could lead to cirrhosis and ultimately hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Up till now there is no FDA approved drug for treatment of NAFLD. Flavonoids such as Rhamnetin (Rhm) have been ascribed effective anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. Thus, Rhm as a potent flavonoid could target multiple pathological cascades causing NAFLD to prevent its progression into HCC. NAFLD is a multifactorial disease and its pathophysiology is complex and is currently challenged by the ‘Multiple-hit hypothesis’ that includes wider range of comorbidities rather than previously established theory of ‘Two-hit hypothesis’. Herein, we aimed at establishing reliable in vitro NASH models using different mixtures of variable ratios and concentrations of oleic acid (OA) and palmitic acid (PA) combinations using HepG2 cell lines. Moreover, we compared those models in the context of oil red staining, triglyceride levels and their altered downstream molecular signatures for genes involved in de novo lipogenesis, inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptotic machineries as well. Lastly, the effect of Rhm on NASH and HCC models was deeply investigated. Over the 10 NASH models tested, PA 500 µM concentration was the best model to mimic the molecular events of steatosis induced NAFLD. Rhm successfully ameliorated the dysregulated molecular events caused by the PA-induced NASH. Additionally, Rhm regulated inflammatory and oxidative machinery in the HepG2 cancerous cell lines. In conclusion, PA 500 µM concentration is considered an effective in vitro model to mimic NASH. Rhm could be used as a promising therapeutic modality against both NASH and HCC pathogenesis.

Environmental exposure to microcystin-LR increases the risks of urinary bladder proliferation and carcinogenesis: Evidence from case control, animal, and in vitro studies.

[PMID: 36115647 DOI: 10.1016/j.tox.2022.153326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
To date, no reported studies have explored the impacts of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) on bladder tissues, and even the occurrence of bladder cancer. The current study explores the role of MC-LR in the development of bladder cancer through human observation and experimental research. In the population study, the odds ratio of bladder cancer for MC-LR was 6.073 (95 % CI, 2.117-17.422) after adjusting interference confounders. MC-LR is mainly located in the nucleus of epithelial cells in bladder cancer tissues instead of normal tissues. A positive association was observed between MC-LR and advanced tumor stage in serum and tissues. The animal study confirmed that prolonged MC-LR treatment promoted the bladder cancer phenotype accompanied by urinary bladder proliferation. In vitro, we indicated that MC-LR activated the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β/Cyclin D1 and JAK2/STAT3/Bcl2 signaling pathways to induce the growth of SV-HUC-1 cells. Moreover, MC-LR promoted the angiogenesis of SV-HUC-1 cells through PI3K/AKT/mTOR/HIF-1α/VEGF pathway. Our study provided the first evidence that prolonged MC-LR treatment increases the incidence of bladder cancer from human investigations, mice models, and in vitro studies, implying the profound importance of the investigation of MC-LR for public health.

