Abstract
This research investigated the effect of cadmium on the tissue and cell of kidney of the turtle Mauremys reevesii. Twenty turtles were injected with cadmium at 0, 7.5, 15, 30 mg/kg separately and five turtles were taken in each group at two weeks after exposure. Kidneys were immediately excised and macroscopic pathological changes were observed, then the kidneys were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for histopathological examination and fixed in 2.5% (v/v) glutaraldehyde for examination of ultra-structure. The tissues of kidney presented varying degrees of histopathological lesions in cadmium treated turtles by a dose-dependent manner under the light microscope. Under transmission electron microscope, renal tubules cells presented varying degrees of dose-dependent lesions. The results indicated that cadmium can cause cell damages to the kidney, in particular to the mitochondria. Mitochondria can be used as one biomarker in the monitoring of cadmium pollution and its quantitative risk assessments.

Metabolites 2023; 13:722.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) represents a public health risk due to its non-biodegradability and long biological half-life. The main target of Cd is the kidney, where it accumulates. In the present narrative review, we assessed experimental and clinical data dealing with the mechanisms of kidney morphological and functional damage caused by Cd and the state of the art about possible therapeutic managements. Intriguingly, skeleton fragility related to Cd exposure has been demonstrated to be induced both by a direct Cd toxic effect on bone mineralization and by renal failure. Our team and other research groups studied the possible pathophysiological molecular pathways induced by Cd, such as lipid peroxidation, inflammation, programmed cell death, and hormonal kidney discrepancy, that, through further molecular crosstalk, trigger serious glomerular and tubular injury, leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Moreover, CKD is associated with the presence of dysbiosis, and the results of recent studies have confirmed the altered composition and functions of the gut microbial communities in CKD. Therefore, as recent knowledge demonstrates a strong connection between diet, food components, and CKD management, and also taking into account that gut microbiota are very sensitive to these biological factors and environmental pollutants, nutraceuticals, mainly present in foods typical of the Mediterranean diet, can be considered a safe therapeutic strategy in Cd-induced kidney damage and, accordingly, could help in the prevention and treatment of CKD.

Probing photoprotection properties of lipophilic chain conjugated thiourea-aryl group molecules to attenuate ultraviolet-A induced cellular and DNA damages. Sci Rep 2022; 12:20907.

Abstract
Ultraviolet-A (UVA) radiation is a major contributor to reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrite species (RNS), inflammation, and DNA damage, which causes photoaging and photocarcinogenesis. This study aimed to evaluate the UVA protective potential of lipophilic chain conjugated thiourea-substituted aryl group molecules against UVA-induced cellular damages in human dermal fibroblasts (BJ cell line). We tested a series of nineteen (19) molecules for UVA photoprotection, from which 2',5'-dichlorophenyl-substituted molecule DD-04 showed remarkable UVA protection properties compared to the reference (benzophenone). The results indicate that DD-04 significantly reduced intracellular ROS and nitric oxide (NO) as compared to the UVA-irradiated control (p < 0.001). Moreover, the compound DD-04 showed anti-inflammatory activity as it significantly reduced the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by THP-1 (human monocytic) cells (p < 0.05). DNA damage was also prevented by DD-04 treatment in the presence of UVA. It was observed that DD-04 significantly reduced the number of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) when compared to the UVA-irradiated control (p < 0.001). Finally, the DNA strand breaks were checked and a single intact DNA band was seen upon treatment with DD-04 in the presence of UVA. In conclusion, DD-04 can be considered a potential candidate UVA filter due to its photoprotective potential.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd), a toxic heavy metal, exists widely in the environment, which can enter organisms through a variety of ways and cause damage to various organs and tissues. However, the mechanism of lung toxicity in swine after Cd exposure is still unclear. To explore the molecular mechanism of swine lung damage caused by Cd exposure, we established the model of Cd exposure, and Cd chloride (20 mg/kg CdCl2) was added to the diet of swine for continuous exposure for 40 days. TUNEL staining showed that the apoptosis of swine lung increased significantly after Cd exposure. Meanwhile, the results of qRT-PCR showed that Cd induced oxidative stress and inhibited the expression of antioxidant enzymes including CAT, GCLM, GST, SOD, and GSH-px in lung tissue. Cd exposure activated mitochondrial apoptosis pathway via the TRAF2/ASK1/JNK signaling pathway. In brief, we considered that Cd exposure causes oxidative stress in lung and induces lung cell apoptosis through the TRAF2/ASK1/JNK pathway and increases the expression of HSPs to resist the toxicity of Cd. Our research enriches the theoretical basis of Cd toxicity and provides reference for comparative medicine.

Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2021; 242:108946.

Abstract
An 8X15k oligonucleotide microarray was developed consisting of 2334 Eubalaena glacialis probes and 2166 Tursiops truncatus probes and used to measure the effects, at transcriptomic level, of cadmium exposure in right whale kidney fibroblast cells. Cells were exposed to three concentrations (1 μM, 0.1 μM, and 0.01 μM) of cadmium chloride (CdCl2) for three exposure times (1, 4, and 24 h). Cells exposed to 1 μM CdCl2 for 4 h and 24 h showed upregulated genes involved in protection from metal toxicity and oxidative stress, protein renaturation, apoptosis inhibition, as well as several regulators of cellular processes. Downregulated genes represented a suite of functions including cell proliferation, transcription regulation, actin polymerization, and stress fiber synthesis. The collection of differentially expressed genes in this study support proposed mechanisms of cadmium-induced apoptosis such as ubiquitin proteasome system disruption, Ca2+ homeostasis interference, mitochondrial membrane potential collapse, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and cell cycle arrest. The results also have confirmed the right whale microarray as a reproducible tool in measuring differentiated gene expression that could be a valuable asset for transcriptome analysis of other baleen whales and potential health assessment protocols.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a key role in the regulation of physiological processes in mammals. The decline in H2S level has been reported in numerous renal disorders. In animal models of renal disorders, treatment with H2S donors could restore H2S levels and improve renal functions. H2S donors suppress renal dysfunction by regulating autophagy, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation through multiple signaling pathways, such as TRL4/NLRP3, AMP-activated protein kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin, transforming growth factor-β1/Smad3, extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1/2, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and nuclear factor kappa B. In this review, we summarize recent developments in the effects of H2S donors on the treatment of common renal diseases, including acute/chronic kidney disease, renal fibrosis, unilateral ureteral obstruction, glomerulosclerosis, diabetic nephropathy, hyperhomocysteinemia, drug-induced nephrotoxicity, metal-induced nephrotoxicity, and urolithiasis. Novel H2S donors can be designed and applied in the treatment of common renal diseases.

Abstract
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the first rate-limiting enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway. One of the enzyme's most important functions is the production of a reducing agent that is essential for preserving the level of reduced glutathione (GSH). However, some chemicals, such as industrial waste and the active ingredients of several drugs, can cause reduction or blockage in this enzyme's activity. This case causes the occurrence of anemia by damaging erythrocytes. In this study, the G6PD enzyme was purified 21,981 fold with affinity chromatography and the effects of the active ingredients of some antiarrhythmic drugs on enzyme activity were investigated with in vitro and in silico methods. We found that dobutamine hydrochloride significantly decreased enzyme activity and its inhibitory constant (Ki) value was calculated as 19.02 ± 4.83 mM. The in vitro study results also show that dobutamine hydrochloride is a potent inhibitor of enzyme activity. We also found that dobutamine hydrochloride inhibits the hG6PD enzyme's activity by causing structural alterations in substrate and coenzyme binding sites.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The present investigation was executed to reveal the protective mechanism of rosmarinic acid (RA) against cadmium (Cd)-induced nephrotoxicity. RA exhibited a concentration-dependent anti-apoptotic effect against CdCl2 in isolated mouse proximal tubular epithelial cells. Cd treatment significantly (p < 0.01) imparted oxidative stress to the renal cells via excessive ROS production, triggering NO level, NADPH oxidase activation, and impairment of cellular redox defense system. Cd-mediated oxidative stress significantly (p < 0.01) endorsed apoptosis to the murine kidney cells by triggering NF-κB/PKC-δ/TNFR2 activation. In addition, CdCl2 induced renal fibrosis by triggering TGF-β1/SMAD3/α-SMA/collagen signaling within renal cells. On the other hand, RA significantly (p < 0.05-0.01) attenuated Cd-provoked oxidative stress and associated pathological signal transduction in murine renal cells. RA treatment also could significantly (p < 0.05-0.01) reciprocate Cd-mediated pathological changes in blood and urine parameters in mice. In addition, histological data supported the pharmacological findings. In silico chemometric analyses predicted the possible interactions between RA and different signal proteins and anticipated drug-likeness characteristics of RA. Hence, RA can potentially be applied as a therapeutic agent to treat Cd-mediated nephrotoxicity in future.

