Abstract
Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl (FEN) is an aryloxy phenoxy propionate herbicide that has been widely used in paddy fields. Previous studies have indicated that FEN is highly toxic to aquatic organisms, but little is known about the developmental effects of FEN. This study investigated acute and developmental toxicity, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities, and metabolomic analyses in zebrafish embryos after 96 h of exposure. FEN exhibited high acute toxicity to zebrafish embryos and larvae. Exposure to FEN could reduce heartbeat and hatching rates and increase malformation rates in embryos. Oxidative damage was also caused in embryos. The results of metabolomics analysis showed that 102 differentially abundant metabolites were found in zebrafish embryos in the 0.05 mg/L FEN treatment group, and 60 differentially abundant metabolites were found in the 0.20 mg/L FEN treatment group. These differentially abundant metabolites mainly belonged to 9 metabolic pathways, of which folate pathways and ABC transport protein pathways had the greatest impact. These results suggested that FEN induced high acute and developmental toxicity in zebrafish embryos.

Chronic exposure to polystyrene microplastics increased the chemosensitivity of normal human liver cells via ABC transporter inhibition. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:169050.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in environmental compartments and consumer products. Although liver is frequently reported to be a target organ of MP accumulation in mammals, few studies have focused on MP hepatoxicity in humans. In this study, we used normal human liver cells, THLE-2, to assess the acute and chronic toxicity of polystyrene (PS) MPs with sizes of 0.1 and 1 μm. The results showed that after 48 h of exposure, both kinds of PS MPs could enter THLE-2 cells and cause no obviously acute cytotoxicity at <20 μg/mL. In contrast, metabolomic analysis revealed that 90 days of PS MPs exposure at environmentally relevant dose (0.2 μg/mL) could significantly alter the metabolic profiles of the cells, especially the nanosized MPs. KEGG pathway analysis showed that the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter pathway was the most significantly changed pathway. Cell functional tests confirmed that chronic PS MP treatment could inhibit the activity of the ABC efflux transporter and further increase the cytotoxicity of arsenic, indicating that the PS MPs had a chemosensitizing effect. These findings underline the chronic risk of MPs to human liver.

[PMID: 37958080 PMCID: PMC10648860 DOI: 10.3390/ani13213325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The use of functional feeds in aquaculture is currently increasing. This study aimed to assess the combined impact of dietary green microalgae Chlorella fusca and ethanol-inactivated Vibrio proteolyticus DCF12.2 (CVP diet) on thick-lipped grey mullet (Chelon labrosus) juvenile fish. The effects on intestinal microbiota and the transcription of genes related to metabolism, stress, and the immune system were investigated after 90 days of feeding. Additionally, the fish were challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) to evaluate the immune response. Microbiota analysis revealed no significant differences in alpha and beta diversity between the anterior and posterior intestinal sections of fish fed the control (CT) and CVP diets. The dominant genera varied between the groups; Pseudomonas and Brevinema were most abundant in the CVP group, whereas Brevinema, Cetobacterium, and Pseudomonas were predominant in the CT group. However, microbial functionality remained unaltered. Gene expression analysis indicated notable changes in hif3α, mhcII, abcb1, mx, and tnfα genes in different fish organs on the CVP diet. In the head kidney, gene expression variations were observed following challenges with A. hydrophila or poly I:C, with higher peak values seen in fish injected with poly I:C. Moreover, c3 mRNA levels were significantly up-regulated in the CVP group 72 h post-A. hydrophila challenge. To conclude, incorporating C. fusca with V. proteolyticus in C. labrosus diet affected the microbial species composition in the intestine while preserving its functionality. In terms of gene expression, the combined diet effectively regulated the transcription of stress and immune-related genes, suggesting potential enhancement of fish resistance against stress and infections.

Abstract
Despite the increasing evidences for adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC transporters)-mediated efflux of nanoparticles, the universality of these phenomena and the determining factors for the process remained to be clarified. This paper aimed to systemically investigate the role of nanoparticle size in the interactions between adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC transporters) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs, 3 nm, 19 nm, and 84 nm, named as Au-3, Au-19, and Au-84) in zebrafish embryos. The results showed that all the three AuNPs induced significant toxicity as reflected by delayed hatching of embryos, decreased glutathione (GSH) contents, and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Under the hindrance of embryo chorions, smaller AuNPs could more easily accumulate in the embryos, causing higher toxicity. Addition of transporter inhibitors enhanced the accumulation and toxicity of Au-3 and Au-19, and these nanoparticles induced the expressions of abcc2 and abcb4, indicating a fact that Au-3 and Au-19 were the potential substrates of ABC transporters, but these phenomena were barely found for Au-84. On the contrary, Au-84 suppressed the gene expressions of various ABC transporters like abcc1, abcg5, and abcg8. With specific suppressors, transcription factors like nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) and pregnane X receptor (Pxr) were found to be important in the induction of ABC transporters by AuNPs. After all, these results revealed a vital role of nanoparticle sizes in the interactions between ABC transporters and AuNPs in zebrafish embryos, and the critical size could be around 19 nm. Such information would be beneficial in assessing the environmental risk of nanoparticles, as well as their interactions with other chemical toxicants.

