Parent and halogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exposure in aluminum smelter workers: Serum levels, accumulation trends, and association with health indicators. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 913:169655. [PMID: 38159767 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.169655] [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: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their halogenated derivatives (HPAHs) can be unintentionally formed and released during industrial thermal processes. However, information on internal exposure and health risks of PAHs and HPAHs for thermal industry workers is very limited. In this study, serum samples from 220 aluminum smelter workers in East China were analyzed, and the relationship between the levels of these pollutants and various health indicators was also assessed. The workers had markedly higher serum concentrations of PAHs and HPAHs than the controls. The serum concentrations of ∑13PAHs and ∑9HPAHs increased with increasing age and occupational exposure duration in male workers. A positive correlation was observed between the ∑13PAH and ∑9HPAH serum concentrations, and the concentration of ∑13PAHs was approximately 50 times higher than that of ∑9HPAHs. For benzo[a]pyrene equivalent (BaPeq)-based risk assessment, the contribution of PAHs and HPAHs to the risk was 80 % and 20 % in the workers. PAHs and HPAHs showed a positive association with pulmonary hypofunction, hypertension and abnormal electrocardiogram. This study indicates occupational exposure to these toxic pollutants remains a significant issue and provides evidence that elevated serum levels of ∑13PAHs and ∑9HPAHs may be associated with an increased risk of lung and cardiovascular diseases.

Combined multi-omics analysis reveals oil mist particulate matter-induced lung injury in rats: Pathological damage, proteomics, metabolic disturbances, and lung dysbiosis. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2022; 241:113759. [PMID: 35714485 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.113759] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Oil mist particulate matter (OMPM) causes acute and chronic diseases and exacerbations. Owing to the characteristics of poor ventilation, high oil mist concentration, and a relatively closed working environment, the existence of OMPM in the cabin is inevitable, and its impact on the health of occupations on ships cannot be ignored. However, compared with several studies that summarized the health effects of OMPM from traditional sources, few studies have focused on the occupational exposure risk of OMPM from oil pollution sources in ships. In this study, we collected OMPM from oil pollution in cabins and assessed the exposure to OMPM from oil pollution and the corresponding health risks through acute exposure experiments in rats. OMPM exposure induces protein regulation in the extracellular matrix and immune responses, leading to severe inflammatory responses. The abundance and composition of the lung microbial community changed significantly. It interferes with the lung metabolite levels. However, more research is needed to fully understand the extent of health risks associated with OMPM exposure. Further research on vulnerable groups exposed to OMPM from ships is needed to inform public health interventions.

The interplay between exposure to PAHs and MTHFR C677T polymorphism on cardiovascular risk biomarkers in Mexican women.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Environmental and genetic factors are recognized as risk determinants in the onset and development of CVDs. However, the interaction between both factors on CVDs risk is not still completely clarified. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the interaction between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure (gene-environment interaction) on cardiovascular risk biomarkers in Mexican women. A cross-sectional study was completed with the participation of 390 healthy women. For all enrolled women, anthropometric measurements, serum biochemical analyses, atherogenic indexes, and serum concentrations of biomolecules used as CVD risk biomarkers were obtained. 1-Hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) was measured in urine, as an exposure biomarker of PAHs. The mean urinary level of 1-OHP in the assessed population was 1.23 ± 1.40 μmol/mol creatinine. The allelic frequency (MTHFR C677T polymorphism) identified in the registered individuals was 68.0% for the mutant allele (T-allele). Significant positive associations were detected between urinary 1-OHP levels and serum asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) concentrations (p < 0.05) and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) values (p < 0.05). Also, women with the TT genotype of the MTHFR C677T enzyme have the highest serum ADMA levels (p < 0.05) and AIP values (p < 0.05) compared to women grouped as CC genotype and CT genotype. Besides, the findings in this study suggest an interaction between environmental (PAHs exposure) and genetic (MTHFR C677T polymorphism) factors on cardiovascular risk markers (ADMA and AIP). According to the usefulness of AIP and ADMA, an increased cardiovascular risk is notable in highly exposed individuals to PAHs with the polymorphic genotype (TT) of the MTHFR enzyme. Therefore, intervention programs in the target communities are required to diminish the cardiovascular risk of the assessed individuals.