Abstract
A number of studies have reported that cadmium (Cd) can incur liver and kidney injuries. The recruitment and activation of leukocytes have been demonstrated to be involved in Cd-induced biological effects. Ironically, activated leukocytes and secreted cytokines are also reported to be required for the later recovery of the damaged tissues. Yet, the mechanisms driving the production of leukocytes have not been fully elucidated. Heme-regulated eIF2α kinase (HRI) is essential for translational regulation and stressed erythropoiesis in iron deficiency. Meanwhile, HRI is important in the maturation and function of macrophages, indicating that HRI might be indispensable for the development and function of other myeloid lineages. Apart from macrophages, whether HRI regulates the production of leukocytes and further affects Cd-induced tissue injuries is still elusive. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the role of HRI in liver and kidney injuries and the associated mechanisms upon Cd exposure. We found that Cd-exposed mice showed impaired production of leukocytes and developed morphological disorders in liver and kidney. Furthermore, Hri null mice exhibited a reduced number of monocytes and neutrophils and compromised cytokine production, relative to wild-type mice. Absence of Hri also exacerbated the impairments of liver and kidney upon Cd treatment. Together, these results highlighted a crucial role of HRI in protecting liver and kidney against Cd-induced injuries through inducing the development of monocytes and neutrophils. Our results further extended the understanding of HRI on the regulation of non-erythroid lineages and might provide new aspects for preventing and treating Cd-induced detrimental effects.

Abstract
Over the last decade, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as an important endogenous gasotransmitter in mammalian cells and tissues. Similar to the previously characterized gasotransmitters nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, H2S is produced by various enzymatic reactions and regulates a host of physiologic and pathophysiological processes in various cells and tissues. H2S levels are decreased in a number of conditions (e.g., diabetes mellitus, ischemia, and aging) and are increased in other states (e.g., inflammation, critical illness, and cancer). Over the last decades, multiple approaches have been identified for the therapeutic exploitation of H2S, either based on H2S donation or inhibition of H2S biosynthesis. H2S donation can be achieved through the inhalation of H2S gas and/or the parenteral or enteral administration of so-called fast-releasing H2S donors (salts of H2S such as NaHS and Na2S) or slow-releasing H2S donors (GYY4137 being the prototypical compound used in hundreds of studies in vitro and in vivo). Recent work also identifies various donors with regulated H2S release profiles, including oxidant-triggered donors, pH-dependent donors, esterase-activated donors, and organelle-targeted (e.g., mitochondrial) compounds. There are also approaches where existing, clinically approved drugs of various classes (e.g., nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories) are coupled with H2S-donating groups (the most advanced compound in clinical trials is ATB-346, an H2S-donating derivative of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory compound naproxen). For pharmacological inhibition of H2S synthesis, there are now several small molecule compounds targeting each of the three H2S-producing enzymes cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine-γ-lyase, and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase. Although many of these compounds have their limitations (potency, selectivity), these molecules, especially in combination with genetic approaches, can be instrumental for the delineation of the biologic processes involving endogenous H2S production. Moreover, some of these compounds (e.g., cell-permeable prodrugs of the CBS inhibitor aminooxyacetate, or benserazide, a potentially repurposable CBS inhibitor) may serve as starting points for future clinical translation. The present article overviews the currently known H2S donors and H2S biosynthesis inhibitors, delineates their mode of action, and offers examples for their biologic effects and potential therapeutic utility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arsenic (As) contamination is an extremely dangerous global environmental problem as it can enter into the food chain and become bio-accumulated, endangering human health. Chronic As intoxication leads to undesirable toxic effects in various organ systems of the body, especially the kidney. Diallyl trisulfide (DATS) is an organosulfur compound which has been widely known for its uses as antibacterial, antitumorogenic, antioxidant agent and has been also reported to have anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties. PURPOSE In the present work, we intend to investigate the protective role of DATS, a garlic organosulfur compound in preventing the As-induced oxidative stress mediated renal injury in rats. Study design The activity of DATS to antagonize As-induced renal oxidative toxicity was analyzed using rats as an in vivo model. METHODS We investigated the nephroprotective effect of DATS on As treated rats by performing various serological, biochemical, molecular and histological studies. The activation of Nrf2 was investigated using western blot. RESULTS The data showed that As exposure significantly increased the serum and urine nephritic, oxidative stress, apoptosis and inflammatory markers in the renal tissue of rats. As intoxication also decreased the antioxidant status of the renal tissue along with the disturbances in the membrane bound ATPases. As nephrotoxicity was further confirmed with the altered morphological and ultrastructural changes in the renal tissue. Conversely, the DATS pre-administration effectively recuperate the altered renal variables by As, which has been further supported by the histological and ultrastructural observations. This counteraction was achieved partially via the activation of Nrf2-ARE pathway through the activation of Akt. CONCLUSION These findings explicate the prospective use of DATS as a promising organosulfur compound against As-induced renal oxidative dysfunction in rats.

