Abstract
The development of metallic joint prostheses has been ongoing for more than a century alongside advancements in hip and knee arthroplasty. Among the materials utilized, the Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) and Titanium-Aluminum-Vanadium (Ti-Al-V) alloys are predominant in joint prosthesis construction, predominantly due to their commendable biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance. Nonetheless, over time, the physical wear, electrochemical corrosion, and inflammation induced by these alloys that occur post-implantation can cause the release of various metallic components. The released metals can then flow and metabolize in vivo, subsequently causing potential local or systemic harm. This review first details joint prosthesis development and acknowledges the release of prosthetic metals. Second, we outline the metallic concentration, biodistribution, and elimination pathways of the released prosthetic metals. Lastly, we discuss the possible organ, cellular, critical biomolecules, and significant signaling pathway toxicities and adverse effects that arise from exposure to these metals.

Drug Chem Toxicol 2024:1-12. [PMID: 38221775 DOI: 10.1080/01480545.2024.2303975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
Aluminum (Al) is a known neurotoxic trace element linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Naltrexone, an opioid antagonist, has shown promising effects in reducing neuroinflammation at lower doses than those prescribed for addiction. This study aimed to determine the neuroprotective effects of naltrexone on Al-induced neurotoxicity in an in vitro AD model. The SH-SY5Y cells were first cultivated in a standard growth medium. Subsequently, the cells were induced to differentiate by decreasing the concentration of fetal bovine serum and introducing retinoic acid (RA) into the culture media. Subsequently, the inclusion of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was implemented in conjunction with RA. The process of differentiation was concluded on the seventh day. Study groups (n = 3) were designed as the control group, naltrexone group, Al group, Al-Nal group, Alzheimer' model (AD) group, Alzheimer model + Al-exposed group (AD-Al), Alzheimer model + Nal applied group (AD-Nal) and Alzheimer model + Al-exposed + Nal applied group (AD-Al-Nal). Hyperphosphorylated Tau protein as the specific marker of AD was measured in all groups. Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3)β, Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), Akt and Wnt signaling pathways were analyzed comparatively. In addition, oxidative stress parameters (total antioxidant capacity, lipid peroxidase, protein carbonyl and reactive oxygen species) were measured comparatively in the study groups. The results showed that naltrexone reduced hyperphosphorylated tau protein levels by regulating GSK-3β, PP2A, Akt and Wnt signaling. Also, exposure to naltrexone decreased oxidative stress parameters. Based on these results, naltrexone shows promise as a potential therapy for AD, subject to additional clinical assessments.

Continuously released Zn 2+ in 3D-printed PLGA/β-TCP/Zn scaffolds for bone defect repair by improving osteoinductive and anti-inflammatory properties. Bioact Mater 2022; 24:361-375. [PMID: 36632506 PMCID: PMC9822837 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.12.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Long-term nonunion of bone defects has always been a major problem in orthopedic treatment. Artificial bone graft materials such as Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)/β-tricalcium phosphate (PLGA/β-TCP) scaffolds are expected to solve this problem due to their suitable degradation rate and good osteoconductivity. However, insufficient mechanical properties, lack of osteoinductivity and infections after implanted limit its large-scale clinical application. Hence, we proposed a novel bone repair bioscaffold by adding zinc submicron particles to PLGA/β-TCP using low temperature rapid prototyping 3D printing technology. We first screened the scaffolds with 1 wt% Zn that had good biocompatibility and could stably release a safe dose of zinc ions within 16 weeks to ensure long-term non-toxicity. As designed, the scaffold had a multi-level porous structure of biomimetic cancellous bone, and the Young's modulus (63.41 ± 1.89 MPa) and compressive strength (2.887 ± 0.025 MPa) of the scaffold were close to those of cancellous bone. In addition, after a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments, the scaffolds proved to have no adverse effects on the viability of BMSCs and promoted their adhesion and osteogenic differentiation, as well as exhibiting higher osteogenic and anti-inflammatory properties than PLGA/β-TCP scaffold without zinc particles. We also found that this osteogenic and anti-inflammatory effect might be related to Wnt/β-catenin, P38 MAPK and NFkB pathways. This study lay a foundation for the follow-up study of bone regeneration mechanism of Zn-containing biomaterials. We envision that this scaffold may become a new strategy for clinical treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation and intestinal microbiota cause pathological progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD), leading to neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. This study investigates the effects of wheat embryo globulin nutrient (WEGN) on depression, neuroinflammation, and intestinal microbial disorder caused by AD and its protective mechanism on cognitive impairment. Results demonstrated that rats in the WEGN group have lower feed intake but higher body weight than those in the control group. Notably, rats in the WEGN group have a higher number of cross grids and uprights and a smaller amount of fecal particles than those in the control group. Biochemical examinations revealed that rats in the WEGN group had lower expression of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor α in hippocampus tissue and the expression of genes and proteins related to the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway in AD rats was down-regulated compared to those in the control group. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing results demonstrated that WEGN treatment inhibits the increase of Erysipelotrichaceae, Erysipelatoclostridium, Erysipelotrichaceae, Corynebacterium, and Frisingicoccus, and the reduction of Lactobacillus in AD rats. WEGN has potential value as a practical food in alleviating neuroinflammation-related diseases such as AD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effects of aluminum (Al) intake on endochondral ossification during the neonatal phase. METHOD Twelve male newborn Gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) were randomly divided into control (C) and aluminum (Al) groups (n = 6 animals/group). From the 1st to 15th day of life, gerbils received an AlCl3 solution (10 mg/kg/day) via gavage. The control group received only the saline solution. On the 16th day, their tibias were processed for paraffin embedding and were submitted to histomorphometric, histochemical, and immunohistochemical analyses. RESULTS In the epiphyseal cartilage Al did not affect the proteoglycan content or cell proliferation; however, it increased matrix metalloprotease-2 (MMP-2) immunostaining and the hypertrophic layer thickness. In bone, Al decreased trabeculae number, trabecular width, cortical bone width, and proliferation. Furthermore, the relative frequency of bone matrix and fibrillar collagen decreased 3.9% and 16.2%, respectively. The number of osteoclasts and osteocalcin digital optical density (D.O.D) remained the same. CONCLUSION The results suggest that Al intake during the neonatal period impairs endochondral ossification by affecting epiphyseal cartilage and bone architecture.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) is one of the most found elements in nature in many forms, and human exposure can be quite common. Therefore, it is important to investigate the effects of exposure to Al mainly at low doses and for a prolonged period, in order to simulate human exposure in the periodontium, an important structure for support and protection of the teeth. This investigation aimed to study the aluminum chloride (AlCl3) toxicological effects in the mineral composition and micromorphology of the alveolar bone of rats. Two groups of eight male Wistar rats were used for the experiment. AlCl3 group was exposed to AlCl3 orally at a dose of 8.3 mg/kg/day for 60 days, while the control group received only distilled water. After that, the mandibles were collected and submitted to the following analyses: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray microtomography analysis; blood was also collected for determination of Al circulating levels. Our data showed that AlCl3 was capable of increasing Al circulating levels in blood. It was able to promote changes in the mineral content and triggers significant changes in the mineralized bone microstructure, such as number and thickness of trabeculae, being associated with alveolar bone-loss.

Abstract
The pollution of aluminum (Al) in agricultural production and its wide application in food processing greatly increase the chance of human and animal exposure. Al can accumulate in bone and cause bone diseases by inducing oxidative stress. Mitophagy can maintain normal cell function by degrading damaged mitochondria and scavenging reactive oxygen species. However, the role of mitophagy in the bone impairment caused by Al is unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that PTEN induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/ E3 ubiquitin ligase PARK2 (Parkin)-mediated mitophagy was activated in the bone impairment caused by Al in vivo. Then, the Al-induced mitophagy in Parkin-deficient mice and MC3T3-E1 cells were decreased. Meanwhile, Parkin deficiency exacerbated the bone impairment, mitochondrial damage, and oxidative stress under Al exposure, both in vivo and in vitro. In general, the results reveal that Al exposure can activate PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy, and the PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy plays a protective role in the bone impairment caused by Al.