Abstract
Current interest toward ionic liquids (ILs) stems from some of their novel characteristics, like low vapor pressure, thermal stability, and nonflammability, integrated through high ionic conductivity and broad range of electrochemical strength. Nowadays, ionic liquids represent a new category of chemical-based compounds for developing superior and multifunctional substances with potential in several fields. ILs can be used in solvents such as salt electrolyte and additional materials. By adding functional physiochemical characteristics, a variety of IL-based electrolytes can also be used for energy storage purposes. It is hoped that the present review will supply guidance for future research focused on IL-based polymer nanocomposites electrolytes for sensors, high performance, biomedicine, and environmental applications. Additionally, a comprehensive overview about the polymer-based composites' ILs components, including a classification of the types of polymer matrix available is provided in this review. More focus is placed upon ILs-based polymeric nanocomposites used in multiple applications such as electrochemical biosensors, energy-related materials, biomedicine, actuators, environmental, and the aviation and aerospace industries. At last, existing challenges and prospects in this field are discussed and concluding remarks are provided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pig plasma contains a large amount of protein. Porcine plasma polypeptide can be prepared by the enzymatic hydrolysis of porcine plasma protein. The present study investigated the function, structure, and mechanisms of porcine plasma peptides. RESULTS The results showed that WVRQAPGKGL had a major ability to scavenge hydroxyl radical scavenging activity (HRSA) (35.25%), 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazo line-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt radical scavenging activity (ABTS RSA) (93.09%) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity (DPPH RSA) (25.72%), as well as in angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition (91.64%). WVRQAPGKGL could inactivate ACE by binding to Zn2+ because of the presence of carboxyl in WVRQAPGKGL. The ACE inhibition, HRSA, and DPPH of synthetic WVRQAPGKGL were improved by 12.70%, 16.06%, and 117.11% respectively after in vitro digestion. It (0.1 mg mL-1 ) also increased superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) by 59.78%, 69.05%, and 59.06%, and decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) by 22.08% and 50.59%, respectively, to protect HepG2 cells induced by H2 O2 . Furthermore, in a spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) model, the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of the peptide group (30 mg kg-1 ) both decreased by about 33.33% in comparison with captopril. CONCLUSION A new difunctional (antioxidant and hypotensive) peptide, WVRQAPGKGL, derived from porcine plasma hydrolyzate was isolated by gel filtration and reverse phase chromatography, and identified by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-1 . The difunctional peptide WVRQAPGKGL from porcine plasma could therefore be used in formulating functional foods or pharmaceuticals. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In the early stage, oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) caused atherosclerosis, followed by human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) damage, leading to a variety of cardiovascular related diseases. This study investigated the mechanism of nonapeptide (EMFGTSSET, ETT) isolated from in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of Isochrysis zhanjiang on endothelial cell inflammation and apoptosis induced by ox-LDL in atherosclerosis. At the cellular level, the results shown that ETT inhibited the up-regulation of oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) induced by ox-LDL. Furthermore, ETT inhibited the fluorescence intensity of ROS, inflammatory factors (interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α) and the expression of cell adhesion molecules (vascular cell adhesion protein 1 and intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1). In addition, it also upregulates nuclear red blood cell 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO -1), p-Akt, and bcl-2 levels. But down-regulated the expression of p-p65, p-IκB-α, p-p38, p-ERK, p-JNK, bax, and cleaved caspase-9/-3 (c-c-9/-3), thereby inhibited ox-LDL induction inflammation and apoptosis of atherosclerosis. Through molecular docking, it was judged that the stable interaction between ETT and LOX-1 and VCAM-1 was maintained through hydrogen bonding. These results can provide a theoretical basis for ETT as a potential substance for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, and further improve the value of Isochrysis zhanjiangensis.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are known for their unique physicochemical properties. However, despite the great number of published papers, still little attention has been paid to their biological activity. Anticancer potential and the molecular mechanisms underlying the toxicity of these compounds are especially interesting and still unexplored. In the current work, a broad analysis of the cytotoxicity towards colon and breast cancers as well as glioblastoma of the ILs with pyridinium, piperidinium, pyrrolidinium, and imidazolium cations and trifluoromethanesulfonate or bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anions indicated previously as the most toxic for normal human dermal fibroblasts were presented. In the case of MCF-7 cells, the activity of 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate was more than twice as high as cisplatin. It was found that the inhibition of the cell cycle of colon cancer and glioblastoma cells occurs in different phases. More importantly, the different types of cell death were detected for both selected ILs, namely 1-hexyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethane-sulfonate, on colon cancer and glioblastoma, respectively, apoptosis and autophagy, confirmed at the gene and protein levels. Additionally, kinetic studies of the reactive oxygen species indicated that the tested ILs disturbed the cellular redox homeostasis.

