Abstract
Background Laboratory studies have linked nickel with the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, few observational studies in humans have confirmed this association. Objective This study aimed to use urinary nickel concentrations, as a biomarker of environmental nickel exposure, to evaluate the cross-sectional association between nickel exposure and CVD in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. Methods Data from a nationally representative sample (n = 2702) in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-20 were used. CVD (n = 326) was defined as self-reported physicians' diagnoses of coronary heart disease, angina, heart attack, or stroke. Urinary nickel concentrations were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Logistic regression with sample weights was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of CVD. Results Urinary nickel concentrations were higher in individuals with CVD (weighted median 1.34 μg/L) compared to those without CVD (1.08 μg/L). After adjustment for demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle, and other risk factors for CVD, the ORs (95% CIs) for CVD compared with the lowest quartile of urinary nickel were 3.57 (1.73-7.36) for the second quartile, 3.61 (1.83-7.13) for the third quartile, and 2.40 (1.03-5.59) for the fourth quartile. Cubic spline regression revealed a non-monotonic, inverse U-shaped, association between urinary nickel and CVD (Pnonlinearity < 0.001). Conclusions Nickel exposure is associated with CVD in a non-monotonic manner among U.S. adults independent of well-known CVD risk factors.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 328:121654. [PMID: 37080514 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121654] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
There is an increase of application of Nickel in the form of nanoparticles (NiNPs) in several fields including modern metallurgy, bioengineering, and medicine. Such growth of the areas of application is actually accompanied with an increase of exposure to Nickel, thus an intensification of the negative effects, the most frequent being the allergic contact dermatitis. Indeed, due to their smaller size, and therefore their higher surface area, NiNPs can release more Ni ions compared to bulk material, that can penetrate and permeate through the skin. To reduce the Ni cutaneous penetration, barrier creams (BC) are applied on the skin surface. There is little information, however, on the efficiency of such commercial protective creams on decreasing Ni cutaneous penetration. For this reason, the objective of the current study was to investigate the protective role of one commercially available formulation for Ni (Nik-L-Block™ containing a chelating agent) and one moisturizing cream (Ceramol 311 basic cream without chelating agent), following exposure to NiNPs, using in vitro Franz cells, as well as the cytotoxicity of NiNPs in primary human dermal fibroblasts was studied. Our results demonstrated that although both tested formulations can decrease Ni accumulation in the skin (4.13 ± 1.74 μg/cm2 for Nik-L-Block™ and 7.14 ± 1.46 μg/cm2 for Ceramol 311 basic cream); there are significant differences between the two creams (p = 0.004). Based on the experimental evidence, we therefore conclude that the composition of such formulations has an imperative role for dermal uptake of Ni. Finally, NiNPs showed no cytotoxic effect on cultured human dermal fibroblasts after 24 and 72 h.

Abstract
Nickel (Ni), a heavy metal is prevalent in the atmosphere due to both natural and anthropogenic activities. Ni is a carcinogen implicated in the development of lung and nasal cancers in humans. Furthermore, Ni exposure is associated with a number of chronic lung diseases in humans including asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary edema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). While Ni compounds are weak mutagens, a number of studies have demonstrated the potential of Ni to alter the epigenome, suggesting epigenomic dysregulation as an important underlying cause for its pathogenicity. In the eukaryotic nucleus, the DNA is organized in a three-dimensional (3D) space through assembly of higher order chromatin structures. Such an organization is critically important for transcription and other biological activities. Accumulating evidence suggests that by negatively affecting various cellular regulatory processes, Ni could potentially affect chromatin organization. In this review, we discuss the role of Ni in altering the chromatin architecture, which potentially plays a major role in Ni pathogenicity.

Abstract
In the present study, the natural biosorption capacity of Acacia nilotica sawdust (wood biomass) was studied for the removal of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) heavy metal ions. The process was optimized for several important factors such as pH, contact time, biomass amount, and metal ion concentration. The maximum biosorption of Zn onto Acacia nilotica sawdust was 66.092% at pH 7.0, contact time 20 min, biomass concentration 0.4 g, and initial Zn concentration 8.4 mg/L. The maximum Cu biosorption to Acacia nilotica sawdust was 66.097% at pH 4, contact time 45 min, biomass 0.8 g, initial metal ion concentration 27 mg/L. The experimental data were analyzed by two different adsorption isotherms i.e. Langmuir and Freundlich models. Based on the regression coefficient the Freundlich isotherm model showed the best fit for Zn whereas Cu metal ion adsorption gave a favorable fit for Langmuir isotherm. Both metal ions followed pseudo-second-order kinetics in the adsorption process using sawdust of Acacia nilotica.

Abstract
The concentrations of potentially toxic elements (Fe, Cd, Pb, Cu, Ni, Cr, and Zn) in most consumed medicinal herbs in Northern Nigeria were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). Twenty medicinal herbs were selected and purchased from the local markets. The findings of the study revealed that the investigated herb samples contained considerable levels of elements; Cu, Fe, Pb, Cd, and Cr above the permissible limits. The health risk observed as hazard index (HI) indicated that values were >1, in some samples. Therefore, the consumption of these studied medicinal herbs should be monitored to prevent the health implication due to a high level of these elements in the medicinal herbs.