Acrylamide exposure increases cardiovascular risk of general adult population probably by inducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and TGF-β1: A prospective cohort study. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2022; 164:107261. [PMID: 35486963 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2022.107261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2022] [Revised: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Acrylamide (ACR) exposure and consequent health hazards are alarming public health issues that attract worldwide concern. The World Health Organization urges more researches into health hazards from ACR exposure. However, whether and how ACR exposure increases cardiovascular risk remain unclear, and we sought to address these issues in this prospective cohort study conducted on 3024 general adults with 3-year follow-up (N = 871 at follow-up). Individual urinary ACR metabolites (N-Acetyl-S-(2-carbamoylethyl)-L-cysteine [AAMA] and N-Acetyl-S-(2-carbamoyl-2-hydroxyethyl)-L-cysteine [GAMA]) as credible biomarkers of ACR exposure were detected to assess their cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships with 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, a well measure of overall cardiovascular risk. Besides, biomarkers of oxidative stress (urinary 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine [8-OHdG] and 8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α [8-iso-PGF2α]) and inflammation (circulating mean platelet volume [MPV] and plasma C-reactive protein [CRP]) as well as plasma transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were measured to assess their mediating/mechanistic roles in the relationships of ACR metabolites with 10-year CVD risk. We found AAMA, GAMA, and ΣUAAM (AAMA + GAMA) were cross-sectionally and longitudinally related to increased 10-year CVD risk with odds ratios (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) of 1.32 (1.04, 1.70), 1.81 (1.36, 2.40), and 1.40 (1.07, 1.82), respectively, and risk ratios (95% CIs) of 1.99 (1.10, 3.60), 2.48 (1.27, 4.86), and 2.13 (1.15, 3.94), respectively. Furthermore, 8-OHdG, 8-iso-PGF2α, MPV, CRP, and TGF-β1 were found to significantly mediate 8.06-48.92% of the ACR metabolites-associated 10-year CVD risk increment. In summary, daily ACR exposure of general adults was cross-sectionally and longitudinally associated with increased cardiovascular risk, which was partly mediated by oxidative stress, inflammation, and TGF-β1, suggesting for the first time that ACR exposure may well increase cardiovascular risk of general adult population partly by mechanisms of inducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and TGF-β1. Our findings have important public health implications that provide potent epidemiological evidence and vital mechanistic insight into cardiovascular risk increment from ACR exposure.

The association between urinary metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and cardiovascular diseases and blood pressure: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

Abstract
Although epidemiological studies have discerned the association between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure and hypertension and/or cardiovascular disease in the general population, the possible mechanisms for this association are not well understood. We sought to examine the association between urinary metabolites of PAHs and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and blood pressure in adults, by conducting a meta-analysis of observational studies. We searched PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of science, up to July 2021, for observational studies that investigated the association between urinary metabolites of PAHs and CVDs and blood pressure in adults. Nine prospective studies, including 27,280 participants, were included. Based on overall pooled results, there was a significant positive association between all types of urinary metabolites of PAH and blood pressure (OR: 1.32; 95%, CI: 1.19 to 1.48, p < 0.0001) (I2 = 62.4%, p < 0.0001). There was no significant association between any urinary metabolite of PAH and CHD (OR: 0.93; 95%, CI: 0.83 to 1.03, p = 0.174) (I2 = 0%, p = 0.653). Overall, there was a significant positive association between all urinary metabolites of PAH and CVD (OR: 1.23; 95%, CI: 1.16 to 1.30, p < 0.0001) (I2 = 59.7%, p < 0.0001). The results of the present meta-analysis suggest that different metabolites PAHs are associated with an increased risk of CVD and HTN. Further studies, including randomized clinical trials, are needed to confirm the veracity of our findings.

