Association of phthalate exposure with type 2 diabetes and the mediating effect of oxidative stress: A case-control and computational toxicology study
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2024 Mar 18;274:116216. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116216. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPhthalic acid esters (PAEs) are widely used as plasticizers and have been suggested to engender adverse effects on glucose metabolism. However, epidemiological data regarding the PAE mixture on type 2 diabetes (T2DM), as well as the mediating role of oxidative stress are scarce. This case-control study enrolled 206 T2DM cases and 206 matched controls in Guangdong Province, southern China. The concentrations of eleven phthalate metabolites (mPAEs) and the oxidative stress biomarker 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-...

Early-life exposure to PM2.5 leads to ASD-like phenotype in male offspring rats through activation of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway
This study suggests that early postnatal exposure to PM2.5 is more susceptible to ASD-like phenotype in offspring than maternal pregnancy exposure and the activation of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway may represent underlying mechanisms.PMID:38503106 | DOI:10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116222 (Source: Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety)

Medium-term exposure to size-fractioned particulate matter and asthma exacerbations in China: A longitudinal study of asthmatics with poor medication adherence
CONCLUSION: This study suggests that medium-term exposure to PM is associated with an increased risk of asthma exacerbations in asthmatics with poor medication adherence, with a higher risk from smaller PM.PMID:38503107 | DOI:10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116234 (Source: Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety)

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) promotes Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) to aggravate liver fibrosis into cirrhosis and portal hypertension (PHT) via ROS/TGF- β1/Snail-1 signalling pathway in adult rats
CONCLUSION: DBP could influence the progression of EMT through its toxicological effect by ROS/TGF-β1/Snail-1 signalling pathway, causing cirrhosis and PHT in final. The findings of this research might contribute to a novel comprehension of the underlying toxicological mechanisms and animal model involved in the progression of cirrhosis and PHT, and potentially offered a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of the disease.PMID:38503108 | DOI:10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116124 (Source: Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety)

Bioaccumulation of molybdate ions by alkanotrophic Rhodococcus leads to significant alterations in cellular ultrastructure and physiology
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2024 Mar 18;274:116190. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116190. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlkanotrophic Rhodococcus strains from the Regional Specialised Collection of Alkanotrophic Microorganisms (acronym IEGM, www.iegmcol.ru) were screened for accumulation and sorption of MoO42- ions. Morphological and ultrastructural changes observed in bacterial cells during their cultivation in the molybdenum-containing medium are described. The species peculiarities, growth substrate preferences, and other physiological features allowing for the efficient removal of molybdate ions from the culture medium are di...

Lycium barbarum polysaccharide's protective effects against PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > -induced cellular senescence in HUVECs
In this study, we investigated the impact of PM2.5 exposure on vascular endothelial senescence and explored the intervention effects of LBP in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). We found that PM2.5 exposure dose-dependently reduced cell viability and proliferation in HUVECs while increasing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Additionally, PM2.5 exposure inhibited the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). Notably, PM2.5 exposure induced autophagy impairments and cellular senescence. However, LBP mitigated PM2.5-induced cell damage. Further st...

What do we know about dermal bioaccessibility of metals coated on antibacterial films?
This study reports on the important features that must be considered when assessing the bioaccessibility of Ag, Cu, and Zn in antibacterial films. Specifically, the effects of the artificial sweat component (i.e., amino acid and pH), surface weathering of antibacterial films, wipe sampling, and sebum were carefully examined. Our findings suggest that amino acids greatly affect bioaccessibility as amino acids act as ligands to facilitate metal ion leaching. In addition, constant exposure to ultraviolet C causes the film surface to oxidize, which significantly increases metal bioaccessibility due to the electrostatic repulsi...

Mechanistic insight into human androgen receptor-mediated endocrine disrupting potential of cyclic depsipeptide mycotoxin, beauvericin, and influencing environmental factors for its biosynthesis in Fusarium oxysporum KFCC 11363P on rice cereal
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2024 Mar 16;274:116227. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116227. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn current study, Fusarium mycotoxin, beauvericin (BEA), has endocrine disrupting potential through suppressing the exogenous androgen receptor (AR)-mediated transcriptional activation. BEA was classified as an AR antagonist, with IC30 and IC50 values indicating that it suppressed AR dimerization in the cytosol. BEA suppress the translocation of cytosolic activated ARs to the nucleus via exogenous androgens. Furthermore, we investigated the impact of environmental conditions for BEA production on rice cereal usi...

Environmental-related doses of afidopyropen induced toxicity effects in earthworms (Eisenia fetida)
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2024 Mar 16;274:116223. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116223. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAfidopyropen has high activity against pests. However, it poses potential risks to the soil ecology after entering the environment. The toxicity of afidopyropen to earthworms (Eisenia fetida) was studied for the first time in this study. The results showed that afidopyropen had low level of acute toxicity to E. fetida. Under the stimulation of chronic toxicity, the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) level activated the antioxidant and detoxification system, which led to the increase of superoxide dismutas...
