[PMID: 36746289 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121174] [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: 12/08/2022] [Revised: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Nickel (Ni) is a widespread environmental pollutant commonly released into effluent due to industrial activities, the use of fuels, or wastewater disposal. Many studies confirm the toxic effects of this heavy metal. However, there is a lack of knowledge and data on bioaccumulation patterns in tissues as well as cellular and molecular responses following the exposure of living organisms to Ni. In this study, Japanese quails were exposed to low (10 μg/L) and high (2000 μg/L) Ni concentrations in the form of nickel(II) chloride via drinking water. Sub-chronic exposure lasted 30 days while nominal concentrations represented average Ni content in drinking water (low dose) and average Ni levels in highly polluted aquatic environments (high dose). It was revealed that a high dose of Ni was correlated with increased water intake and decreased body weight. Overall, Ni exposure induced the development of microcytic anemia and alterations in measured blood indices. Moreover, Ni exposure impaired immunological activation as seen through the increased number of the white blood cells, increased heterophile/lymphocyte (H/L) ratio, and pronounced thrombocytosis. Ni elicited changes in the albumin, glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride serum levels in a concentration-dependent manner. Alterations of plasma protein fractions suggested liver functional impairment while high levels of urea and creatinine indicated potential kidney injury. Granulation of heterophiles and an increase in erythroblasts in the bone marrow showed that the hematopoietic tissue was also impacted by Ni toxicity. On average each quail bioaccumulated 5.87 μg of Ni per gram of tissue. Moreover, the distribution and bioaccumulation of Ni in terms of relative concentration were as follows: feathers > kidneys > heart > liver > pectoral muscles. Assessed bioaccumulation levels and associated cellular and metabolic alterations have revealed new multilayer toxicological data that will help in the extrapolation of Ni toxicity in other vertebrates, including humans.

Abstract
Cobalt, chromium, and nickel are used in orthopedic prostheses. They can be released, accumulate in many organs, and be toxic. The aim of this study is to evaluate the cytotoxicity of these metals on human hepatocytes and to improve our knowledge of their cellular toxicity mechanisms by metabolomic analysis. HepaRG cells were incubated for 48 h with increasing concentrations of metals to determine their IC50. Then, a nontargeted metabolomic study using liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) was done at IC50 and at a lower concentration (100 nM), near to those found in the blood and liver of patients with prostheses. IC50 were defined at 940, 2, and 1380 μM for Co, Cr, and Ni, respectively. In vitro, Cr appears to be much more toxic than Co and Ni. Metabolomic analysis revealed the disruption of metabolic pathways from the low concentration of 100 nM, in particular tryptophan metabolism and lipid metabolism illustrated by an increase in phenylacetylglycine, a marker of phospholipidosis, for all three metals. They also appear to be responsible for oxidative stress. Dysregulation of these pathways impacts hepatocyte metabolism and may result in hepatotoxicity. Further investigations on accessible biological matrices should be conducted to correlate our in vitro results with the clinical data of prostheses-bearing patients.

Abstract
Titanium-based alloys have established a crucial role in implantology. As material deteriorates overtime, nanoparticles of TiO2 and Ni are released. This study is focused on the impact of TiO2 and Ni nanoparticles with size of 100 nm on cytoskeletal and adhesive changes in human physiological and osteoarthritic osteoblasts. The impact of nanoparticles with concentration of 1.5 ng/mL on actin and tubulin expression and gene expression of FAK and ICAM-1 was studied. The cell size and actin expression of physiological osteoblasts decreased in presence of Ni nanoparticles, while TiO2 nanoparticles caused increase in cell size and actin expression. Both cell lines expressed more FAK as a response to TiO2 nanoparticles. ICAM-1 gene was overexpressed in both cell lines as a reaction to both types of nanoparticles. The presented study shows a crucial role of Ni and TiO2 nanoparticles in human osteoblast cytoskeletal and adhesive changes, especially connected with the osteoarthritic cells. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Nickel, a heavy metal found in electronic wastes and fume from electronic cigarettes, induces neuronal cell death and is associated with neurocognitive impairment. Astrocytes are the first line of defense against nickel after entering the brain; however, the effects of nickel on astrocytes remain unknown. Herein, we investigated the effect of nickel exposure on cell survival and proliferation and the underlying mechanisms in U-87 MG human astrocytoma cells and primary human astrocytes. Intracellular nickel levels were elevated in U-87 MG cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner after exposure to nickel chloride. The median toxic concentrations of nickel in astrocytoma cells and primary human astrocytes were 600.60 and >1000 µM at 48 h post-exposure, respectively. Nickel exposure triggered apoptosis in concomitant with the decreased expression of anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma protein (Bcl-2) and increased caspase-3/7 activity. Nickel induced reactive oxygen species formation. Additionally, nickel suppressed astrocyte proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner by delaying G2 to M phase transition through the upregulation of cyclin B1 and p27 protein expression. These results indicate that nickel-induced cytotoxicity of astrocytes is mediated by the activation of apoptotic pathway and disruption of cell cycle regulation.

