Abstract
Over the past decade, the idea of targeting the endocannabinoid system to treat anxiety disorders has received increasing attention. Previous studies focused more on developing cannabinoid receptor agonists or supplementing exogenous cannabinoids, which are prone to various adverse effects due to their strong pharmacological activity and poor receptor selectivity, limiting their application in clinical research. Endocannabinoid hydrolase inhibitors are considered to be the most promising development strategies for the treatment of anxiety disorders. More recent efforts have emphasized that inhibition of two major endogenous cannabinoid hydrolases, monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), indirectly activates cannabinoid receptors by increasing endogenous cannabinoid levels in the synaptic gap, circumventing receptor desensitization resulting from direct enhancement of endogenous cannabinoid signaling. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the anxiolytic effects of MAGL and FAAH inhibitors and their potential pharmacological mechanisms, highlight reported novel inhibitors or natural products, and provide an outlook on future directions in this field.

[PMID: 38458664 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2024.105770] [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: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 12/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024]
Abstract
The extensive application of pesticides in agricultural production has raised significant concerns about its impact on human health. Different pesticides, including fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides, cause environmental pollution and health problems for non-target organisms. Infants and young children are so vulnerable to the harmful effects of pesticide exposure that early-life exposure to pesticides deserves focused attention. Recent research lays emphasis on understanding the mechanism between negative health impacts and early-life exposure to various pesticides. Studies have explored the impacts of exposure to these pesticides on model organisms (zebrafish, rats, and mice), as well as the mechanism of negative health effects, based on advanced methodologies like gut microbiota and multi-omics. These methodologies help comprehend the pathogenic mechanisms associated with early-life pesticide exposure. In addition to presenting health problems stemming from early-life exposure to pesticides and their pathogenic mechanisms, this review proposes expectations for future research. These proposals include focusing on identifying biomarkers that indicate early-life pesticide exposure, investigating transgenerational effects, and seeking effective treatments for diseases arising from such exposure. This review emphasizes how to understand the pathogenic mechanisms of early-life pesticide exposure through gut microbiota and multi-omics, as well as the adverse health effects of such exposure.

Abstract
The intranasal (IN) administration route represents a pathway for xenobiotics to reach the brain. The present study aimed to address the long-term consequences of IN administration of a chlorpyrifos (CPF) commercial formulation (fCPF) in mice. For this purpose, adult male CF-1 mice were intranasally administered with fCPF (10 mg/kg/day) three days a week, for 2 and 4 weeks, respectively. Behavioral and biochemical analyses were conducted 3-7, and 7.5 months after the last IN fCPF administration, respectively. Following a 6-month fCPF-free washout period, fur appearance and body injuries scores improved in the fCPF-treated groups. Notably, spatial learning and memory enhancement was observed 4 and 7 months after the last IN fCPF administration. Changes in oxidative stress markers and the activities of enzymes involved in cholinergic and glutamatergic pathways were observed in different brain areas from fCPF-treated mice, still after 7.5 months from fCPF application. Altogether, these neurochemical disturbances could be responsible for the described behavioral observations.

Abstract
The toxicology field is concerned with the impact of organophosphorus (OP) compounds on human health. These compounds have been linked to an increased risk of neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental diseases. This article aims to review studies on the role of OP compounds in developing these neurological disorders and explore how genetic variations can affect susceptibility to the neurotoxicity of these pesticides. Studies have shown that exposure to OP compounds can lead to the development of various neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, intellectual disability, and other developmental neurotoxicities. Apart from inhibiting the cholinesterase enzyme, OP compounds are believed to cause other pathological mechanisms at both the extracellular level (cholinergic, serotonergic, dopaminergic, glutamatergic, and GABAergic synapses) and the intracellular level (oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, autophagy, and apoptosis) that contribute to these disorders. Specific genetic polymorphisms, including PON1, ABCB1, NOS, DRD4, GST, CYP, and APOE, have increased the risk of developing OP-related neurological disorders.

Abstract
The rapid growth of genomics techniques has revolutionized and impacted, greatly and positively, the knowledge of toxicology, ushering it into a "new era": the era of genomic technology (GT). This great advance permits us to analyze the whole genome, to know the gene response to toxicants and environmental stressors, and to determine the specific profiles of gene expression, among many other approaches. The aim of this work was to compile and narrate the recent research on GT during the last 2 years (2020-2022). A literature search was managed using the PubMed and Medscape interfaces on the Medline database. Relevant articles published in peer-reviewed journals were retrieved and their main results and conclusions are mentioned briefly. It is quite important to form a multidisciplinary taskforce on GT with the aim of designing and implementing a comprehensive, collaborative, and a strategic work plan, prioritizing and assessing the most relevant diseases, so as to decrease human morbimortality due to exposure to environmental chemicals and stressors.

