Free Radic Biol Med 2024; 210:390-405.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is an essential element for maintaining normal metabolism in vertebrates. Mn dioxide nanoparticles (MnO2 NPs), a novel Mn source, have shown great potentials in biological and biomedical applications due to their distinct physical and chemical properties. However, little is known about potential adverse effects on animal or cellular metabolism. Here, we investigated whether and how dietary MnO2 NPs affect hepatic lipid metabolism in vertebrates. We found that, excessive MnO2 NPs intake increased hepatic and mitochondrial Mn content, promoted hepatic lipotoxic disease and lipogenesis, and inhibited hepatic lipolysis and fatty acid β-oxidation. Moreover, excessive MnO2 NPs intake induced hepatic mitochondrial oxidative stress, damaged mitochondrial function, disrupted mitochondrial dynamics and activated mitophagy. Importantly, we uncovered that mtROS-activated phosphorylation of heat shock factor 1 (Hsf1) at Ser326 residue mediated MnO2 NPs-induced hepatic lipotoxic disease and mitophagy. Mechanistically, MnO2 NPs-induced lipotoxicity and mitophagy were via mtROS-induced phosphorylation and nucleus translocation of Hsf1 and its DNA binding capacity to plin2/dgat1 and bnip3 promoters, respectively. Overall, our findings uncover novel mechanisms by which mtROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and phosphorylation of Hsf1S326 contribute to MnO2 NPs-induced hepatic lipotoxicity and mitophagy, which provide new insights into the effects of metal oxides nanoparticles on hepatotoxicity in vertebrates.

Abstract
With the increasing production and use of MnO2 NPs and MnSO4 in various fields, their discharge into the aquatic environment is inevitable, which poses potential threats to aquatic organisms and humans. However, to date, few studies have been conducted to investigate the potential mechanism of the toxicity of MnO2 NPs, and a comprehensive understanding of the differences between this mechanism and the toxicity mechanism of inorganic Mn (MnSO4) is still lacking. Since lipid metabolism-relevant parameters have been widely recognized as novel biomarkers for risk assessment of environmental contaminants, the present study investigated the differential mechanisms of how MnO2 NPs and MnSO4 affect hepatic lipid metabolism in a freshwater fish yellow catfish. Compared to MnSO4, dietary MnO2 NPs caused liver injury, increased hepatic lipid accumulation and induced lipotoxicity, and up-regulated mRNA expression of de novo lipogenic genes. Moreover, MnO2 NPs downregulated the expression of miR-92a and miR-92b-3p, microRNAs involved in regulation of lipid metabolism, in the liver. Mechanistically, we found that acls3, an acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase, is target gene of miR-92a, and miR-92a-acsl3-dependent de novo lipogenesis contributes to lipid accumulation and lipotoxicity induced by MnO2 NPs. Collectively, these findings provided novel insights into mechanism whereby miRNAs mediate nanoparticles- and inorganic Mn-induced hepatic lipotoxicity and changes of lipid metabolism in vertebrates. Our findings also shed new perspective for ecotoxicity and ecological risk of MnO2 NPs and MnSO4 in aquatic environment.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide nanoparticles (MnO2-NPs) have a wide range of applications in biomedicine. Given this widespread usage, it is worth noting that MnO2-NPs are definitely toxic, especially to the brain. However, the damage caused by MnO2-NPs to the choroid plexus (CP) and to the brain after crossing CP epithelial cells has not been elucidated. Therefore, this study aims to investigate these effects and elucidate potential underlying mechanisms through transcriptomics analysis. To achieve this objective, eighteen SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: the control group (control), low-dose exposure group (low-dose) and high-dose exposure group (high-dose). Animals in the two treated groups were administered with two concentrations of MnO2-NPs (200 mg kg-1 BW and 400 mg kg-1 BW) using a noninvasive intratracheal injection method once a week for three months. Finally, the neural behavior of all the animals was tested using a hot plate tester, open-field test and Y-type electric maze. The morphological characteristics of the CP and hippocampus were observed by H&E stain, and the transcriptome of CP tissues was analysed by transcriptome sequencing. The representative differentially expressed genes were quantified by qRT-PCR. We found that treatment with MnO2-NPs could induce learning capacity and memory faculty decline and destroy the structure of hippocampal and CP cells in rats. High doses of MnO2-NPs had a more obvious destructive capacity. For transcriptomic analysis, we found that there were significant differences in the numbers and types of differential genes in CP between the low- and high-dose groups compared to the control. Through GO terms and KEGG analysis, high-dose MnO2-NPs significantly affected the expression of transporters, ion channel proteins, and ribosomal proteins. There were 17 common differentially expressed genes. Most of them were transporter and binding genes on the cell membrane, and some of them had kinase activity. Three genes, Brinp, Synpr and Crmp1, were selected for qRT-PCR to confirm their expression differences among the three groups. In conclusion, high-dose MnO2-NPs exposure induced abnormal neurobehaviour, impaired memory function, destroyed the structure of the CP and changed its transcriptome in rats. The most significant DEGs in the CP were within the transport system.

