FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 152:109802. [PMID: 39096982 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2024] [Revised: 07/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/05/2024]
Abstract
Necroptosis is a caspase-independent programmed cell death process characterized by morphological similarities to necrosis and the potential to cause significant inflammatory reactions. The initiation, execution, and inhibition of necroptosis involve a complex interplay of various signaling proteins. When death receptors bind to ligands, necroptosis is triggered through the receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1)/RIPK3/Mixed Lineage Kinase Domain-Like (MLKL) axis, leading to inflammatory reactions in the surrounding tissues. This process encompasses numerous physiological regulatory mechanisms and contributes to the development and progression of certain diseases. The mechanisms of necroptosis were not well conserved across terrestrial and aquatic organisms, with differences in some components and functions. Given the significant challenges that aquatic animal diseases pose to aquaculture, research interest in necroptosis has surged recently, particularly in studies focusing on fish. Understanding necroptosis in fish can lead to interventions that offer potential breakthroughs in disease inhibition and fish health improvement.

Enhancing miR-19a/b induced cardiomyocyte proliferation in infarcted hearts by alleviating oxidant stress and controlling miR-19 release. Biomaterials 2024; 312:122732. [PMID: 39088913 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122732] [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: 03/10/2024] [Revised: 07/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/03/2024]
Abstract
Fully restoring the lost population of cardiomyocytes and heart function remains the greatest challenge in cardiac repair post myocardial infarction. In this study, a pioneered highly ROS-eliminating hydrogel was designed to enhance miR-19a/b induced cardiomyocyte proliferation by lowering the oxidative stress and continuously releasing miR-19a/b in infarcted myocardium in situ. In vivo lineage tracing revealed that ∼20.47 % of adult cardiomyocytes at the injected sites underwent cell division in MI mice. In MI pig the infarcted size was significantly reduced from 40 % to 18 %, and thereby marked improvement of cardiac function and increased muscle mass. Most importantly, our treatment solved the challenge of animal death--all the treated pigs managed to live until their hearts were harvested at day 50. Therefore, our strategy provides clinical conversion advantages and safety for healing damaged hearts and restoring heart function post MI, which will be a powerful tool to battle cardiovascular diseases in patients.

METTL3-m6A methylation inhibits the proliferation and viability of type II alveolar epithelial cells in acute lung injury by enhancing the stability and translation efficiency of Pten mRNA. Respir Res 2024; 25:276. [PMID: 39010105 PMCID: PMC11251256 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-024-02894-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI) involves a severe inflammatory response, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. N6-methylation of adenosine (m6A), an abundant mRNA nucleotide modification, plays a crucial role in regulating mRNA metabolism and function. However, the precise impact of m6A modifications on the progression of ALI remains elusive. METHODS ALI models were induced by either intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into C57BL/6 mice or the LPS-treated alveolar type II epithelial cells (AECII) in vitro. The viability and proliferation of AECII were assessed using CCK-8 and EdU assays. The whole-body plethysmography was used to record the general respiratory functions. M6A RNA methylation level of AECII after LPS insults was detected, and then the "writer" of m6A modifications was screened. Afterwards, we successfully identified the targets that underwent m6A methylation mediated by METTL3, a methyltransferase-like enzyme. Last, we evaluated the regulatory role of METTL3-medited m6A methylation at phosphatase and tensin homolog (Pten) in ALI, by assessing the proliferation, viability and inflammation of AECII. RESULTS LPS induced marked damages in respiratory functions and cellular injuries of AECII. The m6A modification level in mRNA and the expression of METTL3, an m6A methyltransferase, exhibited a notable rise in both lung tissues of ALI mice and cultured AECII cells subjected to LPS treatment. METTL3 knockdown or inhibition improved the viability and proliferation of LPS-treated AECII, and also reduced the m6A modification level. In addition, the stability and translation of Pten mRNA were enhanced by METTL3-mediated m6A modification, and over-expression of PTEN reversed the protective effect of METTL3 knockdown in the LPS-treated AECII. CONCLUSIONS The progression of ALI can be attributed to the elevated levels of METTL3 in AECII, as it promotes the stability and translation of Pten mRNA through m6A modification. This suggests that targeting METTL3 could offer a novel approach for treating ALI.

Abstract
Introduction High-alkalinity water is a serious health hazard for fish and can cause oxidative stress and metabolic dysregulation in fish livers. However, the molecular mechanism of liver damage caused by high alkalinity in fish is unclear. Methods In this study, 180 carp were randomly divided into a control (C) group and a high-alkalinity (A25) group and were cultured for 56 days. High-alkalinity-induced liver injury was analysed using histopathological, whole-transcriptome, and metabolomic analyses. Results Many autophagic bodies and abundant mitochondrial membrane damage were observed in the A25 group. High alkalinity decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity and the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and increased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in liver tissues, causing oxidative stress in the liver. Transcriptome analysis revealed 61 differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) and 4008 differentially expressed mRNAs. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis revealed that mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), forkhead box O (FoxO), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and the autophagy signalling pathway were the molecular mechanisms involved. High alkalinity causes oxidative stress and autophagy and results in autophagic damage in the liver. Bioinformatic predictions indicated that Unc-51 Like Kinase 2 (ULK2) was a potential target gene for miR-140-5p, demonstrating that high alkalinity triggered autophagy through the miR-140-5p-ULK2 axis. Metabolomic analysis revealed that the concentrations of cortisol 21-sulfate and beta-aminopropionitrile were significantly increased, while those of creatine and uracil were significantly decreased. Discussion The effects of high alkalinity on oxidative stress and autophagy injury in the liver were analysed using whole-transcriptome miRNA-mRNA networks and metabolomics approaches. Our study provides new insights into liver injury caused by highly alkaline water.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 928:171711. [PMID: 38494025 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171711] [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: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024]
Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CHP) is an inexpensive highly effective organophosphate insecticide used worldwide. The unguided and excessive use of CHP by farmers has led to its significant accumulation in crops as well as contamination of water sources, causing health problems for humans and animals. Therefore, this study evaluated the toxicological effects of exposure to the environmental pollutant CHP at low, medium, and high (2.5, 5, and 10 mg·kg-1 BW) levels on rat liver by examining antioxidant levels, inflammation, and apoptosis based on the no observed adverse effect levels (NOAEL) (1 mg·kg-1 BW) and the CHP dose that does not cause any visual symptoms (5 mg·kg-1 BW). Furthermore, the involvement of the JAK/STAT and MAPK pathways in CHP-induced toxic effects was identified. The relationship between the expression levels of key proteins (p-JAK/JAK, p-STAT/STAT, p-JNK/JNK, p-P38/P38, and p-ERK/ERK) in the pathways and changes in the expression of markers associated with inflammation [inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α), chemokines (GCLC and GCLM), and inflammatory signaling pathways (NF-кB, TLR2, TLR4, NLRP3, ASC, MyD88, IFN-γ, and iNOS)] and apoptosis [Bad, Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase3, Caspase9, and the cleavage substrate of Caspase PARP1] were also determined. The results suggest that CHP exposure disrupts liver function and activates the JAK/STAT and MAPK pathways via oxidative stress, exacerbating inflammation and apoptosis. Meanwhile, the JAK/STAT and MAPK pathways are involved in CHP-induced hepatotoxicity. These findings provide a novel direction for effective prevention and amelioration of health problems caused by CHP abuse in agriculture and households.

Toxicon 2024; 244:107755. [PMID: 38740097 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxicon.2024.107755] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Avermectin (AVM) has been utilized extensively in agricultural production since it is a low-toxicity pesticide. However, the pollution caused by its residues to fisheries aquaculture has been neglected. As an abundant polyphenolic substance in plants, ferulic acid (FA) possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The goal of the study is to assess the FA's ability to reduce liver damage in carp brought on by AVM exposure. Four groups of carp were created at random: the control group; the AVM group; the FA group; and the FA + AVM group. On day 30, and the liver tissues of carp were collected and examined for the detection of four items of blood lipid as well as the activity of the antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in carp liver tissues by biochemical kits, and the transcript levels of indicators of oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis by qPCR. The results showed that liver injury, inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis were attenuated in the FA + AVM group compared to the AVM group. In summary, dietary addition of FA could ameliorate the hepatotoxicity caused by AVM in carp by alleviating oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis in liver tissues.

