Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective chemotherapeutic drug; however, its cardiotoxicity and resistance compromise its therapeutic index. The Notch pathway was reported to contribute to DOX cancer resistance. The role of Notch pathway in DOX cardiotoxicity has not been identified yet. Notch receptors are characterized by their extracellular (NECD) and intracellular (NICD) domains (NICD). The γ-secretase enzyme helps in the release of NICD. Dibenzazepine (DBZ) is a γ-secretase inhibitor. The present study investigated the effect of Notch pathway inhibition on DOX cardiotoxicity. Twenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: control group, DOX group, acute cardiotoxicity was induced by a single dose of DOX (20 mg/kg) i.p., DOX (20 mg/kg) plus DBZ group, and DBZ group. The third and fourth groups received i.p. injection of DBZ daily for 14 days at 2 mg/kg dose. DOX cardiotoxicity increased the level of serum creatine kinase-MB and cardiac troponin I, and it was confirmed by the histopathological examination. Moreover, the antioxidants glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase levels were markedly decreased, and the inflammatory markers, inducible nitric oxide synthase, nuclear factor-ķB, and tumor necrosis factor-α were markedly increased. Furthermore, DOX increased BAX protein and downregulated BCL-2. In addition, DOX upregulated Notch pathway-related parameters: Hes1 and Hey1 mRNA levels, and increased Hes1 protein levels. DBZ ameliorated DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, evidenced by reducing the cardiac injury biomarkers, improving cardiac histopathological changes, correcting antioxidant levels, and reducing inflammatory and apoptotic proteins. Our study indicates the protective effect of Notch inhibitor against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) deficiency can affect the expression of microRNA (miRNA) and induce necroptosis, apoptosis, etc., resulting in damage to various tissues and organs. Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure can cause adverse consequences such as oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and atherosclerosis. The toxic effects of combined treatment with Se-deficiency and BPA exposure may have a synergistic effect. We replicated the BPA exposure and Se-deficiency model in broiler to investigate whether the combined treatment of Se-deficiency and BPA exposure induced necroptosis and inflammation of chicken vascular tissue via the miR-26A-5p/ADAM17 axis. We found that Se deficiency and BPA exposure significantly inhibited the expression of miR-26a-5p and increased the expression of ADAM17, thereby increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Subsequently, we discovered that the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR1), which was highly expressed, activated the necroptosis pathway through receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL), and regulated the heat shock proteins-related genes expressions and inflammation-related genes expressions after exposure to BPA and selenium deficiency. In vitro, we found that miR-26a-5p knockdown and increased ADAM17 can induce necroptosis by activating the TNFR1 pathway. Similarly, both N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), Necrostatin-1 (Nec-1), and miR-26a-5p mimic prevented necroptosis and inflammation caused by BPA exposure and Se deficiency. These results suggest that BPA exposure activates the miR-26a-5p/ADAM17 axis and exacerbates Se deficient-induced necroptosis and inflammation through the TNFR1 pathway and excess ROS. This study lays a data foundation for future ecological and health risk assessments of nutrient deficiencies and environmental toxic pollution.

The Role of Endocrine Disruptors Bisphenols and Phthalates in Obesity: Current Evidence, Perspectives and Controversies. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:675. [PMID: 38203845 PMCID: PMC10779569 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25010675] [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: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 12/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Excess body weight constitutes one of the major health challenges for societies and healthcare systems worldwide. Besides the type of diet, calorie intake and the lack of physical exercise, recent data have highlighted a possible association between endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as bisphenol A, phthalates and their analogs, and obesity. EDCs represent a heterogeneous group of chemicals that may influence the hormonal regulation of body mass and adipose tissue morphology. Based on the available data from mechanistic, animal and epidemiological studies including meta-analyses, the weight of evidence points towards the contribution of EDCs to the development of obesity, associated disorders and obesity-related adipose tissue dysfunction by (1) impacting adipogenesis; (2) modulating epigenetic pathways during development, enhancing susceptibility to obesity; (3) influencing neuroendocrine signals responsible for appetite and satiety; (4) promoting a proinflammatory milieu in adipose tissue and inducing a state of chronic subclinical inflammation; (5) dysregulating gut microbiome and immune homeostasis; and (6) inducing dysfunction in thermogenic adipose tissue. Critical periods of exposure to obesogenic EDCs are the prenatal, neonatal, pubertal and reproductive periods. Interestingly, EDCs even at low doses may promote epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of adult obesity in subsequent generations. The aim of this review is to summarize the available evidence on the role of obesogenic EDCs, specifically BPA and phthalate plasticizers, in the development of obesity, taking into account in vitro, animal and epidemiologic studies; discuss mechanisms linking EDCs to obesity; analyze the effects of EDCs on obesity in critical chronic periods of exposure; and present interesting perspectives, challenges and preventive measures in this research area.

