The Role of Reduced Glutathione on the Activity of Adenosine Deaminase, Antioxidative System, and Aluminum and Zinc Levels in Experimental Aluminum Toxicity. Biol Trace Elem Res 2022:10.1007/s12011-022-03503-0.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) is one of the most abundant element in the world. But aluminum exposure and accumulation causes serious diseases, related with free radicals. Reduced glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide with intracellular antioxidant effects. This study aimed to investigate the role of GSH on adenosine deaminase (ADA), antioxidant system, and aluminum and zinc (Zn) levels in acute aluminum toxicity. In this study, Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 32) were used. The rats were divided into four equal groups (n = 8). Group I received 0.5 mL intraperitoneal injection of 0.9% saline solution (NaCI), Group II received single-dose AlCI3, Group III was given GSH for seven days, and Group IV was given AlCI3 single dose, and at the same time, 100 mg/kg GSH was given for seven days. At the end of the trial, blood samples were collected by cardiac puncture. Serum total antioxidant status (TAS) and Zn levels were lower in the aluminum-administered group than the control group. In contrast, plasma total oxidant status (TOS) and aluminum concentrations and ADA activity were found higher in the aluminum-administered group than in the control group. Unlike the other groups, group GSH administrated with aluminum was similar to the control group. As a result, GSH administration has a regulatory effect on ADA activity, antioxidant system, and Zn levels in experimental aluminum toxicity. In addition, GSH may reduce the oxidant capacity increased by Al administration and may have a tolerant role on the accumulated serum Al levels. But long-term experimental Al toxicity studies are needed to reach a firm conclusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aluminum (Al) is toxic to animals and humans. The most common sources of human exposure to Al are food and beverages. The intestinal epithelium is the first barrier against Al-induced toxicity. In this study, HT-29, a human colon cancer cell line, was selected as an in vitro model to evaluate the Al-induced alteration in metabolomic profiles and explore the possible mechanisms of Al toxicity. METHODS MTT assay was performed to determine the half-maximal inhibitory concentration of Al ions. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was used for metabolomic analysis, and its results were further confirmed using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) of nine selected genes. RESULTS Al inhibited the growth of the HT-29 cells, and its half-maximal dose for the inhibition of cell proliferation was found to be four mM. This dose was selected for further metabolomic analysis, which revealed that 81 metabolites, such glutathione (GSH), phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylethanolamines, and creatine, and 17 metabolic pathways, such as the tricarboxylic acid cycle, pyruvate metabolism, and GSH metabolism, were significantly altered after Al exposure. The RT-qPCR results further confirmed these findings. CONCLUSION The metabolomics and RT-qPCR results indicate that the mechanisms of Al-induced cytotoxicity in HT-29 cells include cellular apoptosis, oxidative stress, and alteration of lipid, energy, and amino acid metabolism.

J Trace Elem Med Biol 2018; 50:658-663. [PMID: 29954652 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2018.06.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2017] [Revised: 06/14/2018] [Accepted: 06/15/2018] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
The objective of the present study was to assess the level of aluminium and toxic metals in hair of workers occupationally exposed to aluminium. 124 employees of the aluminium plant working in the hydrometallurgical (n = 43) and sintering units (n = 41), as well as 40 occupationally nonexposed controls were examined. Hair aluminium (Al), arsenic (As), beryllium (Be), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), and tin (Sn) content was assessed using inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The obtained data demonstrate that aluminium plant workers had significantly higher levels of hair Al (28.8 (15.4-58.6) vs 7.8 (4.3-14.2) μg/g, p < 0.001), Cd (0.053 (0.032 - 0.095) vs 0.025 (0.014 - 0.043) μg/g, p < 0.001) and Pb (0.672 (0.299-1.310) vs 0.322 (0.170 - 0.609) μg/g, p = 0.012) than the controls, respectively. Further analysis demonstrated that persons involved in different technological processes were characterized by distinct hair metal profiles. Hair Al, Be, Cd, Ni, Pb, and Sn levels in men working in the sintering unit of the aluminium plant exceeded the respective control values. In turn, workers of the hydrometallurgical unit were characterized by more than 2-fold higher levels of Al and Cd in hair as compared to the controls. The results of the present study demonstrate that workers of the aluminium plant are characterized by increased risk of Al as well as As, Cd, Pb, and Sn exposure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives of the study were to assess evaluate the effects of aluminum chloride (AlCl3) on blood glucose and lipid levels in normal, diabetic, and glibenclamide-treated diabetic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-two male Wistar rats were divided into seven groups of six each. Group I was normal control, Groups II and III were given AlCl350 and 100 mg/kg, and Group IV to VII were administered with streptozotocin (STZ) (60 mg/kg) intraperitoneally. Group IV was diabetic control, Group V in addition was given AlCl350 mg/kg, Group VI glibenclamide (10 mg/kg), and Group VII glibenclamide and AlCl3(50 mg/kg) per-oral daily for 28 days. Blood glucose and lipid levels were estimated at base line, after diabetes was set in and on the last day of study. Histopathological changes in pancreas, liver, and kidney were studied. RESULTS No significant change was observed in blood glucose and lipid levels in Group I. Group II and III showed a dose-dependent significant increase in blood glucose was observed. Group V had a reduction in blood glucose but not to the nondiabetic level. Group VI had significant reduction in blood sugar. In Group VII, treated with glibenclamide and AlCl3, there was no significant change in blood glucose reduction compared to Group VI. Lipid levels were reduced in groups treated with AlCl3 and glibenclamide and not in other groups. Gross tissue damage was seen in pancreas in STZ group and in liver and kidney in AlCl3 groups. CONCLUSION AlCl3 administration in Wistar rats caused in significant hyperglycemia in normal rats, hypoglycemia in diabetic rats, and did not influenced hypoglycemic effect of glibenclamide and in addition, resulted in reduction in lipid levels.

