[PMID: 39241606 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.117002] [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: 06/29/2024] [Revised: 08/31/2024] [Accepted: 09/01/2024] [Indexed: 09/09/2024]
Abstract
Club cell secretory protein (CC16) is considered a biological marker indicating lung epithelial and lung permeability. The joint effect of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure on CC16 levels and the association between CC16 levels and long-term lung function changes lacks epidemiological evidence. To investigate the effect of PAHs exposure on plasma CC16 levels and the association between CC16 levels and long-term lung function changes, this study enrolled 307 coke oven workers in 2014, measured their baseline concentrations of urinary PAHs metabolites and plasma CC16, with follow-up after nine years. Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) was employed to analyze the effect of mixed PAHs metabolites. The dose-effect association between baseline CC16 levels and lung function during 2014-2023 was explored using restricted cubic spline (RCS) models, and stratified analysis investigated the effect modification of PAHs exposure and smoking status on this association. The median age of the participants was 40 years, with 93.81 % male. The results showed that plasma CC16 levels decreased by 2.02 ng/mL (95 % CI: -3.77, -0.27) among all participants and FVC (% predicted) decreased by 2.87 % (95 % CI: -5.59, -0.14) in the low CC16 group with each unit increase in log-transformed 2-OHNAP. The BKMR model revealed a negative association between PAHs metabolites and both plasma CC16 levels and FVC (% predicted). Plasma CC16 decreased by 1.05 units when all PAHs metabolites at P65 compared to those at P50. After 9 years of follow-up, baseline CC16 levels were significantly associated with follow-up FVC (% predicted), FEV1 (% predicted), and small airway dysfunction risk. Furthermore, high PAHs exposure and smoking enhanced the association between CC16 and lung function. In conclusion, PAHs exposure decreases CC16 levels, and coking workers with low baseline CC16 levels may experience more severe future lung function decline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cobalt (Co) is a metal which is widely used in the industrial production. The previous studies found the toxic effects of environmental Co exposure on multiple organs. However, the correlation of blood Co concentration with lung function was inconsistent in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS All 771 stable COPD patients were recruited. Peripheral blood and clinical information were collected. The levels of blood Co and serum CC16 were measured. RESULTS Cross-sectional study suggested that the level of blood Co was inversely and dose-dependently related to lung function parameters. Each 1 ppm elevation of blood Co was related to 0.598 L decline in FVC, 0.465 L decline in FEV1, 6.540% decline in FEV1/FVC%, and 14.013% decline in FEV1%, respectively. Moreover, higher age, enrolled in winter, current-smoking, higher smoking amount, and inhaled corticosteroids prominently exacerbated the negative correlation between blood Co and lung function. Besides, serum CC16 content was gradually reduced with blood Co elevation in COPD patients. Besides, serum CC16 was positively correlated with lung function, and inversely related to blood Co. Additionally, decreased CC16 substantially mediated 11.45% and 6.37% Co-triggered downregulations in FEV1 and FEV1%, respectively. CONCLUSION Blood Co elevation is closely related to the reductions of pulmonary function and serum CC16. CC16 exerts a significantly mediating role of Co-related to pulmonary function decrease among COPD patients.

Abstract
Particulate matter (PM) exposure could alter the risk of tuberculosis, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. We enrolled 132 pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients and 30 controls. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples were collected from all participants to detect organochlorine pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, metal elements, and DNA methylation of immunity-related genes. We observed that γ-HCH, Bap, Sr, Ag, and Sn were related to an increased risk of PTB, while Cu and Ba had a negative effect. IFN-γ, IL-17A, IL-2, and IL-23 had a higher level in the PTB group, while IL-4 was lower. The methylation of 18 CpG sites was statistically associated with PTB risk. The methylation at the IL-4_06_121 site showed a significant mediating role on γ-HCH, Sr, and Sn. Our study suggests that PM exposure can increase the risk of tuberculosis by affecting DNA methylation and cytokine expression.

Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in outdoor air and respiratory health, inflammation and oxidative stress biomarkers: A panel study in healthy young adults. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 899:165582. [PMID: 37467979 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.165582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 07/15/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can be associated with different types of health effects. However, the systemic changes of health effects between fluctuations of PAHs exposure have not been established. In this study, urinary hydroxylated PAHs (OH-PAHs) and 12 biomarkers were determined among 36 students from the urban to the suburb in Taiyuan in 2019. The concentration of Σ12OH-PAHs in urban areas (28.2 and 21.4 μg/g Cr) was significantly higher than that in suburban area (16.8 μg/g Cr). The regression showed that hydroxy-phenanthrene (OH-Phe, 1/2/3/4/9-OH-Phe) was significantly positively correlated with lung function (PEF25 and PEF50), 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO). Moreover, there were negative associations of 2-hydroxyfluorene (2-OH-Flu) with FVC and FEV1. 1 unit increase of 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OH-Pyr) was negatively associated with 18.8% FVC, 17.3% FEV1, and 26.4% PEF25 in the suburban location, respectively. During urban2, each unit change of 2-OH-Flu was associated with 10.9% FVC and 10.5% FEV1 decrease, which were higher than those in suburban location. 8-OHdG decreased by 32.0% with each unit increase in 3-hydroxyfluorene (3-OH-Flu) during urban2 (p < 0.05), while 1.9% in the suburban location. During the suburban period, the increase in OH-Phe was correlated with the decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA). The respiratory damage caused by PAHs in the urban disappeared after backing to the urban from the suburban area. Notably, despite the total significant liner mixed regression association of FeNO with multiple OH-PAHs, the association of FeNO with OH-PAHs was not significant during different periods except for 2-OH-Flu. Our findings suggested that short-term exposure to different concentrations of PAHs might cause changes in health effects and called for further research to investigate possible alterations between health effects and PAH exposure.

Carbon disulfide exposure induced lung function reduction partly through oxidative protein damage: A cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 454:131464.

Abstract
Carbon disulfide (CS2) exposure has been associated with lung function reduction in occupational population. However, evidence on the general population with relatively low CS2 exposure is lacking and the mechanism involved remains largely unknown. Urinary CS2 metabolite (2-mercaptothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, TTCA) and lung function were determined in the urban adults from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort at baseline in 2011-2012 and were repeated every 3 years. Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between TTCA and lung function were estimated using linear mixed models. Inflammation and oxidative damage biomarkers in blood/urine were measured to evaluate their potential mediating roles involved. Cross-sectionally, participants in the highest quartile of TTCA level showed a 0.64% reduction in FEV1/FVC and a -308.22 mL/s reduction in PEF, compared to those in the lowest quartile. Longitudinally, participants with consistently high TTCA level had annually -90.27 mL/s decline in PEF, compared to those with consistently low TTCA level. Mediation analysis revealed that plasma protein carbonyl mediated 49.89% and 22.10% of TTCA-associated FEV1/FVC and PEF reductions, respectively. Conclusively, there was a cross-sectional and longitudinal association between CS2 exposure and lung function reduction in the general urban adults, and protein carbonylation (oxidative protein damage) partly mediated lung function reduction from CS2 exposure.

Abstract
Exposure to metals is associated with lung function decline. However, limited data are available about effects of co-exposure of metals on lung function. Additionally, the mechanism of the association between metals and lung function remains unclear. We conducted a longitudinal panel study in 2017-2018 among 45 healthy college students. Urinary 15 metals, lung function, biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation of participants were measured. Linear mixed effect (LME) and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) models were applied to explore the associations of urinary metals and mixture with lung function. Furthermore, we analyzed the mediating effect of biomarkers in the association between urinary metals and lung function. LME models showed the negative associations of aluminum (Al), vanadium (V), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd) or antimony (Sb) with Forced vital capacity (FVC), and V, Co, Ni, and Sb with Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). BKMR models indicated the overall effect of metals mixture was negatively associated with FEV1 and FVC; urinary Sb was identified as the major contributor to decreased FVC and FEV1. Urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine mediated the association of Al, Mn, or Sb with FVC and the relationship of V with FEV1. The results revealed the longitudinal dose-response relationships of urinary metals with pulmonary function among healthy adults. Oxidative stress may be the underlying mechanisms of metals exposure associated with decreased lung function. Due to the small sample size, the interpretation of the results of this study should be cautious, and more studies are needed to verify the findings of this study.

