[PMID: 38810797 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142455] [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: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
The ecological risks of sewage sludge biochar (SSB) after land use is still not truly reflected. Herein, the ecological risks of SSB prepared at different temperature were investigated using the earthworm E. fetida as a model organism from the perspectives of organismal, tissue, cellular, and molecular level. The findings revealed that the ecological risk associated with low-temperature SSB (SSB300) was more pronounced compared to medium- and high-temperature SSB (SSB500 and SSB700), and the ecological risk intensified with increasing SSB addition rates, as revealed by an increase in the integrated biomarker response v2 (IBRv2) value by 2.59-25.41 compared to those of SSB500 and SSB700. Among them, 10% SSB300 application caused significant oxidative stress and neurotoxicity in earthworms compared to CK (p < 0.001). The weight growth rate and cocoon production rate of earthworms were observed to decrease by 25.06% and 69.29%, respectively, while the mortality rate exhibited a significant increase of 33.34% following a 10% SSB300 application, as compared to the CK. Moreover, 10% SSB300 application also resulted in extensive stratum corneum injury and significant longitudinal muscle damage in earthworms, while also inducing severe collapse of intestinal epithelial cells and disruption of intestinal integrity. In addition, 10% SSB300 caused abnormal expression of earthworm detoxification and cocoon production genes (p < 0.001). These results may improve our understanding of the ecotoxicity of biochar, especially in the long term application, and contribute to providing the guidelines for applying biochar as a soil amendment.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 344:118340.

Abstract
Co-existence of antibiotics (ABX) in soil may expand the environmental harm of pesticide pollution. Our study investigated the combined effects of five antibiotics chlortetracycline (CTC), oxytetracycline (OTC), tetracycline (TC), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), enrofloxacin (ENR) on enantioselective fate of zoxamide (ZXM) and soil health. The results showed that S-(+)-ZXM preferentially dissipated in soil. ABX prolonged dissipation half-life and reduced enantioselectivity of ZXM. Soil was detected to be more acidic after long-term treatment of ZXM and ABX. Lowest soil available N, P, K were found in ZXM + SMX, ZXM + OTC and ZXM + SMX groups at 80 days, respectively. ABX had demonstrated effective promotion of catalase (S-CAT), urease (S-UE) and negative impact on dehydrogenase (S-DHA), sucrase (S-SC) activities. Bacteria Lysobacter, Sphingomonas and fungus Mortierella were identified as the most dominant genera, which possessed as potential microbial resources for removal of composite pollution from ZXM and ABX. SMX and TC, SMX, ENR, respectively, contributed to the alteration of bacteria and fungi community abundance. Soil acidity, available N and enzyme activity showed stronger correlations with bacteria and fungi compared to other environmental factors. Our findings highlighted the interactions between ZXM and ABX from the perspective of soil microenvironment changes. Moreover, a theoretical basis for the mechanism was actively provided.

Abstract
The reported biological effects of cerium dioxide nanoparticles (nCeO2) in soils range from toxic to protective. However, divergences of nCeO2 toxicity in soils of different textures are not known. In this study, the availability of nCeO2 on earthworms (Eisenia fetida) in sandy loam soils and clay soils was discussed, and the biological effects of nCeO2 (0-1000 mg/kg) on earthworms in two soils were investigated. The results showed the bioaccumulation and biological effects of Ce on earthworms in the two soils were inconsistent. The European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) sequential extraction revealed that the major portions of Ce in both soils were in the residual form (98-99%), and the acid-soluble Ce fraction was greater in clay soils. However, nCeO2 was more toxic to earthworms in sandy loam soils than that in clay soils as assessed by earthworm biomass, morphology, and antioxidative damage. Thus, the high ecological risk of nCeO2 in sandy loam soils with higher pH and lower clay contents needs to be avoided, being used in agriculture to improve both crop yield and quality.

Abstract
Antibiotics accumulate in soils via various agricultural activities, endangering soil biota that play fundamental roles in maintaining agroecosystem function. However, the effects of land-use heterogeneity on soil biota tolerance to antibiotic stresses are not well understood. In this study, we explored the relationships between antibiotic residues, bacterial communities, and earthworm populations in areas with different land-use types (forest, maize, and peanut fields). The results showed that antibiotic levels were generally higher in maize and peanut fields than in forests. Furthermore, land use modulated the effects of antibiotics on soil bacterial communities and earthworm populations. Cumulative antibiotic concentrations in peanut fields were negatively correlated with bacterial diversity and earthworm abundance, whereas no significant correlations were detected in maize fields. In contrast, antibiotics improved bacterial diversity and richness in forest soils. Generally, earthworm populations showed stronger tolerance to antibiotics than did soil bacterial communities. Agricultural land use differentially modified the responses of the soil bacterial community and earthworm population to antibiotic contamination, and earthworms might provide an alternative for controlling antibiotic contamination.

Caffeine prevents oxalate-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition of renal tubular cells by its anti-oxidative property through activation of Nrf2 signaling and suppression of Snail1 transcription factor. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 141:111870. [PMID: 34246192 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.111870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2021] [Revised: 06/12/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Caffeine is an active ingredient found in coffee and energy beverages. Its hepatoprotective effects against liver fibrosis are well-documented. Nonetheless, its renoprotective effects against renal fibrogenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) processes remain unclear and under-investigated. In this study, the protective effects of caffeine against oxalate-induced EMT in renal tubular cells were evaluated by various assays to measure expression levels of epithelial and mesenchymal markers, cell migrating activity, level of oxidized proteins, and expression of Nrf2 and Snail1. Oxalate at sublethal dose significantly suppressed cell proliferation but increased cell elongation, spindle index and migration. Oxalate also decreased expression of epithelial markers (zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and E-cadherin) but increased expression of mesenchymal markers (fibronectin, vimentin and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA)). All of these EMT-inducing effects of oxalate could be prevented by pretreatment with caffeine. While oxalate increased oxidized proteins and Snail1 levels, it decreased Nrf2 expression. Caffeine could preserve all these molecules to their basal (control) levels. Finally, silencing of Nrf2 expression by small interfering RNA (siRNA) could abolish such protective effects of caffeine on oxalate-induced EMT. Our data indicate that the renoprotective effects of caffeine against oxalate-induced EMT is mediated, at least in part, by its anti-oxidative property through activation of Nrf2 signaling and suppression of Snail1 transcription factor.