Abstract
Among female oncology patients, cervical cancer stands as the fourth most prevalent malignancy, exerting significant impacts on their health. Over 600,000 women received the diagnosis of cervical cancer in 2020, and the illness claimed over 300,000 lives globally. Curdepsidone A, a derivative of depsidone, was isolated from the secondary metabolites of Curvularia sp. IFB-Z10. In this study, we revised the molecular structure of curdepsidone A and investigated the fundamental mechanism of the anti-tumor activity of curdepsidone A in HeLa cells for the first time. The results demonstrated that curdepsidone A caused G0/G1 phase arrest, triggered apoptosis via a mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, blocked the autophagic flux, suppressed the PI3K/AKT pathway, and increased the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in HeLa cells. Furthermore, the PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) promoted apoptosis induced by curdepsidone A, while the PI3K agonist (IGF-1) eliminated such an effect. ROS scavenger (NAC) reduced curdepsidone A-induced cell apoptosis and the suppression of autophagy and the PI3K/AKT pathway. In conclusion, our results revealed that curdepsidone A hindered cell growth by causing cell cycle arrest, and promoted cell apoptosis by inhibiting autophagy and the ROS-mediated PI3K/AKT pathway. This study provides a molecular basis for the development of curdepsidone A as a new chemotherapy drug for cervical cancer.

[PMID: 38492782 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2024.116132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
Cisplatin is an effective chemotherapeutic drug for different cancers, but it also causes severe and permanent hearing loss. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in cochlear hair cells (HCs) have been shown to be important in the pathogenesis of cisplatin-induced hearing loss (CIHL). CDGSH iron sulfur domain 1 (CISD1, also known as mitoNEET) plays a critical role in mitochondrial oxidative capacity and cellular bioenergetics. Targeting CISD1 may improve mitochondrial function in various diseases. However, the role of CISD1 in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity is unclear. Therefore, this study was performed to assess the role of CISD1 in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. We found that CISD1 expression was significantly increased after cisplatin treatment in both HEI-OC1 cells and cochlear HCs. Moreover, pharmacological inhibition of CISD1 with NL-1 inhibited cell apoptosis and reduced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species accumulation in HEI-OC1 cells and cochlear explants. Inhibition of CISD1 with small interfering RNA in HEI-OC1 cells had similar protective effects. Furthermore, NL-1 protected against CIHL in adult C57 mice, as evaluated by the auditory brainstem response and immunofluorescent staining. Mechanistically, RNA sequencing revealed that NL-1 attenuated CIHL via the PI3K and MAPK pathways. Most importantly, NL-1 did not interfere with the antitumor efficacy of cisplatin. In conclusion, our study revealed that targeting CISD1 with NL-1 reduced reactive oxygen species accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis via the PI3K and MAPK pathways in HEI-OC1 cell lines and mouse cochlear explants in vitro, and it protected against CIHL in adult C57 mice. Our study suggests that CISD1 may serve as a novel target for the prevention of CIHL.

Su Y, Li T, He X, Sun H, Li J. PI3K/AKT pathway modulation and cold acclimation alleviation concerning apoptosis and necroptosis in broiler thymus. Poult Sci 2024; 103:103634. [PMID: 38537409 PMCID: PMC10987937 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.103634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Moderate cold stimulation regulates the thymus's growth and function and facilitates cold acclimatization in broilers. However, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. To explore the possible mechanism of the thymus in cold-acclimated broilers against cold stress, 240 one-day-old Arbor Acres (AA) broilers were assigned to 2 groups randomly. The control group (C) was housed at conventional temperatures. The temperature during the first week was 33°C to 34°C. Between the ages of 8 and 32 d, the temperature was lowered by 1°C every 2 d, i.e., gradually from 32°C to 20°C, and then maintained at 20°C until 42 d of age. The cold-acclimated group (C-3) was housed at the same temperature as C from 1 to 7 d after birth. Between 8 and 42 d, the temperature of C-3 was 3°C colder than C. After 24 h exposure to acute cold stress (ACS) at 42 d, C and C-3 were named as S and S-3. The results showed that ACS was able to induce oxidation stress, modulate PI3K/AKT signal, and cause necroptosis and apoptosis in broiler thymus. By contrast, cold acclimation could alleviate apoptosis and necroptosis induced by cold stress via alleviating oxidative stress, efficiently activating the PI3K/AKT signal, as well as decreasing apoptotic and necrotic genes' levels. This study offers a novel theoretical basis for cold acclimation to improve the body's cold tolerance.

Sodium sulfite triggered hepatic apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis by inducing mitochondrial damage in mice and AML-12 cells. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 467:133719.

Abstract
Sodium sulfite (SS) is a biological derivative of the air pollutant sulfur dioxide, and is often used as a food and pharmaceutical additive. Improper or excessive SS exposure in liver cell death. The phenomenon of simultaneous regulation of apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis is defined as PANoptosis. However, the specific types of programmed cell death (PCD) caused by SS and their interconnections remain unclear. In the present study, C57BL/6 mice were orally administered SS for 30 d, consecutively, to establish an in vivo mouse exposure model. AML-12 cells were treated with SS for 24 h to establish an in vitro exposure model. The results showed that SS-induced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) accumulation activated the BAX/Bcl-2/caspase 3 pathway to trigger apoptosis and RIPK1/RIPK3/p-MLKL to trigger necroptosis. Interestingly, ROS-activated p-MLKL perforated not the cell membrane as well as the lysosomal membrane. We determined that p-MLKL mediates lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), resulting in cathepsin B (CTSB) release. Furthermore, knockdown of MLKL, a CTSB inhibitor (CA074-ME) and an NLRP3 inhibitor (MCC950) alleviated SS-induced pyroptosis. In summary, our study showed that SS induced apoptosis and necroptosis though mtROS accumulation, whereas the activation of p-MLKL mediated NLRP3-dependent pyroptosis by causing CTSB leakage through LMP. This study comprehensively explored the mechanism unerlying SS-induced PCD and provided an experimental basis for p-MLKL as a potential regulatory protein in PANoptosis.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 918:170503. [PMID: 38301776 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) over-production and oxidative stress resulted from climate change and environmental pollution seriously endangered global fish populations and healthy development of marine aquaculture. Peroxiredoxins (Prxs), a highly conserved family of thiol-specific antioxidants, can mitigate ROS and protect cells from oxidative stress. We previously demonstrated that large yellow croaker PrxIV (LcPrxIV) could not only regulate the pro-inflammatory responses, but also scavenge ROS. However, the underlying mechanism how LcPrxIV regulated immune response and redox homeostasis remains unknown. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that play important roles in the regulation of various biological processes. In this study, mRNA and miRNA expression profiles from LYCK-pcDNA3.1 and LYCK-PrxIV cells, with or without oxidative stress stimulated by H2O2 were evaluated using high-throughput sequencing. A series of differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs), as well as DEM-DEG pairs were identified from each two-group comparison, respectively. GO and KEGG functional analyses indicated that most significant DEGs were associated with signaling pathways related to oxidative stress and immune response. Subsequent DEM-DEG interaction analysis revealed that miR-731 and miR-1388 may be involved in both redox regulation and immune response via synergistic effect with LcPrxIV. Interestingly, miR-731 could regulate the expression of different down-stream DEGs under different stimulations of LcPrxIV over-expression, H2O2, or both. Moreover, miR-731 could cause the DEG, γ-glutamyl hydrolase (GGH), to be expressed in opposite ways under different stimulations. On the other hand, the expression of miR-1388 could be negatively or positively regulated under the stimulation of LcPrxIV over-expression with or without oxidative stress, thus regulating gene expression of different mRNAs. Based on these results, we speculate that LcPrxIV may participate in immune response or redox regulation by regulating the expression of different down-stream genes through controlling the expression level of a certain miRNA or by regulating the varieties of expressed miRNAs.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogues are still one of the most important substances that pollute aquatic systems and pose a threat to aquatic organisms. Tannic acid (TAN) is a kind of glycosyl compound, which has the functions of anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis. However, it is unknown if BPA can regulate PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway to induce pyroptosis of grass carp hepatocytes (L8824) and the antagonistic effect of tannic acid (TAN) through oxidative stress. Therefore, we established the grass carp hepatocytes (L8824) cell model treated with BPA. The oxidative stress indexes (SOD, CAT, GSH, H2O2 and T-AOC) were detected by oxidative stress kit, mRNA and protein expression of associated genes were examined using qRT-PCR and western blotting. The results showed that BPA treatment increased the content of hydrogen peroxide and decreased the activities of antioxidant enzymes and antioxidants (SOD, CAT, GSH, and T-AOC) in L8824 cells. We also found that PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway was activated dramatically and the expression of pyroptosis-related genes (GSDMD, NLRP3, Caspase1, ASC and IL-1β) was increased significantly. In addition, TAN could significantly reduce the toxicity of BPA on L8824 cells. After the addition of PTEN specific inhibitor SF1670, the activation of PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway decreased by BPA was inhibited and the expression of scorch related genes was decreased. On the whole, TAN inhibits BPA-induced pyroptosis of L8824 by modulating the PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway. The present study provides a novel perspective for toxicological mechanism of BPA, and new insights into the detoxification mechanism of TAN.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 200:105812.