Abstract
In this study, a new non-enzymatic carbon paste biosensor was developed for the determination of Bisphenol-A (BPA) based on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) modified Myoglobin (Mb). The measurement principle of the biosensor was developed based on the inhibition effect of BPA on the heme group of myoglobin in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. With the designed biosensor, measurements were taken in the potential range of (-0.15 V & +0.65 V) using the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) method in the medium containing K4[Fe(CN)6]. The linear range for BPA was determined to be 100-1000 µM. Response time was calculated as 16 s. The limit of detection was set at 89 μM. As a result, it has been proven that MWCNT modified myoglobin based biosensor is an alternative method that can be used for BPA determination, giving very sensitive and fast results.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a xenobiotic with endocrine disruptor properties which interacts with various receptors, eliciting a cellular response. In the plastic industry, BPA is widely used in the production of polycarbonate and epoxy-phenolic resins to provide elastic properties. It can be found in the lining of canned foods, certain plastic containers, thermal printing papers, composite dental fillings, and medical devices, among other things. Therefore, it is a compound that, directly or indirectly, is in daily contact with the human organism. BPA is postulated to be a factor responsible for the global epidemic of obesity and non-communicable chronic diseases, belonging to the obesogenic and diabetogenic group of compounds. Hence, this endocrine disruptor may be responsible for the development of metabolic disorders, promoting in fat cells an increase in proinflammatory pathways and upregulating the expression and release of certain cytokines, such as IL6, IL1β, and TNFα. These, in turn, at a systemic and local level, are associated with a chronic low-grade inflammatory state, which allows the perpetuation of the typical physiological complications of obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neohesperidin dihydrochalbazone (NHDC) shows a range of pharmacological actions, however, in septic acute kidney injury (AKI), the effect of NHDC is little known. PURPOSE To assess the role of NHDC against AKI and the possible mechanisms. METHODS In vivo, we used different concentration of NHDC (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg) treated septic AKI model of mice. Moreover, in vitro, in HK-2 cells, a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced cell model was treated with 10, 20, and 30 μM NHDC. Next, kidney tissue pathologic change, marker of renal injury, apoptosis, and inflammatory factors were assessed using hematoxylin and eosin staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling, and western blot. HK-2 cell apoptosis and viability were assessed via flow cytometry and cell counting kit-8. In HK-2 cells and tissues, NLRP3, caspase 1, ASC, and P38/ERK 1/2/JNK pathway related protein levels were tested using western blot. RESULTS NHDC (100 and 200 mg/kg) significantly attenuated kidney injury in caecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-treated mice. In CLP-treated mice, the level of BUN, Scr, KIM-1, and NAGL was reduced by 100 and 200 mg/kg NHDC. Furthermore, 100 and 200 mg/kg NHDC inhibited inflammation by reducing the production of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β, and inhibited oxidative stress by regulating the change of MDA, SOD, GSH, and CAT. NHDC (100 and 200 mg/kg) inhibited renal cell apoptosis by increasing Bcl2 protein expression and inhibiting Bax and cleaved caspase-3 protein expression. Additionally, NHDC (100 and 200 mg/kg) inhibited the protein levels of phosphorylated (p)-P38, p-JNK, p-ERK 1/2, NLRP3, caspase 1, ASC. In vitro, in LPS-stimulated HK-2 cells, NHDC (20 and 30 μM) increased cell viability, reduced cell apoptosis, restrained inflammation by reducing the content of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β, and inhibited the protein expression of caspase 1, NLRP3, ASC, p-P38, p-JNK, and p-ERK1/2. Importantly, the promotive effect of NHDC on HK-2 cell viability was reversed by DHR (an activator of P38 MAPK signaling pathway), and DHR reversed the inhibitive effects of NHDC on HK-2 cell apoptosis and inflammation. CONCLUSION For the first time, NHDC was found to inhibit oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in AKI model, which was related to the inhibition of P38 MAPK pathways. Our findings provided the theoretical basis for NHDC on the prevention of AKI.

