Abstract
In the process of tooth development, the interaction between genetic information, epigenetic inheritance, and environment jointly affects the teeth formation. At present, the mechanism of dental fluorosis is rarely studied from transcriptomics, and there is no report on epigenetic perspective. In the study, SD rats were randomly divided into dental fluorosis group and control group fed with NaF (150 mg/L) or distilled water for 8 weeks. After 3.5 days of birth, the RNAs or DNA of rat mandibular molars were detected by RNA-seq or MethylTarget, respectively. The results demonstrated that a total of 1723 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 2511 differential expression lncRNAs (DE-lncRNAs) were mainly involved in the ion channels, calcium ion transport, and immunomodulatory signaling pathways. ATP2C1 and Nr1d1, which were related to Ca2+ transport, cellular calcium homeostasis, endoplasmic reticulum stress and immunity, may be the key genes in the formation of dental fluorosis. Notably, we also found that the immune response plays an important role in the formation of dental fluorosis, and a large amount of DEGs was enriched in immune regulation and NF-κB signaling pathways. Furthermore, the methylation levels of 13 sites were increased in Ago4, Atf3, Atp2c1, Dusp1, Habp4, and Mycl, while methylation levels of 5 CpG sites decreased in Ago4, Atp2c1, Habp4, and Traf6, and conformably, the expression of these genes have been significantly changed. This study comprehensively analyzed the occurrence mechanism of dental fluorosis from transcriptomics and epigenetics, so as to provide theoretical reference for further research.

Abstract
Fluorosis causes female reproductive dysfunction with reduced fertility without established pathogenesis. To clarify the mechanism, Sprague-Dawley female rats were selected with drinking water containing 0, 50 (low), 100 (moderate), and 150 mg/L (high) sodium fluoride (NaF) for a short (2 months), medium (4 months), and long term (6 months). The water consumption and body weight of female rats were recorded daily. The effect of NaF on the estrous cycle was examined by vaginal smears and recorded in different term treatments. Female and male rats were mated in a 2:1 ratio for 1 week at 2-, 4-, and 6-month treatment time for mating performance and fertility rate. Selected female rats were executed for tissue and blood collection at different treatment terms. Twenty-four-hour urine sample from each female rat was collected using the metabolic cage. The levels of steroid hormones and silent information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) in serum were measured by appropriate ELISA kits. Body weight of the high NaF group was significantly less during short-term treatment than that of other treatment groups or control group. Urinary fluoride concentration was increased linearly with treatment time. Treatment of NaF significantly decreased steroid hormone level while increased SIRT1 level in the serum. In addition, NaF treatment significantly decreased pregnancy rate. It is concluded that NaF inhibits the secretion of hormone and estradiol (E2) release from the ovary, thereby reducing the rate of pregnant. SIRT1 may be involved in this NaF-induced reproductive dysfunction in female rats through regulating reproductive hormone, FSH, and LH secretion.

Abstract
Fluoride, one of the global groundwater contaminants, is ubiquitous in our day-to-day life from various natural and anthropogenic sources. Numerous in vitro, in vivo, and epidemiological studies are conducted to understand the effect of fluoride on biological systems. A low concentration of fluoride is reported to increase oral health, whereas chronic exposure to higher concentrations causes fluoride toxicity (fluorosis). It includes dental fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, and fluoride toxicity in soft tissues. The mechanism of fluoride toxicity has been reviewed extensively. However, epigenetic regulation in fluoride toxicity has not been reviewed. This systematic review summarizes the current knowledge regarding fluoride-induced epigenetic toxicity in the in vitro, in vivo, and epidemiological studies in mammalian systems. We examined four databases for the association between epigenetics and fluoride exposure. Out of 932 articles (as of 31 March 2022), 39 met our inclusion criteria. Most of the studies focused on different genes, and overall, preliminary evidence for epigenetic regulation of fluoride toxicity was identified. We further highlight the need for epigenome studies rather than candidate genes and provide recommendations for future research. Our results indicate a correlation between fluoride exposure and epigenetic processes. Further studies are warranted to elucidate and confirm the mechanism of epigenetic alterations mediated fluoride toxicity.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2022; 235:113362. [PMID: 35306215 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.113362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Revised: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Numerous microRNAs participate in regulating the pathological process of autophagy. We have found miR-296-5p is one of the most significantly down-regulated microRNAs in a high concentration of sodium fluoride. However, it is not clear whether miR-296-5p augments autophagy in dental fluorosis. Our purpose is to explore the function of miR-296-5p in regulating autophagy of excessive fluoride development. Thus, the cell line of ameloblasts LS8 was exposed to a 1.5 mM dose of NaF and miR-296-5p-mimics, Real-time qPCR, CCK-8 assays, Fluorescence imaging and Western blot analysis were performed. Autophagy was observed. As our results indicated, miR-296-5p overexpression in mouse LS8 cells significantly accelerated autophagy. The autophagy inhibition effect of miR-296-5p underexpression was consistent with the effect of the AMPK inhibitor. And we found that the expression of LC3II was decreased via down-regulation of AMPK. The change of ULK1 by miR-296-5p may be accomplished through AMPK. Thus, miR-296-5p may improve the secretion of autophagic mediators by activating AMPK/ULK1 expression in fluorosis, suggesting that miR-296-5p, AMPK/ULK1 may be potential therapeutic targets under the higher fluoride stimulation.

Abstract
Amelogenesis imperfecta is a congenital form of enamel hypoplasia. Although a number of genetic mutations have been reported in humans, the regulatory network of these genes remains mostly unclear. To identify signatures of biological pathways in amelogenesis imperfecta, we conducted bioinformatic analyses on genes associated with the condition in humans. Through an extensive search of the main biomedical databases, we found 56 genes in which mutations and/or association/linkage were reported in individuals with amelogenesis imperfecta. These candidate genes were further grouped by function, pathway, protein–protein interaction, and tissue-specific expression patterns using various bioinformatic tools. The bioinformatic analyses highlighted a group of genes essential for extracellular matrix formation. Furthermore, advanced bioinformatic analyses for microRNAs (miRNAs), which are short non-coding RNAs that suppress target genes at the post-transcriptional level, predicted 37 candidates that may be involved in amelogenesis imperfecta. To validate the miRNA–gene regulation association, we analyzed the target gene expression of the top seven candidate miRNAs: miR-3195, miR-382-5p, miR-1306-5p, miR-4683, miR-6716-3p, miR-3914, and miR-3935. Among them, miR-1306-5p, miR-3195, and miR-3914 were confirmed to regulate ameloblast differentiation through the regulation of genes associated with amelogenesis imperfecta in AM-1 cells, a human ameloblastoma cell line. Taken together, our study suggests a potential role for miRNAs in amelogenesis imperfecta.