Abstract
Indoxacarb has been widely utilized in agricultural pest management, posing a significant ecological threat to Bombyx mori, a non-target economic insect. In the present study, short-term exposure to low concentration of indoxacarb significantly suppressed the oxidative phosphorylation pathway, and resulted in an accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the midgut of B. mori. While, the ATP content exhibited a declining trend but there was no significant change. Moreover, indoxacarb also significantly altered the transcription levels of six autophagy-related genes, and the transcription levels of ATG2, ATG8 and ATG9 were significantly up-regulated by 2.56-, 1.90-, and 3.36-fold, respectively. The protein levels of ATG8-I and ATG8-II and MDC-stained frozen sections further suggested an increase in autophagy. Furthermore, the protein level and enzyme activity of CASP4 showed a significant increase in accordance with the transcription levels of apoptosis-related genes, indicating the activation of the apoptotic signaling pathway. Meanwhile, the induction of apoptosis signals in the midgut cells triggered by indoxacarb was confirmed through TUNEL staining. These findings suggest that indoxacarb can promote the accumulation of ROS by inhibiting the oxidative phosphorylation pathway, thereby inducing autophagy and apoptosis in the midgut cells of B. mori.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) is a widely distributed toxic heavy metal element known to have strong male reproductive toxicity, which can result in issues such as abnormal count and morphology of sperm. Zinc (Zn) is an essential trace element for the human body that can antagonize the activity of Pb in some physiological environments, and it also possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the specific mechanism of Zn's antagonism against Pb remains largely unclear. In our study, we conducted research using swine testis cells (ST cells) and confirmed that the half maximal inhibitory concentration of Pb on ST cells was 994.4 μM, and the optimal antagonistic concentration of Zn was 10 μM. Based on this information, we treated ST cells with Pb and Zn and detected related indices such as apoptosis, oxidative stress, and the PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway using flow cytometry, DCFH-DA staining, RT-PCR, and Western blot. Our results demonstrated that Pb exposure can generate excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), disrupt the antioxidant system, upregulate PTEN expression, and inhibit the PI3K/AKT pathway in ST cells. In contrast, Zn significantly inhibited the overproduction of ROS, improved oxidative stress, and decreased PTEN expression, thus protecting the PI3K/AKT pathway compared to Pb-exposed ST cells. Furthermore, we found that Pb exposure exacerbated the expression of genes related to the apoptosis pathway and reduced the expression of anti-apoptotic genes. Furthermore, this situation was significantly improved when co-cultured with Pb and Zn. In summary, our study demonstrated that Zn alleviated Pb-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis through the ROS/PTEN/PI3K/AKT axis in ST cells.

Abstract
Atrazine (ATR), a commonly used herbicide, is highly bioaccumulative and toxic, posing a threat to a wide range of organisms. Curcumin has strong antioxidant properties. However, it is unclear whether curcumin counteracts cellular pyroptosis as well as cell cycle arrest induced by ATR exposure. Therefore, we conducted a study using TCMK-1 cells and established cell models by adding 139 μmol/L ATR and 20 μmol/L curcumin. The results showed that ATR exposure produced excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), reduced activities of enzymes such as GSH-PX, SOD and Total Antioxidant Capacity, markedly increased the content of H2O2, disrupted the antioxidant system, activated Caspase-1, and the expression levels of the pyroptosis-related genes NLRP3, GSDMD, ASC, Caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 were increased. The simultaneous excess of ROS led to DNA damage, activation of P53 led to elevated expression levels of P53 and P21, as a consequence, the expression levels of cyclinE, CDK2 and CDK4 were reduced. These results suggest that Cur can modulate ATR exposure-induced pyroptosis as well as cell cycle arrest in TCMK-1 cells by governing oxidative stress.

Abstract
Terbuthylazine (TBA) is a widely prevalent pesticide pollutant, which is a global concern due to its environmental residual. However, the toxic mechanism of TBA have not been fully solved. Here, we explored that TBA exposure disrupts the intestinal flora and aggravated disturbance of mitochondrial quality control and PANapoptosis in hepatocytes via gut-liver axis. Our findings demonstrated that TBA exposure induced significant damage to the jejunum barrier, evidenced by a marked decrease in the expression of Occludin and ZO-1. Moreover. TBA led to intestinal microflora disorder, manifested as the decreased abundance of Firmicutes, and increased abundance of the Nitrospirota, Chloroflexi, Desulfobacterota, Crenarchaeota, Myxococcota, and Planctomycetota. Meanwhile, intestinal microflora disorder affected the biological processes of lipid metabolism and cell growth and death of hepatocytes by RNA-Seq analysis. Furthermore, TBA could induced mitochondrial quality control imbalance, including mitochondrial redox disorders, lower activity of mitochondrial fusion and biogenesis decrease, and increasing level of mitophagy. Subsequently, TBA significantly increased expression levels of pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis-related proteins. In general, these results demonstrated the underlying mechanisms of TBA-induced hepatotoxicity induced via the gut-liver axis, which provides a theoretical basis for further research of ecotoxicology of TBA.

Abstract
Nanoplastic particles are pervasive environmental contaminants with potential health risks, while mouse intestinal organoids provide accurate in vitro models for studying these interactions. Metabolomics, especially through LC-MS, enables detailed cellular response studies, and there's a novel interest in comparing metabolic changes across nanoparticle species using gut organoids. This study used a mouse intestinal organoid combined with cell model to explore the differences in metabolites and toxicity mechanisms induced by exposure to three nanoplastics (PS, PTFE, and PMMA). The results showed that PS, PTFE, and PMMA exposure reduced mitochondrial membrane potential, intracellular ROS accumulation and oxidative stress, and inhibited the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Non-targeted metabolomics results confirmed that three types of nanoplastic particles regulate cellular status by regulating fatty acid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, necroptosis and autophagy pathways. More importantly, these representative metabolites were further validated in model groups after mouse intestinal organoids and HCT116 cells were exposed to the respective NPs, indicating that organoid metabolomics results can be used to effectively predict toxicity. Untargeted metabolomics is sensitive enough to detect subtle metabolomic changes when functional cellular analysis shows no significant differences. Overall, our study reveals the underlying metabolic mechanism of NPs-induced intestinal organoid toxicity and provides new insights into the possible adverse consequences of NPs.