Abstract
Nickel compounds are environmental toxicants, prevalent in the atmosphere due to their widespread use in several industrial processes, extensive consumption of nickel containing products, as well as burning of fossil fuels. Exposure to nickel is associated with a multitude of chronic inflammatory lung diseases including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary fibrosis. In addition, nickel exposure is implicated in the development of nasal and lung cancers. Interestingly, a common pathogenic mechanism underlying the development of diseases associated with nickel exposure is epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT is a process by which the epithelial cells lose their junctions and polarity and acquire mesenchymal traits, including increased ability to migrate and invade. EMT is a normal and essential physiological process involved in differentiation, development and wound healing. However, EMT also contributes to a number of pathological conditions, including fibrosis, cancer and metastasis. Growing evidence suggest that EMT induction could be an important outcome of nickel exposure. In this review, we discuss the role of EMT in nickel-induced lung diseases and the mechanisms associated with EMT induction by nickel exposure.

Abstract
Dihydrogen is one of the sustainable energy vectors envisioned for the future. However, the rapidly reversible and secure storage of large quantities of hydrogen is still a technological and scientific challenge. In this context, this review proposes a recent state-of-the-art on H2 production capacities from the dehydrogenation reaction of ammonia borane (and selected related amine-boranes) as a safer solid source of H2 by hydrolysis (or solvolysis), catalyzed by nanoparticle-based systems. The review groups the results according to the transition metals constituting the catalyst with a mention to their current cost and availability. This includes the noble metals Rh, Pd, Pt, Ru, Ag, as well as cheaper Co, Ni, Cu, and Fe. For each element, the monometallic and polymetallic structures are presented and the performances are described in terms of turnover frequency and recyclability. The structure-property links are highlighted whenever possible. It appears from all these works that the mastery of the preparation of catalysts remains a crucial point both in terms of process, and control and understanding of the electronic structures of the elaborated nanomaterials. A particular effort of the scientific community remains to be made in this multidisciplinary field with major societal stakes.

Abstract
The rationale behind the success of nickel free or with extremely low nickel austenitic high manganese and nitrogen stabilized stainless steels is adverse influences of nickel ion on human body. Replacement of nickel by nitrogen and manganese provides a stable microstructure and facilitates better biocompatibility in respect of the conventional 316L austenitic stainless steel (316L SS). In this investigation, biocompatibility of the high-manganese and nitrogen stabilized (Fe-18Cr-22Mn-0.65N) austenitic stainless steel was studied and found highly promising.In vitrocell culture and cell proliferation (MTT) assays were performed on this stainless steel and assessed in respect of the 316L SS. Both the steels exhibited similar cell growth behavior. Furthermore, an enhancement was observed in cell proliferation on the Fe-18Cr-22Mn-0.65N SS after surface modification by ultrasonic shot peening (USP). The mean percent proliferation of the MG-63 cells increased from ≈88% for Un-USP to 98% and 105% for USP 3-2 and USP 2-2 samples, respectively for 5 d of incubation. Interestingly,in vivoanimal study performed in rabbits for 3 and 6 weeks showed callus formation and sign of union without any allergic reaction.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous non-coding RNAs that regulate cancer initiation, development, angiogenesis, and therapeutic resistance. Metal exposure widely occurs through air, water, soil, food, and industrial contaminants. Hundreds of millions of people may have metal exposure associated with toxicity, serious health problems, and cancer occurrence. Metal exposure is found to induce oxidative stress, DNA damage and repair, and activation of multiple signaling pathways. However, molecular mechanisms of metal-induced carcinogenesis remain to be elucidated. Recent studies demonstrated that the exposure of metals such as arsenic, hexavalent chromium, cadmium, and nickel caused dysregulation of microRNAs that are implicated to play an important role in cell transformation, tumor growth and angiogenesis. This review focuses on the recent studies that show metal-induced miRNA dysregulation and underlined mechanisms in cell malignant transformation, angiogenesis and tumor growth.

Kinetic mechanisms by which nickel alters the calcium (Ca 2+) transport in intact rat liver. J Biol Inorg Chem 2021; 26:641-658.