Abstract
Although pharmaceutical companies have to study drug transporter interaction, environmental contaminant interactions with these transporters are not well characterized. In this study, we demonstrated using in vitro transfected cell line that some organophosphorus pesticides are able to interact with drug efflux transporters like P-glycoprotein, BCRP and MRPs.According to our results, dibrom was found to inhibit only Hoechst binding site of P-gp with an IC50 closed to 77 µM, phosmet inhibited BCRP efflux with an IC50 of 42 µM and only profenofos was able to inhibit BCRP, MRPs and two P-gp binding sites. As profenofos appeared to be a potent ABC transporter inhibitor, we studied its potential substrate property towards P-gp.Using a docking approach, we developed an in silico tool to study pesticide properties to be a probe or inhibitor of P-gp transporter. From both in silico and in vitro results, profenofos was not considered as a P-gp substrate.Combining both in vitro and docking methods appears to be an attractive approach to select pesticides that would not pass into the blood systemic circulation.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) is one of the major heavy metals that are toxic to vertebrates and usually considered as environmental pollutants. ABCC4/MRP4 is an organic anion transporter that mediates cellular efflux of a wide range of exogenous and endogenous compounds such as cyclic nucleotides and anti-cancer drugs; however, it remains unclear whether ABCC4 and its orthologs function in the detoxification and excretion of toxic lead. In this study, we found that the transcriptional and translational expression of zebrafish abcc4 was significantly induced under lead exposure in developing zebrafish embryos and adult tissues. Overexpression of zebrafish Abcc4 markedly decreased the cytotoxicity and accumulation of lead in pig renal proximal tubule cell line (LLC-PK1 cells). To further understand the functions of zebrafish Abcc4 in lead detoxification, the clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 system was used to create an abcc4−/− mutant zebrafish line. In comparison with the wild-type (WT) zebrafish, the abcc4−/− mutants showed a higher death rate and lead accumulation upon exposure to lead. Furthermore, a stable abcc4-transgenic zebrafish line was successfully generated, which exerted stronger ability to detoxify and excrete lead than WT zebrafish. These findings indicate that zebrafish Abcc4 plays a crucial role in lead detoxification and cellular efflux and could be used as a potential biomarker to monitor lead contamination in a water environment.

Abstract
Small molecule transporters (SMTs) in the ABC and SLC families are important players in disposition of diverse endo- and xenobiotics. Interactions of environmental chemicals with these transporters were first postulated in the 1990s, and since validated in numerous in vitro and in vivo scenarios. Recent results on the co-crystal structure of ABCB1 with the flame-retardant BDE-100 demonstrate that a diverse range of man-made and natural toxic molecules, hereafter termed transporter-interfering chemicals (TICs), can directly bind to SMTs and interfere with their function. TIC-binding modes mimic those of substrates, inhibitors, modulators, inducers, and possibly stimulants through direct and allosteric mechanisms. Similarly, the effects could directly or indirectly agonize, antagonize or perhaps even prime the SMT system to alter transport function. Importantly, TICs are distinguished from drugs and pharmaceuticals that interact with transporters in that exposure is unintended and inherently variant. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms of environmental chemical interaction with SMTs, the methodological considerations for their evaluation, and the future directions for TIC discovery.

An Integrated Approach Exploring the Synergistic Mechanism of Herbal Pairs in a Botanical Dietary Supplement: A Case Study of a Liver Protection Health Food. Int J Genomics 2020; 2020:9054192.

Abstract
Herbal pairs are used as a bridge between single herb and polyherbal formulas in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to provide rationale for complicated TCM formulas. The effectiveness and rationality of TCM herbal pairs have been widely applied as a strategy for dietary supplements. However, due to the complexity of the phytochemistry of individual and combinations of herbal materials, it is difficult to reveal their effective and synergistic mechanisms from a molecular or systematic point of view. In order to address this question, UPLC-Q-TOF/MS analysis and System Pharmacology tools were applied to explore the mechanism of action, using a White Peony (Paeoniae Radix Alba) and Licorice (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma)-based dietary supplement. A total of sixteen chemical constituents of White Peony and Licorice were isolated and identified, which interact with 73 liver protection-related targets. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were then performed along with network analysis. Results showed that the synergistic mechanism of the White Peony and Licorice herbal pair was associated with their coregulation of bile secretion and ABC transporter pathways. In addition, Licorice exhibits a specific response to drug and xenobiotic metabolism pathways, whereas White Peony responds to Toll-like receptor signaling, C-type lectin receptor signaling, IL-17 signaling, and TNF signaling pathways, resulting in the prevention of hepatocyte apoptosis and the reduction of immune and inflammation-mediated liver damage. These findings suggest that a White Peony and Licorice herbal pair supplement would have a liver-protecting benefit through complimentary and synergistic mechanisms. This approach provides a new path to explore herbal compatibility in dietary supplements derived from TCM theory.