Abstract
Ion-induced change in fluorescence is a straight-forward method for detection of toxic metal ions showing immediate response. Cadmium ions are toxic to the environment. We report in this paper a piperidine-4-one-based fluorescent chemosensor of Cd2+ ions, designed and synthesized by a simple method. The compound is characterized using infra-red (IR) and 1 H-NMR spectral techniques. The chemosensor showed Cd2+ ion selectivity and sensitivity in aqueous solution. The stoichiometry and the binding constants were determined using fluorescence spectroscopy. Piperidine-4-one shows a 1:1 stoichiometric binding to Cd2+ . The limit of detection of Cd2+ was reported.

Abstract
We have developed a novel naphthalimide-based Cd(2+) fluorescent probe (1), featuring almost no background response, high sensitivity and selectivity toward Cd(2+) through its high association constant [K=(2.10±0.423)×10(6) ], and a practical working pH range. Membrane-permeability was conferred on 1 by replacing the imide and amide substituents with n-butyl groups, and hence the derivative (4) has found practical utility on fluorescent imaging of Cd(2+) in HeLa cells. Comparison of fluorescent properties between various compounds derived from 1 has demonstrated that the carbamoylmethyl groups in 1 function not only as Cd(2+) chelators but also as promoters for photoinduced electron transfer (PET) by lowering the basicity of the two tertiary amino groups. As a result, 1 and 4 exhibited highly practical performance as Cd(2+) probes under neutral conditions.