Abstract
In the present work, the multiple-indicator dilution (MID) technique was used to investigate the kinetic mechanisms by which nickel (Ni2+) affects the calcium (Ca2+) transport in intact rat liver. 45Ca2+ and extra- and intracellular space indicators were injected in livers perfused with 1 mM Ni2+, and the outflow profiles were analyzed by a mathematical model. For comparative purposes, the effects of norepinephrine were measured. The influence of Ni2+ on the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c) in human hepatoma Huh7 cells and on liver glycogen catabolism, a biological response sensitive to cellular Ca2+, was also evaluated. The estimated transfer coefficients of 45Ca2+ transport indicated two mechanisms by which Ni2+ increases the [Ca2+]c in liver under steady-state conditions: (1) an increase in the net efflux of Ca2+ from intracellular Ca2+ stores due to a stimulus of Ca2+ efflux to the cytosolic space along with a diminution of Ca2+ re-entry into the cellular Ca2+ stores; (2) a decrease in Ca2+ efflux from the cytosolic space to vascular space, minimizing Ca2+ loss. Glycogen catabolism activated by Ni2+ was transient contrasting with the sustained activation induced by norepinephrine. Ni2+ caused a partial reduction in the norepinephrine-induced stimulation in the [Ca2+]c in Huh7 cells. Our data revealed that the kinetic parameters of Ca2+ transport modified by Ni2+ in intact liver are similar to those modified by norepinephrine in its first minutes of action, but the membrane receptors or Ca2+ transporters affected by Ni2+ seem to be distinct from those known to be modulated by norepinephrine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nickel activates the signaling pathways through the oxygen sensing mechanism and the signaling cascades that control hypoxia-inducible transcriptional gene expressions through oxidative stress. This review emphasizes on the recent updates of nickel toxicities on oxidant and antioxidant balance, molecular interaction of nickel and its signal transduction through low oxygen microenvironment in the in-vivo physiological system. DISCUSSION Nickel alters intracellular chemical microenvironment by increasing ionized calcium concentration, lipid peroxidation, cyclooxygenase, constitutive nitric oxide synthase, leukotriene B4, prostaglandin E2, interleukins, tumor necrosis factor-α, caspases, complement activation, heat shock protein 70 kDa and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α. The oxidative stress induced by nickel is responsible for the progression of metastasis. It has been observed that nickel exposure induces the generation of reactive oxygen species which leads to the increased expression of p53, NF-kβ, AP-1, and MAPK. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) prevents lipid peroxidation, oxidation of low-density lipoproteins and advanced oxidation protein products. The mechanism involves that vitamin C is capable of reducing ferric iron to ferrous iron in the duodenum, thus the availability of divalent ferrous ion increases which competes with nickel (a divalent cation itself) and reduces its intestinal absorption and nickel toxicities. CONCLUSION Reports suggested the capability of ascorbic acid as a regulatory factor to influence gene expression, apoptosis and other cellular functions of the living system exposed to heavy metals, including nickel.

BACKGROUND Nickel, as one of the most abundant elements in the earth's crust, plays many roles in human reproduction and life. It is an essential trace element for the human body, but can be harmful in excess amounts. Nickel has a significant impact on endocrine hormones in humans and animals, potentially causing abnormal secretions and changing the structure and function of endocrine organs. This article systematically reviews the effects of nickel on hormone secretion and target organs in the endocrine system and identifies areas of insufficient research. METHODS All data in this article were extracted from peer-reviewed articles. The PubMed, SciFinder, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases were searched for relevant articles. Data on nickel's effect on endocrine system hormones and target organs were retrieved, and manually sorted prior to inclusion in this review. RESULTS Nickel acts on the endocrine system and affects the release and regulation of endocrine hormones. Disorders of endocrine hormones may lead to retardation of human growth and mental development, disturbance of water and salt regulation, and even a decline in reproductive ability. Nickel affects the hypothalamus and pituitary gland by regulating organs upstream of the endocrine axis; it can cause abnormal secretion of pituitary hormones, which affects target organs of the endocrine axis, resulting in dysfunction therein and abnormal secretion of related hormones. Nickel also damages target organs, mainly by inducing apoptosis, which triggers oxidative stress, cell autophagy, free radical release, and DNA damage. However, there are few studies on the endocrine axis, and some of the data are contradictory. Nevertheless, it is clear that nickel affects the endocrine system. CONCLUSIONS Nickel can damage organs in the endocrine system, such as the hypothalamus and pituitary. It also affects the secretion of hormones and damages the target organs of these hormones; this can result in endocrine system dysfunction. However, the results have been equivocal and further research is needed.

Equilibrium and thermodynamic investigation of biosorption of nickel from water by activated carbon made from palm kernel chaff. Sci Rep 2021; 11:7808.

