Arsenic exposure and oxidative damage to lipid, DNA, and protein among general Chinese adults: A repeated-measures cross-sectional and longitudinal study. J Environ Sci (China) 2025; 147:382-391. [PMID: 39003056 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2023.12.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
Arsenic-related oxidative stress and resultant diseases have attracted global concern, while longitudinal studies are scarce. To assess the relationship between arsenic exposure and systemic oxidative damage, we performed two repeated measures among 5236 observations (4067 participants) in the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort at the baseline and follow-up after 3 years. Urinary total arsenic, biomarkers of DNA oxidative damage (8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG)), lipid peroxidation (8-isoprostaglandin F2alpha (8-isoPGF2α)), and protein oxidative damage (protein carbonyls (PCO)) were detected for all observations. Here we used linear mixed models to estimate the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between arsenic exposure and oxidative damage. Exposure-response curves were constructed by utilizing the generalized additive mixed models with thin plate regressions. After adjusting for potential confounders, arsenic level was significantly and positively related to the levels of global oxidative damage and their annual increased rates in dose-response manners. In cross-sectional analyses, each 1% increase in arsenic level was associated with a 0.406% (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.379% to 0.433%), 0.360% (0.301% to 0.420%), and 0.079% (0.055% to 0.103%) increase in 8-isoPGF2α, 8-OHdG, and PCO, respectively. More importantly, arsenic was further found to be associated with increased annual change rates of 8-isoPGF2α (β: 0.147; 95% CI: 0.130 to 0.164), 8-OHdG (0.155; 0.118 to 0.192), and PCO (0.050; 0.035 to 0.064) in the longitudinal analyses. Our study suggested that arsenic exposure was not only positively related with global oxidative damage to lipid, DNA, and protein in cross-sectional analyses, but also associated with annual increased rates of these biomarkers in dose-dependent manners.

Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of PAHs exposure with serum uric acid and hyperuricemia among Chinese urban residents: the potential role of oxidative damage. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024:124664. [PMID: 39098642 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124664] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 07/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
A few studies found polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were associated with serum uric acid (SUA) or hyperuricemia (HUA). However, the longitudinal study is vacant, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to assess the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of urinary PAHs metabolites with SUA levels and HUA risk, and explore the mediating effects of oxidative stress and inflammation. 10 urinary mono-hydroxylated PAHs metabolites and SUA levels were measured among 4047 Chinese urban residents at baseline and 1496 individuals at 6-year follow-up. Biomarkers of oxidative damage and inflammation in urine/plasma were determined at baseline. We adopted generalized linear mixed models and logistic regression to assess the associations of PAHs metabolites with SUA and HUA, weighted quantile sum regression and adaptive elastic net regression to evaluate the overall effects of multi-PAHs mixture, and mediation analysis to estimate the mediating roles of the biomarkers. In the cross-sectional study, each 1-unit increase in the ln-transformed values of 2-OHNa, 2-OHFlu, 4-OHPh, 9-OHPh, 3-OHPh, 2-OHPh, ΣOHNa, ΣOHPh, and ΣOHPAHs was associated with a 4.10-, 3.90-, 6.42-, 7.33-, 4.85-, 5.43-, 4.47-, 7.67-, and 5.22-μmol/L increase in SUA, respectively. Meanwhile, each 1-unit increase in the ln-transformed values of 1-OHNa, 2-OHNa, 4-OHPh, 9-OHPh, 3-OHPh, 2-OHPh, ΣOHNa, ΣOHPh, and ΣOHPAHs was associated with a 17, 14, 15, 22, 14, 19, 18, 27, and 21% increment in HUA risk, respectively. After 6 years, individuals with persistent high level of 9-OHPh had a 12.5 μmol/L increase in SUA compared with those with persistent low level. The overall effects of multi-PAHs mixture on SUA and HUA remain positive. 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine mediated the associations of PAHs metabolites with SUA and HUA, and the mediated proportion ranged from 5.39% to 15.34%. PAHs exposure was associated with the elevated SUA levels and increased HUA risk, and oxidative DNA damage may be one of the underlying mechanisms.

Associations of polychlorinated biphenyls exposure, lifestyle, and genetic susceptibility with dyslipidemias: Evidence from a general Chinese population. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 470:134073. [PMID: 38552393 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134073] [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: 01/21/2024] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are endocrine-disrupting chemicals that have been associated with various adverse health conditions. Herein we explored the associations of PCBs with dyslipidemia and further assessed the modification effect of genetic susceptibility and lifestyle factors. Six serum PCBs (PCB-28, 101, 118, 138, 153, 180) were determined in 3845 participants from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. Dyslipidemia, including hyper-total cholesterol (HyperTC), hyper-triglyceride (HyperTG), hyper-low density lipoprotein cholesterol (HyperLDL-C), and hypo-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HypoHDL-C) were determined, and lipid-specific polygenic risk scores (PRS) and healthy lifestyle score were constructed. We found that all six PCB congeners were positively associated with the prevalence of dyslipidemias, and ΣPCB level was associated with HyperTC, HyperTG, and HyperLDL-C in dose-response manners. Compared with the lowest tertiles of ΣPCB, the odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) in the highest tertiles were 1.490 (1.258, 1.765) for HyperTC, 1.957 (1.623, 2.365) for HyperTG, and 1.569 (1.316, 1.873) for HyperLDL-C, respectively. Compared with those with low ΣPCB, healthy lifestyle, and low genetic risk, participants with high ΣPCB, unfavorable lifestyle, and high genetic risk had the highest odds of HyperTC, HyperTG, and HyperLDL-C. Our study provided evidence that high PCB exposure exacerbated the association of genetic risk and unhealthy lifestyle with dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Introduction Available literature has found an association between firefighting and pathologic pathways leading to cardiorespiratory diseases, which have been linked with exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are highlighted as priority pollutants by the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative in occupational and non-occupational contexts. Methods This cross-sectional study is the first to simultaneously characterize six creatinine-adjusted PAHs metabolites (OHPAHs) in urine, blood pressure, cardiac frequency, and hemogram parameters among wildland firefighters without occupational exposure to fire emissions (> 7 days), while exploring several variables retrieved via questionnaires. Results Overall, baseline levels for total OHPAHs levels were 2 to 23-times superior to the general population, whereas individual metabolites remained below the general population median range (except for 1-hydroxynaphthalene+1-hydroxyacenaphtene). Exposure to gaseous pollutants and/or particulate matter during work-shift was associated with a 3.5-fold increase in total OHPAHs levels. Firefighters who smoke presented 3-times higher total concentration of OHPAHs than non-smokers (p < 0.001); non-smoker females presented 2-fold lower total OHPAHs (p = 0.049) than males. 1-hydroxypyrene was below the recommended occupational biological exposure value (2.5 μg/L), and the metabolite of carcinogenic PAH (benzo(a)pyrene) was not detected. Blood pressure was above 120/80 mmHg in 71% of subjects. Firefighters from the permanent intervention team presented significantly increased systolic pressure than those who performed other functions (p = 0.034). Tobacco consumption was significantly associated with higher basophils (p = 0.01-0.02) and hematocrit (p = 0.03). No association between OHPAHs and blood pressure was found. OHPAHs concentrations were positively correlated with monocyte, basophils, large immune cells, atypical lymphocytes, and mean corpuscular volume, which were stronger among smokers. Nevertheless, inverse associations were observed between fluorene and pyrene metabolites with neutrophils and eosinophils, respectively, in non-smokers. Hemogram was negatively affected by overworking and lower physical activity. Conclusion This study suggests possible associations between urinary PAHs metabolites and health parameters in firefighters, that should be further assessed in larger groups.

Longitudinal association of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and genetic risk with lung function. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 340:122801. [PMID: 37890693 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122801] [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: 11/01/2022] [Revised: 10/21/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
To quantify the association of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the polygenic risk score (PRS) with lung function decline, we developed a repeated-measures study with 4681 observations from baseline and 6-year follow-up of the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. Lung function and urinary monohydroxylated PAH metabolites (OH-PAHs) were measured for each observation. The PRS was derived from 246 lung function-associated genetic variants weighted by the effect size of the decreasing ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s by forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC). Linear mixed models were used to estimate the longitudinal exposure-response relationships between OH-PAHs and lung function, and to evaluate the interactions between OH-PAHs and PRS on the longitudinal change of lung function. We found that each 1-unit increase in log-transformed values of 9-hydroxyfluorene, 2-hydroxyfluorene, 4-hydroxyphenanthrene, 9-hydroxyphenanthrene, 2-hydroxyphenanthrene, 1-hydroxyphenanthrene, 1-hydroxypyrene, low molecular weight OH-PAHs (ΣLMW-OH-PAHs), and total OH-PAHs (ΣOH-PAHs) was associated with an annual change in FEV1/FVC of -0.140, -0.112, -0.260, -0.300, -0.159, -0.220, -0.145, -0.156, and -0.177 %/year, respectively. Interactions on the annual decline of FEV1/FVC were detected between ΣLMW-OH-PAHs and PRS (-0.010 %/year, 95% confidence interval -0.018 to -0.001, Pint = 0.0228), and between ΣOH-PAHs and PRS (-0.010 %/year, -0.018 to -0.001, Pint = 0.0203). These results indicated that specific and total urinary OH-PAHs were associated with the longitudinal FEV1/FVC decline, and ΣLMW-OH-PAHs as well as ΣOH-PAHs interacted with PRS on the annual decline of FEV1/FVC.

Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) metabolites exposure with lung function alternation in the Chinese general adults. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 905:167729. [PMID: 37820796 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167729] [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: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
Exposure of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) pesticide was suggested to be associated with adverse effects on the respiratory system. However, the effects of DDT exposure on lung function remain unclear. Our objectives were to investigate the potential associations of internal levels of DDT and its metabolites including dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD) with lung function. Serum DDT, DDE, and DDD concentrations and lung function were measured among 3968 general adults from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. The cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of serum DDT and its metabolites with lung function were assessed using linear mixed models. The results showed negative dose-response relationships of serum DDT, DDE, and DDD levels with forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1). In the cross-sectional analyses, each 1-unit increase in natural log-transformed values of p,p'-DDE, o,p'-DDT, o,p'-DDE, or p,p'-DDD was significantly associated with a 25.77-, 44.84-, 51.13-, or 43.44-mL decrease in FVC, respectively. Each 1-unit increase in natural log-transformed values of o,p'-DDT, o,p'-DDE, o,p'-DDD, or p,p'-DDD was significantly associated with a 35.72-, 31.87-, 29.54-, or 36.80-mL decrease in FEV1, respectively. In the three-year longitudinal analyses, each 1-unit increase in natural log-transformed serum p,p'-DDT and p,p'-DDE was significantly associated with a 35.10 mL and 36.38 mL decrease in FVC, and a 26.32 mL and 32.37 mL decrease in FEV1, respectively. In conclusion, DDT and its metabolites exposure were associated with lung function decline in the general Chinese adult population.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 460:132391. [PMID: 37651938 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023]
Abstract
Benzo(a)pyrene was sparsely studied for its early respiratory impairment. The non-canonical ligand WNT5A play a role in pneumonopathy, while its function during benzo(a)pyrene-induced adverse effects were largely unexplored. Individual benzo(a)pyrene, plasma WNT5A, and spirometry 24-hour change for 87 residents from Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort were determined to analyze potential role of WNT5A in benzo(a)pyrene-induced lung function alternation. Normal bronchial epithelial cell lines were employed to verify the role of WNT5A after benzo(a)pyrene treatment. RNA sequencing was adopted to screen for benzo(a)pyrene-related circulating microRNAs and differentially expressed microRNAs between benzo(a)pyrene-induced cells and controls. The most potent microRNA was selected for functional experiments and target gene validation, and their mechanistic link with WNT5A-mediated non-canonical Wnt signaling was characterized through rescue assays. We found significant associations between increased benzo(a)pyrene and reduced 24-hour changes of FEF50% and FEF75%, as well as increased WNT5A. The benzo(a)pyrene-induced inflammation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in BEAS-2B and 16HBE cells were attenuated by WNT5A silencing. hsa-miR-122-5p was significantly and positively associated with benzo(a)pyrene and elevated after benzo(a)pyrene induction, and exerted its effect by downregulating target gene TP53. Functionally, WNT5A participates in benzo(a)pyrene-induced lung epithelial injury via non-canonical Wnt signaling modulated by hsa-miR-122-5p/TP53 axis, showing great potential as a preventive and therapeutic target.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:85569-85577. [PMID: 37391563 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-28415-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2023]
Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the potential causal pathways and temporal relationships of glucose metabolism and diabetes with heart rate variability (HRV). This cohort study was conducted among a sample of 3858 Chinese adults. At baseline and 6 years follow-up, participants underwent HRV measurement (low frequency [LF], high frequency [HF], total power [TP], standard deviation of all normal-to-normal intervals [SDNN], and square root of the mean squared difference between adjacent normal-to-normal intervals [r-MSSD]) and determination of glucose homeostasis (fasting plasma glucose [FPG] and insulin [FPI], homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance [HOMA-IR]). The temporal relationships of glucose metabolism and diabetes with HRV were evaluated using cross-lagged panel analysis. FPG, FPI, HOMA-IR, and diabetes were cross-sectionally negatively associated with HRV indices at baseline and follow-up (P < 0.05). Cross-lagged panel analyses demonstrated significant unidirectional paths from baseline FPG to follow-up SDNN (β = -0.06), and baseline diabetes to follow-up low TP group (β = 0.08), low SDNN group (β = 0.05), and low r-MSSD group (β = 0.10) (P < 0.05). No significant path coefficients were observed from baseline HRV to follow-up impaired glucose homeostasis or diabetes. These significant findings persisted even after excluding participants who were taking antidiabetic medication. The results support that elevated FPG and the presence of diabetes may be the causes rather than the consequences of HRV reduction over time.

Cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between ozone exposure and glucose homeostasis: Exploring the role of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress in a general Chinese urban population. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 329:121711. [PMID: 37100372 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2023] [Revised: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 04/22/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
The adverse health effects of ozone pollution have been a globally concerned public health issue. Herein we aim to investigate the association between ozone exposure and glucose homeostasis, and to explore the potential role of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress in this association. A total of 6578 observations from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort (baseline and two follow-ups) were included in this study. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and insulin (FPI), plasma C-reactive protein (CRP, biomarker for systemic inflammation), urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG, biomarker for oxidative DNA damage), and urinary 8-isoprostane (biomarker for lipid peroxidation) were repeatedly measured. After adjusting for potential confounders, ozone exposure was positively associated with FPG, FPI, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and negatively associated with HOMA of beta cell function (HOMA-β) in cross-sectional analyses. Each 10 ppb increase in cumulative 7-days moving average ozone was associated with a 13.19%, 8.31%, and 12.77% increase in FPG, FPI, and HOMA-IR, respectively, whereas a 6.63% decrease in HOMA-β (all P < 0.05). BMI modified the associations of 7-days ozone exposure with FPI and HOMA-IR, and the effects were stronger in subgroup whose BMI ≥24 kg/m2. Consistently high exposure to annual average ozone was associated with increased FPG and FPI in longitudinal analyses. Furthermore, ozone exposure was positively related to CRP, 8-OHdG, and 8-isoprostane in dose-response manner. Increased CRP, 8-OHdG, and 8-isoprostane could dose-dependently aggravate glucose homeostasis indices elevations related to ozone exposure. Increased CRP and 8-isoprostane mediated 2.11-14.96% of ozone-associated glucose homeostasis indices increment. Our findings suggested that ozone exposure could cause glucose homeostasis damage and obese people were more susceptible. Systemic inflammation and oxidative stress might be potential pathways in glucose homeostasis damage induced by ozone exposure.

Carbon disulfide exposure induced lung function reduction partly through oxidative protein damage: A cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 454:131464. [PMID: 37104953 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
Carbon disulfide (CS2) exposure has been associated with lung function reduction in occupational population. However, evidence on the general population with relatively low CS2 exposure is lacking and the mechanism involved remains largely unknown. Urinary CS2 metabolite (2-mercaptothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, TTCA) and lung function were determined in the urban adults from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort at baseline in 2011-2012 and were repeated every 3 years. Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between TTCA and lung function were estimated using linear mixed models. Inflammation and oxidative damage biomarkers in blood/urine were measured to evaluate their potential mediating roles involved. Cross-sectionally, participants in the highest quartile of TTCA level showed a 0.64% reduction in FEV1/FVC and a -308.22 mL/s reduction in PEF, compared to those in the lowest quartile. Longitudinally, participants with consistently high TTCA level had annually -90.27 mL/s decline in PEF, compared to those with consistently low TTCA level. Mediation analysis revealed that plasma protein carbonyl mediated 49.89% and 22.10% of TTCA-associated FEV1/FVC and PEF reductions, respectively. Conclusively, there was a cross-sectional and longitudinal association between CS2 exposure and lung function reduction in the general urban adults, and protein carbonylation (oxidative protein damage) partly mediated lung function reduction from CS2 exposure.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 327:121506. [PMID: 36997143 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121506] [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: 12/09/2022] [Revised: 03/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
The effect of PM2.5 exposure on lung function reduction has been well-documented, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. MiR-4301 may be involved in regulating pathways related to lung injury/repairment, and this study aimed to explore the potential role of miR-4301 in PM2.5 exposure-associated lung function reduction. A total of 167 Wuhan community nonsmokers were included in this study. Lung function was measured and personal PM2.5 exposure moving averages were evaluated for each participant. Plasma miRNA was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction. A generalized linear model was conducted to assess the relationships among personal PM2.5 moving average concentrations, lung function, and plasma miRNA. The mediation effect of miRNA on the association of personal PM2.5 exposure with lung function reduction was estimated. Finally, we performed pathway enrichment analysis to predict the underlying pathways of miRNA in lung function reduction from PM2.5 exposure. We found that each 10 μg/m3 increase in the 7-day personal PM2.5 moving average concentration (Lag0-7) was related to a 46.71 mL, 1.15%, 157.06 mL/s, and 188.13 mL/s reductions in FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEF, and MMF, respectively. PM2.5 exposure was negatively associated with plasma miR-4301 expression levels in a dose‒response manner. Additionally, each 1% increase in miR-4301 expression level was significantly associated with a 0.36 mL, 0.01%, 1.14 mL/s, and 1.28 mL/s increases in FEV1, FEV1/FVC, MMF, and PEF, respectively. Mediation analysis further revealed that decreased miR-4301 mediated 15.6% and 16.8% of PM2.5 exposure-associated reductions in FEV1/FVC and MMF, respectively. Pathway enrichment analyses suggested that the wingless related-integration site (Wnt) signaling pathway might be one of the pathways regulated by miR-4301 in the reduction of lung function from PM2.5 exposure. In brief, personal PM2.5 exposure was negatively associated with plasma miR-4301 or lung function in a dose‒response manner. Moreover, miR-4301 partially mediated the lung function reduction associated with PM2.5 exposure.

Abstract
Styrene and ethylbenzene (S/EB) are hazardous pollutants that have attracted worldwide concern. In this prospective cohort study, S/EB exposure biomarker (the sum of mandelic acid and phenylglyoxylic acid [MA+PGA]) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) were repeatedly measured three times. The polygenic risk score (PRS) based on 137 single nucleotide polymorphisms for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was calculated to evaluate cumulative genetic effect. In repeated-measures cross-sectional analyses, MA+PGA (β [95% confidence interval]: 0.106 [0.022, 0.189]) and PRS (0.111 [0.047, 0.176]) were significantly related to FPG. For long-term effect assessment, participants with sustained high MA+PGA or with high PRS had 0.021 (95% CI: -0.398, 0.441) or 0.465 (0.064, 0.866) mmol/L increase in FPG, respectively, over 3 years follow-up, and had 0.256 (0.017, 0.494) or 0.265 (0.004, 0.527) mmol/L increase in FPG, respectively, over 6 years follow-up. We further detected a significant interaction effect between MA+PGA and PRS on FPG change, compared with participants with sustained low MA+PGA and low PRS, those with sustained high MA+PGA and high PRS had 0.778 (0.319, 1.258) mmol/L increase in FPG (P for interaction=0.028) over 6 years follow-up. Our study provides the first evidence that long-term exposure to S/EB potentially increases FPG, which might be aggravated by genetic susceptibility.

Gene-environment interaction in long-term effects of polychlorinated biphenyls exposure on glucose homeostasis and type 2 diabetes: The modifying effects of genetic risk and lifestyle.

Abstract
The longitudinal relationships of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) exposure with glucose homeostasis and type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk among Chinese population have not been assessed, and interactions of PCB exposure with genetic susceptibility and lifestyle are unclear. In this prospective cohort study, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and insulin (FPI) and seven serum indicator-PCBs were measured for each participant. We constructed polygenic risk score (PRS) of T2D and healthy lifestyle score. Each 1-unit increment of ln-transformed PCB-118 was related with a 0.141 mmol/L, 11.410 pmol/L, 0.661, and 74.5% increase in FPG, FPI, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, and incident T2D risk over 6 years, respectively. Each 1-unit increment in T2D-PRS was related with a 0.169 mmol/L elevation of FPG and 65.5% elevation of incident T2D risk during 6 years. Compared with participants who had low T2D-PRS and low PCB-118, participants with high T2D-PRS and high PCB-118 showed a significant increase in FPG (0.162 mmol/L; P for interaction <0.001) and incident T2D risk [hazard ratio (HR)= 2.222]. Participants with low PCB-118, low PRS, and healthy lifestyle had the lowest incident T2D risk (HR=0.232). Our findings highlighted the significance of reducing PCB exposure and improvement in lifestyle for T2D prevention and management, especially for individuals with higher genetic risk of T2D.