Abstract
As one of the triazine herbicides with widespread usage in agriculture, metribuzin exerted nonnegligible hazardous effects on plants via excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species and destruction of antioxidant enzymes, but the underlying harmful mechanism of metribuzin-induced oxidative damage to plants has never been exploited. Here, Arabidopsis thaliana glutathione reductase 2 (AtGR2) was employed as the biomarker to evaluate the adverse impacts of metribuzin on plants. The fluorescence intensity of AtGR2 was decreased based on the static quenching mechanism with the prediction of a single binding site toward metribuzin, and the complex formation was presumed to be mainly impelled by hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces from the negative ΔH and ΔS. In addition, the loosened and unfolded skeleton of AtGR2 along with the increased hydrophilicity around the tryptophan residues were investigated. Besides, the glutathione reductase activity of AtGR2 was also destroyed due to structural and conformational changes. At last, the severe inhibiting growth of Arabidopsis seedling roots was discovered under metribuzin exposure. Hence, the evaluation of the molecular interaction mechanism of AtGR2 with metribuzin will establish valuable assessments of the toxic effects of metribuzin on plants.

Abstract
Female and male Drosophila melanogaster were exposed separately for seven days to Bisphenol A (BPA), Bisphenol F (BPF), and Bisphenol S (BPS) at concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mM. We observed that males exposed to 0.5 and 1 mM BPS showed lower catalase (CAT) activity and higher superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reactive species (RS); CAT activity decreased for BPF 0.5 and 1 mM. Nevertheless, BPA 0.5 and 1 mM decreased CAT activity, increased RS and lipid peroxidation (LPO), and reduced mitochondrial viability. None of the bisphenols altered the cell viability of male flies, although BPA 0.5 and 1 mM reduced longevity. In female flies, BPA and BPS 0.5 and 1 mM increased RS and LPO levels and decreased CAT activity and glutathione-S-transferase (GST), which may have contributed to lower mitochondrial and cell viability. Furthermore, BPS decreased SOD activity at the 1 mM concentration, and BPA reduced the SOD activity at concentrations of 0.5 and 1 mM. In the BPF 1 mM group, there was a reduction in GST activity and an increase in RS and LPO levels. The toxicological effects were different between sexes, and BPA was more harmful than BPF and BPS in male flies. Thus, our findings showed that females were more susceptible to oxidative cell damage when exposed to BPA and BPS than to BPF, and daily exposure to BPA and BPS at all concentrations reduced female longevity, as well as in BPF 1 mM.

Abstract
Pemetrexed (PEM) is an effective chemotherapeutic drug used for the treatment of clinical non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is reported to induce severe hepatotoxicity. Exploring potential drugs which could counteract the side effects of PEM is of great clinical interest. Here, we aim to examine the beneficial effects of Montelukast, a novel anti-asthma drug, against PEM-induced cytotoxicity in hepatocytes, and to explore the underlying mechanism. We found that Montelukast reduces cytotoxicity of PEM in hepatocytes, confirmed by its increasing cell viability and reducing lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release. In addition, Montelukast attenuated PEM-induced oxidative stress by reducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), increasing reduced glutathione (GSH), and downregulating NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX-4) expression. Importantly, Montelukast suppressed PEM-induced activation of the nucleotide oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and mitigated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress by reducing NLRP3, growth arrest, and DNA damage-inducible protein 34 (GADD34), CEBP-homologous protein (CHOP), and also blocking the eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF-2α)/activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) signaling pathway. Lastly, we found that Montelukast inhibited the transcriptional activity of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB). Montelukast exerted a protective action against PEM-induced cytotoxicity in hepatocytes by mitigating ER stress and NLRP3 activation.