Neuroprotective Effect of Vitamin D on Behavioral and Oxidative Parameters of Male and Female Adult Wistar Rats Exposed to Mancozeb (manganese/zinc ethylene bis-dithiocarbamate). Mol Neurobiol 2023; 60:3724-3740.

Abstract
The constant exposure of rural workers to pesticides is a serious public health problem. Mancozeb (MZ) is a pesticide linked to hormonal, behavioral, genetic, and neurodegenerative effects, mainly related to oxidative stress. Vitamin D is a promising molecule that acts as a protector against brain aging. This study aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective role of vitamin D in adult male and female Wistar rats exposed to MZ. Animals received 40 mg/kg of MZ i.p. and 12.5 μg/kg or 25 μg/kg vitamin D by gavage, twice a week, for 6 weeks. The concentration of manganese had a significant increase in the hippocampus of both sexes and in the striatum of females, unlike zinc, which did not show a significant increase. MZ poisoning led to mitochondrial changes in brain tissues and promoted anxiogenic effects, especially in females. Alterations in antioxidant enzymes, mainly in the catalase activity were observed in intoxicated rats. Taken together, our results showed that exposure to MZ leads to the accumulation of manganese in brain tissues, and the behavior and metabolic/oxidative impairment were different between the sexes. Furthermore, the administration of Vitamin D was effective in preventing the damage caused by the pesticide.

Vitamin Supplementation Protects against Nanomaterial-Induced Oxidative Stress and Inflammation Damages: A Meta-Analysis of In Vitro and In Vivo Studies. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14112214.

Abstract
The extensive applications of nanomaterials have increased their toxicities to human health. As a commonly recommended health care product, vitamins have been reported to exert protective roles against nanomaterial-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. However, there have been some controversial conclusions in regards to this field of research. This meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively evaluate the roles and mechanisms of vitamins for cells and animals exposed to nanomaterials. Nineteen studies (seven in vitro, eleven in vivo and one in both) were enrolled by searching PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. STATA 15.0 software analysis showed vitamin E treatment could significantly decrease the levels of oxidants [reactive oxygen species (ROS), total oxidant status (TOS), malondialdehyde (MDA)], increase anti-oxidant glutathione peroxidase (GPx), suppress inflammatory mediators (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, IgE), improve cytotoxicity (manifested by an increase in cell viability and a decrease in pro-apoptotic caspase-3 activity), and genotoxicity (represented by a reduction in the tail length). These results were less changed after subgroup analyses. Pooled analysis of in vitro studies indicated vitamin C increased cell viability and decreased ROS levels, but its anti-oxidant potential was not observed in the meta-analysis of in vivo studies. Vitamin A could decrease MDA, TOS and increase GPx, but its effects on these indicators were weaker than vitamin E. Also, the combination of vitamin A with vitamin E did not provide greater anti-oxidant effects than vitamin E alone. In summary, we suggest vitamin E alone supplementation may be a cost-effective option to prevent nanomaterial-induced injuries.