The Protective Effects of Melatonin on Aluminum-Induced Hepatotoxicity and Nephrotoxicity in Rats. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:7375136.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) is a ubiquitous element with known toxicity for both humans and animals. Herein, we aimed to investigate the potential role of melatonin (MEL) in hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity following aluminum chloride (AlCl3) treatment in rats. Adult male rats were treated with AlCl3 (34 mg/kg bwt) for eight weeks. Exposure to AlCl3 enhanced the serum activities of the liver transaminases (alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase) and increased the level of bilirubin, in addition to the serum kidney function markers urea and creatinine. AlCl3 intoxication boosted oxidative stress, as evidenced by increases in the levels of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and nitric oxide (NO) along with simultaneous decreases in the levels of glutathione (GSH), various antioxidant enzymes, and Nrf2 mRNA expression. MEL (5 mg/kg bwt) treatment repressed LPO and NO levels, whereas it augmented GSH content. The activities of the antioxidant enzymes GPx, SOD, CAT, and GR were also restored concomitantly when MEL was administered before AlCl3. MEL also suppressed the apoptotic effect of AlCl3 by enhancing Bcl-2 protein expression in the liver and kidney and decreasing the expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines. Histopathological findings in the liver and kidney tissues confirmed the beneficial effect of MEL against AlCl3 toxicity. These findings indicate that MEL prevents AlCl3 toxicity by enhancing the antioxidant defense system.

Abstract
The relationship between iron and bone mineral density (BMD) is still poorly understood. We investigated the associations of iron intake, serum iron and serum ferritin with BMD. This cross-sectional study identified 4000 females aged 12 to 49 years with complete and valid data on iron intake, serum iron, serum ferritin, and femoral neck and lumbar spine BMD from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2010. Daily iron intake was the mean intake of iron nutrient ascertained from two consecutive 24-h dietary recalls; serum iron and serum ferritin were directly measured with established methods. Femoral neck and lumbar spine BMD were measured by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). After adjusting for multiple covariates (i.e., age, body mass index and race), we used linear regression and generalized additive models (GAMs) to test the linear and non-linear associations of iron intake, serum iron and serum ferritin with BMD. The mean age of this study was 27.70 years (SD = 11.88 years). Higher serum ferritin was associated with lower femoral neck and lumbar spine BMD (all adjusted P < 0.05); iron intake and serum iron were not associated with femoral neck and lumbar spine BMD. Similar results were found when iron levels were classified as iron deficiency, normal iron and iron overload. There were no obvious non-linear relationships between the above three iron variables and BMD in the GAM analyses. There was a negative and linear association between serum ferritin and BMD; iron intake and serum iron were not associated with BMD. Serum ferritin appeared to be a better iron variable than iron intake and serum iron in relation to BMD.

Abstract
Aluminium (Al) is frequently accessible to animal and human populations to the extent that intoxications may occur. Intake of Al is by inhalation of aerosols or particles, ingestion of food, water and medicaments, skin contact, vaccination, dialysis and infusions. Toxic actions of Al induce oxidative stress, immunologic alterations, genotoxicity, pro-inflammatory effect, peptide denaturation or transformation, enzymatic dysfunction, metabolic derangement, amyloidogenesis, membrane perturbation, iron dyshomeostasis, apoptosis, necrosis and dysplasia. The pathological conditions associated with Al toxicosis are desquamative interstitial pneumonia, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, granulomas, granulomatosis and fibrosis, toxic myocarditis, thrombosis and ischemic stroke, granulomatous enteritis, Crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, anemia, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, sclerosis, autism, macrophagic myofasciitis, osteomalacia, oligospermia and infertility, hepatorenal disease, breast cancer and cyst, pancreatitis, pancreatic necrosis and diabetes mellitus. The review provides a broad overview of Al toxicosis as a background for sustained investigations of the toxicology of Al compounds of public health importance.