Abstract
As primary industrial raw material, the widespread usage of bisphenol A (BPA) has resulted in sustained release and accumulation in the environment. Besides its endocrine-disrupting character, BPA was reported to generate excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the potential toxic mechanisms of the BPA-induced oxidative damage to plants were poorly understood. In this study, glutathione peroxidase 6 from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtGPX6) was regarded as biomarker to investigate the toxic effects of BPA on plants by multi-spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking method. Firstly, BPA effectively quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of AtGPX6 via static quenching mechanism, and a single binding site of AtGPX6 towards BPA was presumed. Moreover, the binding force was mainly driven by van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding based on the negative values of ΔH0 and ΔS0, which was consistent with the molecular docking result. In addition, the conformational changes of AtGPX6 accompanied with the enhancement of the hydrophilicity around the tryptophan residues upon the combination with BPA, were evaluated through the combination of the fluorescence, UV-visible absorption and Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Finally, the inhibitory impact on the development of Arabidopsis seedling roots was observed under BPA exposure. Therefore, the exploration of the molecular mechanism of AtGPX6 with BPA would provide valuable assessments on the toxic effects of BPA on plants.

[PMID: 34235604 PMCID: PMC8492803 DOI: 10.1007/s12192-021-01221-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2021] [Revised: 06/28/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the parameters of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant protection, biochemical parameters, and cortisol and adrenaline content in the blood of students depending on the effect of exam stress. A total of 135 healthy students (72 female (53.3%) and 63 male (46.7%)) aged from 19 to 21 years (mean age 20.16 ± 0.42 years) of the experimental group underwent detailed medical screening and examination before the inclusion in the study. The control group consisted of 30 healthy students (17 female (56.7%) and 13 male (43.3%)) of corresponding age (mean age 20.23 ± 0.54 years), whose medical examination was performed during breaks in the absence of any stress factors. The blood parameters of the experimental group were investigated 1 h before, 1 h after, and 24 h after the exam. The cortisol content in the blood of experimental group students significantly increased 1.37 times (p < 0.05) an hour before the exam and 1.32 times (p < 0.05) an hour after; adrenalin content in blood increased 1.76 times (p < 0.05) and 1.49 times (p < 0.05), respectively. Compared to the control group, intensification of lipid peroxidation processes with a 1.51-fold (p < 0.05) increase in erythrocyte malonic aldehyde content in blood 1 h before and 1.42-fold (p < 0.05) increase an hour after the exam was observed in students due to the effect of exam stress.. Changes in hormonal homeostasis, activation of lipoperoxidation processes with the development of oxidative stress, and the disintegration of antioxidant protection factors are typical for academic stress in students.

Abstract
Environmental factors are involved in the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders in addition to genetic factors. In this sense, we demonstrated here that the embryonic exposure of Drosophila melanogaster to Bisphenol A (BPA) 1 mM resulted in changes in development, behavior, and biochemical markers punctuated below. BPA did not alter the oviposition and viability of the eggs, however, it was evidenced a decrease in the rate of pupal eclosion and life span of the hatched flies of the generation filial 1 (F1). F1 flies also developed behavioral changes such as incompatibility in the social interaction between them, and hyperactivity demonstrated by increased locomotion in open field tests, increased grooming, and aggression episodes. Furthermore, decreases in dopamine levels and tyrosine hydroxylase activity have also been observed in flies' heads, possibly related to oxidative damage. Through analyzes of oxidative stress biomarkers, carried out on samples of flies' heads, we observed an increase in malondialdehyde and reactive species, decrease in the activity of the superoxide dismutase and catalase, which possibly culminated in the reduction of cell viability. Thus, it is important to emphasize that BPA developed atypical behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster, reinforce the importance of the environmental factor in the development of neurobehavioral diseases.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 224:112684. [PMID: 34438265 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.112684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2021] [Revised: 08/16/2021] [Accepted: 08/18/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
While bisphenol A (BPA) exposure was inconsistently associated with hypertension risk, little is known about whether its alternatives bisphenol S and F (BPS and BPF) have similar hypertensive effects. Furthermore, epidemiologic studies on the genetic susceptibility to the hypertensive effects of bisphenols are scarce. We conducted a case-control study in 439 pairs of hypertension cases and matched controls. Urinary bisphenols concentrations were measured to characterize the internal exposure levels. The genotyping of ESR1/2, CAT, and eNOS was performed by a multiplex fluorescent polymerase chain reaction. BPA exposure was positively associated with hypertension risk. Carriers of rs2234693 C allele in ESR1 were associated with increased hypertension risk. Significant associations of BPA exposure with increased hypertension risk were suggested in individuals with the major allele of rs1256049 in ESR2, rs769214 in CAT, and rs1799983 in eNOS. Besides, rs4755374 in CAT might modify the association of BPA exposure with hypertension risk. Individuals with specific genotypes in ESR1/2, CAT, and eNOS might be more susceptible to the hypertensive effects of BPA.