Aggregation of Vascular Risk Factors Modulates the Amplitude of Low-Frequency Fluctuation in Mild Cognitive Impairment Patients. Front Aging Neurosci 2020; 12:604246. [PMID: 33408627 PMCID: PMC7779477 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2020.604246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2020] [Accepted: 11/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Several vascular risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, body mass index, and smoking status are found to be associated with cognitive decline and the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We aimed to investigate whether an aggregation of vascular risk factors modulates the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods: Forty-three MCI patients and twenty-nine healthy controls (HCs) underwent resting-state functional MRI scans, and spontaneous brain activity was measured by the ALFF technique. The vascular risk profile was represented with the Framingham Heart Study general cardiovascular disease (FHS-CVD) risk score, and each group was further divided into high and low risk subgroups. Two-way ANOVA was performed to explore the main effects of diagnosis and vascular risk and their interaction on ALFF. Results: The main effect of diagnosis on ALFF was found in left middle temporal gyrus (LMTG) and left superior parietal gyrus (LSPG), and the main effect of risk on ALFF was detected in left fusiform gyrus (LFFG), left precuneus (LPCUN), and left cerebellum posterior lobe (LCPL). Patients with MCI exhibited increased ALFF in the LMTG and LSPG than HCs, and participants with high vascular risk showed increased ALFF in the LFFG and LCPL, while decreased ALFF in the LPCUN. An interaction between diagnosis (MCI vs. HC) and FHS-CVD risk (high vs. low) regarding ALFF was observed in the left hippocampus (LHIP). HCs with high vascular risk showed significantly increased ALFF in the LHIP than those with low vascular risk, while MCI patients with high vascular risk showed decreased ALFF in the LHIP than HCs with high vascular risk. Interestingly, the mean ALFF of LHIP positively correlated with word recall test in HCs with high vascular risk (rho = 0.630, P = 0.016), while negatively correlated with the same test in MCI patients with high vascular risk (rho = −0.607, P = 0.001). Conclusions: This study provides preliminary evidence highlighting that the aggregation of vascular risk factors modulates the spontaneous brain activity in MCI patients, and this may serve as a potential imaging mechanism underlying vascular contribution to AD.

Abstract
Limited data are available on seasonal associations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure with oxidative DNA damage. We conducted a pilot study with 20 postgraduates, and measured urinary levels of mono-hydroxyl PAHs (OH-PAHs) and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) for 7 consecutive days in the four seasons. We assessed the relationships of urinary OH-PAHs with urinary 8-OHdG in the whole year as well as cold- and warm-seasons. Summed OH-PAHs (∑OH-PAHs) were higher in cold season than in warm season. Each ln-unit (ln-transformed unit) increase in ∑OH-PAHs in the whole year corresponded to a 34%, 16% or 23% increase in urinary 8-OHdG levels at lag0, lag1 or lag2 day as well as a 26% increase in urinary 8-OHdG levels at lag0-2 days (cumulative effects). Each ln-unit increase in ∑OH-PAHs corresponded to a 36%, 26% or 46% increase in urinary 8-OHdG levels in cold season at lag0 day, lag1 day or lag2 day as well as a 36% increase in urinary 8-OHdG in warm season at lag0 day. Distributed non-linear cumulative lag models (DLNMs) indicated that each ln-unit increase in ∑OH-PAHs within the range of 5.7-8.1 nmol/mmol Cr had a stronger effect (coefficient β: 1.11-2.97 nmol/mmol Cr) on urinary 8-OHdG rather than non-cumulative DLNMs (coefficient β: 1.08-1.43 nmol/mmol Cr) as well as the non-linear dose-response relationships of ∑OH-PAHs with urinary 8-OHdG. PAHs exposure exhibited the lagged and cumulative effects on urinary 8-OHdG levels.

Heart rate variability mediates the association between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exposure and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk in coke oven workers. CHEMOSPHERE 2019; 228:166-173. [PMID: 31029962 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.04.101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2018] [Revised: 04/02/2019] [Accepted: 04/13/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) metabolites was related to heart rate variability (HRV) reduction and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and ASCVD was also affected by HRV. However, the mediating role of HRV in the association between PAHs exposure and ASCVD risk was largely unknown. We aimed to investigate whether the relation of PAHs exposure with ASCVD risk was mediated by HRV among coke oven workers. A total of 1100 subjects with complete data were qualified in the current study. We measured 12 urinary PAHs metabolites by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and HRV indices by 3-channel digital Holter monitors. The associations between urinary PAHs metabolites, HRV indices, and ASCVD risk were explored using generalized linear models or multivariate logistic regression models. A mediation analysis was conducted to examine the role of HRV on the association between PAHs exposure and ASCVD risk. We found that urinary 1-hydroxynaphthalene (1-OHNa), 2-OHNa, and total PAH metabolites (ΣOH-PAH) were dose-responsive associated with increased risk of ASCVD. Compared with lowest quartile, the adjusted odds ratio (OR) for ASCVD risk in the highest quartile were 2.36 for 1-OHNa, 6.58 for 2-OHNa, and 1.60 for ΣOH-PAH (all Ptrend<0.05). In addition, significant dose-dependent relationships were found across 2-OHNa quartiles with decreasing HRV indices, which in turn, were positively associated with elevated risk of ASCVD (all Ptrend<0.05). Mediation analyses indicated that HRV mediate 2.7%-4.3% of the association between 2-OHNa exposure and higher ASCVD risk. Our data suggested that occupational exposure to PAHs may increase ASCVD risk, which was partially mediated by HRV.