Abstract
Acrolein is an identified high-priority hazardous air pollutant ubiquitous in daily life and associated with cardiometabolic risk that attracts worldwide attention. However, the etiology role of acrolein exposure in glucose dyshomeostasis and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is unclear. This repeated-measurement prospective cohort study included 3522 urban adults. Urine/blood samples were repeatedly collected for determinations of acrolein metabolites (N-acetyl-S-(3-hydroxypropyl)-l-cysteine, N-acetyl-S-(2-carboxyethyl)-l-cysteine; acrolein exposure biomarkers), glucose homeostasis, and T2D at baseline and a three-year follow-up. We found that each 3-fold increment in acrolein metabolites was cross-sectionally associated with 5.91-6.52% decrement in homeostasis model assessment-insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IS) and 0.07-0.14 mmol/L, 4.02-4.57, 5.91-6.52, 19-20, 18-19, and 23-31% increments in fasting glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FPI), HOMA-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), risks of prevalent IR, impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and T2D, respectively; longitudinally, participants with sustained-high acrolein metabolite levels had increased risks of incident IR, IFG, and T2D by 63-80, 87-99, and 120-154%, respectively (P < 0.05). In addition, biomarkers of heme oxygenase-1 activity (exhaled carbon monoxide), lipid peroxidation (8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α), protein carbonylation (protein carbonyls), and oxidative DNA damage (8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine) mediated 5.00-38.96% of these associations. Our study revealed that acrolein exposure may impair glucose homeostasis and increase T2D risk via mediating mechanisms of heme oxygenase-1 activation, lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation, and oxidative DNA damage.

Lipid peroxidation mediates the association between iron overload and liver injury: cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses in general Chinese urban adults. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:60343-60353. [PMID: 37022540 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-26702-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
Iron overload has been associated with acute/chronic organ failure, but whether iron overload induces liver injury remains unclear. The objectives of this study were to assess the relationship between urinary iron and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT, a biomarker for liver injury), and investigate the potential mediating roles of lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage in such association. Levels of urinary iron, serum ALT, and urinary biomarkers of lipid peroxidation (8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α [8-iso-PGF2α]) and oxidative DNA damage (8-hydroxy-deoxyguano-sine [8-OHdG]) were measured among 5386 observations of 4220 participants from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. The relationships of urinary iron with serum ALT and risk of hyperALT were evaluated by linear mixed model and logistic regression model, respectively. The mediating roles of 8-iso-PGF2α and 8-OHdG were assessed by mediation analyses. This cross-sectional analysis found that urinary iron was positively associated with ALT (β = 0.032; 95% CI: 0.020, 0.044) and hyperALT prevalence (OR = 1.127; 95% CI: 1.065, 1.192). After 3 years of follow-up, participants with persistent high iron levels had increased risk of developing hyperALT (RR = 3.800; 95% CI: 1.464, 9.972) when compared with those with persistent low iron levels. In addition, each 1% increase in urinary iron was associated with a 0.146% (95% CI: 0.128%, 0.164%) increase and a 0.192% (95% CI: 0.154%, 0.229%) increase in 8-iso-PGF2α and 8-OHdG, respectively. Urinary 8-iso-PGF2α (β = 0.056; 95% CI: 0.039, 0.074) was positively associated with ALT, while the association between 8-OHdG and ALT was insignificant. Furthermore, increased 8-iso-PGF2α significantly mediated 22.48% of the urinary iron-associated ALT increment. Our study demonstrated that iron overload was significantly associated with liver injury, which was partly mediated by lipid peroxidation. Controlling iron intake and regulating lipid peroxidation may help in preventing liver injury.

Arsenic exposure incurs hyperglycemia mediated by oxidative damage in urban adult population: A prospective cohort study with three repeated measures. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 229:116009. [PMID: 37119843 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
The associations and potential mechanisms of low to moderate arsenic exposure with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are still unclear. To assess the effects of short-term and long-term arsenic exposure on hyperglycemia and the mediating effect of oxidative damage on such association, three repeated-measures studies with 9938 observations were conducted in the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. The levels of urinary total arsenic, FPG, urinary 8-iso-prostaglandin F2alpha (8-iso-PGF2α), urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and plasma protein carbonyls (PCO) were measured. Generalized linear mixed models were used to evaluate the exposure-response relationships of urinary total arsenic with FPG and the prevalent risks of impaired fasting glucose (IFG), T2DM, and abnormal glucose regulation (AGR). Cox regression models were applied to assess the associations of arsenic exposure with incident risks of IFG, T2DM, and AGR. Mediation analyses were performed to assess the mediating effects of 8-iso-PGF2α, 8-OHdG, and PCO. In cross-sectional analyses, each one-unit increase in natural log-transformed urinary total arsenic was associated with a 0.082 (95% CI: 0.047 to 0.118) mmol/L increase in FPG, as well as a 10.3% (95% CI: 1.4%-20.0%), 4.4% (95% CI: 5.3%-15.2%), and 8.7% (95% CI: 1.2%-16.6%) increase in prevalent risks of IFG, T2DM, and AGR, respectively. In longitudinal analyses, arsenic exposure was further associated with the annual increased rate of FPG with a β (95% CI) of 0.021 (95% CI: 0.010 to 0.033). The incident risks of IFG, T2DM, and AGR were increased without statistical significance when arsenic levels increased. Mediation analyses showed that 8-iso-PGF2α and PCO mediated 30.04% and 10.02% of the urinary total arsenic-associated FPG elevation, respectively. Our study indicated that arsenic exposure was associated with elevated level and progression rate of FPG among general Chinese adults, where lipid peroxidation and oxidative protein damage might be the potential mechanisms.

Plasma microRNA expression profiles associated with zinc exposure and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Exploring potential role of miR-144-3p in zinc-induced insulin resistance. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2023; 172:107807. [PMID: 36773565 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2023.107807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Zinc exposure has been linked with disordered glucose metabolism and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) development. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We conducted population-based studies and in vitro experiments to explore potential role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in zinc-related hyperglycemia and T2DM. In the discovery stage, we identified plasma miRNAs expression profile for zinc exposure based on 87 community residents from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort through next-generation sequencing. MiRNAs profiling for T2DM was also performed among 9 pairs newly diagnosed T2DM-healthy controls. In the validating stage, plasma miRNA related to both of zinc exposure and T2DM among the discovery population was measured by qRT-PCR in 161 general individuals derived from the same cohort. Furthermore, zinc treated HepG2 cells with mimic or inhibitor were used to verify the regulating role of miR-144-3p. Based on the discovery and validating populations, we observed that miR-144-3p was positively associated with urinary zinc, hyperglycemia, and risk of T2DM. In vitro experiments confirmed that zinc-induced increase in miR-144-3p expression suppressed the target gene Nrf2 and downstream antioxidant enzymes, and aggravated insulin resistance. Our findings provided a novel clue for mechanism underlying zinc-induced glucose dysmetabolism and T2DM development, emphasizing the important role of miR-144-3p dysregulation.

Abstract
PM2.5 exposure leads to lung function alteration. The potential pathway underlying above association, especially the role of DNA methylation is unclear. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the associations of personal PM2.5 concentrations with DNA methylation at the epigenome-wide level, and investigate how PM2.5-related DNA methylation affects lung function. A total of 402 observations of non-smokers were selected from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. PM2.5 exposure was estimated through a model established in the same population. Blood DNA methylation levels were determined through Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChips. Lung function was tested through spirometry on the day of blood sampling. The associations of PM2.5 exposure with DNA methylation and DNA methylation with lung function were determined through linear mixed models. Ten PM2.5-related CpG sites (mapped to 7 different genes) were observed with false discovery rate <0.05. Methylation levels of cg24821877, cg24862131, cg23530876, cg11149743 and cg10781276 were positively associated with PM2.5 concentrations. While methylation levels of cg10314909, cg08968107, cg18362281, cg24663971 and cg17834632 were negatively associated with PM2.5 concentrations. The top CpG was cg24663971 (P = 1.51✕10-9). Among the above 10 sites, significantly positive associations of methylation levels of cg24663971 with FVC%pred and FEV1%pred, and cg10314909 with FVC, FVC%pred, and FEV1%pred were observed. Age had modification effect on the associations between cg24663971 methylation and FVC%pred, and the associations were more obvious among participants with age ≥58 years. In conclusion, PM2.5 exposure was associated with DNA methylation, and PM2.5-related DNA methylation was associated with lung function among Wuhan urban non-smokers.

We aimed to assess the associations of bifenthrin, a widely used pyrethroid, with glucose homeostasis and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to explore the underlying mechanism. Serum bifenthrin, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting plasma insulin (FPI), and plasma protein carbonyl (PCO) were determined among 3822 participants from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. Glucose homeostasis was evaluated by FPG, FPI, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and abnormal glucose regulation (AGR). The associations of serum bifenthrin with glucose homeostasis and risk of T2DM were assessed by generalized linear models and logistic regression models. The role of PCO in the above associations was evaluated by mediation analyses. After adjusting for covariates, each 2-fold increase in serum bifenthrin was associated with a 0.21 mmol/L increase in FPG and a 5.19%, 10.49%, and 12.18% increase in FPI, HOMA-IR, and PCO levels, respectively. Monotonically elevated ORs of IFG and AGR (all P and P for trend <0.05), but not T2DM (P > 0.05) were detected to be associated with increased bifenthrin. Compared with the participants with low bifenthrin and low PCO, participants with high bifenthrin exposure and high PCO showed a 0.40 mmol/L, 11.07%, and 22.50% increase in FPG, FPI, and HOMA-IR, as well as a 119.97% and 48.88% increase in risks of IFG and AGR, respectively (P for trend <0.05). Moreover, PCO mediated 13.61%-24.98% of the serum bifenthrin-associated glucose dyshomeostasis. The study suggested that bifenthrin exposure was dose-dependently associated with glucose dyshomeostasis in the general Chinese urban adults, and these associations were exacerbated and partly mediated by PCO. Given that other pollutants were not included in this study, the effect of co-exposure of pyrethroids with multiple pollutants is necessary to be considered in future studies.