Abstract
Resveratrol is a non-flavonoid polyphenol compound that exists in many plants, and is considered an antitoxin. This study explores the effects from the regulation of miR-455-5p by resveratrol on cisplatin-induced ototoxicity via the PTEN-PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. For this, House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC1) cells were transfected with miR-455-5p inhibitor and treated with cisplatin and resveratrol, then cell proliferation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress were evaluated. A mouse model of hearing loss was established, and these mice were treated with cisplatin, resveratrol, or cisplatin combined with resveratrol, by intraperitoneal injection. The auditory brainstem response (ABR) threshold was measured, and hair cells were examined using immunofluorescence staining. The expression levels of miR-455-5p, PTEN, and PI3K/Akt proteins were examined. The results from our in-vitro experiments indicate that resveratrol promoted viability and reduced apoptosis and oxidative stress in cisplatin-induced HEI-OC1 cells. Resveratrol upregulated miR-455-5p, downregulated PTEN, and activated the PI3K-Akt axis. These effects of resveratrol were reversed by knock-down of miR-455-5p. The results from our in-vivo experiments indicate that resveratrol protected hearing and inhibited the hair-cell injury caused by cisplatin ototoxicity. Resveratrol also upregulated miR-455-5p, downregulated PTEN, and activated the PTEN-PI3K-Akt axis in cochlear tissues from cisplatin-treated mice. These results indicate that resveratrol upregulates miR-455-5p to target PTEN and activate the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway to counteract cisplatin ototoxicity.

Sodium Tanshinone IIA Sulfonate Ameliorates Injury-Induced Oxidative Stress and Intervertebral Disc Degeneration in Rats by Inhibiting p38 MAPK Signaling Pathway. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:5556122. [PMID: 34122723 PMCID: PMC8172320 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5556122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 04/29/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Objective Sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate (STS) is a water-soluble derivative of tanshinone IIA, a representative traditional Chinese medicine. The aim of the study was to investigate the capability of STS to reverse injury-induced intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) and explore the potential mechanisms. Methods Forty adult rats were randomly allocated into groups (control, IDD, STS10, and STS20). An IDD model was established by puncturing the Co8-9 disc using a needle. Rats in the STS groups were administered STS by daily intraperitoneal injection (10 or 20 mg/kg body weight) while rats in the control and IDD groups received the same quantity of normal saline. After four weeks, the entire spine from each rat was scanned for X-ray and MRI analysis. Each Co8-9 IVD underwent histological analysis (H&E, Safranin-O Fast green, and alcian blue staining). A tissue was analyzed by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining to determine the expression levels of collagen II (COL2), aggrecan, matrix metalloproteinase-3/13 (MMP-3/13), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Levels of oxidative stress were measured using an ELISA while activity of the p38 MAPK pathway was assessed using Western blot analysis. Results Compared with the control group, needle puncture significantly decreased IVD volume and T-2 weighted MR signal intensity, confirming disc degeneration. These alterations were significantly attenuated by treatment with 10 or 20 mg/kg STS. Lower COL2 and aggrecan and higher MMP-3/13, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels in the IDD group were substantially reversed by STS. In addition, treatment with STS increased antioxidative enzyme activity and decreased levels of oxidative stress induced by needle puncture. Furthermore, STS inhibited the p38 MAPK pathway in the rat model of IDD. Conclusions STS ameliorated injury-induced intervertebral disc degeneration and displayed anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties in a rat model of IDD, possibly via inhibition of the p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
As primary polymer material in industrial products, bisphenol A (BPA) has become one of the most productive chemicals. Excluding its endocrine-disrupting property, BPA can also produce excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nevertheless, the underlying toxic mechanisms of BPA-induced oxidative damages to plants are still unknown. In this work, glutathione S-transferase Phi8 was used as biomarker to evaluate the hazardous oxidative effects of BPA at the molecular level. Firstly, the intrinsic fluorescence of AtGSTF8 was statically quenched along with complex formation and structural and conformational changes, which led to the loosening and unfolding of the framework of AtGSTF8 as well as the increase of hydrophilicity around Trp residues. Then a single binding site was predicted for AtGSTF8 towards BPA and the complex formation was predominantly driven by hydrophobic interactions owing to the positive ΔH and ΔS. Besides, the predicted binding site of BPA was close to the H-site of AtGSTF8 which was surrounded by several hydrophobic amino acids based on the molecular docking results. The activity of glutathione S-transferase was declined and the plant growth was destroyed upon complex formation. The investigation of the binding mechanism of BPA with AtGSTF8 at molecular level would provide experimental assessments on toxicological effects of BPA on plants.