[PMID: 36334377 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijheh.2022.114058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 10/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and tobacco smoke is associated with epithelial damage and reduced lung function. Club cell secretory protein (CC16) is a known biomarker for lung epithelial cells. However, the potential relationships between PAH and tobacco smoke exposure, CC16 levels, and reduced lung function remain unclear. OBJECTIVES This longitudinal study aimed to explore the potential role of CC16 in the association of tobacco smoke and PAH co-exposure with lung function. METHODS We enrolled 313 workers from a coking plant in China in 2014 and followed them up in 2019. The concentrations of PAH and nicotine metabolites in urine were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a fluorescence detector and HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry, respectively. The plasma CC16 concentration was determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS An analysis of the generalized estimating equation showed that each 1-unit increase in log-transformation of the last tertile of trans-3'-hydroxycotinine (3HC) was associated with a 3.30 ng/ml decrease in CC16. Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed a significant nonlinear dose-effect association between cotinine (COT) and CC16 (Pnonlinear = 0.018). In the low- CC16 subgroup, we found a significant association between total nicotine metabolites and forced vital capacity (FVC%) (β: 1.45, 95% CI: 2.87, -0.03), and the associations of nicotine (NIC), COT, and 3HC with FVC% were all of marginal significance. High levels of total hydroxyl polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (ΣOH-PAH) and NIC in the urine had an interactive effect on the decline of CC16 (P < 0.05). Cross-lagged panel analysis indicated that the decrease in CC16 preceded the decrease in FVC%. CC16 mediated the association between elevated nicotine metabolites and decreased FVC% in the low- CC16 subgroup. CONCLUSIONS CC16 plays an essential role in the association of PAH and tobacco smoke exposure with reduced lung function. Coke oven workers with low plasma CC16 levels are more likely to experience decreased lung function after tobacco smoke exposure.

Abstract
As a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, environmental exposure to phenanthrene is widespread worldwide. The potential effects and mechanism of phenanthrene exposure on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) have not been well determined. In this study, we aim to explore the effects of phenanthrene exposure and AMER3 variants on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) through a longitudinal epidemiological study. Repeated measurements of five urinary hydroxyphenanthrene (OHPh) for 5739 participants with 7083 observations from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort were performed to analyze the relationships between total OHPh (ΣOHPh) and FPG using linear mixed models and restricted cubic spline functions. Then, we genotyped 2777 participants (4104 observations) using the Infinium OmniZhongHua-8 BeadChip and included all 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the AMER3 gene to analyze the interaction of the AMER3 on the relationship between ΣOHPh and FPG. We observed a U-shaped relationship between ΣOHPh and FPG, and the turning point of ΣOHPh was 2.512 μg/mmol Cr. When lower than the turning point, ΣOHPh was negatively associated with FPG, while higher than the turning point, ΣOHPh was positively associated with FPG. Furthermore, we observed interactions (Pint <0.05) between two common variants (rs72854995 and rs72854999) of the AMER3 and ΣOHPh on FPG change: the U-shaped relationship was still observed in the GG genotype groups but not in the allele A carriers. Our results suggested that the AMER3 gene can modify the U-shaped relationship between phenanthrenes exposure and FPG, which showed a new gene-environment interaction and will provide a new perspective on the relationship between phenanthrene exposure and FPG.

Abstract
Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was associated with DNA damage, while the roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the associations were unclear. We aimed to assess the association of lncRNA NR_024564 with urinary monohydroxy PAHs (OH-PAHs) and DNA damage among 332 coke oven workers. We determined 12 OH-PAHs by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the expression level of NR_024564 by droplet digital RT-PCR and DNA damage by the comet assay. In total participants, we found that NR_024564 was not significantly associated with OH-PAHs or comet parameters. However, among workers with ≥ 20 working years, multiple OH-PAHs including urinary 1-hydroxyphenanthrene (1-OHPh), 2-OHPh, 3-OHPh, 9-OHPh, 1‑hydroxypyrene, and total PAH metabolites were related to increased comet parameters. Moreover, NR_024564 was significantly associated with 2-OHPh and four comet parameters. Each 1% increase in 2-OHPh was associated with 0.35% reduction (95% CI: 0.16%, 0.55%) in NR_024564 (P-FDR = 0.005), and 2-OHPh was marginally interacted with working years in relation to NR_024564 decrease. Also, each 1% increment of NR_024564 was related to 0.04-0.13% decrease of Olive tail moment, percent DNA in the comet tail, tail length, and tail moment (all P-FDR < 0.05). Furthermore, low NR_024564 level combined with high levels of 1-OHPh and 2-OHPh or ≥ 20 working years was positively associated with the comet parameters among the total participants. Our results indicated that NR_024564 might be linked to the adverse associations of PAHs with the DNA damage of coke oven workers who worked for ≥ 20 years.