Abstract
Owing to their unique physicochemical properties, ionic liquids (ILs) have been rapidly applied in diverse areas, such as organic synthesis, electrochemistry, analytical chemistry, functional materials, pharmaceutics, and biomedicine. The increase in the production and application of ILs has resulted in their release into aquatic and terrestrial environments. Because of their low vapor pressure, ILs cause very little pollution in the atmosphere compared to organic solvents. However, ILs are highly persistent in aquatic and terrestrial environments due to their stability, and therefore, potentially threaten the safety of eco-environments and human health. Specifically, the environmental translocation and retention of ILs, or their accumulation in organisms, are all related to their physiochemical properties, such as hydrophobicity. Based on results of ecotoxicity, cytotoxicity, and toxicity in mammalian models, the mechanisms involved in IL-induced toxicity include damage of cell membranes and induction of oxidative stress. Recently, artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques have been used in mining and modeling toxicity data to make meaningful predictions. Major future challenges are also discussed. This review will accelerate our understanding of the safety issues of ILs and serve as a guideline for the design of the next generation of ILs.

Abstract
A novel antioxidant peptide EDEQKFWGK from porcine plasma hydrolysate (PPH) was separated by chromatography, HPLC, and identified by LC-MS/MS. Results showed that EDEQKFWGK had better antioxidant ability (Hydroxyl RAS 32.19%, ABTS RAS 92.93% and DPPH RAS 26.76%) compared with glutathione (30.11%, 82.01%, 26.44%) due to the presence of hydrophobic, aromatic acids (F, W) and acidic amino acids (E, D), decreasing ROS by providing hydrogen atom and chelating metal ions. Furthermore, the antioxidant properties of synthetic EDEQKFWGK still significant despite in vitro digestion because of the production of smaller active peptide. Additionally, it could increase SOD, CAT, GSH-Px to resist oxidative damage in HepG2 cells by inhibiting ROS (O2 - , OH·), forming complexes to prevent OH· from destroying DNA and binding to ARE to promote antioxidase expression. Thereby, the novel peptide EDEQKFWGK from porcine plasma had much stable antioxidant properties and hade great potential in formulating functional foods. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: This research isolated a novel antioxidant peptide. Moreover, the antioxidant effects of peptide were confirmed under the in vitro digestion model and oxidative damage HepG2 cells model. The results showed the antioxidant peptide could play better effect after digestion and protect the cells from oxidative damage. These data could expand the sequence data of antioxidant peptides and promote the high-value utilization of PPH.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) were initially hailed as a green alternative to traditional solvents because of their almost non-existent vapor pressure as ecological replacement of most common volatile solvents in industrial processes for their damaging effects on the environment. It is common knowledge that they are not as green as desired, and more thought must be put into the biological consequences of their industrial use. Still, compared to the amount of research studying their physicochemical properties and potential applications in different areas, there is a scarcity of scientific papers regarding how these substances interact with different organisms. The intent of this review was to compile the information published in this area since 2015 to allow the reader to better understand how, for example, bacteria, plants, fish, etc., react to the presence of this family of liquids. In general, lipophilicity is one of the main drivers of toxicity and thus the type of cation. The anion tends to play a minor (but not negligible) role, but more research is needed since, owing to the very nature of ILs, except for the most common ones (imidazolium and ammonium-based), many of them are subject to only one or two articles.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) exhibit cytotoxic effects on prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In this study, the antibacterial and antiproliferative activities of tetrahexylammonium bromide-based ILs were investigated. In order to evaluate the therapeutic potential of these ionic liquids, firstly microbiological assay using both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were conducted by employing Disk-Diffusion and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chlorine (TTC) methods to assess the antimicrobial effects. Likewise, the antitumor effects on 2D and 3D cell culture systems were assessed using the human colon cancer Caco-2 cell line and cytotoxic activity was assessed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and Alamar blue assays. Results obtained showed that [CH3(CH2)5]4N(Br) possesses an antibacterial potential, particularly in the case of two bacteria, S. aureus (Gram+) and H. influenzae (Gram-). Preliminary screening of antiproliferative activity showed moderate activity, except for the concentration of 10 mM. Furthermore, regarding the effect of [CH3(CH2)5]4N(Br) on tumor cell aggregation, positive outcomes were noted. [CH3(CH2)5]4N(Br) presents promising and under-explored potential to improve antibacterial or anticancer therapies.

