Mechanistic insights into the adaptive evolvability of spore heat resistance in Bacillus cereus sensu lato
Int J Food Microbiol. 2024 Apr 15;418:110709. doi: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2024.110709. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWet heat treatment is a commonly applied method in the food and medical industries for the inactivation of microorganisms, and bacterial spores in particular. While many studies have delved into the mechanisms underlying wet heat killing and spore resistance, little attention has so far been dedicated to the capacity of spore-forming bacteria to tune their resistance through adaptive evolution. Nevertheless, a recent study from our group revealed that a psychrotrophic strain of the Bacillus cereus sensu lato ...

Network toxicology and molecular docking for the toxicity analysis of food contaminants: A case of Aflatoxin B < sub > 1 < /sub >
Food Chem Toxicol. 2024 Apr 23:114687. doi: 10.1016/j.fct.2024.114687. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study aims to promote network toxicology and molecular docking strategies for the efficient evaluation of the toxicity of food contaminants. With the example of liver injury induced by the food contaminant Aflatoxin B1(AFB1), this study effectively investigated the putative toxicity of food contaminants and the potentially molecular mechanisms. The study found that AFB1 regulates multiple signalling pathways by modulating core targets such as AKT1, BCL2, TNF, CASP3, SRC, and EGFR. These pathways encompass Pathwa...

Effects of Nanomolar Methylmercury on developing Human Neural Stem Cells and Zebrafish Embryo
This study shows that the ZF model was more susceptible than NSC to MeHg neurotoxicity. The combination of different models has improved the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of toxicity and possible compensatory mechanisms at the cellular and organismal level.PMID:38663761 | DOI:10.1016/j.fct.2024.114684 (Source: Food and Chemical Toxicology)

Identification of sensitive endpoints for the assessment of phthalates-induced reproductive and developmental toxicity: a literature mining study
Food Chem Toxicol. 2024 Apr 23:114686. doi: 10.1016/j.fct.2024.114686. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), two common types of phthalates, are known to cause reproductive and developmental toxicity in animals and humans. The reference doses (RfD) of DBP and DEHP should be determined by sensitive endpoints. We here aimed to identify sensitive endpoints for DBP- and DEHP-induced such toxicity using published literatures. By examining the impacts of maternal exposure to DBP or DEHP on anogenital distance (AGD) and semen quality of offspring, we discovered that DBP or DE...

Retinal toxicity of heavy metals and its involvement into retinal pathology
The objective of the present review is to discuss epidemiological evidence demonstrating the association between toxic metal (Cd, Pb, Hg, As, Sn, Ti, Tl) exposure and retinal pathology, along with the potential underlying molecular mechanisms. Epidemiological studies demonstrate that Cd, and to a lesser extent Pb exposure, are associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), while the existing evidence on the levels of these metals in patients with diabetic retinopathy is scarce. Epidemiological data on the association between other toxic metals and metalloids including mercury (Hg) and arsenic (As), are limited. Cl...

Protective Effect of Egg Yolk Lipids against Dextran Sulfate Sodium ‐Induced Colitis: The Key Role of Gut Microbiota and Short‐Chain Fatty Acids
Egg yolk lipids alleviate DSS-induced colitis by regulating gut microbiota and increasing SCFAs production. NLRP3(NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3). AbstractEgg yolk lipids significantly alleviate dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome, reversing gut microbiota dysbiosis, and increasing short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) concentrations. However, the role of gut microbiota and the relationship between SCFAs and NLRP3 inflammasome are still unknown. Here, this study confirms that antibiotic treatment abolishes the protective effect of egg yolk lipids on DSS-induced coloni...

The Relationship between Diet, Gut Mycobiome, and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders: Evidence, Doubts, and Prospects
Dietary ingredients and patterns have the potential to regulate the structure of gut fungi. The relationship between mycobiome and diet may have important implications for the pathogenesis of funcitonal gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). AbstractGut fungi are important parts of intestinal microbes. Dietary ingredients have the potential to regulate the structure of gut fungi in different directions and modulate mycobiome composition by changing dietary patterns, which have been applied to neurological disorders. Emerging pieces of evidence have revealed the regulatory functions of gut mycobiome in gastrointestinal disease...