Abstract
The link between zinc exposure and glucose metabolism or the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is controversial, and underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to explore the associations of zinc exposure with glucose-insulin homeostasis traits and the long-term effects of zinc on the development of T2D, and further to estimate the potential roles of inflammation and oxidative damage in such relationships. We investigated 3890 urban adults from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort, and followed up every three years. Mixed linear model was applied to estimate dose-response associations between urinary zinc and glycemia traits [fasting plasma insulin (FPI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, HOMA-IR), and β-cell dysfunction (homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function, HOMA-B)], as well as zinc and biomarkers for systemic inflammation (C-reactive protein) and oxidative damage (8-isoprostane and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine). Logistic regression model and Cox regression model were conducted to evaluate the relationships between urinary zinc and prevalence and incidence of T2D, respectively. We further performed mediation analysis to assess the roles of inflammation and oxidative damage biomarkers in above associations. At baseline, we observed significant dose-response relationships of elevated urinary zinc with increased FPI, FPG, HOMA-IR, and T2D prevalence and decreased HOMA-B, and such associations could be strengthened by increased C-reactive protein, 8-isoprostane, and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine. Elevated C-reactive protein significantly mediated 9.09% and 17.67% of the zinc-related FPG and HOMA-IR increments, respectively. In longitudinal analysis, a significantly positive association between urinary zinc and T2D incidence was observed among subjects with persistent high urinary zinc levels when compared with those with persistent low zinc levels. Our results suggested that high levels of zinc exposure adversely affected on glucose-insulin homeostasis and further contributed to increased risk of T2D cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Moreover, inflammatory response might play an important role in zinc-related glucose metabolic disorder.

Abstract
1-bromopropane is a US Environmental Protection Agency-identified significant hazardous air pollutant with concerned adverse respiratory effect. We aimed to investigate the relationship between 1-bromopropane exposure and pulmonary function and the underlying role of oxidative damage, which all remain unknown. Pulmonary function and urinary biomarkers of 1-bromopropane exposure (N-Acetyl-S-(n-propyl)-L-cysteine, BPMA) and oxidative damage to DNA (8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine, 8-OHdG) and lipid (8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α, 8-iso-PGF2α) were measured for 3259 Chinese urban adults from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. The cross-sectional relationship of BPMA with pulmonary function and the joint relationship of BPMA and 8-OHdG or 8-iso-PGF2α with pulmonary function were investigated by linear mixed models. The mediating roles of 8-OHdG and 8-iso-PGF2α were evaluated by mediation analysis. Additionally, a panel of 138 subjects was randomly convened from the same cohort to evaluate the stability of BPMA repeatedly measured in urine samples collected over consecutive three days and intervals of one, two, and three years, and to estimate the longitudinal relationship of BPMA with pulmonary function change in three years. We found each 3-fold increase in BPMA was cross-sectionally related to FVC and FEV1 reductions by 29.88-mL and 25.67-mL, respectively (all P < 0.05). Joint relationship of BPMA and 8-OHdG rather than 8-iso-PGF2α with reduced pulmonary function was observed. Moreover, 8-OHdG significantly mediated 9.44% of the BPMA-related FVC reduction. Findings from the panel revealed a fair to excellent stability (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.43-0.79) of BPMA in repeated urines collected over a period of three years. Besides, BPMA was longitudinally related to pulmonary function reduction in three years: compared with subjects with persistently low BPMA level, those with persistently high BPMA level had 79.08-mL/year and 49.80-mL/year declines in FVC and FEV1, respectively (all P < 0.05). Conclusively, 1-bromopropane exposure might impair pulmonary function of urban adult population, and oxidative DNA damage might be a potential mechanism underlying 1-bromopropane impairing pulmonary function especially FVC.

[PMID: 35839886 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.157327] [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: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of long-term PM2.5 exposure on lung function has not been well established. OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of long-term personal PM2.5 exposure on lung function decline, obstructive, and restrictive ventilatory disorders. METHOD Personal PM2.5 concentrations were evaluated using an estimation model. Lung function parameters including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were measured in 3053 Wuhan participants from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort and were repeated every 3 years. Participants were classified into persistently high exposure group, persistently low exposure group and inconsistent exposure group according to the median of PM2.5 concentration of each visit. Mixed linear models with subject-specific random intercept were used to assess the association of 3-year change of lung function with personal PM2.5 exposure, and generalized linear models were used to assess the association of 6-year change of lung function with personal PM2.5 exposure. Cox regression models were applied to assess the associations of PM2.5 with obstructive and restrictive ventilatory disorders. RESULTS The medians of personal PM2.5 concentrations at baseline and two follow-ups were 153.18, 209.57 and 83.78 μg/m3, respectively. Compared with participants in the persistently low exposure group, participants in the persistently high exposure group showed a 2.99 % (95 % CI: 0.91, 5.08), a 380.15 mL/s (95 % CI: 32.82, 727.48) and a 5.98 % (95 % CI: 0.84, 11.11) additional decline in FEV1/FVC, PEF and PEFpred after 6 years, respectively. Stratified analyses showed that age, gender, body mass index, smoking status and drinking status had no significant modification effect on the associations. The associations of PM2.5 exposure with obstructive and restrictive ventilatory disorders were not significant, except for a positive association between persistently high PM2.5 exposure and restrictive ventilatory disorder among ever drinkers. CONCLUSION Long-term high PM2.5 exposure was associated with FEV1/FVC, PEF and PEFpred declines.

Abstract
Styrene and ethylbenzene (S/EB) are the monomers of polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene (PE), respectively, and have been identified as significant hazardous air pollutants by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. However, the adverse effects of S/EB on human health, especially cardiovascular health, have not been well established. Urinary biomarker of S/EB exposure and heart rate variability (HRV) were measured in urban adults from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort and were repeated after 3-year and 6-year follow-ups. Linear mixed models were used to estimate associations of S/EB exposure biomarker with HRV and longitudinal additional annual change of HRV. The mediating role of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 was tested by using mediation analysis. A total of 2842 general adults were included at baseline analysis, and 4748 observations were included in the repeated measurement study. In the cross-sectional analysis, each 1% increment in urinary S/EB exposure biomarker was significantly associated with a 0.106 % (95 % CI: -0.160, -0.052), 0.109 % (-0.169, -0.049), 0.099 % (-0.145, -0.053), 0.040 % (-0.060, -0.020), and 0.031 % (-0.054, -0.007) decrement in low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), total power (TP), standard deviation of all normal-to-normal intervals (SDNN), and square root of the mean squared difference between adjacent normal-to-normal interval, respectively. Smoking status modified the relationships of urinary S/EB exposure biomarker with TP and SDNN. TGF-β1 mediated 3.09-5.16 % of the association between urinary S/EB biomarker and lower HRV. The follow-up analyses detected a negative association between urinary S/EB exposure biomarker and the additional annual change of LF (β: -0.016; 95 % CI: -0.028, -0.004), HF (-0.014; -0.026, -0.001), and TP (-0.011; -0.021, -0.001). Our findings demonstrated that S/EB exposure was associated with HRV reduction among the general urban adults and the TGF-β pathway may play a part of the mediating role in this association.

Abstract
The topic of cardiovascular hazards from multiple metal (loid)s exposures has attracted widespread attention. Here, we measured concentrations of twenty-three urinary metal (loid)s and mean platelet volume (MPV), an early cardiovascular damage biomarker, for 3396 Chinese adults. We aimed to comprehensively assess the associations of single metal (loid) and multiple metal (loid)s (as a mixture) with MPV by combined use of five statistical methods, including general linear models, Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR), weight quartile sum (WQS) regression, quantile g-computation (QGC), and adaptive elastic network regression (AENR). And based on that, we hope to provide insight into assessing the health effect of multipollutant exposure. After adjustment for potential covariates, at least three methods jointly suggested that of twenty-three metal (loid)s, iron, arsenic, and antimony were positively while aluminum, tungsten, and thallium were inversely associated with MPV. The environmental risk score of metal (loid)s construed by AENR was significantly positively associated with MPV, while the association between overall twenty-three metal (loid)s mixture and MPV was neutralized to be insignificant in QGC and BKMR. Conclusively, single metal (loid) may be inversely (iron, arsenic, and antimony) and positively (aluminum, tungsten, and thallium) associated with early cardiovascular damage, while the association of overall twenty-three metal (loid)s mixture with MPV was insignificant when concurrent exposures exist. It is crucial to select appropriate statistical methods based on study purpose and principles/characteristics of statistical methods, and combined employment of multimethod is insightfully suggested when assessing health effects of multipollutant exposure.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 844:157028. [PMID: 35777566 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.157028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2022] [Revised: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 06/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
To investigate the associations of arsenic exposure with lung function and ventilatory impairment. The repeated-measures study was developed with 8479 observations from three study periods of the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. Urinary arsenic and lung function were measured during each period. Linear mixed models were used to estimate the cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between urinary arsenic and lung function. Logistic regression models and COX regression models were used to evaluate the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between urinary arsenic and ventilatory impairment, respectively. In the cross-sectional analysis, each 1-unit increase in log-transformed urinary arsenic was associated with a -22.499 mL (95 % confidence interval (CI): -35.832 to -9.165), -15.081 mL (-25.205 to -4.957), and -0.274 % (-0.541 to -0.007) change in forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), and FEV1/FVC, respectively. In the longitudinal analysis, each 1-unit increase in log-transformed urinary arsenic was associated with an annual change rate of -6.240 mL/year (95 % CI: -12.429 to -0.051), -5.855 mL/year (-10.632 to -1.079), and -0.143 %/year (-0.234 to -0.051) in FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC, respectively. Stratified analyses suggested a modification role of gender on the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between urinary arsenic and FEV1, with the stronger associations were found among males (P for modification 0.0384 and 0.0168). Furtherly, each 1-unit increase in log-transformed urinary arsenic was associated with a 14.8 % (odds ratio 1.148, 95 % CI: 1.043 to 1.263) and 11.7 % (hazard ratio 1.117, 95 % CI: 1.023 to 1.218) increase in the prevalent and incident risk of restrictive ventilatory impairment, respectively. Source analyses suggested that fish intake and fine particulate matter inhalation positively associated with the total arsenic levels. In conclusion, arsenic exposure was associated with lung function decline and the risk of restrictive ventilatory impairment.

Abstract
As a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, environmental exposure to phenanthrene is widespread worldwide. The potential effects and mechanism of phenanthrene exposure on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) have not been well determined. In this study, we aim to explore the effects of phenanthrene exposure and AMER3 variants on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) through a longitudinal epidemiological study. Repeated measurements of five urinary hydroxyphenanthrene (OHPh) for 5739 participants with 7083 observations from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort were performed to analyze the relationships between total OHPh (ΣOHPh) and FPG using linear mixed models and restricted cubic spline functions. Then, we genotyped 2777 participants (4104 observations) using the Infinium OmniZhongHua-8 BeadChip and included all 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the AMER3 gene to analyze the interaction of the AMER3 on the relationship between ΣOHPh and FPG. We observed a U-shaped relationship between ΣOHPh and FPG, and the turning point of ΣOHPh was 2.512 μg/mmol Cr. When lower than the turning point, ΣOHPh was negatively associated with FPG, while higher than the turning point, ΣOHPh was positively associated with FPG. Furthermore, we observed interactions (Pint <0.05) between two common variants (rs72854995 and rs72854999) of the AMER3 and ΣOHPh on FPG change: the U-shaped relationship was still observed in the GG genotype groups but not in the allele A carriers. Our results suggested that the AMER3 gene can modify the U-shaped relationship between phenanthrenes exposure and FPG, which showed a new gene-environment interaction and will provide a new perspective on the relationship between phenanthrene exposure and FPG.