Abstract
Seahorse (Hippocampus kuda Bleeler) are representative marine species in aquaculture, with special value of medicine and food. In this study, the protective effects of two peptides from seahorse hydrolysates (SHP-1 and SHP-2) against ethanol-mediated oxidative stress in HepG2/CYP2E1 cells were investigated. Firstly, SHP-1 and SHP-2 presented no cytotoxicity. Compared with the ethanol-treated groups, SHP-1 and SHP-2 increased cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner. Secondly, SHP-1 and SHP-2 markedly reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) activity, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels and remarkably enhanced superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) activities. SHP-1 and SHP-2 also down-regulated the expressions of GGT, bax, c-caspase-8/-9/-3, p-Akt, p-IκB-α, p-p65, p-ERK, and p-p38 but up-regulated SOD, GSH, NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and bcl-2 levels, as revealed by Western blot analysis. Moreover, SHP-1 and SHP-2 increased the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), reduced DNA damage, and suppressed the nuclear translocation of p65. These results suggest that two peptides from seahorse hydrolysates can be considered a potential functional biomaterial and further improve the use value of seahorse in aquaculture.

Abstract
The ionic liquid 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium (M8OI) has been found in the environment and identified as a hazard for triggering the liver disease primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Given limited toxicity data for M8OI and other structurally-related ionic liquids, target organs for M8OI toxicity were examined. Adult male C57Bl6 mice were acutely exposed to 0-10 mg/kg body weight M8OI via 2 intraperitoneal injections (time zero and 18 h) and effects examined at 24 h. At termination, tissue histopathology, serum and urinary endpoints were examined. No overt pathological changes were observed in the heart and brain. In contrast, focal and mild to multifocal and moderate degeneration with a general trend for an increase in severity with increased dose was observed in the kidney. These changes were accompanied by a dose-dependent increased expression of Kim1 in kidney tissue, marked elevations in urinary Kim1 protein and a dose-dependent increase in serum creatinine. Hepatic changes were limited to a significant dose-dependent loss of hepatic glycogen and a mild but significant increase in portal tract inflammatory recruitment and/or fibroblastic proliferation accompanied by a focal fibrotic change. Cultured mouse tissue slices reflected these in vivo effects in that dose-dependent injury was observed in kidney slices but not in the liver. Kidney slices accumulated higher levels of M8OI than liver slices (e.g. at 10 μM, greater than 4 fold) and liver slices where markedly more active in the metabolism of M8OI. These data indicate that the kidney is a target organ for the toxic effects of M8OI accompanied by mild cholangiopathic changes in the liver after intraperitoneal administration.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are a relatively new class of organic electrolytes composed of an organic cation and either an organic or inorganic anion, whose melting temperature falls around room-temperature. In the last 20 years, the toxicity of ILs towards cells and micro-organisms has been heavily investigated with the main aim to assess the risks associated with their potential use in (industrial) applications, and to develop strategies to design greener ILs. Toxicity, however, is synonym with affinity, and this has stimulated, in turn, a series of biophysical and chemical-physical investigations as well as few biochemical studies focused on the mechanisms of action (MoAs) of ILs, key step in the development of applications in bio-nanomedicine and bio-nanotechnology. This review has the intent to present an overview of the state of the art of the MoAs of ILs, which have been the focus of a limited number of studies but still sufficient enough to provide a first glimpse on the subject. The overall picture that emerges is quite intriguing and shows that ILs interact with cells in a variety of different mechanisms, including alteration of lipid distribution and cell membrane viscoelasticity, disruption of cell and nuclear membranes, mitochondrial permeabilization and dysfunction, generation of reactive oxygen species, chloroplast damage (in plants), alteration of transmembrane and cytoplasmatic proteins/enzyme functions, alteration of signaling pathways, and DNA fragmentation. Together with our earlier review work on the biophysics and chemical-physics of IL-cell membrane interactions (Biophys. Rev. 9:309, 2017), we hope that the present review, focused instead on the biochemical aspects, will stimulate a series of new investigations and discoveries in the still new and interdisciplinary field of "ILs, biomolecules, and cells."