Berberine alleviates chlorpyrifos-induced nephrotoxicity in rats via modulation of Nrf2/HO-1 axis. Heliyon 2024; 10:e25233. [PMID: 38327393 PMCID: PMC10847644 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e25233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPS), an organophosphorus insecticide, is widely used for agricultural and non-agricultural purposes with hazardous health effects. Berberine (BBR) is a traditional Chinese medicine and a phytochemical with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. The present study evaluated the effects of BBR against kidney damage induced by CPS and the underlying mechanisms. An initial study indicated that BBR 50 mg/kg was optimal under our experimental conditions. Then, 24 rats (6/group) were randomized into: control, BBR (50 mg/kg/day), CPS (10 mg/kg/day), and CPS + BBR. BBR was administration 1 h prior to CPS. Each treatment was delivered daily for a period of 28 consecutive days using a gastric gavage tube. Compared to CPS-alone treated rats, BBR effectively improved renal function by preventing the rise in serum urea, creatinine, and uric levels. The reno-protective effects of BBR were confirmed through a histological examination of kidney tissues. BBR restored oxidant-antioxidant balance in renal tissues mediated by Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 axis modulation. In addition, BBR decreased nitric oxide (NO) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. This was paralleled with the potent down-regulation of NF-κB. Furthermore, BBR exhibited anti-apoptotic activities supported by the upregulation of Bcl-2 and down-regulation of Bax and caspase-3 expression. In conclusion, our data suggest that BBR attenuates CPS-induced nephrotoxicity in rats by restoring oxidant-antioxidant balance and inhibiting inflammatory response and apoptosis in renal tissue. This is mediated, at least partly, by modulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 axis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widespread environmental pollutant which has serious toxic effects on organisms. One of the crucial trace elements is selenium (Se), whose shortage can harm biological tissues and enhance the toxicity of contaminants, in which apoptosis and autophagy are core events. OBJECTIVES An in vivo model was established to investigate the effects of BPA and low-Se on chicken pancreatic tissue, and identify the possible potential molecular mechanism. METHODS A total of 80 1-day-old broiler chickens (Xinghua Chicken Farm, Harbin, China) were stochastically divided into 4 groups (n = 20/group): Control group, BPA group, low-Se group, and low-Se + BPA group. Pancreatic tissue was collected at day 42 to detect changes in markers. RESULTS First, the data showed that BPA and low-Se exposure gave rose to structural abnormalities in pancreatic tissue, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and homeostasis imbalance, apoptosis and mitophagy. In addition, the co-exposure of BPA and low-Se caused the most serious damage to pancreatic tissue. In terms of mechanism, it was found that apoptosis and mitophagy induced by BPA and low-Se were related to the activation of PTEN/PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. CONCLUSION In summary, the study found that BPA and low-Se exacerbated mitochondria damage, apoptosis and mitophagy by regulating the PTEN/PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.

Abstract
Environmental pollution caused by pesticides is a growing concern. Pyridaben, a widely used organochlorine insecticide, is a representative water pollutant. Owing to its extensive usage, it has been detected in various aquatic ecosystems, including rivers and oceans. Pyridaben is highly toxic to aquatic organisms; however, the mechanism of its toxicity in the liver, which is important in toxicant metabolism, has not been studied. Therefore, we employed zebrafish and its well-characterized liver cell line, ZFL to assess pyridaben hepatotoxicity and explore its potential mechanisms of action. Pyridaben led to reduction of the liver size and fluorescence intensity of dsRed-labeled Tg (fabp10a:dsRed) zebrafish. It reduced the viability and proliferation of ZFL cells in vitro by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. These changes might be primarily linked to uncontrolled intracellular calcium flow in ZFL cells exposed to pyridaben. Additionally, it also downregulates the PI3K/Akt signaling cascade, leading to the inactivation of Gsk3β and nuclear translocation of β-catenin. Taken together, our findings suggest that pyridaben could have hepatotoxic effects on aquatic organisms. This study is the first to provide insight into the hepatotoxic mechanism of pyridaben using both in vivo and in vitro models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcomas are a type of highly heterogeneous malignant tumors originating from mesenchymal tissues. Necroptosis is intricately connected to the oncogenesis and progression of tumors. The main goal of this research is to assess the prognostic value of necroptosis-related lncRNAs (NRlncRNAs) in sarcomas and to develop a risk model based on NRlncRNAs to evaluate prognostic and immune status of the sarcomas. METHODS We screened NRlncRNAs using the gene co-expression network, developed a prognostic risk model of sarcomas, and then verified the model. Following that, various bioinformatics analysis algorithms were employed to analyze the distinct characteristics of patients of the risk model. Furthermore, the function and regulatory mechanism of NRlncRNA SNHG6 in sarcomas were investigated through osteosarcoma cell experiments, such as qRT-PCR, Western blot, CCK-8, clone formation, and transwell assay. RESULTS We successfully developed a NRlncRNAs-related prognostic risk model and screened 5 prognosis-related NRlncRNAs, with SNGH6 being the most significant for prognosis of patients. According to results, the significant differences exist in prognosis, clinical characteristics, and tumor immune status among patients of the risk model. The experiments of osteosarcoma cells demonstrated that NRlncRNA SNHG6 knockdown significantly attenuated the cells' proliferation, migration, and invasion. qRT-PCR and WB results showed that SNHG6 regulated AXL and AKT signaling. CONCLUSIONS We have developed an innovative investigation on NRlncRNAs, which can serve as a reference for diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis of sarcomas. Additionally, we demonstrated that NRlncRNA SNHG6 regulated AXL and AKT signaling in osteosarcoma cells and the proliferation, migration, and invasion of tumor cells.

Abstract
Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), a widely used class of plasticizers, has caused considerable concerns due to its widespread detection in various environmental media. However, the potential impact of BBP on the brain and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to 0, 5, 50, and 500 μg/L BBP for 28 days. Elevated levels of both reactive oxygen species and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine were observed, indicating the occurrence of oxidative stress and DNA damage. Furthermore, exposure to BBP resulted in neurotoxicity, apoptosis, and histopathological damage within the zebrafish brain. Transcriptome analysis further revealed that Gene Ontology terms associated with muscle contraction were specifically expressed in the brain after BBP exposure. In addition, BBP altered the transcriptome profile of the brain, with 293 genes induced and 511 genes repressed. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis highlighted the adverse effects of BBP on the complement and coagulation cascades and two cardiomyopathy-related pathways. Taken together, our results revealed that BBP resulted in brain oxidative stress, histological damage, and transcriptome alterations. These findings have the potential to offer novel insights into the adverse outcome pathways of key events in the brain.

Abstract
Triclosan (TCS), a widely used broad-spectrum antibacterial agent and preservative, is commonly found in products and environments. Widespread human exposure to TCS has drawn increasing attention from researchers concerning its toxicological effect. However, minimal studies have focused on the impact of TCS exposure on human stem cells. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of TCS exposure on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) and its molecular mechanisms. A series of experimental methods were conducted to assess cell viability, morphology, proliferation, differentiation, senescence, apoptosis, mitochondrial function, and oxidative stress after SHED exposure to TCS. Furthermore, transcriptome analysis was applied to investigate the response of SHED to different concentrations of TCS exposure and to explore the molecular mechanisms. We demonstrated that TCS has a dose-dependent proliferation and differentiation inhibition of SHED, while promoting cellular senescence, mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and oxidative stress, as well as significantly induces apoptosis and autophagy flux inhibition at high concentrations. Interestingly, no significant morphological changes in SHED were observed after TCS exposure. Transcriptome analysis of normal and TCS-induced SHED suggested that SHED may use different strategies to counteract stress from different concentrations of TCS and showed significant differences. We discovered that TCS mediates cellular injury of SHED by enhancing the expression of PTEN, thereby inhibiting the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and AKT as well as mTOR expression. Collectively, our findings provide a new understanding of the toxic effects of TCS on human stem cell fate, which is important for determining the risk posed by TCS to human health.

Abstract
T-2 toxin, is a monotrichous mycotoxin commonly found in animal feed and agricultural products that can damage tissues and organs through oxidative stress. Selenium is a trace element with favorable antioxidant effects. However, it is unclear whether T-2 toxin-induces ferroptosis in LMH cells and whether Na2SeO3 has a protective role in this process. To investigate the process of hepatic injury by T-2 toxin and its antagonistic effect by Na2SeO3, we used 20 ng/mL T-2 toxin as well as 160 nmol/L Na2SeO3 to treat the LMH cells. The results demonstrated that exposure to the T-2 toxin induced iron death by increasing the quantity of ROS, leading to oxidative damage, decreasing the quantities of SOD, GPx, and T-AOC, and increasing the accumulation of MDA and H2O2, which resulted in the accumulation of Fe2+ and the down-regulation of the manifestation of linked genes and proteins including FTH1, Gpx4, NQO-1, and HO-1. After the addition of Na2SeO3, the PI3K/AKT/Nrf2 pathway is activated by regulating the selenoproteins gene level, and the above abnormal changes are reversed. In summary, Na2SeO3 alleviated T-2 toxin-induced iron death via the PI3K/AKT/Nrf2 pathway. These study not only broaden the cytotoxic knowledge regarding T-2 toxin, but also serve as a foundation for the use of Na2SeO3 in daily life.