Abstract
AIMS Reduced A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with a ThromboSpondin type 1 motif member 13 (ADAMTS13) levels are observed in kidney disease. We test whether recombinant human ADAMTS13 (rhADAMTS13) mitigates renal injury in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the potential mechanisms. METHODS CKD was established 3 months after ischaemia/reperfusion (IR). ADAMTS13 and von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels, renal function and morphological changes were analysed. Afferent arteriolar responses to angiotensin II (Ang II) and acetylcholine (ACh) were measured. Oxidative stress-related molecules were detected. RESULTS Higher vWF and lower ADAMTS13 levels were observed in CKD mice, which were markedly attenuated by rhADAMTS13. rhADAMTS13 alleviated renal dysfunction, as documented by decreased blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels in CKD mice. Moreover, rhADAMTS13 attenuated transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1/Smad3 activation. Plasma vWF: ADAMTS13 ratio showed positive correlations with malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) and proteinuria, and correlated inversely with superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). Finally, rhADAMTS13 inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and improved microvascular functional disorders, accompanied by the inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) 3β hyperactivity and upregulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression. CONCLUSIONS Acute kidney injury (AKI) reduces the expression of ADAMTS13 that contributes to progressive CKD, microvascular dysfunction, oxidative stress, inhibition of Nrf2 activity and renal histopathological damage. All of which can be alleviated by administration of rhADAMTS13.

Abstract
The probable beneficial effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and resveratrol were assessed in an experimental model of Bisphenol-A (BPA)-evident uterine damage in rats. Thirty-five albino rats were involved and equally divided into five groups: Group I: negative control rats received usual diet, Group II: positive control rats received BPA by oral gavage for 15 days, Group III: BPA-treated rats received single oral gavage of resveratrol daily for two weeks, Group IV: BPA-treated rats received a single intravenous dose of MSCs and Group V: BPA-treated rats received combined treatment of resveratrol and MSCs. Oxidative stress markers, apoptosis-related genes, and gonadal hormones were assessed. Histological and immunohistochemical examination of uterine tissue was conducted for TGF-β 1. Caspases-3, 8, and 9 (Casp3, Casp8, Casp9) genes were assessed in uterine tissues by quantitative real-time PCR. Results revealed that BPA induced significant changes in the endometrial tissue, inflammatory cell infiltration, focal blood extravasation, increase in collagen fibers, decrease in PAS staining, and increase in TGF-β 1 immunoreactivity. BPA also induced a significant increase in oxidative stress markers; malondialdehyde (MDA), SOD, CAT, and apoptosis-related genes. BPA induced a significant change in blood levels of gonadal hormones; a significant increase in FSH and a significant decrease in estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P). Treatment with either resveratrol, MSCs, or a combination of them resulted in significant enhancement of histological findings, restoration of gonadal hormones to near-normal levels, and a significant decrease in oxidative stress markers and apoptosis genes. Combined treatment with resveratrol and MSCs demonstrated more significant therapeutic effects as regard to the studied parameters in association with rat groups treated with either MSCs or resveratrol separately.