Abstract
Cell migration is a universal and crucial mechanism for life. It is required in a series of physiological processes, in wound repair and immune response and is involved in several pathological conditions, including cancer and virus dissemination. Among the several biochemical and biophysical routes, changing cell membrane elasticity holds the promise to be a universal strategy to alter cell mobility. Due to their affinity with cell membranes, ionic liquids (ILs) may play an important role. This work focuses on the effect of subtoxic amounts of imidazolium-ILs on the migration of the model cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Here we show that ILs are able to enhance cell mobility by reducing the elasticity of the cellular lipid membrane, and that both mobility and elasticity can be tuned by IL-concentration and IL-cation chain length. This biochemical-physical mechanism is potentially valid for all mammalian cells, and its impact in bionanomedicine and bionanotechnology is discussed.

Abstract
Recent studies have identified the 8C alkyl chain methylimidazolium ionic liquid 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium in the environment and its potential to trigger the auto-immune liver disease primary biliary cholangitis. The toxicity of a range of methylimidazolium ionic liquids were therefore examined. Oxygen consumption was rapidly inhibited, with potency increasing with alkyl chain length. This preceded caspase 3/7 induction and DNA fragmentation. Time- and dose-dependent loss of dye reduction capacities reflected these effects, with a >700 fold difference in potency between 2C and 10C alkyl chain liquids. None of the ionic liquids directly inhibited mitochondrial complexes I-IV or complex V (F0F1-ATPase). However, dithionite reduction and ESR spectroscopy studies indicate a one electron reduction of oxygen in the presence of a methylimidazolium ionic liquid, suggesting methylimidazolium ionic liquids function as mitochondrial electron acceptors. However, only longer chain ionic liquids form a non-aqueous phase or micelle under aqueous physiological conditions and lead to increases in reactive oxygen species in intact cells. These data therefore suggest that the longer chain methylimidazolium liquids are toxic in sensitive liver progenitor cells because they both readily integrate within the inner mitochondrial membrane and accept electrons from the electron chain, leading to oxidative stress.

Abstract
Umami peptides can help reduce the salt content in foods while still maintaining a savory taste. Few studies have reported the bioactivity of umami peptides after consumption. We studied the bioactivities of 12 umami peptides after gastrointestinal digestion. Three umami peptides exhibited angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory and antioxidant activity after digestion. Six novel peptides were identified from digestion solutions of the peptides by HPLC-MS/MS. Among them, CC, CCNK, and HCHT had both ACE inhibitory activity (IC50 values were 9.81, 9.00, and 114.99 μM, respectively) and antioxidant activity (strong 1,1-Diphenyl-2-pycryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) free radical scavenging activities). AHSVRF had strong ACE inhibitory activity. These peptides increased the nitric oxide concentration and decreased the content of endothelin-1 in a medium of human umbilical vein endothelial cells in a dose-dependent manner. Experiments with damaged HepG2 cells showed that peptides CC, CCNK, and HCHT had antioxidant activity through their cytoprotective effects and by reducing the reactive oxygen species content. The results indicated that umami peptides may provide many health benefits after consumption.

Abstract
This study purposes to assess the cytotoxicity of 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C12 min]Cl) in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells. To this end, HepG2 cells were exposed to a range concentration of [C12 min]Cl and evaluated cell viability, genotoxicity, oxidative stress, apoptosis, cell cycle, and apoptosis-related gene expression to determine cytotoxicity. The outcomes showed that [C12 min]Cl curbed HepG2 cell growth and reduced cell viability in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Moreover, our assay results also revealed that exposure to [C12 min]Cl prompted DNA damage and apoptosis, reduced SOD and GSH content, enhanced MDA level, and changed the cell cycle of HepG2 cells. In addition, [C12 min] Cl caused alters in the expression levels of p53, Bax, and Bcl-2, indicating that p53 and Bcl-2 family may be involved in the cytotoxicity and apoptosis of HepG2 cells induced by [C12 min]C1. In summary, these results indicate that [C12 min]Cl exerts genotoxicity, physiological toxicity and prompts apoptosis in HepG2 cells, and is not an alleged green solvent.