Abstract
Molybdenum (Mo) is an essential element for human beings and animals; however, high dietary intake of Mo can lead to adverse reactions. Cadmium (Cd) is harmful to health. To investigate the toxicity of Mo combined with Cd in duck kidneys, 240 ducks were randomly divided into six groups and treated with a commercial diet containing Mo, Cd or Mo combined with Cd. Kidneys were collected on days 30, 60, 90 and 120 for determining the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs), including HSP60, HSP70 and HSP90 in the kidney through quantitative RT-PCR. We also determined the antioxidant activity indexes in the kidney mitochondria. Moreover, kidney tissues at 120 days were subjected to histopathological analysis with the optical microscope. The results indicated that the expression of HSPs was highly significantly (P < 0.01) upregulated in the kidneys of the combination groups and the Cd group. Exposure to Cd and a high dose of Mo decreased the total antioxidative capacity and the activity of xanthine oxidase, while malondialdehyde levels and the activity of nitric oxide synthase increased compared with those of the control groups in the kidney mitochondria. This was particularly evident at 90 and 120 days. Histopathological lesions included congestion and bleeding in the renal interstitium, swelling of the distal convoluted tubule epithelial cells, granular degeneration and blister degeneration in the renal tubular epithelial cells. These results suggest that a combination of Mo and Cd leads to greater tissue damage and has a synergistic effect on kidney damage. Oxidative damage of kidney mitochondria may be a potential nephrotoxicity mechanism of molybdenum and cadmium, and the high expression of HSPs may play a role in the resistance of kidney toxicity induced by Mo and Cd.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dendropanax morbifera Léveille is used in herbal medicine as a cancer treatment. In this study, we investigated the effects of Dendropanax morbifera stem extract (DMS) on cadmium (Cd) excretion from the blood and kidney and brain tissues of rats exposed to cadmium, as well as the effects of DMS on oxidative stress and antioxidant levels in the hippocampus after Cd exposure. METHODS Seven-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 2 mg/kg of cadmium by intragastric gavage and were orally administered 100 mg/kg of DMS for 4 weeks. Animals were sacrificed and Cd determination was performed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. In addition, the effects of Cd and/or DMS on oxidative stress were assayed by measuring reactive oxygen species production, protein carbonyl modification, lipid peroxidation levels, and antioxidant levels in hippocampal homogenates. RESULTS Exposure to Cd significantly increased Cd content in the blood, kidneys, and hippocampi. DMS treatment significantly reduced Cd content in the blood and kidneys, but not in the hippocampi. Exposure to Cd significantly increased reactive oxygen species production, protein carbonyl modification, lipid peroxidation, total sulfhydryl content, reduced glutathione content, and glutathione reductase activity. In contrast, Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity in the hippocampus were significantly decreased after exposure to Cd, and administration of DMS significantly inhibited these Cd-induced changes. CONCLUSION These results indicate that DMS facilitates cadmium excretion from the kidneys, reduces cadmium-induced oxidative stress in the hippocampus, and modulates SOD1, CAT, GPx, and glutathione-S-transferase activities.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) contamination is a highly dangerous international problem because it can transfer into the food chain and become bioaccumulated, endangering human health. Cd detoxication is very interesting particularly the method providing no undesirable side effects. Cd also causes lipid oxidation that leads to undesired food quality. Garlic (Allium sativum L.) has been used as conventional food and in herbal therapy and folklore medicine as an antibacterial, antitumorogenic, and antioxidant agent for over 5000 years. In the present work, fresh garlic and pickled garlic extracted with distilled water was brought to determine antioxidant activities in terms of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay, 2,2′-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging assay, ferric reducing ability power (FRAP) assay, chelating activities, superoxide, and hydroxyl scavenging assay. The data showed that pickled garlic extracts significantly possessed more DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, superoxide, and hydroxyl scavenging assays as 11.86, 13.74, 4.9, 46.67, and 15.33 g trolox equivalent/g sample, respectively, compared with fresh one as 7.44, 7.62, 0.01, 4.07, and 8.09 g trolox equivalent/g sample, respectively. However, iron chelating activity of fresh garlic extract was higher than that of pickled garlic while there was no significant difference in the copper chelating activity of both extracts. For anti-Cd properties, pickled garlic was more effective than fresh garlic and contained less toxicity than standard diallyl disulfide (DADS). Therefore, therapeutic properties of pickled garlic favored its consumption compared with fresh and standard DADS for its antioxidant and anti-Cd properties.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is an environmental and industrial pollutant that can induce a broad spectrum of toxicological effects that affect various organs in humans and experimental animals. This study aims to investigate the effect of betaine supplementation on cadmium-induced oxidative impairment in rat kidney. The animals were divided into four groups (n=10 per group): control, cadmium, betaine and betaine+cadmium (1) saline control group; (2) cadmium group in which cadmium chloride (CdCl2) was given orally at a daily dose of 5 mg/kg body weight for four weeks; (3) betaine group, in which betaine was given to rats at a dose of 250 mg/kg/day, orally via gavage for six weeks; (4) cadmium+betaine group in which betaine was given at a dose of 250 mg/kg/day, orally via gavage for two weeks prior to cadmium administration and concurrently during cadmium administration for four weeks. Cadmium nephrotoxicity was indicated by elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine levels. Kidneys from cadmium-treated rats showed an increase in lipid peroxidation measured as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) concentration and reductions in total antioxidant status (TAS), reduced glutathione (GSH) content, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, superoxide dismutase concentration (SOD) and catalase activity. Caspase-3 activity, a marker of DNA damage was also elevated in renal tissues of cadmium-treated rats. Pre-treatment of rats with betaine substantially attenuated the increase in BUN and serum creatinine levels. Betaine also inhibited the increase in TBARS concentration and reversed the cadmium-induced depletion in total antioxidant status, GSH, GSH-Px, SOD and catalase concentrations in renal tissues. Renal caspase-3 activity was also reduced with betaine supplementation. These data emphasize the importance of oxidative stress and caspase signaling cascade in cadmium nephrotoxicity and suggest that betaine pretreatment reduces severity of cadmium nephrotoxicity probably via antioxidant action and suppression of apoptosis.