Abstract
Metal base nanoparticles are widely produced all over the world and used in many fields and products such as medicine, electronics, cosmetics, paints, ceramics, toys, kitchen utensils and toothpastes. They are able to enter the body through digestive, respiratory, and alimentary systems. These nanoparticles can also cross the blood brain barrier, enter the brain and aggregate in the hippocampus. After entering the hippocampus, they induce oxidative stress, neuro-inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and gene expression alteration in hippocampal cells, which finally lead to neuronal apoptosis. Metal base nanoparticles can also affect hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity that both of them play crucial role in memory and learning. On the one hand, hippocampal cells are severely vulnerable due to their high metabolic activity, and on the other hand, metal base nanoparticles have high potential to damage hippocampus through variety of mechanisms and affect its functions. This review discusses, in detail, nanoparticles' detrimental effects on the hippocampus in cellular, molecular and functional levels to reveal that according to the present information, which types of nanoparticles have more potential to induce hippocampal toxicity and psychiatric disorders and which types should be more evaluated in the future studies.

Abstract
The induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) is an attractive strategy for generating in situ autologous tumor cell-based vaccines and thus has great potential in cancer prevention and personalized immunotherapy. However, the effectiveness of ICD in tumor immunotherapy has been greatly limited, mainly by low induction efficiency and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we report a new strategy for chemo-photothermal therapy-induced ICD by employing photothermal MnO2 nanoparticles loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) in tumor immunotherapy to overcome the low efficiency of traditional ICD inducers and the immunosuppressive TME. Specifically, we prepared photothermal bovine serum albumin (BSA)-templated MnO2 NPs (BSA/MnO2 NPs) with good aqueous dispersibility and high biocompatibility through the direct reduction of KMnO4 with BSA, and we then efficiently loaded DOX, an ICD inducer, onto the MnO2 NPs through coordination (DOX-BSA/MnO2 NPs). The DOX-BSA/MnO2 NPs achieved high photothermal conversion efficiency, highly efficient tumor targeting, TME-responsive DOX release and modulation of the hypoxic TME. Notably, a marked in vivo synergistic therapeutic effect was achieved in a triple-negative breast carcinoma-bearing mouse model by combining chemo-photothermal therapy-induced ICD with amelioration of the immunosuppressive TME. Our research highlights the great promise of modulating the TME with photothermal MnO2 nanosystems to enhance ICD-induced antitumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are used in many products and materials for humans such as electronics, in medicine for drug delivery, as biosensors, in biotechnology, and in agriculture, as ingredients in cosmetics and food supplements. Besides that, NPs may display potentially hazardous properties on human health and the environment as a consequence of their abundant use in life nowadays. Hence, there is increased interest of researchers to provide possible therapeutic agents or dietary supplements for the amelioration of NP-induced toxicity. This review summarizes the new findings in the research of the use of antioxidants as supplements for the prevention and alleviation of harmful effects caused by exposure of organisms to NPs. Also, mechanisms involved in the formation of NP-induced oxidative stress and protective mechanisms using different antioxidant substances have also been elaborated. This review also highlights the potential of naturally occurring antioxidants for the enhancement of the antioxidant defense systems in the prevention and mitigation of organism damage caused by NP-induced oxidative stress. Based on the presented results of the most recent studies, it may be concluded that the role of antioxidants in the prevention and treatment of nanoparticle-induced toxicity is unimpeachable. This is particularly important in terms of oxidative stress suppression.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element for humans, but long-term environmental or occupational exposures can lead to numerous health problems. Although many studies have identified an association between Mn exposures and neurological abnormalities, emerging data suggest that occupationally and environmentally relevant levels of Mn may also be linked to multiple organ dysfunction in the general population. In this regard, many experimental and clinical studies provide support for a causal link between Mn exposure and structural and functional changes that are responsible for organ dysfunction in major organs like lung, liver, and kidney. The underlying mechanisms suggested to Mn toxicity include altered activities of the components of intracellular signaling cascades, oxidative stress, apoptosis, affected cell cycle regulation, autophagy, angiogenesis, and an inflammatory response. We further discussed the sources and possible mechanisms of Mn absorption and distribution in different organs. Finally, treatment strategies available for treating Mn toxicity as well as directions for future studies were discussed.