Abstract
Ionic liquids are salts used in a variety of industrial processes, and being relatively non-volatile, are proposed as environmentally-friendly replacements for existing volatile liquids. Methylimidazolium ionic liquids resist complete degradation in the environment, likely because the imidazolium moiety does not exist naturally in biological systems. However, there is limited data available regarding their mammalian effects in vivo. This study aimed to examine the effects of exposing mice separately to 2 different methylimidazolium ionic liquids (BMI and M8OI) through their addition to drinking water. Potential effects on key target organs-the liver and kidney-were examined, as well as the gut microbiome. Adult male mice were exposed to drinking water containing ionic liquids at a concentration of 440 mg/L for 18 weeks prior to examination of tissues, serum, urine and the gut microbiome. Histopathology was performed on tissues and clinical chemistry on serum for biomarkers of hepatic and renal injury. Bacterial DNA was isolated from the gut contents and subjected to targeted 16S rRNA sequencing. Mild hepatic and renal effects were limited to glycogen depletion and mild degenerative changes respectively. No hepatic or renal adverse effects were observed. In contrast, ionic liquid exposure altered gut microbial composition but not overall alpha diversity. Proportional abundance of Lachnospiraceae, Clostridia and Coriobacteriaceae spp. were significantly greater in ionic liquid-exposed mice, as were predicted KEGG functional pathways associated with xenobiotic and amino acid metabolism. Exposure to ionic liquids via drinking water therefore resulted in marked changes in the gut microbiome in mice prior to any overt pathological effects in target organs. Ionic liquids may be an emerging risk to health through their potential effects on the gut microbiome, which is implicated in the causes and/or severity of an array of chronic disease in humans.

Abstract
Eutrophication of freshwater bodies increases the occurrence of toxic cyanobacterial blooms. The cyanobacterial toxin cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is receiving great interest due to its increasing presence in waterbodies. However, the toxic effects of CYN on zebrafish development are poorly understood, especially the toxicological mechanism, which is still unclear. In this study, we examined the adverse effects of CYN on embryonic development in zebrafish. CYN (2-2000 nM) exposure decreased embryos survival rate, hatching rate, body length and eye size in a concentration-dependent manner and caused abnormalities in embryo morphology, including pericardial edema, spinal curvature, tail deformity, uninflated swim bladder, cardiac and vascular defects. CYN at concentrations of 20 nM or higher significantly increased ROS level and promoted cell apoptosis in zebrafish embryos. To preliminarily elucidate the potential mechanism of zebrafish developmental toxicity caused by CYN, we examined the expression of oxidative stress- and apoptotic-related genes. CYN could promote the expression of oxidative stress-related genes (SOD1, CAT and GPx1) and induce changes in transcriptional levels of apoptotic-related genes (p53, Bax and Bcl-2). Taken together, CYN induced adverse effects on zebrafish embryos development, which may associate with oxidative stress and apoptosis. These outcomes will advance our understanding of CYN toxicity, environmental problems and health hazards caused by climate changes and eutrophication.

Abstract
Ionic liquids are a diverse range of charged chemicals with low volatility and often liquids at ambient temperatures. This characteristic has in part lead to them being considered environmentally-friendly replacements for existing volatile solvents. However, methylimidazolium ionic liquids are slow to break down in the environment and a recent study at Newcastle detected 1 octyl 3 methylimidazolium (M8OI) - an 8 carbon variant methylimidazolium ionic liquid - in soils in close proximity to a landfill site. The current M8OI toxicity database in cultured mammalian cells, in experimental animal studies and in model indicators of environmental impact are reviewed. Selected analytical data from the Newcastle study suggest the soils in close proximity to the landfill site, an urban soil lacking overt contamination, had variable levels of M8OI. The potential for M8OI - or a structurally related ionic liquid - to trigger primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), an autoimmune liver disease thought to be triggered by an unknown agent(s) in the environment, is reviewed.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs), a class of materials with unique physicochemical properties, have been used extensively in the fields of chemical engineering, biotechnology, material sciences, pharmaceutics, and many others. Because ILs are very polar by nature, they can migrate into the environment with the possibility of inclusion in the food chain and bioaccumulation in living organisms. However, the chemical natures of ILs are not quintessentially biocompatible. Therefore, the practical uses of ILs must be preceded by suitable toxicological assessments. Among different methods, the use of microorganisms to evaluate IL toxicity provides many advantages including short generation time, rapid growth, and environmental and industrial relevance. This article reviews the recent research progress on the toxicological properties of ILs toward microorganisms and highlights the computational prediction of various toxicity models.