Abstract
Novel biosorbents were derived from a waste product of palm kernel oil extraction known as palm kernel chaff (PKC). One portion of the PKC was carbonized in a furnace and then activated chemically, while the other half was activated without carbonization. Both were designated as CPKC and UPKC, respectively. The two biosorbents so produced were then used to conduct batch equilibrium and kinetic sorption studies at 30 °C, 35 °C and 40 °C and pH 3.0 and 9.0 for an agitation period of 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 90, and 120 min. The Koble-Corrigan, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and the Freundlich isotherms fitted the experimental data very well with R2 values of 0.97 to 1.0, 0.95 to 1.0, and 0.96 to 1.0, respectively. The linear type II Langmuir isotherm performed much better (0.96 ≤ R2 ≤ 1.0) than the nonlinear isotherm. The maximum sorption capacity was obtained as 120.6 mg/g using CPKC at pH 9.0 and 35 °C. The Langmuir separation coefficient values (0.022 ≤ RL ≤ 0.926) show that the sorption of nickel to PKC is favorable. The most favorable sorption condition was found for CPKC at pH 9 and temperature of 40 °C. The values of sorption energy (8.21 ≤ E ≤ 14.27) and the isosteric heat of sorption (-133.09 ≤ ∆Hx ≤ -17.92) indicate that the mode of sorption is mostly ion exchange. Thermodynamic parameters also show that the process is exothermic and entropy-driven. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model shows the best correlation compared to the other kinetic models. The coefficient of correlation for the pseudo-second-order model was mostly within the range of 0.999-1.000 for 90% of all kinetic studies carried out.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many of the markets in Nigeria are open, where foodstuffs are laid bare on flat trays and open baskets, directly exposing them to environmental contaminants. This study aimed at determining whether some food items on sale around an industrialized area of Ogun State are contaminated with trace metals. METHODS Seven different food items - Clarias gariepinus (roasted, fresh and smoked) Bos taurus (dried and fresh beef), zobo leaf (Hibiscus sabdariffa) and crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus) were sampled from three major markets, namely: Lusada, Atan and Ota in Ado-Odo/Ota LGA of Ogun State. They were analyzed for Lead, Cadmium, Nickel, Manganese and Zinc using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. RESULTS Cd was not detected in most of the food items across the markets. Pb, Ni and Mn were detected in very high concentrations above the maximum allowable limits by international regulatory agencies. Zn was the only metal that was generally below regulatory limits in food items across the three markets. The Estimated Daily Intake (EDI) and Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) values were generally higher than values acceptable in food. CONCLUSION Some of the food items consumed in this area are not entirely safe from metal toxicity and this may have serious health consequences.

Abstract
Nickel is the most prevailing metal allergen with the highest sensitization rate among the "TOP 25" contact allergens and can affect about 15% of the human population. It is an essential trace metal in plants, animals, and humans. However, the environmental levels of nickel are considerably higher than what is needed for human life. Exposure to high levels of nickel can lead to skin allergies, lung fibrosis, and carcinogenesis. Few existing studies have closely examined the toxicity of nickel, let alone investigated the effective detoxification pathways. Here, we developed a high-throughput screening platform to comprehensively evaluate the nickel toxicity in wild-type C. elegans and explore the underlying detoxification mechanisms in transgenic nematodes. We demonstrated that nickel exerted multiple toxic effects on growth, brood size, feeding, and locomotion in C. elegans. Of which, brood size is the most sensitive endpoint. Nickel was found to first bind to phytochelatin (PC) after entering the worms' body and this PC-Ni complex was further transported by the ABC transporter, CeHMT-1, into the coelomocytes for further detoxification. Our study also demonstrated that the high-throughput screening platform is a promising system for evaluation and investigation of the ecological risks of heavy metals.

Abstract
Nickel is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant, which has various effects on reproductive endocrinology. In this study, human adrenocortical carcinoma (NCI-H295R) cell line was used as an in vitro biological model to study the effect of nickel chloride (NiCl2) on the viability and steroidogenesis. The cells were exposed to different concentrations (3.90; 7.80; 15.60; 31.20; 62.50; 125; 250 and 500 microM) of NiCl2 and compared with control group (culture medium without NiCl2). The cell viability was measured by the metabolic activity assay. Production of sexual steroid hormones was quantified by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Following 48 h culture of the cells in the presence of NiCl2 a dose-dependent depletion of progesterone release was observed even at the lower concentrations. In fact, lower levels of progesterone were detected in groups with higher doses (>/=125 microM) of NiCl2 (P<0.01), which also elicited cytotoxic action. A more prominent decrease in testosterone production (P<0.01) was also noted in comparison to that of progesterone. On the other hand, the release of 17beta-estradiol was substantially increased at low concentrations (3.90 to 62.50 microM) of NiCl2. The cell viability remained relatively unaltered up to 125 microM (P>0.05) and slightly decreased from 250 microM of NiCl2 (P<0.05). Our results indicate endocrine disruptive effect of NiCl2 on the release of progesterone and testosterone in the NCI-H295R cell line. Although no detrimental effect of NiCl2 (</=62.50 microM) could be found on 17beta-estradiol production, its toxicity may reflect at other points of the steroidogenic pathway.

Abstract
Due to the effects of Hurricane Patricia (2015), the bulk freighter "El Llanitos" ran aground in the rocky intertidal zone of Colima, Mexico. We assessed the impact of this ship's stranding on a population of the gastropod Plicopurpura pansa. Toxic elements, hydrocarbons, shell deformities, presence of tumors, imposex, and morphological relationships were analyzed. Two years after the stranding occurred, high cyanide concentrations (0.0363 mg/l) and Ni concentrations above permissible limits (3.35 mg/l) were found in surface seawater. Hydrocarbon concentrations were high in the aft zone of the ship and decreased towards the bow area of the freighter. The P. pansa specimens collected closest to the ship structure presented a high prevalence of tumorations in the structure of the foot and morphological anomalies in the shell structure; imposex was 32% and there was evidence of effects on the growth indicator. The evidence presented here supports the existence of a significant impact from the grounding of the ship on a protected gastropod species associated with the rocky intertidal zone on the coast of Colima. The potential of P. pansa as a bioindicator species of pollution caused by toxic elements and hydrocarbons associated with stranding events in the tropical Pacific is documented.