Associations of polychlorinated biphenyls exposure with plasma glucose and diabetes in general Chinese population: The mediating effect of lipid peroxidation. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 308:119660. [PMID: 35738522 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.119660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 06/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) exposure has been related to the abnormal glucose metabolism and the risk of diabetes. However, the joint effects of various PCBs are uncertain and the potential mechanisms remain unclear. Our objectives were to evaluate the associations of serum PCBs with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and the risk of diabetes among a general Chinese population, and to estimate the mediating effects of oxidative stress in the above associations. Serum levels of seven indicator-PCBs (PCB-28, 52, 101, 118, 138, 153, and 180) and FPG values were determined among 4498 subjects from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. Oxidative DNA damage biomarker (urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, 8-OHdG) and lipid peroxidation biomarker (urinary 8-isoprostane, 8-iso-PGF2α) were also measured. Positive relationships of serum PCBs with FPG values as well as the risk of diabetes were observed. With each 1% increment in the natural log-transformed values of wet weight serum PCBs, FPG levels increased a 0.125% for PCB-52, 0.168% for PCB-118, 0.221% for PCB-138, 0.273% for PCB-153, and 0.379% for ΣPCB (the sum of seven PCBs). The adjusted odds ratios of diabetes associated with wet weight PCBs were 1.186 for PCB-52, 1.373 for PCB-118, 1.635 for PCB-153, and 1.456 for ΣPCB. The seven serum PCBs showed positive overall effect on the risk of diabetes. Elevated PCB-28, PCB-52, PCB-118, PCB-138, PCB-153, and ΣPCB were associated with the increased urinary 8-iso-PGF2α, which was positively related with FPG values. Furthermore, urinary 8-iso-PGF2α partially mediated the positive associations between PCBs and FPG values, with the mediated proportions ranged from 3.20 to 12.93%. In conclusion, our results suggested that serum PCBs were positively related with increased oxidative stress, FPG values, and the risk of diabetes among a general Chinese population. Serum PCBs mixture had positive overall effect on the risk of diabetes. Lipid peroxidation partly mediated the FPG elevation induced by PCB exposure.

Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of acrolein exposure with pulmonary function alteration: Assessing the potential roles of oxidative DNA damage, inflammation, and pulmonary epithelium injury in a general adult population. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2022; 167:107401. [PMID: 35850081 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2022.107401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2022] [Revised: 06/13/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acrolein is a significant high priority hazardous air pollutant with pulmonary toxicity and the leading cause of most noncancer adverse respiratory effects among air toxics that draws great attention. Whether and how acrolein exposure impacts pulmonary function remain inconclusive. OBJECTIVES To assess the association of acrolein exposure with pulmonary function and the underlying roles of oxidative DNA damage, inflammation, and pulmonary epithelium integrity. METHODS Among 3,279 Chinese adults from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort, associations of urinary acrolein metabolites (N-Acetyl-S-(2-carboxyethyl)-L-cysteine, CEMA; N-Acetyl-S-(3-hydroxypropyl)-L-cysteine, 3HPMA) as credible biomarkers of acrolein exposure with pulmonary function were analyzed by linear mixed models. Joint effects of biomarkers of oxidative DNA damage (8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine), inflammation (C-reactive protein, CRP), and pulmonary epithelium integrity (Club cell secretory protein, CC16) with acrolein metabolites on pulmonary function and the mediating roles of these biomarkers were assessed. Besides, a subgroup (N = 138) was randomly recruited from the cohort to assess the stabilities of acrolein metabolites and their longitudinal associations with pulmonary function change in three years. RESULTS Significant inverse dose-response relationships between acrolein metabolites and pulmonary function were found. Each 10-fold increment in CEMA, 3HPMA, or ΣUACLM (CEMA + 3HPMA) was cross-sectionally related to a 68.56-, 40.98-, or 46.02-ml reduction in FVC and a 61.54-, 43.10-, or 50.14-ml reduction in FEV1, respectively (P < 0.05). Furthermore, acrolein metabolites with fair to excellent stabilities were found to be longitudinally associated with pulmonary function decline in three years. Joint effects of acrolein metabolites with 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine, CRP, and CC16 on pulmonary function were identified. CRP significantly mediated 5.97% and 5.51% of CEMA-associated FVC and FEV1 reductions, respectively. 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine significantly mediated 6.78%, 6.88%, and 7.61% of CEMA-, 3HPMA-, and ΣUACLM-associated FVC reductions, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Acrolein exposure of general adults was cross-sectionally and longitudinally related to pulmonary function decline, which was aggravated and/or partly mediated by oxidative DNA damage, inflammation, and pulmonary epithelium injury.

Acrylamide exposure increases cardiovascular risk of general adult population probably by inducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and TGF-β1: A prospective cohort study. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2022; 164:107261. [PMID: 35486963 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2022.107261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2022] [Revised: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Acrylamide (ACR) exposure and consequent health hazards are alarming public health issues that attract worldwide concern. The World Health Organization urges more researches into health hazards from ACR exposure. However, whether and how ACR exposure increases cardiovascular risk remain unclear, and we sought to address these issues in this prospective cohort study conducted on 3024 general adults with 3-year follow-up (N = 871 at follow-up). Individual urinary ACR metabolites (N-Acetyl-S-(2-carbamoylethyl)-L-cysteine [AAMA] and N-Acetyl-S-(2-carbamoyl-2-hydroxyethyl)-L-cysteine [GAMA]) as credible biomarkers of ACR exposure were detected to assess their cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships with 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, a well measure of overall cardiovascular risk. Besides, biomarkers of oxidative stress (urinary 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine [8-OHdG] and 8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α [8-iso-PGF2α]) and inflammation (circulating mean platelet volume [MPV] and plasma C-reactive protein [CRP]) as well as plasma transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were measured to assess their mediating/mechanistic roles in the relationships of ACR metabolites with 10-year CVD risk. We found AAMA, GAMA, and ΣUAAM (AAMA + GAMA) were cross-sectionally and longitudinally related to increased 10-year CVD risk with odds ratios (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) of 1.32 (1.04, 1.70), 1.81 (1.36, 2.40), and 1.40 (1.07, 1.82), respectively, and risk ratios (95% CIs) of 1.99 (1.10, 3.60), 2.48 (1.27, 4.86), and 2.13 (1.15, 3.94), respectively. Furthermore, 8-OHdG, 8-iso-PGF2α, MPV, CRP, and TGF-β1 were found to significantly mediate 8.06-48.92% of the ACR metabolites-associated 10-year CVD risk increment. In summary, daily ACR exposure of general adults was cross-sectionally and longitudinally associated with increased cardiovascular risk, which was partly mediated by oxidative stress, inflammation, and TGF-β1, suggesting for the first time that ACR exposure may well increase cardiovascular risk of general adult population partly by mechanisms of inducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and TGF-β1. Our findings have important public health implications that provide potent epidemiological evidence and vital mechanistic insight into cardiovascular risk increment from ACR exposure.

Longitudinal relationships of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exposure and genetic susceptibility with blood lipid profiles. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2022; 164:107259. [PMID: 35500530 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2022.107259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2021] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aim to analyze the effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure and genetic predisposition on blood lipid through a longitudinal epidemiological study. METHODS We enrolled 4,356 observations who participated at baseline (n = 2,435) and 6-year follow-up (n = 1,921) from Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. Ten urinary PAHs metabolites and blood lipid (i.e., total cholesterol [TC], triglycerides [TG], low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C], and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C]) were measured at both baseline and follow-up. The polygenic risk scores (PRS) of blood lipid were constructed by the corresponding genome-wide association studies. Linear mixed models were fit to identify associations between urinary PAHs metabolites, blood lipid, and lipid-PRSs in the repeated-measure analysis. Besides, longitudinal relationships of blood lipid with urinary PAHs metabolites and respective lipid-PRSs were examined by using linear regression models. RESULTS Compared with subjects who had persistently low urinary total hydroxyphenanthrene (ΣOHPh), those with persistently high levels had an average increase of 0.137 mmol/l for TC and 0.129 mmol/l for LDL-C over 6 years. Each 1-unit increase of TC-, TG-, LDL-C-, and HDL-C-specific PRS were associated with an average increase of 0.438 mmol/l for TC, 0.264 mmol/l for TG, 0.198 mmol/l for LDL-C, and 0.043 mmol/l for HDL-C over 6 years, respectively. Compared with subjects who had low genetic risk and persistently low ΣOHPh, subjects with high LDL-specific PRS and persistently high ΣOHPh had an average increase of 0.652 mmol/l for LDL-C. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that high-level ΣOHPh exposure is associated with an average increase of LDL-C over 6 years, and those relationships can be aggravated by a higher LDL-C-genetic risk. No significant relationships were observed between other PAHs metabolites (including hydroxynaphthalene, hydroxyfluorene, and hydroxypyrene) and blood lipid changes over 6 years. Our findings emphasize the importance of preventing PAHs exposure, particularly among those with a higher genetic predisposition of hyperlipidemia.

Longitudinal relationships between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exposure and heart rate variability: Exploring the role of transforming growth factor-β in a general Chinese population. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 425:127770. [PMID: 34823955 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.127770] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2021] [Revised: 10/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
We aim to investigate the long-term adverse effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure on heart rate variability (HRV) reduction, and to assess the potential role of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in such relationship. We enrolled 2985 adult residents with 4100 observations who participated at baseline and 6-years follow-up from Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. Ten detectable urinary PAHs metabolites and two HRV indices were repeatedly measured at baseline and follow-up; and plasma TGF-β1 levels were also determined for all subjects. We observed that both total urinary low molecular weight PAHs (ΣLWM OH-PAH) and total urinary high molecular weight PAHs (ΣHWM OH-PAH) were negatively associated with HRV reductions (P < 0.05). Subjects with persistent high levels of ΣHWM OH-PAH had a significant reduction in HRV over 6 years, and the incensement of TGF-β1 could aggravate above adverse effects in a dose-response manner. All kinds of PAHs were positively associated with plasma TGF-β1 elevation, which in turn, were negatively related to HRV indices. Increased TGF-β1 significant mediated 1.34-3.62% of PAHs-associated HRV reduction. Our findings demonstrated that long-term high levels of PAHs exposure could cause HRV reductions, and TGF-β1 may play an essential role in such association.