Abstract
This study sought to evaluate the in utero exposure to aluminum and status of selected trace elements in South African women at delivery since aluminum is known to be toxic in all developmental stages even at low concentrations. Serum aluminum was negatively correlated with aluminum in urine, both uncorrected and corrected for creatinine, which suggests the retention of aluminum in body stores. Serum copper and zinc levels were found to be high in this study population. Serum copper levels were negatively correlated with aluminum in serum (β = -0.095; p = 0.05). There was a marginal negative correlation between aluminum levels in serum and manganese levels in whole blood (β = -0.087; p = 0.08). Copper levels in maternal serum were negatively correlated with birth weight and the length of neonates. There were a number of positive correlations between maternal characteristics and birth outcomes. Mothers who consumed root vegetables frequently appeared to be protected from aluminum retention and increased body burden since their serum aluminum levels were found to be significantly lower. The findings of the current study can be used as a baseline for further research on aluminum exposure and its associated interactions and outcomes in vulnerable populations.

Abstract
Aluminum toxicity might be related to oxidative stress, and the antioxidant activity and protective effect of bee bread, which contains pollen, honey and bees' enzymes, on aluminum induced blood and hepato-renal toxicity was investigated in rats. Chemical analysis and antioxidant capacity of bee bread were conducted. The animal experiment in rats included; group 1: received distilled water (10 ml/kg b.wt), group 2: received aluminum chloride (662.2 mg/kg b.wt), group 3: received aluminum chloride (662.2 mg/kg b.wt) and ethanolic extract of the bee bread (500 mg/kg b.wt), and group 4: received aluminum chloride (662.2 mg/kg b.wt) and ethanolic extract of the bee bread (750 mg/kg b.wt). Doses were given once daily via a gavage. C-reactive protein, transaminases, urea, creatinine, creatinine clearance, sodium and potassium and urine sodium and potassium were determined on day 28 of the experiment. Bee bread contained protein, fat, fiber, ash, carbohydrate, phenol and flavonoids and it exhibited antioxidant activity. Aluminum caused a significant elevation of blood urea, transaminase, C-reactive protein and monocyte count and significantly decreased hemoglobin. These changes were significantly ameliorated by the use of bee bread. Bee bread has an antioxidant property, and exhibited a protective effect on aluminum induced blood and hepato-renal toxicity and elevation of inflammatory markers C-reactive protein, leukocyte and monocyte counts.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) has various adverse effects on health of humans and animals. The aim of present study was to demonstrate that Lactobacillus plantarum CCFM639 can alleviate the adverse effects on liver and kidney of mice caused by chronic Al exposure. Animals were assigned into control, CCFM639 only, Al only, Al plus CCFM639, and Al plus deferiprone groups. The strain was given by oral gavage for 14 weeks, and Al was introduced via drinking water for the first 8 weeks. Analyses of Al and trace elements levels in feces, blood, and tissues were performed. The biochemical markers (GSH, GPx, SOD, CAT, and MDA) of oxidative stress in livers and kidneys, as well as the levels of ALT, AST, BUN, and CRE in blood, were determined. Our results showed that L. plantarum CCFM639 can significantly reduce Al accumulation in tissues, regulate imbalance of trace elements, and thereby alleviate oxidative stress and pathological changes in hepatic and renal tissues. Therefore, L. plantarum CCFM639 could alleviate Al-induced hepatic and renal injuries, and the possible mechanisms may involve in regulating the imbalance of trace elements.