Abstract
Wnt5a is a key mediator of non-canonical Wnt signaling, and an early indicator of epithelial injury and lung dysfunction. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) could induce acute pulmonary pathogenesis, of which the underlying mechanism remains unclear. To elucidate the potential role of Wnt5a-mediated non-canonical Wnt-YAP/TAZ signaling in the lung injury induced by short-term exposure of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP, a representative PAHs), intratracheally instilled mouse model was used and further interfered with its Wnt5a level by small molecule antagonists and agonists. Our data revealed that BaP exposure induced the lung inflammatory response and reduced the expression of Clara cell secretory protein (CC16) in a dose-dependent manner. More importantly, the activation of Wnt5a and downstream YAP/TAZ were accompanied with the enhanced release of epithelial-derived thymic stromal lymphopoietin and interleukin-33, which acted as pro-inflammatory cytokines. Functionally, inhibition of Wnt5a attenuated the BaP-induced inflammation and recuperated CC16 expression, as well as suppressed the epithelial cytokines release. Whereas promoting Wnt5a expression affected the toxic effects of BaP oppositely. Our findings together suggest that Wnt5a is a potential endogenous regulator in lung inflammation and airway epithelial injury, and Wnt5a-YAP/TAZ signaling contributes to lung dysfunction in acute exposure to BaP.

Abstract
Individuals with abnormal fasting plasma glucose (FPG) may be more susceptible to lung diseases associated with environmental pollutants. A cross-sectional survey of 629 workers in 2017 and a panel study of 304 workers from 2014 to 2019 were performed in China. The results showed that elevated total hydroxylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (ΣOH-PAH) concentration was associated with lower the percentage of predicted forced vital capacity (FVC%) among high-FPG workers (β for the cross-sectional analysis: -1.78%, 95%CI: -2.92%, -0.64%; β for the panel study: -1.10%, 95%CI: -2.19%, -0.02%). The absolute value of the cross-lagged path coefficient from FPG to FVC% (β2 = -0.096) was significantly greater than that from FVC% to FPG (β1 = 0.037). Our results suggest that FPG abnormalities may precede the lung function decline induced by PAH exposure and that high-FPG and high ΣOH-PAH levels have an interactive effect on lung function decline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is fast-growing epidemiologic evidence of the effects of environmental chemicals on respiratory health. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been linked with airway obstruction common in asthma and/or asthma exacerbation, and chronic bronchitis and emphysema. OBJECTIVES A systematic review of the association between exposure to PAHs and obstructive lung diseases is not yet available. The present systematic review aims to evaluate the evidence available in epidemiological studies that have associated PAHs with obstructive lung diseases such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema. METHODS We performed a systematic literature search on PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases using relevant keywords and guided by predesigned eligibility criteria. RESULTS From the total of 30 articles reviewed, 16 articles examined the link between PAHs and lung function in both adults and children. Twelve articles investigated the association between PAHs and asthma, asthma biomarkers, and/or asthma symptoms in children. Two articles studied the relationship between PAHs and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), a biomarker of airway inflammation and the relationship between PAHs and obstructive lung diseases and infections, respectively. One study assessed exposure to daily ambient PAHs and cough occurrence. DISCUSSION Twenty-seven studies found an association between PAHs and asthma and reduced lung function. In children it is reinforced by studies on prenatal and postnatal exposure, whereas in adults, reductions in lung function tests marked by low forced expiratory volume in 1 second, (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and forced expiratory flow (FEF25-75%) were the major health outcomes. Some studies recorded contrasting results: insignificant and/or no association between the two variables of interest. The studies reviewed had limitations ranging from small sample size, to the use of cross-sectional rather than longitudinal study design. CONCLUSIONS The literature reviewed in the present study largely suggest positive correlations between PAHs and obstructive lung diseases marked mainly by asthma and reduced respiratory function. This review was registered with PROSPERO (Registration no: CRD42020212894). COMPETING INTERESTS The authors declare no competing financial interests.