Abstract
Tebuconazole, one of the most widely used triazole fungicides, is reported to potentially pose a risk of inducing neurological disorders in human beings. Considering the increasing exposure, whether it could influence cognitive function remains to be elucidated. Herein, we used a mouse model to evaluate the potential cognitive risks and possible mechanisms from the continuous edible application of tebuconazole at low concentrations. Our study revealed that tebuconazole deteriorated spatial learning and memory and downregulated the expression of glutamate receptor subunits. Importantly, metagenomic analysis indicated that tebuconazole not only led to significant shifts in the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota but also changed intestinal homeostasis. Specifically, after exposure, tebuconazole circulated in the bloodstream and largely entered the gut-brain axis for disruption, including disturbing the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, interrelated neurotransmitters and systemic immune factors. Moreover, pretreatment with probiotics improved immune factor expression and restored the deterioration of synaptic function and spatial learning and memory. The current study provides novel insights concerning perturbations of the gut microbiome and its functions as a potential new mechanism by which tebuconazole exposes cognitive function-related human health.

Neurotoxicology 2023; 94:35-45. [PMID: 36347328 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuro.2022.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Exposure to organophosphate (OP) insecticides has been related to several adverse health effects, including neurotoxicity. The primary insecticidal mode of action of OP insecticides relies on (irreversible) binding to acetylcholine esterase (AChE), with -oxon metabolites having a much higher potency for AChE inhibition than the parent compounds. However, OP insecticides can also have non-AChE-mediated effects, including changes in gene expression, neuroendocrine effects, disruption of neurite outgrowth and disturbance of the intracellular calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis. Since Ca2+ is involved in neurotransmission and neuronal development, our research aimed to assess the effects of two widely used OP insecticides, chlorpyrifos (CPF) and diazinon (DZ) and their respective -oxon metabolites, on intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis in human SH-SY5Y cells and rat primary cortical cultures. Furthermore, we assessed the acute and chronic effects of exposure to these compounds on neuronal network maturation and function in rat primary cortical cultures using microelectrode array (MEA) recordings. While inhibition of AChE appears to be the primary mode of action of oxon-metabolites, our data indicate that both parent OP insecticides (CPF and DZ) inhibit depolarization-evoked Ca2+ influx and neuronal activity at concentrations far below their sensitivity for AChE inhibition, indicating that inhibition of voltage-gated calcium channels is a common mode of action of OP insecticides. Notably, parent compounds were more potent than their oxon metabolites, with exposure to diazinon-oxon (DZO) having no effect on both neuronal activity and Ca2+ influx. Human SH-SY5Y cells were more sensitive to OP-induced inhibition of depolarization-evoked Ca2+ influx than rat cortical cells. Acute exposure to OP insecticides had more potent effects on neuronal activity than on Ca2+ influx, suggesting that neuronal activity parameters are especially sensitive to OP exposure. Interestingly, the effects of DZ and chlorpyrifos-oxon (CPO) on neuronal activity lessened after 48 h of exposure, while the potency of CPF did not differ over time. This suggests that neurotoxicity after exposure to different OPs has different effects over time and occurs at levels that are close to human exposure levels. In line with these results, chronic exposure to CPF during 10 days impaired neuronal network development, illustrating the need to investigate possible links between early-life OP exposure and neurodevelopmental disorders in children and highlighting the importance of non-AChE mediated mechanisms of neurotoxicity after OP exposure.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is an organophosphorus insecticide that has gained significant attention cue to the reported toxicity associated with developmental exposure. While the canonical mechanism of toxicity of CPF involves the inhibition of brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE), we have reported that exposure of juvenile rats to levels of CPF that do not yield any inhibition of brain AChE results in neurobehavioral alterations at later ages. However, it is unclear what effect exposure to these low levels of CPF has on blood esterase activities which are frequently used not only as biomarkers of exposure but also to set exposure levels in risk assessment. To determine this, male and female rat pups were exposed orally from postnatal day 10 to 16 to either corn oil (vehicle) or 0.5, 0.75, or 1.0 mg/kg CPF. At 12 h after the final exposure, serum cholinesterase (ChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and carboxylesterase (CES), and red blood cell (RBC) and brain AChE activities were determined. There were no differences between sexes in either the controls or individual treatments for all enzymes. Only the highest dosage of 1.0 mg/kg CPF yielded significant brain AChE inhibition (22-24%) but all dosages significantly inhibited the blood esterases with inhibition being highest with serum CES (65-85%) followed by serum BChE (57-76%), RBC AChE (35-65%), and then serum ChE (16-32%). Our data verify that blood esterases are inhibited at dosages of CPF that alter neurobehavioral performance in the absence of effects on brain AChE activity.

Abstract
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) are one of the most widely used types of pesticide that play an important role in the production process due to their effects on preventing pathogen infection and increasing yield. However, in the early development and application of OPPs, their toxicological effects and the issue of environmental pollution were not considered. With the long-term overuse of OPPs, their hazards to the ecological environment (including soil and water) and animal health have attracted increasing attention. Therefore, this review first clarified the classification, characteristics, applications of various OPPs, and the government's restriction requirements on various OPPs. Second, the toxicological effects and metabolic mechanisms of OPPs and their metabolites were introduced in organisms. Finally, the existing methods of degrading OPPs were summarized, and the challenges and further addressing strategy of OPPs in the sustainable development of agriculture, the environment, and ecology were prospected. However, methods to solve the environmental and ecological problems caused by OPPs from the three aspects of use source, use process, and degradation methods were proposed, which provided a theoretical basis for addressing the stability of the ecological environment and improving the structure of the pesticide industry in the future.