Abstract
In view of the sex differences in aging‐related diseases, sex chromosomes may play a critical role during aging process. This study aimed to identify age‐related DNA methylation changes on Y chromosome (ChrY). A two‐stage study design was conducted in this study. The discovery stage contained 419 Chinese males, including 205 from the Wuhan‐Zhuhai cohort panel, 107 from the coke oven workers panel, and 107 from the Shiyan panel. The validation stage contained 587 Chinese males from the Dongfeng‐Tongji sub‐cohort. We used the Illumina HumanMethylation BeadChip to determine genome‐wide DNA methylation in peripheral blood of the study participants. The associations between age and methylation levels of ChrY CpGs were investigated by using linear regression models with adjustment for potential confounders. Further, associations of age‐related ChrY CpGs with all‐cause mortality were tested in the validation stage. We identified the significant associations of 41 ChrY CpGs with age at false discovery rate (FDR) <0.05 in the discovery stage, and 18 of them were validated in the validation stage (p < 0.05). Meta‐analysis of both stages confirmed the robust positive associations of 14 CpGs and negative associations of 4 CpGs with age (FDR<0.05). Among them, cg03441493 and cg17816615 were significantly associated with all‐cause mortality risk [HR(95% CI) = 1.37 (1.04, 1.79) and 0.70 (0.54, 0.93), respectively]. Our results highlighted the importance of ChrY CpGs on male aging.

Abstract
Our aim was to clarify the main factors associated with lung function and to analyze the correlation between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and lung function in a rural Chinese population. We analyzed data of 5195 participants in the China Northwest Natural Population Cohort: Ningxia Project who were ≥ 30 years old. They were recruited from 2018 to 2019, underwent spirometry during the physical examination, and completed a self-report questionnaire. A satellite-based spatiotemporal model was used to estimate the 2-year average PM2.5 exposure based on participants' home addresses. A generalized linear mixed model was used to test the relationship between PM2.5 concentration and lung function. Sex, age, exposure to cooking oil fumes, and occupational exposure were negatively correlated (P < 0.05) with forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1). Educational status, economic level, tea consumption, and alcohol consumption were positively correlated (P < 0.05) with FVC and FEV1. The adjusted results of each model revealed that FVC and FEV1 decreased with increased exposure to PM2.5. There was a strong negative correlation between a PM2.5 concentration of 35.66 μg/m3 and FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC, with unadjusted hazard ratios of - 0.06 (95% confidence interval, - 0.10 to - 0.01), - 0.13 (- 0.17 to - 0.10), and - 22.10 (- 24.62 to - 19.26), respectively. In conclusion, long-term exposure to high concentrations of ambient PM2.5 is related to reduce lung function among people in rural areas in northwestern China.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate whether alcohol intake contributes to lung function levels and which beverage type may have an effect. We investigated 3742 participants from the Wuhai-Zhuhai Cohort and 12,526 participants from the Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort, and they were followed up for 3 and 5 years, respectively. Information on the type and daily amount of alcohol intake was collected through face-to-face interviews. Lung function was measured by trained physicians using electronic spirometers. Compared with nondrinkers, moderate alcohol intake was significantly associated with a 70.03 and 74.92 mL increase in FEV1 and FVC, respectively (P < 0.05), after adjusting for covariates. With regard to beverage type, red wine was associated with a 105.31 and 98.91 mL increase in FEV1 and FVC, respectively (P < 0.05). Moderate alcohol intake was also associated with a 53.37 and 66.17 mL increase in FEV1 and FVC for liquor, respectively, and a 106.90 and 103.62 mL increase for red wine (all Ps < 0.05). In the longitudinal analyses, moderate alcohol intake and red wine were associated with a 67.77 and 103.77 mL increase in FVC, respectively (P < 0.05). Moderate alcohol intake is associated with increased lung function, especially for red wine. Further studies are needed to investigate the potential mechanism.

Abstract
Decreased lung function is an early hazard of respiratory damage from fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure. Limited studies have explored the association between PM2.5-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and lung function, but studies at the personal level in healthy young adults are scarce. Here, we assessed personal PM2.5 and PM2.5-bound PAH levels in a panel of 45 healthy young adults by a time-weighted model. The aims were to investigate the relationship between personal exposure and lung function by a linear mixed effect model, and to explore the mediating effects of oxidative stress in this association. The results showed that personal exposure to PM2.5 and PAHs had the greatest negative effect on forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), peak expiratory flow rate (PEF) and forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% vital capacity (FEF25-75) at lag 3 days. An IQR increase in personal PM2.5 exposure was associated with a change of 0.35% (95% CI: 0.27%, 0.42%) in FEV1, 0.39% (95% CI: 0.29%, 0.47%) in PEF and 0.36% (95% CI: 0.27%, 0.45%) in FEF25-75. An IQR increase in personal PAH exposure was associated with a decrease of 0.63% (95% CI: 0.55%, 0.69%) in FEV1, 0.69% (95% CI: 0.61%, 0.75%) in PEF and 0.66% (95% CI: 0.57%, 0.72%) in FEF25-75. Additionally, exposure to PM2.5 and PAHs resulted in the strongest positive effects on urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and 8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α (8-iso-PGF2α). Of these, 8-OHdG mediated 10.33%, 8.87% and 9.45% of the associations of personal PM2.5 exposure with FEV1, PEF and FEF25-75, respectively. Our results revealed that personal exposure to PM2.5 and PAHs was associated with lung function decline in healthy young adults, and urinary 8-OHdG mediated the association between personal PM2.5 and lung function.

Associations of propylene oxide exposure with fasting plasma glucose and diabetes: Roles of oxidative DNA damage and lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
Whether propylene oxide (PO) exposure is associated with hyperglycemia were rarely explored. We aimed to determine the relationship between PO exposure and glucose metabolism, and potential role of oxidative stress. Among 3294 Chinese urban adults, urinary PO metabolite (N-Acetyl-S-(2-hydroxypropyl)-L-cysteine, 2HPMA), biomarkers of oxidative DNA damage (8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-20-deoxyguanosine, 8-OHdG) and lipid peroxidation (8-isoprostane, 8-iso-PGF2α) in urine were determined. The associations of 2HPMA with 8-OHdG, 8-iso-PGF2α, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and risk of diabetes were explored. The roles of 8-OHdG and 8-iso-PGF2α on association of 2HPMA with FPG and risk of diabetes were detected. After adjusted for potential confounders, each 1-unit increase in log-transformed concentration of 2HPMA was associated with a 0.15-mmol/L increase in FPG level, and the adjusted OR (95% CI) of diabetes by the associations of log-transformed urinary 2HPMA concentrations was 1.47 (95% CI: 1.03-2.11). Combination effects of 2HPMA with 8-OHdG or 8-iso-PGF2α on risk of diabetes were detected, and elevated 8-iso-PGF2α significantly mediated 34.5% of the urinary 2HPMA-associated FPG elevation. PO exposure was positively associated with FPG levels and risk of diabetes. PO exposure combined with DNA oxidative damage or lipid peroxidation may increase the risk of diabetes, and lipid peroxidation may partially mediate the PO exposure-induced FPG elevation.

Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, DNA methylation and heart rate variability among non-current smokers. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2021; 288:117777. [PMID: 34265559 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.117777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2021] [Revised: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 07/09/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure is associated with heart rate variability (HRV) reduction, a widely used marker of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction. The role of DNA methylation in the relationship between PAHs exposure and decreased HRV is largely unknown. This study aims to explore epigenome-wide DNA methylation changes associated with PAHs exposure and further evaluate their associations with HRV alternations among non-current smokers. We measured 10 mono-hydroxylated PAHs (OH-PAHs) in urine and DNA methylation levels in blood leukocytes among participants from three panels of Chinese non-current smokers (152 in WHZH, 99 in SY, and 53 in COW). We conducted linear regression analyses between DNA methylation and OH-PAHs metabolites with adjustment for age, gender, body mass index, drinking, blood cell counts, and surrogate variables in each panel separately, and combined the results by using inverse-variance weighted fixed-effect meta-analysis to obtain estimates of effect size. The median value of total OH-PAHs ranged from 0.92 × 10-2 in SY panel (62.6% men) to 13.82 × 10-2 μmol/mmol creatinine in COW panel (43.4% men). The results showed that methylation levels of cg18223625 (COL20A1) and cg07805771 (SLC16A1) were significantly or marginally significantly associated with urinary 2-hydroxynaphthalene [β(SE) = 0.431(0.074) and 0.354(0.068), FDR = 0.016 and 0.056, respectively], while methylation level of cg09235308 (PLEC1) was positively associated with urinary total OH-PAHs [β(SE) = 0.478(0.079), FDR = 0.004]. Hypermethylations of cg18223625, cg07805771, and cg09235308 were inversely associated with HRV indices among the WHZH and COW non-current smokers. However, we did not observe significant epigenome-wide associations for the other 9 urinary OH-PAHs. These findings provide new evidence that PAHs exposure is linked to differential DNA methylation, which may help better understand the influences of PAHs exposure on HRV alternations.

Systemic inflammation mediates the association of heavy metal exposures with liver injury: A study in general Chinese urban adults. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 419:126497. [PMID: 34323735 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.126497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2021] [Revised: 05/31/2021] [Accepted: 06/17/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Heavy metal exposures have been reported to be associated with increased risk for liver injury. However, the potential mechanisms of the association remain unclear. A repeated-measure study of 9367 observations was conducted to quantify the associations of urinary heavy metals with serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), a biomarker for liver injury, and assess the mediating role of systemic inflammation in such associations among general Chinese adults. In single-metal models, positive dose-response relationships between urinary vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), tungsten (W), and lead (Pb) and serum ALT were observed. In the multiple-metal model containing the seven metals mentioned above, V and Cu remained positively associated with ALT. In longitudinal analyses of 3-6 years, each 1-unit increase in log-transformed levels of V and Cu was associated with an additional rate of annual ALT increase (95% CI) for 1.3% (0.7-1.8%) and 1.3% (0.7-2.0%), respectively. Plasma CRP concentrations were not only positively associated with urinary Cu and Cd, but also positively related with ALT. Furthermore, mediation analyses showed that CRP mediated 4.70% and 7.03% of urinary Cu- and Cd-associated ALT elevations. Our study provides clues for the prevention of heavy metal-induced liver injury.

Acrylamide exposure and pulmonary function reduction in general population: The mediating effect of systemic inflammation. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 778:146304.