Abstract
Previous research has indicated that triploid crucian carp (3n fish) have preferential resistance to cadmium (Cd) compared to Carassius auratas red var. (2n fish). In this article, comparative research is further conducted between the 2n and 3n fish in terms of the immune response to Cd-induced stress. Exposure to 9 mg/L Cd for 96 h changed the hepatic function indexes remarkably in the 2n fish, but not in the 3n fish. In the serum of Cd-treated 2n fish, the levels of alanine amino transferase, aspartate aminotransferase, adenosine deaminase, and total bilirubin significantly increased, while the levels of total protein, albumin, lysozyme, and anti-superoxide anion radicals decreased demonstrating hepatotoxicity. By analysis of transcriptome profiles, many immune-related pathways were found to be involved in the response of 3n fish to the Cd-induced stress. Expression levels of the immune genes, including the interleukin genes, tumor necrosis factor super family member genes, chemokine gene, toll-like receptor gene, and inflammatory marker cyclooxygenase 2 gene were significantly enhanced in the hepatopancreas of the Cd-treated 3n fish. In contrast, the expression levels of these genes decreased in the 2n fish. This research provides a theoretical basis for polyploid fish breeding and is helpful for the ecological restoration of water due to pollution.

Vitamins A and D fail to protect against tuberculosis-drug-induced liver injury: A post hoc analysis of a previous randomized controlled trial. Nutrition 2021; 86:111155. [PMID: 33601121 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2021.111155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2020] [Revised: 12/14/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Vitamins A and D provided protection from xenobiotic-induced liver injury in previous animal studies. We conducted a post hoc analysis of our previous randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of vitamin A and D supplementation on tuberculosis-drug-induced liver injury. METHODS The trial was conducted in a hospital in Qingdao, China, from October 2012 to March, 2015. The control group received only tuberculosis treatment. The vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamins A & D groups received, respectively, additional supplementation of 2000 IU/d vitamin A, 400 IU/d vitamin D, and a combination of 2000 IU/d vitamin A and 400 IU/d vitamin D. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyltransferase, and cholinesterase were monitored throughout the treatment. Liver injury was defined as ALT or AST three times higher than the upper limit of normal, which was defined for AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyltransferase, and cholinesterase, respectively, as 40 U/L, 40 U/L, 150 U/L, 40 U/L, and 10 500 U/L. RESULTS Among the 753 participants, 11% exhibited liver injury. No significant effect of vitamin A or D supplementation was observed on the incidence of liver injury or on elevated liver indices including ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyltransferase, and cholinesterase. The interaction between vitamin A and D supplementation was not significant. CONCLUSIONS Vitamin A and D supplementation did not protect against tuberculosis-drug-induced liver injury. Future work should evaluate the effects of higher dosages of vitamins A and D and the effects of different genotypes for vitamin A and D metabolic enzymes or receptors.

Abstract
Kidney ischemia reperfusion (IR) contributes to the development of acute kidney injury. The hypoxic conditions in ischemic damage lead to oxidative stress and apoptotic cell death. We investigated the effects of vitamin D3 (Vit D) and erythropoietin (EPO) on microRNA-21(miR-21) expression in renal IR. Wistar rats were divided into five groups including the control, vehicle + IR, Vit D + IR, EPO + IR, and Vit D + EPO + IR groups. The animals were unilaterally nephrectomized and subjected to 45 min of renal pedicle occlusion followed by 24 h reperfusion. Vitamin D3 and EPO were administered prior to ischemia. After 24 h reperfusion, the kidney samples were collected for the detection of miR-21, heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) and caspase-3 expression levels. Kidney IR significantly increased the expression of miR-21, hsp70 and capase-3 and blood urea nitrogen (BUN)-Cr levels. Treatment with vitamin D3 and EPO significantly decreased the BUN-Cr levels and hsp70 and caspase-3 expression. Also, the co-administration of two drugs significantly increased miR-21 expression. It seems that vitamin D3 or EPO administration could protect the kidney against IR injury. However, vitamin D3 and EPO co-treatment was the most effective compared with the other treatment groups.

