J Environ Sci (China) 2025; 147:244-258. [PMID: 39003044 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2023.09.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 09/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
4-Nitrophenol (4-NP), as a toxic and refractory pollutant, has generated significant concern due to its adverse effects. However, the potential toxic effects and mechanism remained unclear. In this study, the reproduction, development, locomotion and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production of Caenorhabditis elegans were investigated to evaluate the 4-NP toxicity. We used metabolomics to assess the potential damage mechanisms. The role of metabolites in mediating the relationship between 4-NP and phenotypes was examined by correlation and mediation analysis. 4-NP (8 ng/L and 8 µg/L) caused significant reduction of brood size, ovulation rate, total germ cells numbers, head thrashes and body bends, and an increase in ROS. However, the oosperm numbers in uterus, body length and body width were decreased in 8 µg/L. Moreover, 36 differential metabolites were enriched in the significant metabolic pathways, including lysine biosynthesis, β-alanine metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, pentose phosphate pathway, pentose and glucuronate interconversions, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism, galactose metabolism, propanoate metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism, and estrogen signaling pathway. The mechanism of 4-NP toxicity was that oxidative stress caused by the perturbation of amino acid, which had effects on energy metabolism through disturbing carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and finally affected the estrogen signaling pathway to exert toxic effects. Moreover, correlation and mediation analysis showed glycerol-3P, glucosamine-6P, glucosamine-1P, UDP-galactose, L-aspartic acid, and uracil were potential markers for the reproduction and glucose-1,6P2 for developmental toxicity. The results provided insight into the pathways involved in the toxic effects caused by 4-NP and developed potential biomarkers to evaluate 4-NP toxicity.

Abstract
Hormones are indispensable for bone development, growth, and maintenance. While many of the genes associated with osteogenesis are well established, it is the recent findings in endocrinology that are advancing the fields of bone biology and toxicology. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are defined as chemicals that interfere with the function of the endocrine system. Here, we report recent discoveries describing key hormone pathways involved in osteogenesis and the EDCs that alter these pathways. EDCs can lead to bone morphological changes via altering hormone receptors, signaling pathways, and gene expression. The objective of this review is to highlight the recent discoveries of the harmful effects of environmental toxicants on bone formation and the pathways impacted. Understanding the mechanisms of how EDCs interfere with bone formation contributes to providing a comprehensive toxicological profile of a chemical.

Abstract
Two supported noble metal species, gold and palladium anchored on an ionic liquid-modified Fe-based metal-organic framework (MOF), were successfully synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, TEM, XPS, SEM, EDX, and elemental mapping. The ionic liquid post-modified MOF was used for anchoring Au or Pd at ppm levels, and the resulting materials were employed as catalysts in the reduction of nitrophenol isomers, dyes, and Sonogashira-Hagihara reactions. Using the Au@Fe-MOF-IL catalyst, reduction of nitrophenol isomers, as well as the reductive degradation of dyes, e.g., methylene blue (MB), methyl orange (MO), and methyl red (MR) were performed efficiently in water. On the other hand, Pd@Fe-MOF-IL was used as an effective catalyst in the Sonogashira-Hagihara coupling reaction of aryl iodides and bromides using very low amounts of Pd. These catalysts were recycled and reused for several runs without deteriorating remarkably in catalytic performance.

Abstract
3-Methyl-4-Nitrophenol (PNMC) is the main degradation product of organophosphate insecticide fenitrothion and a major component of diesel exhaust particles, which is now becoming a widely spread environmental endocrine disruptor. Previous reports showed PNMC exposure can affect the female reproductive system and ovarian function; however, the mechanism remains unclear. The main purpose of this study is to clarify the mechanism underlying the adverse effects of neonatal PNMC treatment on ovarian functions. The neonatal female mice were exposed to 10 mg/kg PNMC and the ovaries were collected on the 7th day after birth. The changes of follicular composition in mice ovaries were analyzed by histological staining, which showed that the proportion of primordial follicles in the ovaries treated by PNMC decreased, while the proportion of secondary follicles increased. The ovarian function was also investigated by detecting the expressions of steroidogenic enzymes (Star, Cyp11a1, Hsd3b1, Cyp17a1, Cyp19a1), gonadotropin receptors (Fshr and Lhr), androgen receptor (Ar), and estrogen receptors (Esr1 and Esr2) by immunohistochemistry or/and real-time quantitative PCR. The expression of Hsd3b1, Cyp17a1 and Esr2 were increased significantly in the PNMC exposed ovaries. Moreover, the expression patterns of clock genes (Bmal1, Clock, Per1, Per2, Cry1, Cry2 and Nr1d1) were disrupted in the ovaries after PNMC exposure. Furthermore, either the expression of DNA Methyltransferase Dnmt3b, or the methylation ratio of CpG islands in the upstream of Cry1 promoter regions were significantly decreased in PNMC exposed ovaries. Altogether, these results indicate that PNMC exposure affects follicle development and ovarian function by interfering with the epigenetic modification and disrupting the expression of clock genes.