Abstract
This study was to evaluate the efficacy of an integrated mycotoxin-mitigating agent in reducing the adverse effects of co-occurring dietary aflatoxin B1 deoxynivalenol and ochratoxin A on broiler breeder hens. 360 30-week-old Hubbard Efficiency Plus broiler breeder hens were allocated into four groups and received a basal diet (BD; Control), BD added 0.15 mg/kg aflatoxin B1+1.5 mg/kg deoxynivalenol+0.12 mg/kg ochratoxin A (Toxins), BD plus Toxins with 0.1% TOXO-XL (Toxins + XL1), and BD plus Toxins with 0.2% TOXO-XL (Toxins + XL2), respectively, for 8 weeks, and then received the same BD for another 4 weeks. Compared with control, mycotoxins decreased total egg weigh, egg laying rate, settable eggs rate, hatch of total eggs rate, egg quality, but increased feed/egg ratio and mortality rate, and impaired the liver and oviduct health during weeks 1-8 and(or) 9-12. It also increased PC and MDA concentrations, TUNEL-positive cells and IL-1β and IL-6 expression, and decreased T-AOC, GPX and CAT activities in liver and/or oviduct. Notably, most of these negative changes were mitigated by both dosages of TOXO-XL. Generally, 0.2% TOXO-XL displayed better mitigation effects than 0.1% TOXO-XL. Conclusively, these findings revealed that TOXO-XL could mitigate the combined mycotoxins-induced toxicity on the performance, liver and oviduct health, through the regulation of redox, immunity, and apoptosis in broiler breeder hens.

[PMID: 37704162 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpc.2023.109744] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
Avermectin (AVM) is one of the most often used insecticides which is toxic to aquatic organisms, and cause oxidative-induced damages to the fish respiratory organ, the "gills". To better understand the mechanism by which an antioxidant reduces AVM-induced gill damage, we investigated the effects of Quercetin (Que) on AVM induction of oxidative stress to inhibit damages to the gills using common carp as a model organism. The Que is a fruit and vegetable rich flavonoid with antioxidant activity. In this study, four groups were created: the Control group, the Que group (400 mg/kg), the AVM group (2.404 μg/L), and the Que plus AVM group. The analytical methods were pathological structure examination, qPCR, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Western blot. The results showed that Que alleviated AVM-induced oxidative stress, inflammatory damage and apoptosis in the carp gills by activating the Nrf2 pathway. The mechanism was that Que alleviated the accumulation of ROS, reduced the balance between oxidation and antioxidant disrupted by AVM exposure, lowered the content of lipid peroxidation produced malondialdehyde (MDA), and increased the content of antioxidant enzymes including glutathione (GSH) and catalase (CAT). Nrf2 pathway was activated. Meanwhile, Que inhibited gill apoptosis in carp by decreasing the levels of Bax, Cytochrome C, Caspase9, Cleaved-Caspase3 and reduced Bcl2. This has important implications for future studies on Que and AVM. New suggestions are provided to reduce the threat of aquatic environmental pollution.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) plays a vital role in the control of various pests in agriculture and household life, even though some studies have indicated that CPF residues pose a significant risk to human health. Baicalin (BA) is a flavonoid drug with an obvious effect on the prevention and treatment of liver diseases. In this study, the protective effect of BA in vitro and in vivo was investigated by establishing a CPF-induced AML12 cell damage model and a CPF-induced Kunming female mouse liver injury model. The AML12 cell damage model indicated that BA had a good positive regulatory effect on various inflammatory factors, redox indexes, and abnormal apoptosis factors induced by CPF. The liver injury model of female mice in Kunming showed that BA significantly improved the liver function indexes, inflammatory response, and fibrosis of mice. In addition, BA alleviated CPF-induced AML12 cell damage and Kunming female mouse liver injury by enhancing autophagy and regulating apoptosis pathways through Western blotting. Collectively, these data suggest that the potential mechanism of BA is a multi-target and multi-channel treatment for chlorpyrifos-induced liver injury.

Abstract
The production of plastics worldwide has been instrumental in the progress of modern society, while the increasing accumulation of plastics castoff in oceans, soils and anywhere else has become a major pressure source on environmental sustainability and animal health. Meanwhile, from a biological perspective, our understanding of the toxicological fingerprints of plastics, especially microplastics (MPs), is still poor. Here, we reported a phenomenon of hepatotoxicity dominated by MPs in the form of polystyrene (PS), was observed in mice model systems and cellular assays. Apoptosis and necroptosis related to the size of particles were seen upon PS-MPs introduction, as revealed by transmission electron microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and quantitative analysis of signaling pathways in vivo and vitro. Collectively, the current study demonstrated that the levels of liver cell injury caused by PS-MPs were negatively correlated with the particle diameters. Small-sized particles (1-10 μm) induced cell death primarily as necroptosis whereas the large-sized particles (50-100 μm) mainly induced apoptosis, which was directly accomplished by PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling axis and its targeted autophagy flux. More interestingly, inhibition of autophagy not only alleviated PS-MPs-triggered cell death, but also changed the form of death injury to a certain extent. This uncovered crosstalk relationship opens up a new avenue for investigating the biological and toxicological effects of MPs, and may provide important insights for preventing and limiting of health hazards from MPs.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 196:105624. [PMID: 37945259 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF), a widely used organophosphate pesticide that has caused large-scale contamination globally, has become a major concern. Baicalein (BAI), as a flavonoid extract, shows anti-inflammatory as well as antioxidant activities. The kidneys of fish serve to excrete toxins and are major target organs for environmental contaminants. However, it is not obvious whether BAI can counteract the damage caused by CPF exposure to fish kidneys. Therefore, we conducted a 30-day simulation of CPF poisoning and/or BAI treatment by adding 23.2 μg/L CPF to water and/or 0.15 g/kg BAI to feed. In the transmission electron microscopy results, we observed obvious phenomenon of autophagy and apoptosis in the CPF group, and the TUNEL staining and immunofluorescence of LC3B and p62 double-staining results confirmed that CPF induced autophagy and apoptosis in the kidney of common carp. Furthermore, CPF induced the increase of ROS level and inhibition of PI3K and Nrf2 pathways, which in turn triggered oxidative stress, autophagy and apoptosis in carp kidney according to western blot, RT-qPCR and kit assays. However, addition of BAI significantly alleviated oxidative stress, autophagy and apoptosis due to binding to PI3K protein. Additionally, through phylogenetic tree and structural domain analyses, we also found that the binding sites of BAI and PI3K are conserved in a variety of representative species. These results suggest that BAI antagonizes CPF-caused renal impairments in carp involving the PI3K/AKT pathway and the Nrf2 pathway. Our findings provide new insights into the nephrotoxicity effects of CPF and the potential use of BAI as a detoxification agent for CPF intoxication.

Abstract
Trimethyltin chloride (TMT), a common component in fungicides and plastic stabilizers, presents environmental risks, particularly to fish farming. The precise toxicological mechanisms of TMT in L8824 grass carp liver cells remain undefined. Our study investigates TMT's effects on these cells, focusing on its potential to induce hepatotoxicity via oxidative stress and NF-κB pathway activation. First, we selected 0, 3, 6, and 12 μM as the challenge doses, according to the inhibitory concentration of 50% (IC50) of TMT. Our results demonstrate that TMT decreases cell viability dose-dependently and triggers oxidative stress, as evidenced by increased ROS staining and MDA content. Concurrently, it inhibited the antioxidant activities of T-AOC, T-SOD, CAT, and GSH. The activation of the NF-κB pathway was confirmed by gene expression changes. Furthermore, we observed an increase in cell apoptosis rate by AO/EB staining and cell flow cytometry, and the downregulation of Bcl-2 and the upregulation of Bax, Cytc, Caspase-9, and casp3 verified that TMT passed through the BCL2/BAX/casp3 pathway induces apoptosis. DNA damage was validated by the comet assay and γH2AX gene overexpression. Lastly, our data showed increased expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and INF-γ and decreased antimicrobial peptides, validating immune dysfunction. In conclusion, our findings establish that TMT induces apoptosis and DNA damage via ROS/NF-κB in grass carp liver cells, causing immune dysfunction. This study provides novel insights into the toxicology research of TMT and sheds light on the immunological effects of TMT toxicity, enriching our understanding of the immunotoxicity of TMT on aquatic organisms and contributing to the protection of ecosystems.