Abstract
Nowadays, different kinds of nanoparticles (NPs) are produced around the world and used in many fields and products. NPs can enter the body and aggregate in the various organs including brain. They can damage neurons, in particular dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) and striatal neurons which their lesion is associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). So, NPs can have a role in PD induction along with other agents and factors. PD is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world, and in patients, its symptoms progressively worsen day by day through different pathways including oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, α-synuclein increasing and aggregation, apoptosis and reduction of tyrosine hydroxylase positive cells. Unfortunately, there is no effective treatment for PD. So, prevention of this disease is very important. On the other hand, without having sufficient information about PD inducers, prevention of this disease would not be possible. Therefore, we need to have sufficient information about things we contact with them in daily life. Since, NPs are widely used in different products especially in consumer products, and they can enter to the brain easily, in this review the toxicity effects of metal and metal oxide NPs have been evaluated in molecular and cellular levels to determine potential of different kinds of NPs in development of PD.

Abstract
Introduction: Renal ischemia reperfusion (IR) contributes to the development of acute renal failure (ARF). Free radicals are considered to be principal components involved in the pathophysiological alterations observed during IR. In this study, we evaluated the effects of vitamin D and erythropoietin (EPO) in IR–induced renal and liver damage. Methods: Wistar rats were divided into five groups of 6 each. 1) The control, 2) IR, 3) VD3 (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) + IR, 4) EPO+ IR, and 5) VD3+EPO+ IR groups. The rats were unilaterally nephrectomized and subjected to 45 minutes of renal pedicle occlusion followed by 24 h reperfusion. Vitamin D (10 mg/kg, IP) and EPO (1000 U/kg, IP) were administered prior to ischemia. After 24 hours reperfusion, the blood samples were collected for the determination of biochemical parameters and kidney and liver samples were taken for histological studies. Results: Renal ischemia significantly decreased kidney and liver functions. IR significantly increased blood urea nitrogen-creatinine (BUN-Cr), glucose, total protein and liver enzyme levels and significantly decreased hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) values. Histopathological findings of the IR group confirmed that there were glomerular atrophy and acute tubular necrosis in the renal tissues and lymphocyte infiltration in the liver samples. Treatment with vitamin D and EPO boosted liver and kidney functions and improved the morphological changes. Conclusion: It seems that vitamin D or EPO administration could protect the kidney and liver damage induced by IR. Also, the combination of vitamin D and EPO may exert more beneficial effects than either agent used alone.

Abstract
Natural halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) with a hollow lumen have been widely applied in many fields, such as water purification, drug carriers, cosmetics, antibacterial, and scaffolds for tissue engineering. However, their in vivo toxicity is still largely unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate sub-chronic oral toxicity of HNTs in the small intestine of mice. The results demonstrated that oral HNTs at low dose (5 mg/kg) for 30 days promoted mouse growth with no obvious adverse effect on the small intestine. The promotive effect on mouse growth disappeared after cessation of oral administration of HNTs. Oral HNTs at high dose (50 mg/kg) for 30 days induced aluminum (Al) and silicon (Si) accumulation and oxidative stress in the small intestine, which caused significant increases in the levels of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and inflammatory response and iNOS-mediated damages in the organ. Oral HNTs-induced changes in the small intestine at high dose were not observed after a 30-day recovery period. These findings provided the first evidence that oral HNTs-induced sub-chronic toxicity in the small intestine was reversible. The results suggest that HNTs at low concentration in environments have no adverse effect on mice, while there are health risks to mice under severe contamination by HNTs.