Abstract
Heavy metals have been found in increasing concentrations in the aquatic environment. Fishes exposed to such metals have altered gene expression, serum profiles, tissue histology and bioindices that serve as overall health biomarkers. The heavy metals (Ni, Cd, and Cr) accumulated in water and fish tissues, were beyond the permissible limits defined by the Central Pollution Control Board/World Health Organization. Metallothionein (MT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) genes expression patterns highlighted the metal-specific exposure of fish. An increased fold change of genes against beta-actin serves as a potential feature for toxicity. Metal toxicity is also reflected by an increased level of digestive enzymes (amylase and lipase) in the serum and alterations in values of reproductive hormones (11-Ketotestosterone and progesterone). Total serum bilirubin attribute to the liver and biliary tract disease in fishes. Histopathological studies show cellular degeneration, breakage, vacuolization signifying the chronic stress.

Abstract
Water pollution by heavy metals has many human origins, such as the burning of fossil fuels, exhaust gases of vehicles, mining, agriculture, and incineration of solid and liquid wastes. Heavy metals also occur naturally, due to volcanoes, thermal springs activity, erosion, infiltration, etc. This water contamination is a threat for living beings because most heavy metals are toxic to humans and to aquatic life. Hence, it is important to find effective techniques for removing these contaminants in order to reduce the level of pollution of the natural waters. In this work, we have reviewed the toxicity of several heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium, chromium, nickel), their impact on the environment and human health, and the synthesis and characterization methods of conducting organic polymers (COPs) utilized for the removal of heavy metals from the environment. Therefore, this review was essentially aimed to present recent works and methods (2000-2020) on the environmental impact and toxicity of heavy metals and on the removal of toxic heavy metals, using chemically and/or electrochemically synthesized COPs. We have also stressed the great interest of COPs for the removal of toxic heavy metals from waters.

Abstract
Metal exposure is pervasive and not limited to sporadic poisoning events or toxic waste sites. Hundreds of millions of people around the globe are affected by chronic metal exposure, which is associated with serious health concerns, including cancer, as demonstrated in a variety of studies at the molecular, systemic, and epidemiologic levels. Metal-induced toxicity and carcinogenicity are sophisticated and complex in nature. This review provides a broad context and holistic view of currently available studies on the mechanisms of metal-induced carcinogenesis. Specifically, we focus on the five most prevalent carcinogenic metals, arsenic, nickel, cadmium, chromium, and beryllium, and their potential to drive carcinogenesis in humans. A comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms behind the development of metal-induced cancer can provide valuable insights for therapeutic intervention involving molecular targets in metal-induced carcinogenesis.

Abstract
A laboratory trial was performed to test the sequestration capacity of two minerals (bentonite and zeolite) at three initial concentrations (2.5, 5 and 10%) in order to counter water-soluble nickel (Ni) exceeding the Italian legal limit (10 μg L-1) in carbonation lime disposed of in a field and sampled for an 85-day lab study. The results show a noticeable reduction in water-soluble and bioavailable Ni in lime after the addition of sequestrants, especially at the dose of 5% bentonite or zeolite, thereby indicating a "ceiling effect" of the sequestrant, i.e., an increasing dose could reduce the adsorption capacity and be less effective. The alkaline pH and the presence of organic matter could be the main factors affecting the good performance of sequestrant addition, causing an increase in the negative charge of the organic and mineral colloids and the formation of unavailable Ni precipitates. The 85-day experiment seems to be sufficient to reach an adsorption equilibrium for water-soluble nickel, while for the bioavailable form a longer period appears to be necessary.

Abstract
Metals are widely used in modern society harming the environment; their toxicity cause environmental adverse effects to many organisms including zooplankton. This contribution employed: (a) acute and chronic toxicity tests, (b) epifluorescence image analysis, and (c) atomic absorption techniques, to analyze toxicity of four trace (copper, iron, nickel, and zinc), and one non-trace metals (mercury) on the freshwater rotifer Euchlanis dilatata. This work integrated results of Bioconcentration Factors (BCF's), sites of entry and accumulation and to determine mechanisms of uptake and toxicity of these five metals of the freshwater rotifer Euchlanis dilatata. This integral analysis enhanced our understanding of knowledge on: (a) the toxicity mechanisms, (b) sites of metal entry and concentration inside the rotifer, (c) bioconcentration and body burdens. As expected, Hg the non-trace metal used here, was the most toxic. Our results suggest that the toxicity is ameliorated in the rotifer by selecting feeding avoiding the most toxic particles and reducing adverse effects on reproduction, until mortality per se reduces reproduction. The chronic effect on ingestion rate was quite sensitive for all metals whereas reproduction was slightly affected. The combination of acute and chronic tests and determination of BCF's for each metal allowed calculation of the acute and chronic body burdens. Body burdens again confirmed that mercury was the most toxic metal of the five employed here.

