[PMID: 38694227 PMCID: PMC11061536 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2024.1342881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Pesticides play a crucial role in modern agriculture, aiding in the protection of crops from pests and diseases. However, their indiscriminate use has raised concerns about their potential adverse effects on human health and the environment. Pesticide residues in food and water supplies are a serious health hazards to the general public since long-term exposure can cause cancer, endocrine disruption, and neurotoxicity, among other health problems. In response to these concerns, researchers and health professionals have been exploring alternative approaches to mitigate the toxic effects of pesticide residues. Bioactive substances called nutraceuticals that come from whole foods including fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices have drawn interest because of their ability to mitigate the negative effects of pesticide residues. These substances, which include minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and polyphenols, have a variety of biological actions that may assist in the body's detoxification and healing of harm from pesticide exposure. In this context, this review aims to explore the potential of nutraceutical interventions as a promising strategy to mitigate the toxic effects of pesticide residues.

Abstract
Autophagy is a highly conserved biological process that has evolved across evolution. It can be activated by various external stimuli including oxidative stress, amino acid starvation, infection, and hypoxia. Autophagy is the primary mechanism for preserving cellular homeostasis and is implicated in the regulation of metabolism, cell differentiation, tolerance to starvation conditions, and resistance to aging. As a multifunctional protein, DJ-1 is commonly expressed in vivo and is associated with a variety of biological processes. Its most widely studied role is its function as an oxidative stress sensor that inhibits the production of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the mitochondria and subsequently the cellular damage caused by oxidative stress. In recent years, many studies have identified DJ-1 as another important factor regulating autophagy; it regulates autophagy in various ways, most commonly by regulating the oxidative stress response. In particular, DJ-1-regulated autophagy is involved in cancer progression and plays a key role in alleviating neurodegenerative diseases(NDS) and defective reperfusion diseases. It could serve as a potential target for the regulation of autophagy and participate in disease treatment as a meaningful modality. Therefore, exploring DJ-1-regulated autophagy could provide new avenues for future disease treatment.

Abstract
Organophosphate pesticides (OPs) are widely used in agriculture, healthcare, and other industries due to their ability to kill pests. However, OPs can also have genotoxic effects on humans who are exposed to them. This review summarizes the research on DNA damage caused by OPs, the mechanisms behind this damage, and the resulting cellular effects. Even at low doses, OPs have been shown to damage DNA and cause cellular dysfunction. Common phenomena seen in cells that are exposed to OPs include the formation of DNA adducts and lesions, single-strand and double-strand DNA breaks, and DNA and protein inter and intra-cross-links. The present review will aid in comprehending the extent of genetic damage and the impact on DNA repair pathways caused by acute or chronic exposure to OPs. Additionally, understanding the mechanisms of the effects of OPs will aid in correlating them with various diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Overall, knowledge of the potential adverse effects of different OPs will help in monitoring the health complications they may cause.

Investigation of genetic toxicity and oxidative stress of Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin type D on human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Microb Pathog 2021; 156:104820.

Abstract
Epsilon toxin (Etx) is an enormously potent pore-forming toxin and a category B biological agent. Etx is the main virulence determinant of Clostridiumperfringens types B and D toxin. It has a cytotoxic effect on distal and collecting kidney tubules. Also, Etx crosses the blood-brain barrier, binds to myelin structures, and destroys oligodendrocytes. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the toxic effects of Etx on human blood lymphocytes, which we examined for the first time for the genetic toxicity of this bacterial toxin. In this study, after taking blood and dividing into nine groups and putting in contact with different dilutions of Etx (1,5,10,25,50,100 and 200 μM), methotrexate (750 μM), and normal saline by Cytokinesis blocked micronucleus (CBMN) assay, we looked at genetic toxicity and the level of oxidative stress created in the under study lymphocytes. The results of this study showed that Etx has significant oxidative stress effects on human lymphocytes at doses above 25 μM, and also this bacterial toxin significantly increases the number of micronuclei formed in lymphocytes. The results of this study indicate that Etx has toxic effects it is genetic and interferes with cell division processes. Thus, human lymphocytes can be used extensively in future studies on Etx.

Effects of DNA Damage and Oxidative Stress in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells Exposed to PM 2.5 from Beijing, China, in Winter. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17134874. [PMID: 32640694 PMCID: PMC7369897 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17134874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2020] [Accepted: 06/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Epidemiological studies have corroborated that respiratory diseases, including lung cancer, are related to fine particulate matter (<2.5 μm) (PM2.5) exposure. The toxic responses of PM2.5 are greatly influenced by the source of PM2.5. However, the effects of PM2.5 from Beijing on bronchial genotoxicity are scarce. In the present study, PM2.5 from Beijing was sampled and applied in vitro to investigate its genotoxicity and the mechanisms behind it. Human bronchial epithelial cells 16HBE were used as a model for exposure. Low (67.5 μg/mL), medium (116.9 μg/mL), and high (202.5 μg/mL) doses of PM2.5 were used for cell exposure. After PM2.5 exposure, cell viability, oxidative stress markers, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) strand breaks, 8-OH-dG levels, micronuclei formation, and DNA repair gene expression were measured. The results showed that PM2.5 significantly induced cytotoxicity in 16HBE. Moreover, the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and cellular heme oxygenase (HO-1) were increased, and the level of glutathione (GSH) was decreased, which represented the occurrence of severe oxidative stress in 16HBE. The micronucleus rate was elevated, and DNA damage occurred as indicators of the comet assay, γ-H2AX and 8-OH-dG, were markedly enhanced by PM2.5, accompanied by the influence of 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1), X-ray repair cross-complementing gene 1 (XRCC1), and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) expression. These results support the significant role of PM2.5 genotoxicity in 16HBE cells, which may occur through the combined effect on oxidative stress and the influence of DNA repair genes.