Sinha K, Pal PB, Sil PC. Cadmium (Cd(2+)) exposure differentially elicits both cell proliferation and cell death related responses in SK-RC-45. Toxicol In Vitro 2013; 28:307-18.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd(2+)) is a major nephrotoxic environmental pollutant, affecting mostly proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) cells of the mammalian kidney, while conditionally Cd(2+) could also elicit protective responses with great variety and variability in different systems. The present study was designed to evaluate the molecular mechanism of Cd(2+) toxicity on human PCT derived Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC), SK-RC-45 and compare its responses with normal human PCT derived cell line, NKE. Exposure of SK-RC-45 cells with different concentrations of CdCl2 (e.g. 0, 10 and 20μM) in serum free medium for 24h generate considerable amount of ROS, accompanied with decreased cell viability and alternations in the cellular and nuclear morphologies, heat shock responses and GCLC mediated protective responses. Also phosphatidylserine externalization, augmentation in the level of caspase-3, PARP, BAD, Apaf1 and cleaved caspase-9 along with decreased expression of Bcl2 and release of cytochrome c confirmed that, Cd(2+) dose dependently induces solely intrinsic pathway of apoptosis in SK-RC-45, independent of JNK. Furthermore, the non-toxic concentration (10μM) of Cd(2+) induced nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and increased expression in the level of HO-1 enzyme suggesting that at the milder concentration, Cd(2+) induces protective signaling pathways. On the other hand, exposure of NKE to different concentrations of CdCl2 (e.g. 0, 10, 20, 30 and 50μM) under the same conditions elevate stronger heat shock and SOD2 mediated protective responses. In contrary to the RCC PCT, the normal PCT derived cell follows JNK dependent and extrinsic pathways of apoptosis. Cumulatively, these results suggest that Cd(2+) exposure dose dependently elicit both cell proliferative and cell death related responses in SK-RC-45 cells and is differentially regulated with respect to normal kidney epithelia derived NKE cells.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) exposure is considered as a risk factor responsible for renal impairment in humans. On the other hand, the halophyte Sarcocornia perennis is a fresh vegetable crop suitable for leafy vegetable production. This study was designed to evaluate the in vitro protective activity of S. perennis against lead-induced damages in HEK293 kidney cells. Morphological and biochemical indicators were used to assess cytotoxicity and oxidative damages caused by Pb treatment on the cells. Our results showed that lead induced (1) a decrease in cell viability (MTT), (2) cell distortion and cohesion loss, (3) superoxide anion production and lipid peroxidation. Conversely, addition of S. perennis extract to the lead-containing medium alleviated every above syndrome. Thus, cell survival was increased and the production of reactive oxygen species caused by Pb treatment was inhibited. Taken together, our study revealed that S. perennis has potent cytoprotective effect against Pb-induced toxicity in HEK 293 cell. Such action would proceed through the decrease in ROS levels and resulting oxidative stress, which suggests a potential interest of this halophyte in the treatment of oxidative-stress related diseases.

Abstract
High doses of acetaminophen (APAP; N-acetyl-p-aminophenol) cause severe hepatotoxicity after metabolic activation by cytochrome P450 2E1. This study was undertaken to examine the preventive effects of thiacremonone, a compound extracted from garlic, on APAP-induced acute hepatic failure in male C57BL/6J. Mice received with 500 mg/kg APAP after a 7-day pretreatment with thiacremonone (10–50 mg/kg). Thiacremonone inhibited the APAP-induced serum ALT and AST levels in a dose-dependent manner, and markedly reduced the restricted area of necrosis and inflammation by administration of APAP. Thiacremonone also inhibited the APAP-induced depletion of intracellular GSH, induction of nitric oxide, and lipid peroxidation as well as expression of P450 2E1. After APAP injection, the numbers of Kupffer cells, natural killer cells, and cytotoxic T cells were elevated, but the elevated cell numbers in the liver were reduced in thiacremonone pretreated mice. The expression levels of I-309, M-CSF, MIG, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, IL-7, and IL-17 were increased by APAP treatment, which were inhibited in thiacremonone pretreated mice. These data indicate that thiacremonone could be a useful agent for the treatment of drug-induced hepatic failure and that the reduction of cytotoxic immune cells as well as proinflammatory cytokine production may be critical for the prevention of APAP-induced acute liver toxicity.