Abstract
Airborne particulate matter (PM) is a complex mixture containing various kinds of harmful components. Exposure to air PM is associated with childhood respiratory disease, but epidemiological data are limited concerning the circulating respiratory injury protein on the etiology of childhood respiratory disease. Specifically, the role of PM toxic components or its biological effective dose (adduct) in respiratory injury remains unclear. To demonstrate the dose-response relationship and the main mechanism on circulating club cell secretory protein (CC16) from PM compositions among children, we enrolled 273 boarding schoolchildren in China, including 110 and 163 children of whom were in the low- and high-PM exposed areas, respectively. In this study, we measured the internal exposure levels, including serum polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) adduct, urinary metals, and AhR expression, and detected the serum CC16 level as a lung injury marker. Environmental tobacco exposure in children was assessed by urinary cotinine. We found that significantly higher levels of serum CC16, benzo[a]pyridin-7,8-dihydroglycol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE)-albumin adduct, urinary molybdenum, selenium, arsenic, cadmium and barium, and lower level of AhR expression in high-PM exposed group. There was a good association between serum BPDE-albumin adduct and CC16 (β = 0.222, P = 0.006). There was no association on urinary metals and serum CC16. BPDE-albumin adduct was directly associated with serum CC16 alternation [direct effect = 0.2044, 95% confidence interval (CI) = (0.0426, 0.36)]. PM could cause serum CC16 increased in children. PAH and its adduct might play a key role in lung injury during PM exposure.

Kuang H, Liu J, Zeng Y, Zhou W, Wu P, Tan J, Li Y, Pang Q, Jiang W, Fan R. Co-exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene and toluene may impair lung function by increasing oxidative damage and airway inflammation in asthmatic children. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2020; 266:115220. [PMID: 32707352 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.115220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2020] [Revised: 07/05/2020] [Accepted: 07/07/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
As previous studies found that the direct associations between urinary polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), benzene and toluene (BT) metabolites and the decreased lung function were not conclusive, we further investigated relationship of oxidative damage and airway inflammation induced by PAHs and BTs exposure with lung function. A total of 262 children diagnosed with asthma and 72 heathy children were recruited. Results showed that asthmatic children had higher levels of PAHs and BTs exposure, as well as Malonaldehyde (MDA) and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) compared with healthy children. Furthermore, binary logistic regression showed that each unit increases in level of urinary 2-&3-hydroxyfluorene (2-&3-OHF), 2-hydroxyphenanthrene (2-OHPhe), 1-hydroxyphenanthrene (1-OHP) and S-phenylmercapturic acid (S-PMA) were significantly associated with an elevated risk of asthma in children with odds ratios of 1.5, 2.3, 1.7 and 1.4, respectively, suggesting that PAHs and BTs exposure could increase the risk of asthma for children. Neither PAH nor BT metabolite could comprehensively indicate the decreased lung function as only 2-&3-OHF and 1-OHP were significantly and negatively correlated with forced vital capacity (FVC). Moreover, levels of most individual PAH and BT metabolite were significantly correlated to MDA and 8-OHdG. Further hierarchical regression analysis indicated that MDA and 8-OHdG levels did not show significant effects on the decreased lung function, suggesting that they are not the suitable biomarkers to indirectly indicate the altered lung function induced by PAHs and BTs. Urinary 2-OHPhe and 1-&9-hydroxyphenanthrene (1-&9-OHPhe) were significantly correlated with fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO). Moreover, FeNO significantly contributed to decreased lung function and explained 7.7% of variance in ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and FVC (FEV1/FVC%). Hence, FeNO, rather than oxidative damage indicators or any urinary PAH and BT metabolite, is more sensitive to indirectly reflect the decreased lung function induced by PAHs and BTs exposure for asthmatic children.