Abstract
Human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) is unavoidable in daily life. Recently, research has showen that BPA could induce oxidative imbalance, thereby causing reproductive toxicity and liver dysfunction. Accumulated evidence has demonstrated that metformin possesses strong anti-oxidative properties. This study aimed to study the mechanism underlying the hepatic-protective effect of metformin on liver injury induced by BPA in rats via the UPLC-MS/MS metabolomics approach. Forty-two male rats were randomly divided into six groups (n = 7), namely the saline group (control), the corn oil group (vehicle), the metformin group (Met), the bisphenol A group (BPA), the bisphenol A and metformin group (BPA + Met), and the bisphenol A and diammonium glycyrrhizinate (positive control) group (BPA + DG). Serum was collected for biochemical analysis and metabolomics, and liver tissue was collected for histopathology and metabolomics in each group. We found that metformin could significantly reduce the levels of liver function enzymes (ALT, AST and GGT) and ameliorate inflammatory cell infiltration and hepatocyte necrosis induced by BPA. On the other hand, metformin could significantly enhance the total antioxidant capacity in BPA rats. Notably, metabolomics data indicated that the principal altered metabolic pathways based on the 26 differential metabolites in liver tissue, and 21 in serum among vehicle, BPA and BPA + Met groups, respectively, including cysteine and methionine metabolism, glutathione metabolism, and arginine biosynthesis and purine metabolism. Additionally, metformin significantly increased cystathionine β synthase (CBS) and cystathionine γ lyase (CSE), thus reducing serum levels of homocysteine and increasing hepatic levels of cysteine and glutathione in BPA-treated rats. Overall, this study's results provided new insights into the role and mechanism of metformin in BPA-induced liver injury in rats.

Abstract
Bisphenol-A (BPA) used in the production of plastic materials is a temperature-soluble agent. It also has a steroid hormone-like activity; therefore, it poses a danger to human health. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effects of BPA on lymph node and spleen in male rats exposed to this agent during prenatal stage. The pregnant female rats were divided into four groups: control, sham, low dose (300 µg/kg BPA), and high dose (900 µg/kg BPA). BPA was dissolved in 1 mL of corn oil and administered to the pregnant rats every day during pregnancy. On the 21st and 45th day after the birth, male rats' lymph node and spleen samples were taken and histopathological examination was performed. Samples were stained with hematoxylin and eosin to determine the general histological appearance, and with CD3 and CD20 immunohistochemically. The results of staining were evaluated by H-score, and statistical analysis was performed. In the samples, BPA applications were not found to cause significant tissue damage. But there was a significant decrease in the immunoreactivities of CD3 and CD20 after BPA applications in both 21st and 45th day samples. After high dose BPA administration, decreased CD3 immunoreactivity was statistically significant. It is thought that BPA does not cause histologically significant tissue damage, but it may impair organ function at cellular level. The investigation of molecules involved in organ function will be useful in revealing the mechanisms that will cause dysfunction.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered a predominant chronic liver disease worldwide and a component of metabolic syndrome. Due to its relationship with multiple organs, it is extremely complex to precisely define its pathogenesis as well as to set appropriate therapeutic and preventive strategies. Endocrine disruptors (EDCs) in general, and bisphenol A (BPA) in particular, are a heterogeneous group of substances, largely distributed in daily use items, able to interfere with the normal signaling of several hormones that seem to be related to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity, and other metabolic disorders. It is reasonable to hypothesize a BPA involvement in the pathogenesis and evolution of NAFLD. However, its mechanisms of action as well as its burden in the vicious circle that connects obesity, T2DM, metabolic syndrome, and NAFLD still remain to be completely defined. In this review we analyzed the scientific evidence on this promising research area, in order to provide an overview of the harmful effects linked to the exposure to EDCs as well as to frame the role that BPA would have in all phases of NAFLD evolution.