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate whether melatonin (MT) treatment can attenuate immunotoxicity induced by aluminum chloride (AlCl3) in rat spleen. Forty-eight healthy male Wistar rats were randomly allocated and treated with AlCl3 and/or MT. Rats were orally administered with AlCl3 for 90 days, from 61st days, rats were injected intraperitoneally with MT for 30 days. Firstly, we found that MT relieved the AlCl3-induced immunosuppression by improving spleen structural damage, CD3+ and CD4+ T lymphocyte subsets, IL-2 and TNF-α mRNA expressions and decreasing CD8+ T lymphocyte subsets. Secondly, MT attenuated the AlCl3-induced oxidative stress in rat spleen by decreasing the levels of ROS and MDA, while increasing the activities of SOD and CAT. Thirdly, MT relieved the AlCl3-induced apoptosis in rat spleen by increasing the MMP and Bcl-2 mRNA and protein expressions, while decreasing apoptosis rates, activity of Caspase-3 and pro-apoptotic gene expression. Finally, MT increased Nrf2 nuclear translocation, and Nrf2 target genes (HO-1, NQO1, SOD1 and CAT) mRNA expressions in the spleen of AlCl3-exposed rat. These results suggest that MT may alleviate AlCl3-induced immunotoxicity by inhibiting oxidative stress and apoptosis associated with the activation of Nrf2 signaling pathway, which could lay the foundation for the treatment of AlCl3 immunotoxicity.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) is known to induce apoptosis of osteoblasts (OBs). However, the mechanism is not yet established. To investigate the apoptotic mechanism of OBs induced by aluminum trichloride (AlCl3), the primary OBs from the craniums of fetal Wistar rats were exposed to 0 mg/mL (control group, CG), 0.06 mg/mL (low-dose group, LG), 0.12 mg/mL (mid-dose group, MG), and 0.24 mg/mL (high-dose group, HG) AlCl3 for 24 h, respectively. We observed that AlCl3 induced OB apoptosis with the appearance of apoptotic morphology and increase of apoptosis rate. Additionally, AlCl3 treatment activated mitochondrial-mediated signaling pathway, accompanied by mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) depolarization, release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria to the cytoplasm, as well as survival signal-related factor caspase-9 and caspase-3 activation. AlCl3 exposure also activated Fas/Fas ligand signaling pathway, presented as Fas, Fas ligand, and Fas-associated death domain expression enhancement and caspase-8 activation, as well as the hydrolysis of Bid to truncated Bid, suggesting that the Fas-mediated signaling pathway might aggravate mitochondria-mediated OB apoptosis through hydrolyzing Bid. Furthermore, AlCl3 exposure inhibited Bcl-2 protein expression and increased the expressions of Bax, Bak, and Bim in varying degrees. These results indicated that AlCl3 exposure induced OB apoptosis through activating Fas- and mitochondria-mediated signaling pathway and disrupted B-cell lymphoma-2 family proteins.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) is a toxic metal, and excessive Al accumulation causes immunosuppression. Deferiprone (DFP) is a well-known chelator and used in dialysis patients for removing Al from tissues. The present study aimed to investigate whether DFP treatment can attenuate immunotoxicity induced by aluminum chloride (AlCl3) in cultured lymphocytes. Lymphocytes were treated with 0 and 0.6 mmol/L AlCl3∙6H2O (pH 7.2) and/or 1.8 mmol/L DFP, respectively. Immune function of lymphocytes was assessed by T and B lymphocytes proliferation rates, T lymphocyte subpopulations and IL-2, IL-6 and TNF-α contents. In addition, lymphocyte damage was assessed by LDH activity, NO and MDA contents, NOS, SOD and GSH-Px activities, lymphocyte apoptosis index. These results showed that AlCl3 exposure reduced T and B lymphocyte proliferation rates, CD3+ and CD4+ T lymphocyte subpopulations, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, IL-2, IL-6 and TNF-α contents, SOD and GSH-Px activities, early and later lymphocyte apoptosis indexes while enhanced CD8+ T lymphocyte subpopulation, NO and MDA contents, LDH activity. DFP treatment attenuated the immunotoxicity of lymphocytes and reduced oxidative stress and lymphocyte apoptosis induced by AlCl3, indicating that DFP could protect lymphocytes against immunosuppression induced by AlCl3 through attenuating oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) exposure inhibits bone formation. Osteoblastic proliferation promotes bone formation. Therefore, we inferred that Al may inhibit bone formation by the inhibition of osteoblastic proliferation. However, the effects and molecular mechanisms of Al on osteoblastic proliferation are still under investigation. Osteoblastic proliferation can be regulated by Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. To investigate the effects of Al on osteoblastic proliferation and whether Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is involved in it, osteoblasts from neonatal rats were cultured and exposed to 0, 0.4 mM (1/20 IC50), 0.8 mM (1/10 IC50), and 1.6 mM (1/5 IC50) of aluminum trichloride (AlCl3) for 24 h, respectively. The osteoblastic proliferation rates; Wnt3a, lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP-5), T cell factor 1 (TCF-1), cyclin D1, and c-Myc messenger RNA (mRNA) expressions; and p-glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), GSK3β, and β-catenin protein expressions indicated that AlCl3 inhibited osteoblastic proliferation and downregulated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In addition, the AlCl3 concentration was negatively correlated with osteoblastic proliferation rates and the mRNA expressions of Wnt3a, c-Myc, and cyclin D1, while the osteoblastic proliferation rates were positively correlated with mRNA expressions of Wnt3a, c-Myc, and cyclin D1. Taken together, these findings indicated that AlCl3 inhibits osteoblastic proliferation may be associated with the inactivation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