Abstract
Acrylamide exposure along with resultant potential adverse health effects have attracted global concern, and the World Health Organization calls for more and urgent studies on the health risks from acrylamide. However, the association and mechanism between acrylamide exposure and pulmonary dysfunction remain unclear. Our goals were to investigate the relationship of internal acrylamide exposure with lung function reduction, and the potential mediating role of systematic inflammation in that relationship. Our study was conducted within the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. Urinary biomarkers of acrylamide exposure (N-acetyl-S-(2-carbamoylethyl)-l-cysteine, AAMA; N-acetyl-S-(2-carbamoyl-2-hydroxyethyl)-l-cysteine, GAMA) and lung function were determined among 3271 general adults, of whom 2595 had test results of systemic inflammatory marker plasma C-reactive protein (CRP). We employed linear mixed models to assess the relations among urinary acrylamide metabolites, pulmonary function and plasma CRP, and PRODCLIN program to evaluate the mediating role of CRP. We observed that urinary acrylamide metabolites were inversely and dose-dependently related to lung function (P trend<0.05). Each 1-unit increment in log-transformed level of AAMA, GAMA, or AAMA+GAMA (ΣUAAM) was significantly (P < 0.05) related to a 59.9-, 64.2-, or 64.3-mL reduction in FVC, and a 53.9-, 59.7-, or 58.5-mL reduction in FEV1, respectively. Such relationships were independent of smoking, and were significant in physically inactive rather than physically active participants. AAMA (β = 0.10), GAMA (β = 0.16) and ΣUAAM (β = 0.12) were significantly (P < 0.05) related to increased CRP, which was significantly (P < 0.05) related to reduced FVC (β = -55.3) and FEV1 (β = -40.6). We further found that increased CRP significantly (P < 0.05) mediated 6.34-11.1% of the urinary acrylamide metabolites-associated lung function reductions. For the first time, our findings suggested that exposure to acrylamide in daily life was related to reduced lung function and increased systemic inflammation in general population, and systemic inflammation further mediated acrylamide-associated lung function reduction, indicating a potential mechanistic role of systemic inflammation underlying pulmonary dysfunction from acrylamide exposure.

Abstract
Atmospheric PM2.5-bound metals have been widely addressed, but research on the exposure levels and sources of personal PM2.5-bound metals among urban community residents is limited. The aim of this study is to explore the exposure levels and sources of 24-h personal PM2.5-bound metals among community inhabitants in Wuhan, China. We conducted a penal study of 216 observations with measurements of 16 metals bounded to 24-h personal PM2.5 samples in April-May, 2014, 2017. Analyses of covariance were used to compare PM2.5-bound metal levels across different living habits and ambient conditions. Principal component analysis (PCA) with varimax rotation was performed to explore PM2.5-bound metal sources. Personal PM2.5-bound aluminum (Al) (113.41 ng/m3) showed the highest geometric mean (GM) concentration, followed by lead (Pb) (90.89 ng/m3), zinc (Zn) (67.71 ng/m3), and iron (Fe) (51.85 ng/m3). The elevated levels of PM2.5-bound Al, vanadium (V), manganese (Mn), arsenic (As), rubidium (Rb), cadmium (Cd), and thallium (Tl) were found in participants with cigarette smoke exposure, compared with those without. The concentrations of Rb and strontium (Sr) were positively associated with the time spent outdoors. The increased concentration of nickel (Ni) was found in individuals who spent > 30 min/day in traffic. The elevated levels of V, Mn, and cobalt (Co) were associated with a short distance from dwellings to the main road. The results of PCA showed that PM2.5-bound metals might come from five sources: As, selenium (Se), Rb, Cd, Tl, and Pb from cigarette smoke exposure; Al, V, Mn, Fe, and Sr from crustal dust; copper (Cu) and antimony (Sb) from industrial activities; Ni and Co from traffic emission; and Zn from coal combustion. The concentrations of PM2.5-bound metals in this study were at moderate levels. Cigarette smoke exposure, industrial activities, traffic emission, and coal combustion might be major anthropogenic sources of personal PM2.5-bound metal exposures in Wuhan, China.

The association between urinary aluminum and lung function among an urban adult population: A repeated-measure longitudinal study. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 270:129443. [PMID: 33401068 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.129443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2020] [Revised: 12/07/2020] [Accepted: 12/22/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between aluminum exposure and lung function and the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS The repeated-measure study was developed with 3917 adults from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort and they were followed-up after 3 years and 6 years. Urinary aluminum and lung function were measured at each period. Linear mixed models were used to estimate the exposure-response relationship between urinary aluminum and lung function. COX regression models were used to evaluate the association of urinary aluminum with the risk of COPD. RESULTS A total of 6996 observations including 2251 (32.2%) males with a mean age of 54.8 years were included. In the cross-sectional analyses, each 1-unit increase in log-transformed urinary aluminum was associated with a -33.34 mL (95% confidence interval (CI) -45.71 to -20.96) change in forced vital capacity (FVC) and a -17.89 mL (-27.80 to -7.97) change in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1). The follow-up analyses detected a negative association between urinary aluminum and the annual change of FVC (-6.73 mL/year, 95% CI -10.92 to -2.54), while the association of annual decline of FEV1 with urinary aluminum was statistically insignificant (-2.26 mL/year, -5.76 to 1.23). In the adjusted COX regression model, each 1-unit increase in log-transformed urinary aluminum was associated with a 29% increase in the incident risk of COPD (hazard ratio 1.29, 95% CI 1.04-1.62). INCLUSION Increased urinary aluminum was associated with lung function reduction and the increased risk of COPD in a general urban population.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) exposure has become a growing public health issue and the level of urinary Cd is commonly used as the internal biomarker of overall Cd exposure. There has been raised a concern whether the level of Cd in a single spot urine actually reflects individual internal exposure over a long-term period. We aimed to examine the variability of urinary Cd levels over three years. Levels of urinary Cd were determined repeatedly in 2238 general adults during a follow-up of three-year from a community-based prospective study. We estimated the intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) of urinary Cd level over three years using the three-level random-effects mixed models to assess their variations. We found that the Pearson correlations for urinary Cd over three years were 0.521 for uncorrected Cd, 0.632 for creatinine (Cr)-corrected Cd, and 0.551 for specific gravity (SG)-corrected Cd, respectively (all P < 0.001). Moderate reproducibility was obtained for urinary Cd over three years, where ICCs of the three methods all exceeded 0.50. Of note, Cr-corrected urinary Cd levels achieved high reproducibility [0.773, 95%CI (0.750-0.794)]. Additionally, positive dose-response associations of smoking amount with Cr-corrected urinary Cd level were observed (P trend <0.05). Our findings suggest that Cr-corrected urinary Cd level in a single measurement was a credible biomarker for the relatively long-term levels of urinary Cd in the general population and cigarette smoking plays a part of urinary Cd exposure.

Associations of urinary carbon disulfide metabolite with oxidative stress, plasma glucose and risk of diabetes among urban adults in China. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2021; 272:115959. [PMID: 33250290 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.115959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2020] [Revised: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 10/28/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Carbon disulfide (CS2) has been reported to induce disorder of glucose metabolism. However, the associations of CS2 exposure with plasma glucose levels and risk of diabetes have not been explored in general population, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We aim to examine the relationships between CS2 exposure and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels, as well as diabetes, and assess the potential role of oxidative stress among the abovementioned relationships in Chinese general adults. The concentrations of urinary biomarkers of CS2 exposure (2-thiothiazolidin-4-carboxylic acid, TTCA), and biomarkers for lipid peroxidation (8-isoprostane, 8-iso-PGF2α) and DNA oxidative damage (8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-20-deoxyguanosine, 8-OHdG) were measured among 3338 urban adults from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. Additionally, FPG levels were tested promptly. Generalized linear models and logistic regression models were used to quantify the associations among urinary TTCA, oxidative damage markers, FPG levels and diabetes risk. Mediation analysis was employed to estimate the role of oxidative damage markers in the association between urinary TTCA and FPG levels. We discovered a significant relationship between urinary TTCA and FPG levels with regression coefficient of 0.080 (95% CI: 0.002,0.157). Besides, the risk of diabetes was positively related to urinary TTCA (OR:1.282, 95% CI: 1.055,1.558), particularly among those who did not exercise regularly. Each 1% increase of urinary TTCA concentration was associated with a 0.096% and 0.037% increase in urinary 8-iso-PGF2α and 8-OHdG, respectively. Moreover, we found an upward trend of FPG level as urinary 8-iso-PGF2α gradually increased (Ptrend<0.05), and urinary 8-iso-PGF2α mediated 21.12% of the urinary TTCA-associated FPG increment. Our findings indicated that urinary CS2 metabolite was associated with increased FPG levels and diabetes risk in general population. Lipid peroxidation partly mediated the association of urinary CS2 metabolite with FPG levels.

Personal PM 2.5 exposure and lung function: Potential mediating role of systematic inflammation and oxidative damage in urban adults from the general population. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 755:142522. [PMID: 33032136 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.142522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2020] [Revised: 09/17/2020] [Accepted: 09/18/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Short-term effects of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure on lung function have been reported. However, few studies have assessed PM2.5 exposure on the personal level, and the mechanism underlying the effects of PM2.5 exposure on lung function remains less clear. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association between personal PM2.5 exposure and lung function alteration in general population and to explore the roles of systematic inflammation and oxidative damage in this association. METHODS A total of 7685 lung function tests were completed among 4697 urban adults in Wuhan, China. Plasma C-reactive protein (CRP), urinary 8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels were measured. Personal PM2.5 exposure levels were estimated using an estimation model from the actual measurements of individual PM2.5 levels in 191 participants. Mixed linear models were used to evaluate the association between personal PM2.5 exposure and lung function. Mediation analyses were conducted to investigate the roles of CRP, 8-iso-PGF2α and 8-OHdG in above associations. RESULTS After adjusting for confounders, each 10 μg/m3 increase in the previous-day personal PM2.5 exposure was associated with 2.94 mL, 2.02 mL and 16.14 mL/s decreases in forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiration volume in 1 s (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow, respectively. The associations were more obvious among never smokers compared with current smokers. Cumulative 7-day exposure to PM2.5 led to the strongest adverse effects on lung function. Among never smokers with high PM2.5 exposure levels, a positive relationship was observed between personal PM2.5 level and urinary 8-iso-PGF2α, and 8-iso-PGF2α meditated 4.69% and 12.30% of the association between the 7-day moving PM2.5 concentration and FVC and FEV1, respectively. We did not observe a significant positive association between PM2.5 exposure and plasma CRP or urinary 8-OHdG. CONCLUSION Short-term personal exposure to PM2.5 is associated with reduced pulmonary ventilation function. Urinary 8-iso-PGF2α partly mediates these associations.