Abstract
Imidacloprid (IMI) and cadmium (Cd) are pollutants of concern in the environment. Although investigations about their combined toxicity to organisms such as earthworms, aquatic worms, Daphnia magna, and zebrafish have been carried out, their combined toxicity to mammals remains unknow. In this study, twenty-four 8-week-old mice were arbitrarily separated into 4 groups: CK (control group), IMI (15 mg/kg bw/day, 1/10 LD50), Cd (15 mg/kg bw/day, 1/10 LD50), and IMI + Cd (15 mg/kg bw/day IMI + 15 mg/kg bw/d Cd) and the combined toxic effects of IMI and Cd were examined with biochemical (oxidative stress testing) and omics approaches (metabolomics and lipidomics). The results revealed changes in each treatment group in terms of oxidative stress, abnormalities in lipid metabolism, and disturbances in amino acid metabolism. Co-administration had antagonistic effects on MDA accumulation and lipid metabolism disorders while acting synergistically on changes in SOD and GSH-Px activities. It is worth noting that after analysis, the changes caused by mixed administration in vivo were closer to those caused by IMI administration alone. This study provides new insights into the combined toxicity of neonicotinoids and heavy metals, which is helpful for relevant environmental governance and further investigations about their impacts on human health and the environment.

Abstract
Necroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death discovered in recent years, playing an important role in various diseases. Since it was conceptualized in 2005, research on necroptosis has developed rapidly. However, few bibliometric analyses have provided a comprehensive overview of the field. This study aimed to employ a bibliometric analysis to assess necroptosis research's current status and hotspot, highlight landmark findings, and orientate future research. A total of 3993 publications from the WoSCC were collected for this study. Multiple tools were used for bibliometric analysis and data visualization, including an online website, VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and HistCite. Publications related to necroptosis have increased significantly annually, especially in the last 5 years. Globally, the USA and Harvard University are the most outstanding countries and institutions in this field, respectively. The academic groups managed by Peter Vandenabeele and Junying Yuan both have permanent and intensive research on necroptosis. Cell Death and Differentiation is the most vital journal in this field. The molecular mechanisms of necroptosis and its role in disease are the focus of current research, while the crosstalk between programmed cell death is an emerging direction in the field. The "reactive oxygen species", "innate immunity", and "programmed cell death" may be potential research hotspots. Our results present a comprehensive knowledge map and explore research trends. Researchers and funding agencies on necroptosis can obtain helpful references from our study.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a typical organophosphate insecticide known to has serious toxicological effects on aquatic animals and causes many environmental contamination problems. To assess the effects of CPF on the epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells of the common carps from the point of calcium ion (Ca2+) transport, the CPF-exposed EPC models were primarily established, and both AO/EB staining and Annexin V/PI assay with flow cytometry analysis were subsequently implemented to identify that CPF-induced EPC cell apoptosis, in consistent with the up-regulated expression of BAX, Cyt-c, CASP3 and CASP9, and down-regulated BCL-2 expression. Then, Mag-Fluo-4 AM, Fluo-4 AM and Rhod-2 AM staining probes were co-stained with ER-Tracker Red and Mito-Tracker Green applied to image cellular Ca2+ flux, illuminating Ca2+ depleted from ER and flux into mitochondria, resulting in ER stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Additionally, 2-Aminoethyl Diphenylborinate (2-APB), 4-Phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) and Dorsomorphin (Compound C) were performed as the inhibitor of Ca2+ transition, ER stress and AMPK phosphorylation, suggesting CPF-mediated Ca2+ overload triggered ER stress. And the over-generation of Mito-ROS intensified oxidative stress, promoting the phosphorylation of AMPK and deteriorating cell apoptotic death. The results of this study demonstrated Ca2+ overload-dependent mitochondrial dysfunction engages in the CPF-induced apoptosis, providing a novel concept for investigating the toxicity of CPF as environmental pollution on aquatic organisms.

Abstract
The widespread use of pesticides performs a vital role in safeguarding crop yields and quality, providing the opportunity for multiple pesticides to co-exist, which poses a significant potential risk to human health. To assess the toxic effects caused by exposures to individual pesticides (chlorpyrifos, carbofuran and acetamiprid), binary combinations and ternary combinations, individual and combined exposure models were developed using HepG2 cells and the types of combined effects of pesticide mixtures were assessed using concentration addition (CA), independent action (IA) and combination index (CI) models, respectively, and the expression of biomarkers related to oxidative stress, apoptosis and cell necrosis was further examined. Our results showed that both individual pesticides and mixtures exerted toxic effects on HepG2 cells. The CI model indicated that the toxic effects of pesticide mixtures exhibited synergistic effects. The results of the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and apoptosis assay revealed that the pesticide mixture increased the release of LDH and apoptosis levels. Moreover, our results also showed that individual pesticides and mixtures disrupted redox homeostasis and that pesticide mixtures produced more intense oxidative stress effects. In conclusion, we have illustrated the enhanced combined toxicity of pesticide mixtures by in-vitro experiments, which provides a theoretical basis and scientific basis for further toxicological studies.

[PMID: 37389179 PMCID: PMC10300212 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.107025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteogenic differentiation (OD) of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) contributes significantly to the regeneration of bone defects. Resistin, an adipose tissue-specific secretory factor, has been shown to involve many different functions, including metabolism, inflammation, cancer, and bone remodeling. However, the effects and mechanisms of resistin on OD of BMSCs remain unclear. Herein, we demonstrated that resistin was highly expressed in BMSCs with OD. Upregulation of resistin contributed to the progression of OD of BMSCs by activating PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In addition, resistin facilitated OD by targeting transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ). In a rat femoral condyle bone defect model, local injection of resistin significantly promoted bone repair and improved bone formation. This work contributes to better understanding the mechanism of resistin directly involved in the OD and might provide a new therapeutic strategy for bone defect regeneration.

Abstract
The impacts of environmental PM 2.5 on public health have become a major concern all over the world. Many studies have shown that PM 2.5 still poses a threat to public health even at very low levels. Physical or chemical reactions occur between primary particles and other components in the environment, which changes the properties of primary particles. Such newly formed particles with changed properties are called secondary particles. Ozone-oxidized black carbon (oBC) is a key part of PM 2.5 and a representative secondary particle. Macrophages extracellular traps (METs) is a means for macrophages to capture and destroy invading pathogens, thereby exercising innate immunity. Necroptosis is a kind of programmed cell death, which is accompanied by the destruction of membrane integrity, thus inducing inflammatory reaction. However, there is no research on the crosstalk mechanism between necroptosis and MET after oBC exposure. In our study, AO/EB staining, SYTOX Green staining, fluorescent probe, qPCR, Western blot, and immunofluorescence were applied. This experiment found that under normal physiological conditions, when macrophages receive external stimuli (such as pathogens; in our experiment: phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)), they will form METs, capture and kill pathogens, thus exerting innate immune function. However, exposure to oBC can cause necroptosis in macrophages, accompanied by increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cytosolic calcium ions, as well as the expression disorder of inflammatory factors and chemokines, and prevent the formation of METs, lose the function of capturing and killing pathogens, and weaken the innate immune function. Notably, inhibition of necroptosis restored the formation of METs, indicating that necroptosis inhibited the formation of METs. This study was the first to explore the crosstalk mechanism between necroptosis and METs after oBC exposure.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic metal pollutant that still exists in the environment. The microRNA (miRNA) is a type of noncoding RNA that plays an important role in gene posttranscriptional regulation and disease development. Although the toxic effects of Cd have been extensively studied, studies on the mechanism of Cd from the perspective of miRNA are still limited. So, we established a Cd-exposure pig model, which confirmed that Cd exposure would cause pig artery damage. The miR-210 with the most reduced expression and the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) that had a targeting relationship with miR-210 were screened. The effect of miR-210/NF-κB on the artery damage induced by Cd exposure was investigated by acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining, reactive oxygen species (ROS) staining, quantitative PCR, and western blotting. The results showed that miR-210 inhibitor, pcDNA-NF-κB could induce ROS overproduction in pig hip artery endothelial cells, thus inducing Th1/Th2 imbalance and necroptosis, leading to increased inflammation, while small interfering RNA-NF-κB played a mitigating role. In conclusion, Cd can induce artery necroptosis and Th1/Th2 imbalance by regulating the miR-210/NF-κB axis, so as to lead to artery inflammatory damage. In this study, we explored the way in which Cd exposure causes artery damage in pig, providing a new perspective on the regulatory damage of miR-210/NF-κB axis.