Gene expression profiles of two testicular somatic cell lines respond differently to 4-nitrophenol mediating vary reproductive toxicity. Toxicology 2021; 463:152991.

Abstract
4-Nitrophenol (PNP) has been extensively used in manufacturing for several decades. Its toxic effects on the male reproductive system have been reported, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we utilized two testicular somatic cell lines (TM3 and TM4 cells) to explore the possible toxic effects of PNP on the male reproductive system. The activity of the cells after exposure to different doses of PNP (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 μM) was evaluated. PNP treatment at 10 μM significantly inhibited cell viability, and 10 μM PNP was thus selected for subsequent experiments. Although PNP (10 μM) inhibited cell proliferation, promoted cell apoptosis, and changed the cell cycle distribution and ultrastructure in both types of cells, these effects were more significant in the TM4 cells. In addition, an Agilent mouse mRNA array was used to identify the gene expression differences between the control and PNP (10 μM) exposed TM3 and TM4 cells. The microarray analysis identified 67 and 1372 differentially expressed genes mainly concentrated in endothelial cell morphogenesis and anatomical structure development in TM3 cells and associated with cardiovascular system development and circulatory system development in TM4 cells. Moreover, a pathway analysis revealed that PNP not only predominately affected meiotic recombination and meiosis in TM3 cells, but also influenced axon guidance and developmental biology in TM4 cells. These results suggest that TM3 and TM4 cells exhibit different responses to PNP, which might mediate different toxic mechanisms.

Abstract
Phenol and its derivatives are hazardous, teratogenic and mutagenic, and have gained significant attention in recent years due to their high toxicity even at low concentrations. Phenolic compounds appear in petroleum refinery wastewater from several sources, such as the neutralized spent caustic waste streams, the tank water drain, the desalter effluent and the production unit. Therefore, effective treatments of such wastewaters are crucial. Conventional techniques used to treat these wastewaters pose several drawbacks, such as incomplete or low efficient removal of phenols. Recently, biocatalysts have attracted much attention for the sustainable and effective removal of toxic chemicals like phenols from wastewaters. The advantages of biocatalytic processes over the conventional treatment methods are their ability to operate over a wide range of operating conditions, low consumption of oxidants, simpler process control, and no delays or shock loading effects associated with the start-up/shutdown of the plant. Among different biocatalysts, oxidoreductases (i.e., tyrosinase, laccase and horseradish peroxidase) are known as green catalysts with massive potentialities to sustainably tackle phenolic contaminants of high concerns. Such enzymes mainly catalyze the o-hydroxylation of a broad spectrum of environmentally related contaminants into their corresponding o-diphenols. This review covers the latest advancement regarding the exploitation of these enzymes for sustainable oxidation of phenolic compounds in wastewater, and suggests a way forward.

Abstract
Recently, the development of eco-friendly, cost-effective and reliable methods for synthesis of metal nanoparticles has drawn a considerable attention. The so-called green synthesis, using mild reaction conditions and natural resources as plant extracts and microorganisms, has established as a convenient, sustainable, cheap and environmentally safe approach for synthesis of a wide range of nanomaterials. Over the past decade, biosynthesis is regarded as an important tool for reducing the harmful effects of traditional nanoparticle synthesis methods commonly used in laboratories and industry. This review emphasizes the significance of biosynthesized metal nanoparticles in the field of electrochemical sensing. There is increasing evidence that green synthesis of nanoparticles provides a new direction in designing of cost-effective, highly sensitive and selective electrode-catalysts applicable in food, clinical and environmental analysis. The article is based on 157 references and provided a detailed overview on the main approaches for green synthesis of metal nanoparticles and their applications in designing of electrochemical sensor devices. Important operational characteristics including sensitivity, dynamic range, limit of detection, as well as data on stability and reproducibility of sensors have also been covered.

Abstract
This study assessed the effects of 4-nitrophenol (PNP) and 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (PNMC) on steroidogenesis in the granulosa layers (GLs) and theca layers (TLs) of chicken preovulatory follicles in vitro and in vivo. In the in vitro experiment, three of the largest yellow preovulatory follicles (F3 < F2 < F1) were exposed to PNP or PNMC (10-8-10-4 M), ovine luteinising hormone (oLH; 10 ng/mL), and combinations of oLH and PNP or PNMC (10-6 M). In the in vivo experiment, laying hens were treated for 6 days with PNP or PNMC (10 mg/kg). In vitro experiments revealed that PNP and PNMC decreased basal and oLH-stimulated P4 secretion from the GL as well as T and E2 secretion from the TLs of F3-F1 follicles. Treatment of laying hens with nitrophenols lowered plasma concentrations of luteinising hormone and all three steroids. The reduction of steroid secretion was associated with decrease in LHR, HSD3B1 and CYP19A1 mRNA expression in the GL and/or TLs of the preovulatory follicles, both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, PNP decreased HSD3B protein expression in the GL of F2 follicles in vitro and in vivo, while PNMC diminished its expression in the GL of F1 follicles in vivo. In vitro, nitrophenols did not affect CYP19A1 protein expression; however, nitrophenols inhibited its expression in the TLs of F3 and F2 follicles in vivo. The results obtained clearly demonstrate that nitrophenols are negative modulators of steroidogenesis in chicken preovulatory follicles and, in consequence, may not only impair ovulation process, but also affect function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis.