There is a dire need to assess the quality of fishes transported for human consumption as lately, their health is challenged because of anthropogenic activities. Heavy metals with a long environmental persistence are toxic to fishes and the humans. The study was conducted to evaluate the impact of heavy metals on Clarias gariepinus inhabiting popular Ganges rivulet at Narora (28.18° E, 78.39° N). The limnological values deviated from the international Standards (USEPA, WHO). Higher total dissolved solids (859 mg/L), total suspended solids (406 mg/L), low dissolved oxygen (5.60 mg/L), and pH (5.21) indicated the presence of contaminants. Heavy metals estimated followed the order Cd > Ni > Cu > Cr. Serum enzymes (hepatic and renal markers) viz., aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were higher than the normal, whereas, creatine kinase (CK) was considerably low in both male and female fish. Stress induced was marked by elevation in cortisol and glucose. This had its impact on hematological parameters as well, as a decline in Total leucocyte count (TLC) & mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and increase in Mean cell hemoglobin (MCH) was observed. Erythrocytes also showed altered morphology. Marked histopathological alterations were observed in all immune organs (head-kidney, liver, spleen, thymus). Oxidative stress induced by heavy metals leads to the production of metal scavenging protein metallothionein (MT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX). Maximum fold change in metallothionein (MT) gene expression was observed in the liver, followed by spleen, thymus, blood, and head-kidney. Glutathione peroxidase (GPX) gene expression was highest in the liver, followed by thymus, spleen, blood, and head-kidney. The gene expression studies further validated the increased level of heavy metals as potent contaminants of water and the non-condusive abiotic factors.

Abstract
Nickel (Ni) is known to be a major carcinogenic heavy metal. Occupational and environmental exposure to Ni has been implicated in human lung and nasal cancers. Currently, the molecular mechanisms of Ni carcinogenicity remain unclear, but studies have shown that Ni-caused DNA damage is an important carcinogenic mechanism. Therefore, we conducted a literature search of DNA damage associated with Ni exposure and summarized known Ni-caused DNA damage effects. In vitro and vivo studies demonstrated that Ni can induce DNA damage through direct DNA binding and reactive oxygen species (ROS) stimulation. Ni can also repress the DNA damage repair systems, including direct reversal, nucleotide repair (NER), base excision repair (BER), mismatch repair (MMR), homologous-recombination repair (HR), and nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) repair pathways. The repression of DNA repair is through direct enzyme inhibition and the downregulation of DNA repair molecule expression. Up to now, the exact mechanisms of DNA damage caused by Ni and Ni compounds remain unclear. Revealing the mechanisms of DNA damage from Ni exposure may contribute to the development of preventive strategies in Ni carcinogenicity.

Abstract
Nickel is a naturally occurring element found in the Earth’s crust and an International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)-classified human carcinogen. While low levels found in the natural environment pose a minor concern, the extensive use of nickel in industrial settings such as in the production of stainless steel and various alloys complicate human exposure and health effects. Notably, interactions with nickel macromolecules, primarily through inhalation, have been demonstrated to promote lung cancer. Mechanisms of nickel-carcinogenesis range from oxidative stress, DNA damage, and hypoxia-inducible pathways to epigenetic mechanisms. Recently, non-coding RNAs have drawn increased attention in cancer mechanistic studies. Specifically, nickel has been found to disrupt expression and functions of micro-RNAs and long-non-coding RNAs, resulting in subsequent changes in target gene expression levels, some of which include key cancer genes such as p53, MDM2, c-myc, and AP-1. Non-coding RNAs are also involved in well-studied mechanisms of nickel-induced lung carcinogenesis, such as the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway, oxidative stress, DNA damage and repair, DNA hypermethylation, and alterations in tumor suppressors and oncogenes. This review provides a summary of the currently known epigenetic mechanisms involved in nickel-induced lung carcinogenesis, with a particular focus on non-coding RNAs.

Abstract
Currently, percutaneous coronary intervention is an important treatment for coronary heart disease. However, the in-stent restenosis rate is still approximately 10–30% after stenting. Nickel ions from the stent are considered to be associated with in-stent restenosis. Therefore, in the present study, we quantitatively evaluated in-stent restenosis after implanting the novel high-nitrogen low-nickel coronary stent (HNS) and studied the mechanism underlying the reduction in in-stent restenosis by using ELISA and Western blot. The in vivo results showed that the HNS could significantly reduce neointima formation and inflammation as compared to SUS316L stents (316L) at 180 days after implantation in porcine coronary arteries and that vascular endothelial growth factor-A expression in porcine coronary arteries after HNS implantation also decreased. The in vitro results showed that, in the case of the HNS, human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation was lower and lesser IL-6 release was noted from HUVECs at one and three days after culture than in the 316L group. Furthermore, p-STAT3 expression in HUVECs on the HNS surface was downregulated after culture for seven days. Thus, we conclude that the HNS could be a promising alternative coronary stent for percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract
Nickel (Ni) is an environmental and occupational carcinogen, and exposure to Ni is associated with lung and nasal cancers in humans. Furthermore, Ni exposure is implicated in several lung diseases including chronic inflammatory airway diseases, asthma, and fibrosis. However, the mutagenic potential of Ni is low and does not correlate with its potent toxicity and carcinogenicity. Therefore, mechanisms underlying Ni exposure-associated diseases remain poorly understood. Since the health risks of environmental exposures often continue post exposure, understanding the exposure effects that persist after the termination of exposure could provide mechanistic insights into diseases. By examining the persistent effects of Ni exposure, we report that Ni induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and that the mesenchymal phenotype remains irreversible even after the termination of exposure. Ni-induced EMT was dependent on the irreversible upregulation of ZEB1, an EMT master regulator, via resolution of its promoter bivalency. ZEB1, upon activation, downregulated its repressors as well as the cell-cell adhesion molecule, E-cadherin, resulting in the cells undergoing EMT and switching to persistent mesenchymal status. ZEB1 depletion in cells exposed to Ni attenuated Ni-induced EMT. Moreover, Ni exposure did not induce EMT in ZEB1-depleted cells. Activation of EMT, during which the epithelial cells lose cell-cell adhesion and become migratory and invasive, plays a major role in asthma, fibrosis, and cancer and metastasis, lung diseases associated with Ni exposure. Therefore, our finding of irreversible epigenetic activation of ZEB1 by Ni exposure and the acquisition of persistent mesenchymal phenotype would have important implications in understanding Ni-induced diseases.