The previous research found that aluminum trichloride (AlCl3) inhibited rat osteoblastic differentiation through inactivation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in vitro. On that basis, the experiment in vivo was conducted in this study. Rats were orally exposed to 0 (control group) and 0.4 g/L AlCl3 (AlCl3-treated group) for 30, 60, 90 or 120 days, respectively. We found that mRNA expressions of type I collagen and insulin-like growth factor-1, mRNA and protein expressions of Runx2 and survivin, ratio of p-GSK3β/GSK3β and protein expression of β-catenin were all decreased, whereas the mRNA and protein expressions Dkk1 and sFRP1 and the mRNA expressions and activity of Caspase-3 were increased in the AlCl3-treated group compared with the control group with time prolonged. These results suggest that AlCl3 inhibits bone formation and induces bone impairment by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in young growing rats.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) exposure impairs bone formation, and bone formation is mediated by the osteoblasts. But effects of Al on the osteoblasts function remain elusive. The osteoblasts were exposed to 0, 0.0252, 0.126, 0.252mg/mL AlCl3·6H2O for 24h. The osteoblasts viability, TGF-β1, BMP-2, IGF-I and Cbfα1 mRNA expressions, and GSH-Px and SOD activities, ROS concentration were determined. The osteoblasts ultrastructural features were also observed. The results showed that AlCl3 suppressed the osteoblasts viability, TGF-β1, BMP-2, IGF-I and Cbfα1 mRNA expressions, GSH-Px and SOD activities, and elevated ROS concentration compared with the CG. The ultrastructural features of osteoblasts in the HG showed mitochondrial swelling, foam-like structure, uneven distribution of chromatin, incomplete cell membrane and cytoplasm spillover compared with the CG. It indicates that AlCl3 inhibits osteoblasts viability, growth regulation factors mRNA expressions, anti-oxidative function, and damaged the osteoblasts histology structure, impairing the osteoblasts function.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) is considered to be a potentially toxic metal and inhibits cartilage formation. Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) are cartilage stimulatory growth factors, which play important roles in regulating the cartilage formation. To investigate the effects of aluminum trichloride (AlCl3) on the regulation of cartilage formation. Eighty Wistar rats were orally exposed to 0 (control group), 0.4 g/L (low-dose group), 0.8 g/L (mid-dose group) and 1.6 g/L (high-dose group) AlCl3 for 120 days, respectively. The rats body weight were decreased, the cartilage histological structure were disrupted, the cartilage and serum contents of Al and the serum level of C-telopeptide of type II collagen were all increased, the serum level of type II collagen (Col II) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and the mRNA expressions of TGF-β1, BMP-2, ALP and Col II were all decreased in the AlCl3-treated groups compared with those in control group. These results indicate that AlCl3 inhibits the cartilage formation through inhibition of the cartilage stimulatory growth factors expressions.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) exposure is toxic to immune system. Studies have implicated that glucocorticoids (GCs) exert the dual regulation effect on the immune function depending on the concentration. However, it is unknown whether a dual effect of GCs exists in the AlCl3-treated lymphocytes. Corticosterone (Cort) is one kind of GCs. To investigate the effect of different concentration Cort on AlCl3-treated lymphocytes, rat splenic lymphocyte was isolated and cultured with 0.55 mmol/L AlCl3, simultaneously administrated Cort at final concentration of 0 (control group, CG), 10(-8) (low-level group, LG), and 10(-6) (high-level group, HG) mol/L, respectively. Another group without AlCl3 and Cort served as the blank group (BG). We found that low concentration Cort increased the T and B lymphocyte proliferation rate, proportions of CD4(+) T lymphocyte subset, IgG, IL-2, and TNF-α contents, whereas high concentration Cort decreased those in AlCl3-treated lymphocytes. In conclusion, the results of this study indicated that low concentration Cort relieves the immunotoxicity of AlCl3 on the splenic lymphocytes, whereas high concentration Cort aggravates it.