Abstract
PM2.5 still poses a threat to public health even at very low levels. Black carbon (BC) is a key component of PM2.5. Macrophage extracellular traps (METs) are a means by which macrophages capture and destroy invading pathogens. Necroptosis is an inflammatory programmed cell death. However, there is no research on the crosstalk mechanism between necroptosis and METs after BC exposure. In our study, fluorescence labeling, fluorescent probes, qPCR, and immunofluorescence were applied. Our research found that under normal physiological conditions, when macrophages receive external stimuli (in our experiment, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)), they will form METs, thus exhibiting innate immune function. However, exposure to BC can cause necroptosis in macrophages accompanied by increased levels of ROS and cytosolic calcium ions as well as altered expression of inflammatory factors and chemokines that prevent the formation of METs, and weakening innate immune function. Notably, inhibition of necroptosis restored the formation of METs, indicating that necroptosis inhibits the formation of METs. Our experiment will enrich the understanding of the mechanism of macrophage injury caused by BC exposure, provide a new direction for studying harmful atmospheric particle toxicity, and propose new therapeutic insights for diseases caused by atmospheric particulate matter. This study is the first to explore the crosstalk mechanism between necroptosis and METs after BC exposure.

Abstract
Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a plasticizer and an endocrine disruptor. Microplastics (MPs) are pathogenic small plastic particles and abundant in the aqueous environment. The problem of residual hazards of plastic products is worthy of study, especially the joint exposure of a variety of plastic-related products to the toxic effect. We used 200 mg/kg DEHP and 10 mg/L MPs to establish exposure model in vivo and 2 mM DEHP and 200 μg/L MPs to establish AML12 cell exposure model in vitro. In vivo study results showed that compared with the control group (NC) group, DEHP and MPs significantly increased the contents of malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide, and significantly decreased the contents of glutathione and the activity of superoxide dismutase, total antioxidant capacity, catalase and glutathione peroxidase. The level of oxidative stress was further aggravated after combined exposure. The reactive oxygen species level of AML12 exposed to DEHP and MPs in vitro was significantly higher than NC group, and the combined exposure was significantly higher than the single exposure. The in vivo and in vitro also confirmed that DEHP and MPs could significantly increase the mRNA and protein levels of apoptosis markers and necroptosis markers and there was an additive effect. After N-acetylcysteine treatment in vitro, the above-mentioned oxidative stress level and cell damage decreased significantly. This study provided a reference for advocating the reduction of the mixed use of plastic products, and provided a basis for preventing the harm of plastic products residues.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) are now a hot environmental contaminant. However, researchers paid little attention to their effects on immune organs such as the thymus. Here, we exposed chickens to a concentration gradient of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) and then followed the decrease in the thymus index. HE staining showed cellular infiltration in the thymus. The assay kit corroborated that PS-MPs impelled oxidative stress in the thymus: increased MDA levels, downregulated antioxidants such as SOD, CAT, and GSH, and significantly undermined total antioxidant capacity. Western blotting and qRT-PCR results showed that Nrf2/NF-κB, Bcl-2/Bax, and AKT signaling pathways were activated in the thymus after exposure to PS-MPs. It stimulated the increased expression of downstream such as IL-1β, caspase-3, and Beclin1, triggering thymus inflammation, apoptosis, and autophagy. This study provides new insights into the field of microplastic immunotoxicity and highlights potential environmental hazards in poultry farming.

Abstract
1,4-Naphthoquinone-coated BC (1,4 NQ-BC) is an important component of PM2.5 and a representative secondary particle. However, there is no research on the crosstalk mechanism between necroptosis and macrophage extracellular traps (METs) after 1,4 NQ-BC exposure. In this study, we treated RAW264.7 cells with 50, 100, and 200 mg/L 1,4 NQ-BC for 24 h, with 10 μM necrostatin-1 for 24 h, and with 2.5 μM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) for 3 h. Our experiment revealed that under normal physiological conditions, when macrophages receive external stimuli (such as pathogens; in this experiment, PMA), they will form METs and capture and kill pathogens, thus exerting innate immune function. However, exposure to 1,4 NQ-BC can cause necroptosis in macrophages, accompanied by increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cytosolic calcium ions, as well as the expression disorder of inflammatory factors and chemokines, prevent the formation of METs, lead to loss of the function of capturing and killing pathogens, and weaken the innate immune function. Notably, inhibition of necroptosis restored the formation of METs, indicating that necroptosis inhibited the formation of METs. Our study was the first to explore the crosstalk mechanism between necroptosis and METs. This experiment will enrich the mechanism of macrophage injury caused by 1,4 NQ-BC exposure.

Abstract
Glyphosate can cause tissue damage such as liver and kidney in mammals. Tannin has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the effect of glyphosate on the growth of L8824 cell line and the effect of tannin on antagonism of glyphosate through the ROS/PTEN/PI3K/AKT axis are unclear. In this study, L8824 cells were treated with glyphosate (50 μg/mL) and/or tannin (4.5 μM) for 24 h to establish a model. The results showed that glyphosate exposure increased ROS and MDA levels, decreased CAT and SOD activities. PTEN was activated and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was inhibited. The P53/Bcl-2/Bax/CytC/Caspase3 and RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL pathways were also activated. In addition, the cytokines and antimicrobial peptides LEAP-2, TNF-α and IL-1β were increased while β-defensin, Hepcidin, IL-2 and IFN-γ were decreased. The use of tannin reduced the adverse effects of glyphosate exposure on L8824 cells significantly. In conclusion, tannin can trigger oxidative stress via PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway to cause apoptosis, necroptosis and immune dysfunction of L8824 cells.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is widely used in agriculture, plants, and buildings to kill pests and worms. Excessive environmental residues of CPF will result in soil and ecological contamination and toxicity to animals and humans. Baicalein (Bai), derived from the root of natural Scutellaria baicalensis, is a potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antitumor agent. The objective of this paper is to investigate the molecular mechanism by which Bai prevents CPF-induced hepatotoxic injury. Carp were kept in water containing CPF (23.2 μg/L) and/or fed diets containing Bai (0.15 g/kg). We found that Bai attenuated liver tissue damage and vacuolization caused by CPF. We confirmed that CPF causes M1/M2 polarization imbalance in macrophages and hepatocyte pyroptosis, which ultimately leads to liver injury. Further exploration of the internal mechanism shows that CPF participates in liver toxicity damage by destroying the AMPK/SIRT1/pGC-1α pathway and causing mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial dynamics imbalance. Notably, Bai significantly attenuated CPF-induced inhibition of the AMPK/SIRT1/pGC-1α pathway. In summary, our results suggest that Bai alleviates CPF exposure-induced inhibition of the AMPK/SIRT1/pGC-1α pathway, thereby attenuating macrophage M1 hyperpolarization and pyroptosis by inhibiting the NF-κB pathway. These results may provide new insights into the detoxification mechanism of Bai on the same type of organophosphorus pesticides.