Abstract
The presence of the transmembrane proteins of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family, which perform the efflux of several substances, contributes to the survival of aquatic organisms in a contaminated environmental. Those proteins provide a phenotype named the multixenobiotic resistance mechanism (MXR) by performing the efflux of a wide range of endogenous and exogenous compounds (ABCB) and biotransformation products and anionic compounds (ABCC). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the cellular defense pathway of an established culture from zebrafish hepatocytes (ZF-L) after 24 and 48 h of exposure to glyphosate and Original Roundup®, an herbicide used globally. Through abcb4, abcc1, abcc2 and abcc4 gene expression, ABCB and ABCC2 protein expression and ABC pump activity in ZF-L cells exposed to glyphosate and Roundup®. The results showed an increase in ABCB gene and protein expression; however, although ABCC2 showed an increase in gene expression, its protein expression was lower than in the control group. Regarding ABC activity, only exposure to Roundup® at the lowest concentration showed an increase at 48 h, but in the presence of inhibitors, both glyphosate and Roundup® appeared to modulate ABC activity, reducing its inhibition and returning activity to levels without inhibitor.

Abstract
Transcription of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters has been evaluated in cell lines and primary cultures from gilthead seabream and European sea bass teleost fish exposed to methylmercury (MeHg), arsenic, cadmium or lead. The mRNA expression levels showed abcb1, abcc2 and abcc5 constitutive gene expression in all seabream tissues analyzed; however, we were unable to detect any constitutive transcription of abcb1 in many of the sea bass tissues. Furthermore, ABC mRNA expression levels were all affected by metal exposure, especially in the case of fish cell lines and erythrocytes, and greatly depended on cell type and fish species. Thus, while ABC transcription was up-regulated in the seabream cell line it was down-regulated in the sea bass cell line, while the opposite occurred in the primary cultures. All these data point to the importance of ABC transporters in metal detoxification and in the differential regulation in seabream and sea bass cells.

Abstract
1. Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are known to interact with human ATP-binding cassette drug efflux pumps. The present study was designed to determine whether they can also target activities of human solute carrier (SLC) drug transporters. 2. The interactions of 13 OPs with SLC transporters involved in drug disposition, such as organic cation transporters (OCTs), multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins (MATEs), organic anion transporters (OATs) and organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs), were mainly investigated using transporter-overexpressing cell clones and fluorescent or radiolabeled reference substrates. 3. With a cut-off value of at least 50% modulation of transporter activity by 100 µM OPs, OAT1 and MATE2-K were not impacted, whereas OATP1B1 and MATE1 were inhibited by two and three OPs, respectively. OAT3 activity was similarly blocked by three OPs, and was additionally stimulated by one OP. Five OPs cis-stimulated OATP2B1 activity. Both OCT1 and OCT2 were inhibited by the same eight OPs, including fenamiphos and phosmet, with IC50 values however in the 3-30 µM range, likely not relevant to environmental exposure. 4. These data demonstrated that various OPs inhibit SLC drug transporter activities, especially those of OCT1 and OCT2, but only when used at high concentrations not expected to occur in environmentally-exposed humans.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant protein 4 (MRP4), a member of the C subfamily of ATP-binding cassette transporters, is distributed in a variety of tissues and a number of cancers. As a drug transporter, MRP4 is responsible for the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of numerous drugs, especially antiviral drugs, antitumor drugs, and diuretics. In this regard, the functional role of MRP4 is affected by a number of factors, such as genetic mutations; tissue-specific transcriptional regulations; post-transcriptional regulations, including miRNAs and membrane internalization; and substrate competition. Unlike other C family members, MRP4 is in a pivotal position to transport cellular signaling molecules, through which it is tightly connected to the living activity and physiologic processes of cells and bodies. In the context of several cancers in which MRP4 is overexpressed, MRP4 inhibition shows striking effects against cancer progression and drug resistance. In this review, we describe the role of MRP4 more specifically in both healthy conditions and disease states, with an emphasis on its potential as a drug target.