Abstract
This research investigated the relationship between lymphocytes apoptosis, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and NF-κB in AlCl3-treated rats. Eighty Wistar rats were orally exposed to 0 (control group, CG), 0.4 mg/mL (low-dose group, LG), 0.8 mg/mL (mid-dose group, MG) and 1.6 mg/mL (high-dose group, HG) AlCl3 for 90 days, respectively. A variety of measurements were taken including lymphocyte apoptosis index, serum corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and glucocorticoids (GCs) contents, GC receptors (GCR) and NF-κB mRNA and nuclear protein expressions, caspase 3 and 9 mRNA expressions and activities. The results showed that in the AlCl3-treated rats serum CRH, ACTH and GCs contents, lymphocyte GC receptors (GCR) mRNA and nuclear protein expressions, caspase 3 and 9 mRNA expressions and activities increased, while Bcl-2/Bax ratio and NF-κB mRNA and nuclear protein expressions decreased compared with the CG. Furthermore GCR and NF-κB nuclear protein expressions were negatively correlated. And NF-κB mRNA expression was positively correlated with that of Bcl-2, but negatively correlated with that of Bax in AlCl3-treated rats. These findings indicated that AlCl3 activated HPA axis, then induced splenic lymphocytes apoptosis through NF-κB inhibition.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)/Smad signaling pathway plays an important role in regulating osteoblast (OB) differentiation. OB differentiation is a key process of bone formation. Aluminum (Al) exposure inhibits bone formation and causes Al-induced bone disease. However, the mechanism is not fully understood. To investigate whether BMP-2/Smad signaling pathway is associated with OB differentiation in aluminum trichloride (AlCl3)-treated OBs, the primary rat OBs were cultured and exposed to 0 (control group, CG), 1/40 IC50 (low-dose group, LG), 1/20 IC50 (mid-dose group, MG), and 1/10 IC50 (high-dose group, HG) of AlCl3 for 24 h, respectively. We found that the expressions of OB differentiation markers (Runx-2, Osterix and ALP) and BMP-2/Smad signaling pathway components (BMP-2, BMPR-IA, p-BMPR-IA, BMPR-II, p-Smad1/5/8 and p-Smad1/5/8/4) were all decreased in AlCl3-treated OBs compared with the CG. These results indicated that inhibition of OB differentiation by AlCl3 was associated with inhibition of BMP-2/Smad pathway component expression. Our findings provide a novel insight into the mechanism of AlCl3-induced bone disease.

Abstract
Osteoblasts dysfunction, induced by aluminum (Al), plays a critical role in the osteoporosis etiology. Ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1) has the therapeutic properties for osteoporosis. This study aimed to assess the efficiency of Rb1 in ameliorating Al-induced osteoblasts dysfunction. The osteoblasts were divided into four groups: Rb1-treated group (RG, 0.0145mg/mL Rb1), control group (CG, 0), AlCl3-treated group (AG, 0.126mg/mL AlCl3·6H2O), AlCl3+Rb1-treated group (ARG, 0.0145mg/mL Rb1 and 0.126mg/mL AlCl3·6H2O). After 24h of culture, the osteoblasts viability, the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), core-binding factor α1 (Cbfα1) mRNA expressions, glutathione perioxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentration were determined. The osteoblasts ultrastructural features were also observed. In the ARG, the osteoblasts viability, TGF-β1, BMP-2, IGF-I and Cbfα1 mRNA expressions and the GSH-Px and SOD activities were significantly increased, the ROS concentration was significantly decreased, and osteoblasts histology lesion was attenuated compared with the AG. These results demonstrated that Rb1 could significantly reverse osteoblasts viability and osteoblasts growth regulation factor, inhibit oxidative stress, and attenuate histology lesion in the osteoblasts with AlCl3. These results indicate that Rb1 can effectively alleviate the AlCl3-induced osteoblasts dysfunction.

Abstract
Species identification is a crucial step in forensic anthropological studies. The aim of this study was to determine elemental profiles in bones from four mammal species, to be used for species discrimination. Human, elephant, dog, and dolphin bones were scanned by X-ray fluorescence (XRF); the differences in elemental profiles between species were determined using discriminant analysis. Dogs had the greatest number of elements (23), followed by humans (22) and elephants (20). Dolphins had the lowest number of elements (16). The accuracy rate of species identification in humans, elephants, dogs, and dolphins was 98.7%, 100%, 94.9%, and 92.3%, respectively. We conclude that element profiles of bones based on XRF analyses can serve as a tool for determining species.