Abstract
Ischaemic disorders are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While the current therapeutic approaches have improved life expectancy and quality of life, they are unable to "cure" ischemic diseases and instate regeneration of damaged tissues. Exosomes are a class of extracellular vesicles with an average size of 100-150 nm, secreted by many cell types and considered a potent factor of cells for paracrine effects. Since exosomes contain multiple bioactive components such as growth factors, molecular intermediates of different intracellular pathways, microRNAs and nucleic acids, they are considered as cell-free therapeutics. Besides, exosomes do not rise cell therapy concerns such as teratoma formation, alloreactivity and thrombotic events. In addition, exosomes are stored and utilized more convenient. Interestingly, exosomes could be an ideal complementary therapeutic tool for ischemic disorders. In this review, we discussed therapeutic functions of exosomes in ischemic disorders including angiogenesis induction through various mechanisms with specific attention to vascular endothelial growth factor pathway. Furthermore, different delivery routes of exosomes and different modification strategies including cell preconditioning, gene modification and bioconjugation, were highlighted. Finally, pre-clinical and clinical investigations in which exosomes were used were discussed.

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2023; 38:962-974. [PMID: 36655595 DOI: 10.1002/tox.23740] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Cadmium (Cd), a persistent and harmful heavy metal in the environment, can accumulate in the kidneys and cause nephrotoxicity. Selenium (Se) is a beneficial natural element that alleviates the toxicity of Cd. To ascertain the relationship between the protective mechanism of Se against Cd nephrotoxicity and ferroptosis and pyroptosis, we randomly divided 48 sheep into four groups and treated them with Cd chloride and/or sodium selenite for 50 days. The data confirmed that Cd apparently resulted in impaired kidney histology and function, depletion of GSH and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate contents and CAT and SOD activities, elevation of MDA level, as well as the reduction in selenoprotein mRNA (GPX1, GPX4, TXNRD1, SELP) levels and GPX4 protein level and immunofluorescence intensity. Meanwhile, Cd induced ferroptosis by causing iron overload, up-regulating PTGS2, NCOA4, TFR1, and LC3B mRNA levels and PTGS2 and LC3B-II/LC3B-I protein levels, reducing SLC7A11 and FTH1 mRNA and protein levels, and enhancing the immunofluorescence co-localization of FTH1/LC3B. Moreover, it was also found that Cd triggered pyroptosis, which was evidenced by the increase of NLRP3 immunohistochemical positive signal, GSDMD-N immunofluorescence intensity, IL-1β and IL-18 release and the levels of pyroptosis-related mRNA (NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1β and IL-18) and proteins (NLRP3, Caspase-1p20, GSDMD-N, IL-1β and IL-18). Notably, Se increased the expression level of GPX4 and the transcription factors TFAP2c and SP1, and ameliorated Cd-induced changes in aforementioned factors. In conclusion, GPX4 utilization by Se might be required to alleviate Cd-induced ferroptosis and pyroptosis in sheep kidney.

Abstract
Melanocyte damage, innate immune response, adaptive immune response, and immune inflammatory microenvironment disorders are involved in the development of the immunological pathogenic mechanism of vitiligo. Mesenchymal stem cells are considered an ideal type of cells for the treatment of vitiligo owing to their low immunogenicity, lower rates of transplant rejection, and ability to secrete numerous growth factors, exosomes, and cytokines in vivo. The regulation of signaling pathways related to oxidative stress and immune imbalance in the immunological pathogenesis of vitiligo can improve the immune microenvironment of tissue injury sites. In addition, co-transplantation with melanocytes can reverse the progression of vitiligo. Therefore, continuous in-depth research on the immunopathogenic mechanism involved in this disease and mesenchymal stem cell-based therapy is warranted for the treatment of vitiligo in the future.

Associations of single and multiple organophosphate pesticide exposure with female infertility in the USA: data from the 2015-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:23411-23421.

Abstract
Substantial evidence has shown that organophosphate pesticide (OPP) exposure altered the reproductive system functions, such as prolonged menstrual cycles, sexual hormone imbalance, and changes in ovarian weight. However, the association of OPP exposure with female infertility is unclear. We explored the relationships of four single OPP metabolites and their mixed exposure with self-reported infertility among women aged 20-50 in the USA using the data from two cycles (2015-2016 and 2017-2018) of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) by multiple logistic regression, Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR), and quantile g-computation (QGC). Eventually, 659 females were included in our study. Among these females, 77 participants were ever infertile. Multiple logistic regression showed that the odds ratios (ORs) in the second and third tertiles of dimethylphosphate (DMP) for female infertility were 2.53 (95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.20-5.32, P value = 0.016) and 2.96 (95%CI: 1.18-7.47, P value = 0.023) compared to the lowest tertile after adjusting for all covariates (P for trend = 0.022). A significantly positive association between the mixed OPP metabolites and infertility was observed in the BKMR model, in which DMP had the highest posterior inclusion probability (PIP = 0.741). The QGC model showed similar results, in which OPP metabolite mixtures increased the risk of female infertility, with DMP as a significantly positive contributor to the outcome. This study revealed the potential harm of OPP mixtures for female infertility in the USA, and DMP played the most critical role in female infertility risk among all OPP metabolites.

Abstract
Proteins do not only serve as nutrients to fulfill the demand for food, but also are used as a source of bioactive proteins/polypeptides for regulating physical functions and promoting physical health. Female breast cancer has the highest incidence in the world and is a serious threat to women's health. Bioactive proteins/polypeptides exert strong anti-tumor effects and exhibit inhibition of multiple breast cancer cells. This review discussed the suppressing effects of bioactive proteins/polypeptides on breast cancer in vitro and in vivo, and their mechanisms of migration and invasion inhibition, apoptosis induction, and cell cycle arrest. This may contribute to providing a basis for the development of bioactive proteins/polypeptides for the treatment of breast cancer. Graphical abstract

Abstract
Trimethyltin (TMT) is widely used as a major component of plastic stabilizers in agriculture and industry, and can accumulate in large quantities in the liver. To investigate the relationship between liver tissue damage induced by TMT exposure and YAP phosphorylation in mice, we gave the mice drinking water containing 0.01 mg/mL TMT for 14 days to establish an in vivo experimental model, and continuously treated AML12 cells with 20 μM TMT for 24 h to establish an in vitro experimental model. Transcriptomics revealed that TMT exposure altered 62,466 apparently diversely expressed genes, including 1197 upregulated and 899 downregulated genes, and that enrichment of the Hippo pathway occurred. Moreover, western blotting (WB) and quantitative real-time PCR (qRTPCR) results showed that TMT exposure triggered an increase in the expression of P-YAP, apoptosis and necroptosis-interrelated genes, and a decrease in Bcl-2 expression in mouse livers tissues and AML12 cells. The expression of P-YAP was significantly suppressed in the TRULI-treated TMT-exposed AML12 cells, while oxidative stress levels and damage were also significantly attenuated. In conclusion, TMT triggers YAP phosphorylation to induce oxidative stress inducing apoptosis and necroptosis in mouse livers tissues. Our results confirm the liver toxic effect and specific mechanism of TMT.

Abstract
Atrazine (ATR) is used worldwide and has been confirmed be hazardous materials that harmful to the health of organisms. Since ATR was more persistent in the water, the specific damage caused by ATR to aquatic organisms should be concern. The role of P450/ROS has been proposed in many pathomechanisms. To explore whether P450/ROS mediated necroptosis and promote inflammatory response caused by ATR exposure, 120 common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) were randomly divided into four groups which were exposed to 0 μg/L, 4 μg/L, 40 μg/L and 400 μg/L ATR respectively. The residual levels of ATR and its metabolites increased, signs of necrosis and inflammation were found in the gills of the ATR-treatment groups. The levels of ROS and cytochrome P450 content were increased, and P450 enzymes were activated. The expression levels of the core components of necroptosis (RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL) increased. Moreover, gene expression of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, NF-κB, iNOS, COX-2, IL-1β and PTGE) increased significantly in the ATR-spiked group. Our results suggested that ATR exposure triggered necroptosis through the P450/ROS pathway and causes inflammation of common carp gill. This study provides valuable clue about the mechanism by which ATR causes injury to common carp gill.