Abstract
Human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been considered a risk determinant for the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess expression levels of vascular-related miRNAs, miR-126, miR-155, and miR-145, in plasma from women (aged 19-81 years) exposed (n = 100) and non-exposed (n = 20) to PAHs via biomass combustion smoke.1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) was determined in urine as a biomarker of exposure to PAHs using high-resolution liquid chromatography. Plasma expression levels of proposed miRNAs were determined by quantitative real-time PCR. Additionally, traditional risk factors (age, blood pressure, serum lipid profile, blood glucose, and among others) associated with CVD were evaluated. Urinary 1-OHP concentrations and plasma expression levels of miR-126 and miR-155 were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in women using wood as a fuel source in their homes (indoor) compared to women from the reference group (non-exposed to biomass smoke). Besides, multivariate linear regression analyses revealed that miR-126[β = 0.61; 95% confidence interval (0.32-0.90)] and miR-155 [β = 0.45; 95% confidence interval (0.13-0.84)] expression levels were significantly associated with urinary 1-OHP concentrations after being adjusted by traditional risk factors (P < 0.05). In contrast, no significant relationship was found between miR-145 and urinary 1-OHP levels. Furthermore, miRNAs assessed in this investigation are associated with CVD events. Consequently, actions to reduce exposure to PAHs in the evaluated population are warranted. Environ. Mol. Mutagen. 60:546-558, 2019. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate circulating expression levels of three miRNAs (miR-126, miR-155, and miR-145) proposed as predictive CVD biomarkers in Mexican women exposed to inorganic arsenic via drinking water. Mean UAs concentration of 19.5 ± 14.0 μg/g creatinine was found after urine samples were analyzed (n = 105). Significant associations between UAs levels and serum expression levels of miR-155 (p < 0.05) and miR-126 (p < 0.05) were observed after adjustment for assessed co-variables. Alterations in the serum expression levels of miR-155 and miR-126 may be associated with the onset and development of cardiovascular diseases, hence miRNAs could be proposed as prognostic CVD biomarkers. Data found in this study are of concern and risk reduction plans are necessary for the assessed communities to prevent cardiovascular events in this population of women.

Abstract
In this research, a new approach for extraction and determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from sea and rain water samples was developed by implementing a superhydrophobic substrate and consuming the least amount of solvent. This version of solvent-supported microextraction enabled us to perform the procedure in the immersion mode with the slightest troubles arising from water leakage into the gas chromatography. The superhydrophobic property leads to the fixation of extracting solvent on the substrate surface during water sampling. To prepare a superhydrophobic substrate, a piece of melamine foam was coated by tannic acid and silica nanoparticles using methyltrimethoxysilane and tetramethyl orthosilicate. The morphology of the prepared foams was studied by scanning electron microscopy. The developed solvent-supported microextraction method in combination with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was applied to the isolation and determination of some typical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from aquatic media. Influential parameters such as substrate nature, extractive solvent, eluting solvent and its quantity and extraction time were investigated. The limits of detection and quantification of the method under the optimized conditions were 0.01-0.11 µg L-1 and 0.03-1.01 µg L-1, respectively. The relative standard deviations at the concentration level of 20 µg L-1 were between 3% and 14% (n = 3). The linearity of calibration curves ranged from 0.03 to 60 µg L-1. The implementation of the solvent-supported method to the analysis of real water samples was quite successful and the relative recoveries were between 88% and 107%.