TRPM7 channel activity in Jurkat T lymphocytes during magnesium depletion and loading: implications for divalent metal entry and cytotoxicity. Pflugers Arch 2020; 472:1589-1606. [PMID: 32964285 DOI: 10.1007/s00424-020-02457-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2020] [Revised: 08/26/2020] [Accepted: 08/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
TRPM7 is a cation channel-protein kinase highly expressed in T lymphocytes and other immune cells. It has been proposed to constitute a cellular entry pathway for Mg2+ and divalent metal cations such as Ca2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Mn2+, and Ni2+. TRPM7 channels are inhibited by cytosolic Mg2+, rendering them largely inactive in intact cells. The dependence of channel activity on extracellular Mg2+ is less well studied. Here, we measured native TRPM7 channel activity in Jurkat T cells maintained in external Mg2+ concentrations varying between 400 nM and 1.4 mM for 1-3 days, obtaining an IC50 value of 54 μM. Maintaining the cells in 400 nM or 8 μM [Mg2+]o resulted in almost complete activation of TRPM7 in intact cells, due to cytosolic Mg2+ depletion. A total of 1.4 mM [Mg2+]o was sufficient to fully eliminate the basal current. Submillimolar concentrations of amiloride prevented cellular Mg2+ depletion but not loading. We investigated whether the cytotoxicity of TRPM7 permeant metal ions Ni2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ requires TRPM7 channel activity. Mg2+ loading modestly reduced cytotoxicity of Zn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Mn2+ but not of Cd2+. Channel blocker NS8593 reduced Co2+ and Mn2+ but not Cd2+ or Zn2+ cytotoxicity and interfered with Mg2+ loading as evaluated by TRPM7 channel basal activity. Ba2+ and Sr2+ were neither detectably toxic nor permeant through the plasma membrane. These results indicate that in Jurkat T cells, entry of toxic divalent metal cations primarily occurs through pathways distinct from TRPM7. By contrast, we found evidence that Mg2+ entry requires TRPM7 channels.

Abstract
Background:
Nickel (Ni) is mostly applied in a number of industrial areas such as printing
inks, welding, alloys, electronics and electrical professions. Occupational or environmental exposure to
nickel may lead to cancer, allergy reaction, nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, neurotoxicity, as well as
cell damage, apoptosis and oxidative stress.
Methods:
In here, we focused on published studies about cell death, carcinogenicity, allergy reactions
and neurotoxicity, and promising agents for the prevention and treatment of the toxicity by Ni.
Results:
Our review showed that in the last few years, more researches have focused on reactive oxygen
species formation, oxidative stress, DNA damages, apoptosis, interaction with involving receptors
in allergy and mitochondrial damages in neuron induced by Ni.
Conclusion:
The collected data in this paper provide useful information about the main toxicities induced
by Ni, also, their fundamental mechanisms, and how to discover new ameliorative agents for
prevention and treatment by reviewing agents with protective and therapeutic consequences on Ni
induced toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increased use of heavy metal nickel in modern industries results in increased environmental impact. Occupational and environmental exposure to nickel is closely linked to an increased risk of human lung cancer and nasal cancer. OBJECTIVE Unlike other heavy metal carcinogens, nickel has weak mutagenic activity. Carcinogenesis caused by nickel is intensively studied, but the precise mechanism of action is not yet known. RESULTS Epigenetic changes, activation of hypoxia signaling pathways, and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are considered to be the major molecular mechanisms involved in nickelinduced carcinogenesis. CONCLUSION This review provides insights into current research on nickel-induced carcinogenesis and suggests possible effective therapeutic strategies for nickel-induced carcinogenesis.

[PMID: 31628918 DOI: 10.1016/j.taap.2019.114784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2019] [Revised: 10/12/2019] [Accepted: 10/14/2019] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
The aim was to explore the biological effect of nickel (Ni) and titanium (Ti) ions released from dental alloys. NiTi alloy were exposed to 40 mL of artificial saliva (pH = 4.8, t = 37 °C). The dynamics of Ni and Ti ions release during corrosion were recorded on the 3th, 7th and 14th day. Biological effect of Ni and Ti ions released from alloy was explored on cell lines of human tongue CAL 27, liver Hep G2 and colon Caco-2. Neutral Red uptake assay for the estimation of cell viability/cytotoxicity and 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate fluorimetric assay for reactive oxygen species were used. Cells were exposed to the following concentration of corrosion products: 5.0×, 1.0×, 0.5 and 0.1× during the period of 24, 48 and 72 h. To check the effect of each metal separately, cells were exposed to nickel-chloride and titanium-dioxide of corresponding concentration. The release of Ni is higher than of Ti (15.1-30.4 μg/L for Ni and 9.0-17.3 μg/L for Ti, respectively) and 5× higher concentrations are needed to induce cytotoxic effect. Ni and Ti ions alone do not induce a major cytotoxic effect, but their combination does indicating their synergistic effect. Increase in concentration of Ni and Ti tends to increase cytotoxicity, Ti more than Ni. Cytotoxicity and induction of free radicals are in strong positive linear correlation. Ions released from NiTi alloy during 14 days do not induce significant cytotoxic effect and would not have a clinically important impact. Cytotoxic effect is largely the result of the induction of free radicals.

Abstract
The current study was intended to elucidate the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity ability of nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles (NPs) and assessment of preliminary mechanism of the toxicity. Characterization studies showed that NiO-NPs have a particle size of 17.94 (±3.48) nm. The particle size of the NPs obtained by dynamic light scattering method in Milli-Q and RPMI 1640 media was 189.9 (±17.1) and 285.9 (±19.6) nm, respectively. The IC50 concentration for NiO-NPs after 24 hours of treatment was estimated as 23.58 μg/mL. Comet and cytokinesis-block micronucleus assays revealed a significant dose- and time-dependent genotoxic potential of NiO-NPs. Morphological assessment of the lymphocytes upon exposure to NiO-NPs showed that the mechanism of toxicity was apoptosis. Reactive oxygen species analysis and lipid peroxidation patterns were aligned with the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity endpoints. Thus, the preliminary mechanism of NiO-NPs for cytotoxicity on lymphocytes was assumed to be oxidative stress-mediated apoptosis and DNA damage. Furthermore, these NiO-NPs are considered a potentially hazardous substance at environmentally significant levels. Further investigations are suggested to understand the immunotoxic effects of NiO-NPs.