Profile of copper-associated DNA methylation and its association with incident acute coronary syndrome. Clin Epigenetics 2021; 13:19. [PMID: 33499918 PMCID: PMC7839231 DOI: 10.1186/s13148-021-01004-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2020] [Accepted: 01/04/2021] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a cardiac emergency with high mortality. Exposure to high copper (Cu) concentration has been linked to ACS. However, whether DNA methylation contributes to the association between Cu and ACS is unclear. Methods We measured methylation level at > 485,000 cytosine-phosphoguanine sites (CpGs) of blood leukocytes using Human Methylation 450 Bead Chip and conducted a genome-wide meta-analysis of plasma Cu in a total of 1243 Chinese individuals. For plasma Cu-related CpGs, we evaluated their associations with the expression of nearby genes as well as major cardiovascular risk factors. Furthermore, we examined their longitudinal associations with incident ACS in the nested case-control study. Results We identified four novel Cu-associated CpGs (cg20995564, cg18608055, cg26470501 and cg05825244) within a 5% false discovery rate (FDR). DNA methylation level of cg18608055, cg26470501, and cg05825244 also showed significant correlations with expressions of SBNO2, BCL3, and EBF4 gene, respectively. Higher DNA methylation level at cg05825244 locus was associated with lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level and higher C-reactive protein level. Furthermore, we demonstrated that higher cg05825244 methylation level was associated with increased risk of ACS (odds ratio [OR], 1.23; 95% CI 1.02–1.48; P = 0.03). Conclusions We identified novel DNA methylation alterations associated with plasma Cu in Chinese populations and linked these loci to risk of ACS, providing new insights into the regulation of gene expression by Cu-related DNA methylation and suggesting a role for DNA methylation in the association between copper and ACS. ![]()

IL-22: A potential mediator of associations between urinary polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon metabolites with fasting plasma glucose and type 2 diabetes. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 401:123278. [PMID: 32634658 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2020] [Revised: 06/17/2020] [Accepted: 06/18/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Previous studies found that exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence. However, the potential mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we investigated 3031 Chinese urban adults to discover the relationship between PAH exposure and plasma Interleukin-22 (IL-22) and potential role of IL-22 in the association between PAH and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) or risk of T2D. After adjustment for potential confounders, significant dose-response relationships were observed between several urinary PAH metabolites with FPG and the prevalence of T2D. Each 1-U increase in ln-transformed value of 2-hydroxynaphthalene (2-OHNa), 2-hydroxyphenanthrene (2-OHPh), 3-hydroxyphenanthrene (3-OHPh), 4-hydroxyphenanthrene (4-OHPh), 9-hydroxyphenanthrene (9-OHPh), 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) or total PAH metabolites was significantly associated with a 0.053, 0.026, 0.037, 0.045, 0.051, 0.041 or 0.047 unit decrease in IL-22 level, respectively. In addition, plasma IL-22 level was negatively associated with FPG and prevalence of T2D in a dose-dependent manner. Mediation analysis showed that IL-22 mediated 8.48 %, 3.87 %, 6.64 %, 6.47 %, and 8.67 % of the associations between urinary 2-OHNa, 1-OHPh, 3-OHPh, 4-OHPh, and 9-OHPh with the prevalence of T2D, respectively. These results indicated that urinary PAHs metabolites were inversely associated with plasma levels of IL-22, but positively related to FPG and the T2D prevalence. Downregulation of IL-22 might play a significant role in mediating PAHs exposure-associated risk increasement of T2D.

Cadmium exposure, fasting blood glucose changes, and type 2 diabetes mellitus: A longitudinal prospective study in China. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2021; 192:110259. [PMID: 33002504 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2020.110259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2020] [Revised: 09/17/2020] [Accepted: 09/18/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cadmium is a recognized human carcinogen, raising global concern for its ubiquitously environmental exposure on public health. Diabetogenic effects of cadmium have been suggested in previous studies, but the longitudinal associations of chronic cadmium exposure with fasting blood glucose changes and type 2 diabetes mellitus have not been fully elucidated. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of long-term cadmium exposure on the fasting blood glucose changes and type 2 diabetes mellitus risk in a longitudinal prospective study of China. METHODS A total of 3521 urban adults were included as baseline study population from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort, and followed up three years later. Urinary cadmium concentrations were determined repeatedly during the follow-up of a three-year period. The within-person and between-person variability of urinary cadmium concentrations over three years was estimated using multilevel random-effects mixed models. Multivariate regression models were performed to evaluate the associations of cadmium exposure with fasting blood glucose changes and type 2 diabetes mellitus risk. RESULTS The geometric means of creatinine-corrected urinary cadmium concentration at baseline were 1.13 μg/g creatinine, which were close to the levels of follow-up (1.14 μg/g creatinine). The intra-class correlation coefficient of creatinine-corrected urinary cadmium concentrations was 0.71, achieving good reproducibility of cadmium over three years. With adjustment for potential confounders, each one-unit increase in log10-transformed cadmium was associated with a 0.11 (95%CI: 0.03 to 0.19) elevation in fasting blood glucose concentration, and was associated with a 42% (95%CI: 1.16 to 1.73) increase in risk of prevalent type 2 diabetes mellitus. Upward trends of fasting blood glucose changes and type 2 diabetes mellitus incidence were observed with increasing cadmium exposure. Individuals with the highest urinary cadmium exposure had a significant increase in fasting blood glucose change at follow-up [β (95% CI): 0.49 (0.31-0.67)]. Risk of incident type 2 diabetes mellitus were gradually elevated across increasing quartiles of cadmium exposure, though associations did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.15). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that relatively high chronic cadmium exposure for general population adults might contribute to elevated changes of fasting blood glucose resulting in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2020; 267:115647. [PMID: 33254652 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.115647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2020] [Revised: 09/12/2020] [Accepted: 09/12/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Copper have been reported to be associated with metabolic diseases. However, results on copper exposure with blood lipid profiles are inconsistent, and the underlying mechanisms of this association remain unclear. This study focused on investigating associations between urinary copper and blood lipid profiles; and exploring the potential role of systemic inflammation in such relationships. Concentrations of urinary copper, plasma C-reactive protein (CRP), and four blood lipid parameters (e.g., Total cholesterol [TC], triglycerides [TG], low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C], and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C]) were measured in the adult participants from Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. The associations between copper, CRP, and four blood lipids were assessed by the multivariable linear regression models, and the 3D mesh graphs was used to examine the joint effects of copper exposure and CRP on four blood lipid parameters. In addition, we used mediation analysis to investigate the mediated effects of CRP in the relationships between copper exposure and blood lipid profiles. Each 1% increase in urinary copper was statistically significantly associated with a 5.32% (95% CI: 2.48%, 8.24%) increase in TG after adjusting for the confounders (P < 0.05). No significant associations were observed between urinary copper and the other three blood lipid parameters (all P > 0.05). In addition, urinary copper increased monotonically with plasma CRP elevation, which in turn, was positively associated with TC, TG, and LDL-C and negatively related to HDL-C (all P < 0.05). Results from 3D mesh graphs demonstrated that increased levels of plasma CRP with higher urinary copper corresponded to higher TC, TG, LDL-C, and lower HDL-C concentrations. Mediation analysis observed that CRP mediated 6.27% in the relationships of urinary copper and TG. These findings suggest that systemic inflammation partly mediated the association between copper exposure and abnormal blood lipid, and may contribute to the development of dyslipidemias.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2020; 205:111149. [PMID: 32829210 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.111149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2020] [Revised: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 08/10/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Exposure to heavy metals was reported to be associated with heart rate variability (HRV) alteration. However, possible pathway of such association remains unclear. In this research, we investigated the possible role of lipid peroxidation in the associations between urinary heavy metals and HRV. We performed a cross-sectional study using baseline data of Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. Urinary heavy metals (including lead, barium, antimony, cadmium, zinc, copper, iron and manganese), urinary 8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α levels (common biomarker for lipid peroxidation) and HRV indices (SDNN, r-MSSD, low frequency, high frequency and total power) were measured among 3022 participants. We conducted multivariable linear regression models to quantify associations between urinary 8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) and heavy metals or HRV indices. The potential role of 8-iso-PGF2α in the association of urinary heavy metals with HRV was evaluated through mediation analyses. After adjusting for potential confounders, urinary manganese, iron, copper, zinc, cadmium, antimony and barium were identified to be negatively associated with one or more HRV parameters. Each one-unit growth of log-transformed levels of urinary manganese, iron, copper, zinc, antimony and barium was associated with a 1.9%, 1.5%, 4.7%, 4.0%, 2.7% and 1.3% decrease in SDNN, respectively. We observed positive dose-response relationships between all eight urinary heavy metals and 8-iso-PGF2α, as well as negative association of urinary 8-iso-PGF2α with SDNN and total power (all P trend<0.05). The proportions mediated by 8-iso-PGF2α on SDNN were 4.6% for manganese, 9.3% for iron, 19.8% for antimony and 11.0% for barium. The proportions mediated by 8-iso-PGF2α on total power were 6.9% for manganese and 10.1% for cadmium (all P value < 0.05). This study suggested that urinary manganese, iron, copper, zinc, cadmium, antimony and barium were negatively associated with HRV indices. Lipid peroxidation may partly mediate the associations of urinary manganese, iron, cadmium, antimony and barium with specific HRV indices.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon exposure and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk in urban adults: The mediating role of oxidatively damaged DNA. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2020; 265:114860. [PMID: 32504891 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.114860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2020] [Revised: 05/21/2020] [Accepted: 05/21/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure has been considered a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), whereas possible mechanisms for this association have not been fully understood. This study focused on exploring the potential effect of oxidatively damaged DNA on the relationships between PAH exposure and the 10-year atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) risk. Urinary levels of monohydroxy PAH metabolites (OH-PAHs) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG, the typical biomarker for oxidatively damaged DNA) were measured among 3052 subjects in the baseline of the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. The relationships between urinary OH-PAHs, 8-oxodG and 10-year risk of ASCVD were analyzed by linear mixed models and logistic regression models, respectively. The mediation analysis was further applied to explore the role of 8-oxodG in the relationship between urinary OH-PAHs and 10-year ASCVD risk. After controlling for potential confounders, the log-transformed level of total urinary low molecular weight OH-PAHs (∑LMW OH-PAHs) was significantly associated with an elevated risk of 10-year ASCVD [odds ratio (OR) = 1.222, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.065-1.402]. More specifically, significantly positive dose-response relationships between total urinary hydroxynaphthalene (∑OHNa), hydroxyfluorene (∑OHFlu), hydroxyphenanthrene (∑OHPh) and 10-year ASCVD risk were observed (all P for trend <0.05). We also found positive relationships between urinary OH-PAH levels and 8-oxodG, as well as between urinary 8-oxodG levels and 10-year risk of ASCVD. Moreover, mediation analyses indicated that urinary 8-oxodG mediated 14.49%, 12.62% and 10.55% of the associations between urinary ∑LMW OH-PAHs, ∑OHNa, ∑OHFlu and 10-year ASCVD risk, respectively. These findings suggest that the oxidatively damaged DNA pathway may be a possible mechanism underlying PAH-associated ASCVD risk elevation.