Reduction of mitochondrial DNA copy number in peripheral blood is related to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exposure in coke oven workers: Bayesian kernel machine regression. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2020; 260:114026. [PMID: 32006885 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.114026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2019] [Revised: 01/04/2020] [Accepted: 01/19/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Although association between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure and mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) was researched by traditional linear model extensively, most of these studies analyzed independent effect of each PAHs metabolite and adjust for the confounding other metabolites concomitantly, without considering others interactions. As a complex organic pollutant, a reasonable statistical method is needed to study toxic effects of PAHs. Therefore, we aimed to conduct a novel statistical approach, Bayesian Kernel Machine Regression (BKMR), to explore the effect of PAHs exposure on mtDNAcn among coke oven workers. In this cross-sectional study, the concentrations urinary of PAHs metabolites were measured using high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). The mtDNAcn was measured using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in peripheral blood of 696 Chinese coke oven workers. The relationship of urinary of PAHs metabolites and mtDNAcn were evaluated by BKMR model. And the results showed a significant negative effect of PAHs metabolites on mtDNAcn when PAHs metabolites concentrations were all above 35th percentile compared to the median and the statistically significant negative single-exposure effect of 2-OHNAP and 2-OHPHE on mtDNAcn when all of the other PAHs are fixed at a particular threshold (25th, 50th, 75th percentile). The changes in log 2-OHNAP and 2-OHPHE from the 25th to the 75th percentile when other PAHs metabolites were at the 50th percentile were associated with change in mtDNAcn of -0.082 (-0.021, -0.124) and -0.048 (-0.021, -0.090) respectively. And evidence of a linear effect of urinary 2-OHNAP and 2-OHPHE were found. Finally, our findings suggested that PAHs cumulative exposures and particularly single-exposure of 2-OHNAP and 2-OHPHE might compromise mitochondrial function by decreasing mtDNAcn in Chinese coke oven workers.

ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2020; 137:105521. [PMID: 32007688 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2020.105521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2019] [Revised: 12/26/2019] [Accepted: 01/22/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The lung has been reported to be one of the target organs of polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzo-furans (PCDD/Fs) in many toxicological studies. While the associations between PCDD/Fs exposure and lung function levels have not been investigated thoroughly. This study aimed to explore these associations and the potential mediating role of oxidative stress. In this study, 201 foundry workers and 222 non-exposed general residents were recruited from central China, and their lung function parameters were measured. Air and food samples were collected to determine the PCDD/Fs levels for individual PCDD/Fs exposure estimation. Serum PCDD/Fs levels were determined in a subgroup of individuals randomly selected from the study population to reflect the body burden. It was found that each 1-unit increase in ln-transformed concentration of PCDD/Fs exposure (fg TEQ/bw/day) was associated with a 0.47 L decrease in FVC and a 0.25 L decrease in FEV1. Each 1-unit increase in ln-transformed concentration of serum PCDD/Fs (fg TEQ/g lipid) was associated with a 0.36 L decrease in FVC and a 0.24 L decrease in FEV1. Urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was not only positively related to PCDD/Fs exposure, but also inversely associated with FVC and FEV1 are FVC (β = -0.15, 95% CI: -0.22 to -0.08) and FEV1 (β = -0.07, 95% CI: -0.13 to -0.02). Mediation analysis revealed that urinary 8-OHdG mediated 12.22% of the associations of external PCDD/Fs exposure with FVC levels, 28.61% and 27.87% of the associations of serum PCDD/Fs with FVC and FEV1 levels respectively. Our findings suggested that PCDD/Fs exposure was associated with decreased lung function levels by a mechanism partly involving oxidatively generated damage to DNA.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 386:121663. [PMID: 31784133 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.121663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2019] [Revised: 11/05/2019] [Accepted: 11/10/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and phthalates are linked to lung function decline and altered relative telomere length (RTL) accompanying with oxidative stress and inflammatory events in human body. However, limited data are available about impacts of co-exposure of PAHs and phthalates on lung function and RTL. We conducted a pilot study with repeated measures during the winter of 2014 and summer of 2015 in Wuhan city, China. Participants took part in the measures of lung function, RTL, urinary monohydroxylated-PAHs (OH-PAHs) and phthalate metabolites over three consecutive days in each season. Linear mixed-effect (LME) models and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) were used to analyze the relations of OH-PAHs or phthalate metabolites with lung function or RTL. LME models showed the negative associations of 3-day average of hydroxyphenanthrene (2 + 3-, 4-OHPhe) or 1-hydroxypyrene with FEV1, 3-day average of 2 + 3-OHPhe with FVC. BKMR models revealed the negative relation of eight OH-PAHs with FEV1, FVC or RTL; nine phthalate metabolites may counteract an overall effect of eight OH-PAHs on FEV1, FVC or RTL. The findings indicated that urinary phthalate metabolites may counteract the negative association of urinary OH-PAHs on FEV1 or FVC, which may be partially linked to shorter RTL regarding biological aging.