Abstract
A new two-photon fluorescent Cd(2+) probe APQ is developed by introducing a N(1),N(1)-dimethyl-N(2)-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine binding group and a 4-methoxyphenylvinyl conjugation-enhancing group to the 2- and 6-positions of quinoline. This probe shows a large red shift and good emission enhancement under Cd(2+) binding. It also exhibits a high ion selectivity for Cd(2+) (especially over Zn(2+)) and a large two-photon absorption cross section at 710 nm. Two-photon microscopy imaging studies reveal that the new probe is non-toxic and cell-permeable and can be used to detect intracellular Cd(2+) under two-photon excitation.

Abstract
A polypyridyl ligand, 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexakis(2-pyridyl)dipyrazino[2,3-f:2',3'-h]quinoxaline (HPDQ), was found to have excellent fluorescent selectivity for Cd(2+) over many other metal ions (K(+), Na(+), Ca(2+), Mg(2+), Mn(2+), Fe(2+), Ni(2+), Co(2+), Cu(2+), Ag(+), Hg(2+), Zn(2+), and Cr(3+)) based on the intramolecular charge-transfer mechanism, which makes HPDQ a potential fluorescence sensor or probe for Cd(2+). An obvious color change between HPDQ and HPDQ + Cd(2+) can be visually observed by the naked eye. The structure of the complex HPDQ-Cd has been characterized by X-ray crystallography. Density functional theory calculation results on the HPDQ and HPDQ-Cd complexes could explain the experimental results.

Abstract
PURPOSE In our previous study, we demonstrated that diallyl trisulfide (DATS) induced iron-dependent G2-M arrest of prostate cancer cell cycle. Moreover, ferritin degradation and an increase of labile iron pool has been linked to the activation of the JNK signaling axis. In the present work, we extended this study to determine which of the c-jun kinases is responsible for ferritin degradation and the role of iron in DATS-induced cell death. We hypothesized that JNK1 activates Itch ligase which will lead to ferritin ubiquitination, an increase in iron-dependent ROS formation and cell death. METHODS PC-3 prostate cancer cells were used in this study. Cell viability, concentration of ROS, labile iron pool, and changes in ferritin and P-Itch and DNA damage were determined. RESULTS We observed that DATS induced ferritin degradation through JNK, Itch signaling axis. DATS did not induce neither ROS formation nor increase the LIP in JNK1-DN transfected cells. We also observed that DATS increased JNK-dependent activating phosphorylation of E3ligase Itch. The cells transfected with inactive form of Itch were more resistant against cytotoxicity of DATS and showed lower DATS-induced ferritin degradation. Desferrioxamine a specific iron chelator had no effect neither on cell viability nor DNA damage evaluated by comet assay. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that JNK1-dependent increase in LIP is mediated by Itch ubiquitin ligase.

Abstract
The roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial damage in the cadmium (Cd)-induced injury of liver cells were studied by using N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) and acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride (ALCAR). After exposure of experimental rats to cadmium (Cd) for 16 h, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), ROS production, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, glutathione (GSH) content, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and DNA single-strand break (DNA-SSB) were analyzed. Loss of MMP, increase of ROS production, inhibition of GSH-Px activity, elevation of GSH content, rise of MDA content and DNA-SSB level suggest the participation of ROS and mitochondrion in Cd-induced injury of liver cell. NAC pretreatment attenuated oxidative stress, reversed the decline in GSH-Px activity and reduced GSH and MDA levels significantly. However, Cd-induced loss in MMP was significantly exacerbated by NAC. For another, ALCAR did not perform as well as NAC in terms of reducing ROS production, restoring GSH-Px activity and reducing GSH content. Nevertheless, it significantly improved the recovery of MMP and reduction of MDA content. In addition, conspicuous DNA damage was observed in the samples treated with NAC or ALCAR, indicating Cd could attack DNA through other pathways. These results suggest that oxidative stress or mitochondrial impairment plays a main role in different injuries respectively.