Abstract
:
The unique properties of ionic liquids make them quite appealing for diverse applications,
from “green” solvents (1st generation ionic liquids) to finely tuned materials (2nd generation
ionic liquids). A decade ago, a 3rd generation of ionic liquids emerged which is focused
on their prospective clinical applications, either as drugs per se or as adjuvants in drug formulations.
In recent years, research focused on the use of ionic liquids for topical drug delivery
has been increasing and holds great promise towards clinical application against skin cancers.
This article highlights the growing relevance of ionic liquids in medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical
technology, which is opening new windows of opportunity.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) as green alternatives for volatile organic solvents are increasingly used in commercial applications. It is necessary to explore the cytotoxic mechanism of ILs to reduce the risk to human health. For this purpose, cell viability, apoptosis, cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), glucose transporter type 2 (GLUT2), and microRNA-122 (miR-122) gene expression in HepG2 cells was evaluated after IL exposure. The results showed that ILs reduced the viability of HepG2 cells through apoptotic cell death. Moreover, ILs markedly upregulated the transcription and protein levels of CYP3A4, but did not affect the expression of GLUT2 in either messenger RNA level or protein level. Finally, ILs increased the expression of miR-122 and inhibition of miR-122 with miR-122 inhibitor blocked ILs-induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells. This finding may contribute to an increased understanding of the in vitro molecular toxicity mechanism of ILs to further understand IL-related human health risks.

Abstract
The present study deals with the cyto-genotoxicological impact of ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, trihexyl tetradecylphosphonium dicyanamide, 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, benzyldimethyltetradecylammonium chloride, and 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium chloride, on animal cells and their biodegradation. The long alkyl chain containing ionic liquids were found to be more toxic whereas benzene functional group in benzyldimethyltetradecylammonium chloride enhances its toxicity. Aerobic bacterial granules, a bacterial consortium, were developed that have promising ability to break down these organic pollutants. These aerobic bacterial granules have been applied for the biodegradation of ionic liquids. The biological oxygen demand (5 days) and chemical oxygen demand parameters confirmed that the biodegradation was solely due to aerobic bacterial granules which further decreased the time period needed for regular biodegradation by biological oxygen demand (28 days). The high resolution mass spectrometry analysis further approved that the degradation of ionic liquids was mainly via removal of the methyl group. Elevated N-demethylase enzyme activity supports the ionic liquids degradation which may be occurring through demethylation mechanism. The amplicon sequencing of aerobic bacterial granules gives insight into the involvement of the bacterial community in the biodegradation process.

Abstract
A focused array of green imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) encompassing benzothiazole ring and amide linkage were designed and synthesized using quaternization and metathesis protocols. The synthesized ILs have been fully characterized by usual spectroscopic methods and screened for their anticancer activities against human cancer cell lines originating from breast and colon cancers. Collectively, our biological data demonstrate that the newly synthesized series has variable anticancer activities in the examined cancer types. The synthesized ILs 8, 10 and 21-29 comprising the methyl and methyl sulfonyl benzothiazole ring emerged as the most potent compounds with promising antiproliferative activities relative to their benzothiazole ring counterparts. Furthermore, the mechanism underlying the observed anticancer activity was investigated. The most active compound 22 appears to exert its anticancer effect through apoptosis dependent pathway in breast cancer cells. Interestingly, compound 22 has also shown good in silico absorption (81.75%) along with high gastro-intestinal absorption as per ADME predictions.

Cytotoxic effect of protic ionic liquids in HepG2 and HaCat human cells: in vitro and in silico studies. Toxicol Res (Camb) 2019; 8:447-458.