Abstract
Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) can be an oral chelator with pKa= 3.300±0.002. It behaves as a bidentate ligand at serum pH. The effect of pH on Ni2+-Tf indicated that the maximum adsorption was at pH=7.4. The effective Ni-PDTC binding constant was determined (logk=11.1±0.1) for the 1:2 Ni(PDTC)2 complex using UV-vis spectra. The isosbestic point at 298 indicated that the complexation reaction was done directly (without side reaction). Removal of Ni from transferrin (Tf) was investigated by reverse titration of PDTC at 25°C and pH=7.4 using UV-vis spectra. PDTC is able to remove 25% of Ni from human serum transferrin.

Abstract
Ni(II) stimulates innate immunity via the direct binding to human Toll Like Receptor 4 (hTLR4), the bacterial lypopolysaccharide receptor. The binding is specific for humans and causes nickel contact allergy. The protein sequence analysis of hTLR4 revealed that the ectodomain, the region supposed to coordinate the metal ions, contains a histidine-rich motif that is not conserved among all organisms. To elucidate the role of each histidine residue on the protein-nickel binding, we examined the formation of Ni(II) complexes with the model peptide NH2-FQHSNRKQMSERSVFRSRRNRIYRDISHTHTR-COO-, which encompasses the sequence 429-460 of hTLR4. The amino acid sequence of the peptide has been modified by the substitution of some selected lipophilic residues (Leu and Phe) with hydrophilic residues (Arg), aiming at increasing the peptide hydro solubility of the protein fragment. Potentiometric, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and circular dichroism (CD) measurements demonstrate that the non-conserved histidines in the ectodomain cooperate in metal coordination and consequently enable the activation of the molecular mechanism of nickel hypersensitivity reaction.

Abstract
While insoluble nickel subsulfide (Ni3 S2 ) was carcinogenic in the lung in a 2-year rat bioassay, soluble nickel sulfate hexahydrate (NiSO4* 6H2 O) was not. To investigate whether differences in the cellular responses to these two nickel compounds could underlie their differential activities, we conducted parallel studies to determine the gene expression changes in micro-dissected lung distal airway cells from Fischer 344 rats following inhalation of the two compounds for one and four weeks (6 hr per day, 5 days per week). The results of the Ni3 S2 study have been reported previously; this paper reports the results for NiSO4 and provides a comparative analysis. The cellular responses to NiSO4 were highly similar to those previously reported for Ni3 S2 , and a set of genes was identified whose expression could be used as biomarkers for comparing cellular nickel effects from in vitro or in vivo studies with soluble NiSO4 and particulate Ni3 S2 . Evaluation of the genomic concentration-responses for the two compounds suggests that the highest inhaled concentration in the tumor bioassay for NiSO4 , which was limited by toxicity, may not have achieved the Ni concentrations at which tumors were observed in the Ni3 S2 bioassay. However, several key differences in the immune responses to NiSO4 and Ni3 S2 were identified that may result from the differential intracellular disposition of Ni from NiSO4 entering the cell as an ion rather than as a slowly soluble Ni3 S2 particle. These differences may also contribute to the observation of tumors in the bioassay for Ni3 S2 but not NiSO4 . Environ. Mol.

Abstract
Even in the current era of growing technology, the concentration of heavy metals present in drinking water is still not within the recommended limits as set by the regulatory authorities in different countries of the world. Drinking water contaminated with heavy metals namely; arsenic, cadmium, nickel, mercury, chromium, zinc, and lead is becoming a major health concern for public and health care professionals. Occupational exposure to heavy metals is known to occur by the utilization of these metals in various industrial processes and/or contents including color pigments and alloys. However, the predominant source resulting in measurable human exposure to heavy metals is the consumption of contaminated drinking water and the resulting health issues may include cardiovascular disorders, neuronal damage, renal injuries, and risk of cancer and diabetes. The general mechanism involved in heavy metal-induced toxicity is recognized to be the production of reactive oxygen species resulting oxidative damage and health related adverse effects. Thus utilization of heavy metal-contaminated water is resulting in high morbidity and mortality rates all over the world. Thereby, feeling the need to raise the concerns about contribution of different heavy metals in various health related issues, this article has discussed the global contamination of drinking water with heavy metals to assess the health hazards associated with consumption of heavy metal-contaminated water. A relationship between exposure limits and ultimate responses produced as well as the major organs affected have been reviewed. Acute and chronic poisoning symptoms and mechanisms responsible for such toxicities have also been discussed.