Abstract
To assess the effects of 4-nitrophenol (PNP) and 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (PNMC) on steroidogenesis in the chicken ovary, white (WF, 1-4 mm) and yellowish (YF, 4-8 mm) prehierarchical follicles were incubated in a medium supplemented with PNP or PNMC (10-8-10-4 M), ovine LH (oLH; 10 ng/mL), and combinations of oLH with PNP or PNMC (10-6 M). Testosterone (T) and estradiol (E2) concentrations in media and mRNA expression for steroidogenic proteins (STAR, HSD3B1, and CYP19A1), and LH receptors (LHR), estrogen receptor α (ESR1) and β (ESR2) in follicles were determined by RIA and real-time qPCR, respectively. PNP and PNMC decreased T and E2 secretion by the WF and YF, and oLH-stimulated T secretion from these follicles. PNP decreased basal STAR and HSD3B1 mRNA levels both in the WF and YF, and CYP19A1 mRNAs in the WF. PNP reduced oLH-affected mRNA expression of these genes in the YF. PNMC inhibited basal STAR, HSD3B1, and CYP19A1 mRNA expression in the WF, but not in the YF. PNMC reduced oLH-stimulated STAR and CYP19A1 expression in the YF and WF, respectively. PNP decreased basal mRNA expression of LHR, ESR1, and ESR2 in the WF, but it increased ESR1 and ESR2 mRNA levels in the YF. PNMC reduced both basal and oLH-affected LHR, ESR1, and ESR2 mRNA expression in the WF; however, it did not influence expression of these genes in the YF. We suggest that nitrophenols by influencing sex steroid synthesis and transcription of LH and estrogen receptors in prehierarchical ovarian follicles may impair their development and selection to the preovulatory hierarchy.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine the mRNA expression, activity, and immunolocalisation of apoptosis/proliferation regulating factors following in vitro exposure of the stroma, white (WFs), and yellowish (YFs) follicles of the chicken ovary to 4-nitrophenol (PNP) or 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (PNMC). PNMC increased the mRNA expression of caspase-3, -8, Apaf-1, and cytochrome c in the ovarian stroma. The activity of caspase-3, -8, and -9 decreased in WFs in both nitrophenol-treated groups. PNP reduced the number of caspase-3-positive cells in the stromal connective tissue (CT) and the theca interna and externa layers of WFs. In the stroma, the proliferating index decreased in the wall of primary follicles in both nitrophenol-treated groups, however, in the CT, the effect of PNMC was opposite. In the theca interna of WFs, PNP diminished the proliferating index. These results suggest that nitrophenols might impact the development of chicken ovarian follicles by affecting cell death and proliferation.

Abstract
Fabrication of biomimetic materials and scaffolds is usually a micro- or even nanoscale process; however, most testing and all manufacturing require larger-scale synthesis of nanoscale features. Here, we propose the utilization of naturally prefabricated three-dimensional (3D) spongin scaffolds that preserve molecular detail across centimeter-scale samples. The fine-scale structure of this collagenous resource is stable at temperatures of up to 1200°C and can produce up to 4 × 10-cm-large 3D microfibrous and nanoporous turbostratic graphite. Our findings highlight the fact that this turbostratic graphite is exceptional at preserving the nanostructural features typical for triple-helix collagen. The resulting carbon sponge resembles the shape and unique microarchitecture of the original spongin scaffold. Copper electroplating of the obtained composite leads to a hybrid material with excellent catalytic performance with respect to the reduction of p-nitrophenol in both freshwater and marine environments.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2018; 358:44-52.

Abstract
The suitable doping or modification on TiO2 holds promise for improving charge separation and extending light absorption range. Here, WO3 modifying reduced band gap mesoporous TiO2 (WO3/RM-TiO2) due to WO3 doping was successfully fabricated by immersing mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticles in the peroxotungstic acid sol with controllable reaction time (0-1 h). The W6+ ions were first incorporated into the TiO2 lattice to form WOTi bonds, resulting in the formation of WO3 doping TiO2. Then, WO3 nanoparticles gradually formed and attached on the TiO2 surface, constructing a novel heterojunction catalyst with WO3 serving as both dopant and light-sensitizer for TiO2. Photocatalytic activity of the resulting WO3/RM-TiO2 depends on the immersing duration in the peroxotungstic acid. The BET analysis shows that 0.5 h-WO3/RM-TiO2 has the largest pore volume of 0.491 cm3 g-1 and the highest surface area of 82.3 m2 g-1, whereas these values decline with prolonged immersing duration. As expected, the optimal efficiency in removing p-nitrophenol (PNP) is achieved over 0.5 h-WO3/RM-TiO2 under visible light irradiation, which is 2.33 times that of the unmodified M-TiO2. This should be attributed to the suitable WO3 doping and WO3 modification.