Abstract
The present study was designed to examine the protective effects of the chelating agents desferrioxamine (DFO) and deferiprone (DFP) in aluminum intoxicated spleen tissue of mice by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The finding revealed the alterations on the major biochemical constituents, such as lipids, proteins, phosphodiester and nucleic acids of the spleen tissue of mice at molecular level. The significant decreased in the peak areas of asymmetric and symmetric mode of the phosphodiester groups from control to aluminum intoxicated, but improved it by DFP and DFO+DFP treatments respectively for nearer control value. The bands ratio at I1081/I1232 significantly decreased from control to aluminum, but enhanced it by DFP and DFO+DFP respectively. This result suggests that DFO and DFP are the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, recovered from chronic growth of diseases in the spleen. Amide I and amide II peak area values decreased from control to aluminum intoxicated spleen tissue, but treated with DFP and DFO+DFP significantly improved. This result suggests an alteration in the protein profile. The absence of Olefinic=CH stretching in aluminum intoxicated spleen suggests an altered lipid levels. Concentrations of trace elements were found by ICP-OES. Histopathological findings confirmed the biochemical observations of this study. The results of the FTIR study were found to be in agreement with biochemical studies and demonstrated that FTIR can be used successfully applied to toxicological studies at molecular level.

Abstract
The present study has attempt to analyze the changes in the biochemical and mineral contents of aluminum intoxicated bone and determine the protective action of desferrioxamine (DFO) and deferiprone (DFP) by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques for four groups of animals such as control (Group I), aluminum intoxicated (Group II), Al+DFP (Group III) and Al+DFO+DFP (Group IV) treated groups respectively. The FTIR spectra of the aluminum intoxicated bone showed significant alteration in the biochemical constituents. The bands ratio at I1400/I877 significantly decreased from control to aluminum, but enhanced it by Al+DFP to Al+DFO+DFP treated bone tissue for treatments of 16 weeks. This result suggests that DFO and DFP are the carbonate inhibitor, recovered from chronic growth of bone diseases and pathologies. The alteration of proteins profile indicated by Amide I and Amide II, where peak area values decreased from control to aluminum respectively, but enhanced by treated with DFP (p.o.) and DFO+DFP (i.p.) respectively. The XRD analysis showed a decrease in crystallinity due to aluminum toxicity. Further, the Ca, Mg, and P contents of the aluminum exposed bone were less than those of the control group, and enhanced by treatments with DFO and DFP. The concentrations of trace elements were found by ICP-OES. Therefore, present study suggests that due to aluminum toxicity severe loss of bone minerals, decrease in the biochemical constituents and changes in the surface morphology.

Abstract
In this study, we made a new approach to evaluate aluminium induced metabolic changes in liver tissue of mice using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis taking one step further in correlation with strong biochemical evidence. This finding reveals the alterations on the major biochemical constituents, such as lipids, proteins, nucleic acids and glycogen of the liver tissues of mice. The peak area value of amide A significantly decrease from 288.278±3.121 to 189.872±2.012 between control and aluminium treated liver tissue respectively. Amide I and amide II peak area value also decrease from 40.749±2.052 to 21.170±1.311 and 13.167±1.441 to 8.953±0.548 in aluminium treated liver tissue respectively. This result suggests an alteration in the protein profile. The absence of olefinicCH stretching band and CO stretching of triglycerides in aluminium treated liver suggests an altered lipid levels due to aluminium exposure. Significant shift in the peak position of glycogen may be the interruption of aluminium in the calcium metabolism and the reduced level of calcium. The overall findings exhibit that the liver metabolic program is altered through increasing the structural modification in proteins, triglycerides and quantitative alteration in proteins, lipids, and glycogen. All the above mentioned modifications were protected in desferrioxamine treated mice. Histopathological results also revealed impairment of aluminium induced alterations in liver tissue. The results of the FTIR study were found to be in agreement with biochemical studies and which demonstrate FTIR can be used successfully to indicate the molecular level changes.

Abstract
Present work was carried out to investigate how testicular selenium (Se) metabolisms respond to oxidative stress induced by aluminum (Al). Mice were intraperitoneally exposed to 0, 7, or 35mg Al/kg/d for 14 days (CNL, LAL and HAL groups). Al administration significantly increased Al, reactive oxygen radical and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, as well as decreased glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) activities in serum and testes. The serum concentrations of Se were remarkably lower at LAL and HAL groups compared to the controls, whereas the testicular Se levels significantly reduced only in the HAL group. In addition, RT-PCR analysis revealed an increased testicular selenoprotein P (SelP) expression by Al treatment. Western blot analysis showed increased levels of SelP protein expression in the LAL group, but the expression levels were significantly reduced in HAL group. It was suggested that altered metabolism of Se, further stimulated testicular SelP transcription that may compensate for the loss of SelP protein resulted from Al-induced oxidative damage.