Abstract
The toxicity of nickel and three of its main collectors, sodium isopropyl xanthate (SIPX), sodium ethyl xanthate (SEX), and potassium ethyl xanthate (PEX) to soil microbial activity, was analyzed, individually and as a binary combination of nickel and each of the collectors. The investigation was performed through the microcalorimetric analysis method. For the single chemicals, all power-time curves exhibited lag, exponential, stationary, and death phases of microbial growth. Different parameters exhibited a significant adverse effect of the analyzed chemicals on soil microbial activity, with a positive relationship between the inhibitory ratio and the chemical dose (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). A peak power reduction level of 24.23% was noted for 50 μg g-1 soil in the case of Ni while for the mineral collectors, only 5 μg g-1 soil and 50 μg g-1 soil induced a peak power reduction level of over 35 and 50%, respectively, in general. The inhibitory ratio ranged in the following order: PEX > SEX > SIPX > Ni. Similar behavior was observed with the mixture toxicity whose inhibitory ratio substantially decreased (maximum decrease of 38.35%) and slightly increased (maximum increase of 15.34%), in comparison with the single toxicity of mineral collectors and nickel, respectively. The inhibitory ratio of the mixture toxicity was positively correlated (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01) with the total dose of the mixture. In general, the lesser and higher toxic effects are those of mixtures containing SIPX and PEX, respectively.

Abstract
Co-Cr-W-Ni alloy (L605) with high tensile strength is used in coronary stents. The thickness of individual strut of the stent is reduced which can decrease the stent restenosis rate. However, about 10% Ni element content in L605 is found to cause allergic reactions and pulmonary embolism, similar to the traditional 316L stainless steel. In this study, a novel nickel-free cobalt-base alloy Co-20Cr-12Fe-18Mn-2Mo-4W-N (wt%) was designed and fabricated in order to efficiently avoid the potential hazards of Ni element. Fe and Mn, essential elements of human body, were added in the alloy to substitute part of Co element. In comparison to L605 alloy, the tensile strength of the new alloy was higher than 1000MPa while elongation was above 55%. The pitting potential of the new alloy was measured close to 1000mV, also higher than that of L605 alloy. CCK-8 test indicated that the cytotoxicity of the new alloy is grade 1, reflecting that Co-20Cr-12Fe-18Mn-2Mo-4W-N alloy has no cytotoxic effects. There was no significant difference in the apoptosis rates between Co-20Cr-12Fe-18Mn-2Mo-4W-N and L605 alloy. The newly developed cobalt-base alloy showed excellent mechanical, corrosion resistance and biological properties, which could make it a desirable material for future clinical investigations.

Abstract
AbstractA single crystal of Ni(II)bis(3,4 dimethoxybenzoate)bis(nicotinamide) dihydrate, formulated as C30H34N4NiO12 (I), was characterized in the solid state by infra-red (IR), ultra-violet (UV) and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis at 296 K as mononuclear with a distorted octahedral stereochemistry. The complex consists of a six-coordinate Nickel atom in a distorted octahedral environment constructed from two N atoms and four O atoms and crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C 2/c with a=27.7680(16) Å, b=8.5748(3) Å, c=17.8018(9) Å, α=90°, β=108.154(4)°, γ=90°, Z=4. The molecular structure and geometry was also optimized using the B3LYP density functional theory method employing the 6-31G(d) basis set. The molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), frontier molecular orbitals (FMO) analysis, nonlinear optical properties (NLO) and natural bond analysis (NBO), Mulliken population analyis, natural population analysis (NPA) and Fukui function analysis were also described.

Abstract
Among various methods adsorption can be efficiently employed for the treatment of heavy metal ions contaminated wastewater. In this context the authors reviewed variety of adsorbents used by various researchers for the removal of nickel(II) ions from aqueous environment. One of the objectives of this review article is to assemble the scattered available enlightenment on a wide range of potentially effective adsorbents for nickel(II) ions removal. This work critically assessed existing knowledge and research on the uptake of nickel by various adsorbents such as activated carbon, non-conventional low-cost materials, nanomaterials, composites and nanocomposites. The system's performance is evaluated with respect to the overall metal removal and the adsorption capacity. In addition, the equilibrium adsorption isotherms, kinetics and thermodynamics data as well as various optimal experimental conditions (solution pH, equilibrium contact time and dosage of adsorbent) of different adsorbents towards Ni(II) ions were also analyzed. It is evident from a literature survey of more than 190 published articles that agricultural solid waste materials, natural materials and biosorbents have demonstrated outstanding adsorption capabilities for Ni(II) ions.