Abstract
The injurious effect of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) on renal epithelial cells of the African green monkey (Vero cells) and the difference in the modulation of Vero cells on crystal growth of calcium oxalate (CaOxa) before and after injury were investigated. The degree of injury of Vero cells was proportional to the concentration and action time of H(2)O(2). After the cells had been injured, the released amount of malonaldehyde in the culture medium increased, the superoxide dismutase activity decreased, the expression quantity of osteopontin on the surface of Vero cells increased significantly, the zeta potential became more negative, and the amount of CaOxa crystals adhering to cells increased. The CaOxa crystals induced by the cells in the control group were round and blunt; however, those induced by the injured cells had irregular shapes with sharp edges and corners. As the crystallization time increased from 6 to 24 h, the size of the crystals induced by the injured cells increased accordingly, whereas that of crystals induced by the control cells did not increase significantly. The injured cells could promote the growth of CaOxa crystals and their adhesion to the cells; thus, the formation of CaOxa stones was promoted. The cells in the control group could also be injured after being incubated with supersaturated CaOxa solution for a long time, which promoted the crystallization of CaOxa. The results suggest that the retention of supersaturated CaOxa solution or CaOxa crystals in the urinary tract for a long time is a risk factor for the formation of kidney stones.

Abstract
In the present study, female Sprague-Dawley rats received CdCl(2) (50 mg/L through drinking water) and/or N-acetylcysteine (NAC, 120 mg/kg/day, orally) to investigate the protective effect of NAC on Cd-induced renal damage. Renal toxicity was evaluated by measuring the contents of total protein, beta(2)-microglobulin, and alpha(1)-microglobulin in the urine and urinary enzyme markers of tubular necrosis, as well as levels of serum urea nitrogen and serum creatinine. Activities of antioxidant enzymes and contents of glutathione, malondialdehyde, and trace elements in the kidney were also measured. Animals that received both Cd and NAC showed a better renal function than those receiving Cd alone. In addition, NAC significantly reduced the levels of lipid peroxidation (LPO) in the kidney of cadmium-treated rats. The enzymic and nonenzymatic antioxidants levels are not restored, but their further decrease is prevented by NAC. Also NAC administration does not modify the urinary excretion of cadmium or contents of cadmium in the serum and kidney. In conclusion, NAC exerts its protective effect by decreased LPO and improving antioxidants status to prevent renal tubular damage induced by chronic Cd administration, most probably through its antioxidant properties.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sulfur compounds isolated from garlic exert anti-inflammatory properties. We recently isolated thiacremonone, a novel sulfur compound from garlic. Here, we investigated the anti-inflammatory and arthritis properties of thiacremonone through inhibition of NF-kappaB since NF-kappaB is known to be a target molecule of sulfur compounds and an implicated transcription factor regulating inflammatory response genes. METHODS The anti-inflammatory and arthritis effects of thiacremone in in vivo were investigated in 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced ear edema, carrageenan and mycobacterium butyricum-induced inflammatory and arthritis models. Lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide (NO) production was determined by Griess method. The DNA binding activity of NF-kappaB was investigated by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. NF-kappaB and inducible nitric oxide synthetase (iNOS) transcriptional activity was determined by luciferase assay. Expression of iNOS and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was determined by western blot. RESULTS The results showed that topical application of thiacremonone (1 or 2 microg/ear) suppressed the 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced (1 microg/ear) ear edema. Thiacremonone (1-10 mg/kg) administered directly into the plantar surface of hind paw also suppressed the carrageenan (1.5 mg/paw) and mycobacterium butyricum (2 mg/paw)-induced inflammatory and arthritic responses as well as expression of iNOS and COX-2, in addition to NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity. In further in vitro study, thiacremonone (2.5-10 microg/ml) inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 microg/ml)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production, and NF-kappaB transcriptional and DNA binding activity in a dose dependent manner. The inhibition of NO by thiacremonone was consistent with the inhibitory effect on LPS-induced inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and COX-2 expression, as well as iNOS transcriptional activity. Moreover, thiacremonone inhibited LPS-induced p50 and p65 nuclear translocation, resulting in an inhibition of the DNA binding activity of the NF-kappaB. These inhibitory effects on NF-kappaB activity and NO generation were suppressed by reducing agents dithiothreitol (DTT) and glutathione, and were abrogated in p50 (C62S)-mutant cells, suggesting that the sulfhydryl group of NF-kappaB molecules may be a target of thiacremonone. CONCLUSIONS The present results suggested that thiacremonone exerted its anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties through the inhibition of NF-kappaB activation via interaction with the sulfhydryl group of NF-kappaB molecules, and thus could be a useful agent for the treatment of inflammatory and arthritic diseases.