Abstract
Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (mLOY) is the most common structure somatic event that related to increased risks of various diseases and mortality. Environmental pollution and genetic susceptibility were important contributors to mLOY. We aimed to explore the associations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure, as well as their joint effects with age, smoking, and genetic variants on peripheral blood mLOY. A total of 1005 male coke-oven workers were included in this study and their internal PAHs exposure levels of 10 urinary PAH metabolites and plasma benzo[a]pyrene-r-7,t-8,t-9,c-10-tetrahydotetrol-albumin (BPDE-Alb) adducts were measured. mLOY was defined by the median log R ratio(mLRR) of 1480 probes in male-specific region of chromosome-Y from genotyping array. We found that the PAHs exposure levels were linearly associated with mLOY. A 10-fold increase in urinary 1-hydroxynaphthalene (1-OHNa), 1-hydroxyphenanthrene (1-OHPh), 2-OHPh, 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP), ΣOH-PAHs, and plasma BPDE-Alb adducts could generate 0.0111, 0.0085, 0.0069, 0.0103, 0.0134, and 0.0152 decrease in mLRR-Y, respectively. Additionally, mLOY accelerated with age, smoking pack-years, and TCL1A rs1122138-C allele, and we observed the most severe mLOY among subjects carrying more than 3 of the above risk factors. Our results revealed the linear dose-effect associations between PAHs exposure and mLOY. Elder male smokers carrying rs1122138CC genotype were the most susceptible subpopulations to mLOY, who should be given protections for PAHs exposure induced chromosome-Y aberration.

Abstract
To evaluate the effect of coal-burning arsenic (As) exposure on lung function and the potential underlying mechanisms, a total of 217 As-exposed subjects and 75 reference subjects were recruited into this study. Hair arsenic (H-As), pulmonary function tests, and serum inflammatory markers CC16, SP-A, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 were evaluated. Residents from As-exposed areas showed higher H-As concentrations (median 0.25 μg/g) than subjects from the reference area (median 0.14 μg/g). Large reductions in lung function parameters were noted in the As-exposed group. A significant negative correlation was observed between H-As concentrations and lung function. Specifically, monotonic negative dose-response relationships were observed between H-As and FEV1(%), FEV1/FVC (%) and FEF75 (%) (all P < 0.05), while the associations between H-As and FVC (%), FEF25 (%), and FEF50 (%) were nonlinear (P for nonlinearity = 0.03, 0.001, 0.01, respectively). In addition, there was a direct positive relationship between H-As and the inflammatory response. Alterations in inflammatory biomarkers (CC16, SP-A, MMP-9, and MMP-9/TIMP-1) were significantly associated with As-induced lung function impairment. Thus, this population-based study revealed that As exposure has significant toxic effects on lung function and increased inflammation may occur during this toxic process. We provide scientific evidence for an As-induced alteration in inflammatory biomarkers and pulmonary damage in an As-exposed population. The results of this study can inform risk assessment and risk control processes in relation to human As exposure in coal-burning arsenicosis areas.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2020; 258:113713. [PMID: 31818622 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2019.113713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2019] [Revised: 10/14/2019] [Accepted: 11/30/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Exposure to environmental metals has been reported to be associated with airway inflammation. Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is an important inflammatory biomarker of the airway. However, the associations between metal exposures and FeNO change and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To investigate the associations between urinary metals and FeNO, and the potential role of Club cell secretory protein (CC16), a lung epithelial biomarker, in these associations. We conducted a cross-sectional study from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort and measured eight urinary metals, plasma CC16 and FeNO among 3067 subjects by using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit and Nano Coulomb Nitric Oxide Analyzer, respectively. Mixed linear models were used to quantify dose-relationships between urinary metals and FeNO, as well as urinary metals and plasma CC16. The potential role of plasma CC16 in the associations between urinary metals and FeNO was estimated using mediationanalyses. After adjusting for covariates, one percent increase in urinary vanadium, nickel or antimony was associated with a respective 6.60% (95% CI: 3.52%, 9.68%), 2.18% (0.45%, 3.91%), 4.87% (1.47%, 8.27%) increase in FeNO level. The adverse associations were much stronger among participants with low concentration of plasma CC16 than those with high CC16 level. Moreover, plasma CC16 decreased monotonically with increasing quartiles of urinary vanadium, nickel or antimony. Mediation analyses found that CC16 mediated the associations between urinary metals and FeNO by 5.64%, 39.06% and 25.18% for vanadium, nickel and antimony respectively. CC16 plays an important role in airway inflammation. General population with lower plasma CC16 concentration is more likely to suffer from airway inflammation when exposed to high levels of vanadium, nickel or antimony.