Abstract
Protic ionic liquids (PILs) are innovative chemical compounds, which due to their peculiar nature and amazing physico-chemical properties, have been studied as potential sustainable solvents in many areas of modern science, such as in the industrial fields of textile dyeing, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, energy and many others. Due to their more than probable large-scale use in a short space of time, a wider analysis in terms of ecotoxicity and biological safety to humans has been attracting significant attention, once many ionic liquids were found to be "a little less than green compounds" towards cells and living organisms. The aim of this study is to investigate the cytotoxicity of 13 recently synthesized PILs, as well as to reinforce knowledge in terms of key thermodynamic magnitudes. All the studied compounds were tested for their in vitro toxic activities on two human cell lines (normal keratinocytes HaCaT and hepatocytes HepG2). In addition, due to the enormous number of possible combinations of anions and cations that can form ionic liquids, a group contribution QSAR model has been tested in order to predict their cytotoxicity. The estimated and experimental values were adequately correlated (correlation coefficient R 2 = 0.9260). The experimental obtained results showed their remarkable low toxicity for the studied in vitro systems.

Preventive Effect of YGDEY from Tilapia Fish Skin Gelatin Hydrolysates against Alcohol-Induced Damage in HepG2 Cells through ROS-Mediated Signaling Pathways. Nutrients 2019; 11:E392. [PMID: 30781878 PMCID: PMC6412572 DOI: 10.3390/nu11020392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2019] [Revised: 02/08/2019] [Accepted: 02/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
According to a previous study, YGDEY from tilapia fish skin gelatin hydrolysates has strong free radical scavenging activity. In the present study, the protective effect of YGDEY against oxidative stress induced by ethanol in HepG2 cells was investigated. First, cells were incubated with YGDEY (10, 20, 50, and 100 μM) to assess cytotoxicity, and there was no significant change in cell viability. Next, it was established that YGDEY decreased the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Western blot results indicated that YGDEY increased the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) and decreased the expression of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) in HepG2 cells. It was then revealed that YGDEY markedly reduced the expressions of bax and cleaved-caspase-3 (c-caspase-3); inhibited phosphorylation of Akt, IκB-α, p65, and p38; and increased the level of bcl-2. Moreover, the comet assay showed that YGDEY effectively decreased the amount of ethanol-induced DNA damage. Thus, YGDEY protected HepG2 cells from alcohol-induced injury by inhibiting oxidative stress, and this may be associated with the Akt/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction pathways. These results demonstrate that YGDEY from tilapia fish skin gelatin hydrolysates protects HepG2 cells from oxidative stress, making it a potential functional food ingredient.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 84:627-638. [PMID: 30343007 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2018.09.052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2018] [Revised: 09/17/2018] [Accepted: 09/18/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the chronic toxicity of 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium bromide ([C8mim]Br) on the silver carp to further reveal the toxicological mechanisms of ionic liquids. Chronic exposure of silver carp to [C8mim]Br at concentrations of 1.095 and 4.380 mg/L for 60 d was conducted under laboratory conditions. The results revealed that chronic exposure to [C8mim]Br inhibited the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels while markedly increasing malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyl (PC) levels in fish spleen, indicating that [C8mim]Br treatment induced oxidative stress. Additionally, long-term exposure to [C8mim]Br markedly upregulated the expressions of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interferon-γ (IFN-γ); altered the levels of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β); and increased the mRNA levels of p38MAPK, c-fos, c-jun, and c-myc, suggesting that long-term exposure to [C8mim]Br might promote the inflammatory response in fish spleen and that p38MAPK/NF-κB signalling may potentially be involved in this process. Moreover, [C8mim]Br-exposure altered lysozyme activity and complement 3 (C3) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) content, indicating that chronic [C8mim]Br exposure also has immunotoxic effects on silver carp. Furthermore, we also found that [C8mim]Br exposure reduced miR-125b levels, altered miR-143 levels, and upregulated miR-155 and miR-21 levels, suggesting that these miRNAs may be involved in the [C8mim]Br-induced inflammatory response in fish spleen. In summary, the present study indicates that chronic exposure to [C8mim]Br induces inflammation in fish spleen and that oxidative stress-mediated p38MAPK/NF-κB signalling and miRNAs may play a key role in this process.