Personal exposure to PM 2.5-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and lung function alteration: Results of a panel study in China. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2019; 684:458-465. [PMID: 31154218 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.05.328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2019] [Revised: 05/13/2019] [Accepted: 05/22/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure has been associated with lung function decline, but impact of PM2.5 constituents especially for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on lung function is unclear among community population. We enrolled 224 Chinese participants who participated in two study periods (2014-2015 and 2017-2018) of the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort as a panel, and quantified the associations of personal PM2.5 and sixteen PM2.5-bound PAHs with lung function levels as well as lung function change in three years by linear mixed models. Diagnostic ratios were calculated to identify potential sources of PM2.5-bound PAHs in Wuhan and Zhuhai separately. In single-constituent models, we found that each one interquartile-range increase of naphthalene, acenaphthene, fluoranthene and pyrene were associated with 26.82, 60.99, 45.25 and 23.37 mL decline in FVC respectively; while fluoranthene and pyrene were associated with 27.43 and 15.49 mL decline in FEV1 respectively. Similar results were observed in consitituent-PM2.5 joint models and single-constituent residual models. Persistently long-term high levels of three HMW-PAHs (benzo[a]anthracene, dibenzo[a,h]anthracene, and benzo[ghi]perylene) were associated with 214.65, 226.13, and 265.00 mL decline in FVC decline in three years, compared with persistently low exposure level groups. The associations were different between Wuhan and Zhuhai. The results of diagnostic ratios suggested the differences in PAH emissions between two cities. Our findings provide evidence that both short- and long-term PM2.5-bound PAH exposures might affect lung function.

Abstract
This study assesses the effects of long-term exposure to ambient air pollutants on inflammatory response and lung function. We selected 390 male coke oven workers with exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and 115 control workers. The average duration in the exposed group was 9.10 years. The total amount of PAHs was more enriched in PM2.5 which collected from the coke oven workshops compared with the control areas. Correspondingly, the internal PAHs exposure indicated by urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) in the exposure group increased 25.7-fold compared to that of the control group. Moreover, the increasing level of urinary 1-OHP was associated with the decrease of forced expiratory volume in 1 s to forced vital capacity ratio (FEV1/FVC). In non-current smokers of exposure group, inverse correlation of 1-OHP with FEV1/FVC was also found. Particularly, an exposure duration-dependent decline in FEV1/FVC and mean forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of forced vital capacity (FEF25-75%) indicated that small airways were functionally obstructed. Furthermore, the increasing serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) was correlated with the decline in pulmonary function in all subjects. These findings provide a clue that long-term exposure to PAHs-enriched PM2.5 impairs pulmonary function in occupational population.
