Abstract
Pesticides used in agriculture to control pests can also affect non-target animals, such as livestock and humans, through exposure. Pesticide residues found in animal-derived products like milk serve as evidence of exposure in mammals and may pose health risks due to bioaccumulation. Understanding the mechanisms of elimination and toxicity of pesticides is essential to minimize their negative impact. The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter ABCG2 is a membrane protein involved in xenobiotic biodisposition and milk secretion. Our purpose was to evaluate its role in the in vitro transport and secretion into milk of two pesticides: chlorantraniliprole and imidacloprid. Using MDCK–II cells transduced with ABCG2, we found that they are effectively transported by murine, ovine and bovine ABCG2. In vivo studies using wild-type and Abcg2-/- mice showed that milk concentration of chlorantraniliprole was affected by Abcg2, potentially leading to toxicological effects and contributing to unwanted xenobiotic residues in milk.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology publishes the results of studies concerning toxic and pharmacological effects of (human and veterinary) drugs and of environmental contaminants in animals and man.
Areas of special interest are: molecular mechanisms of toxicity, biotransformation and toxicokinetics (including toxicokinetic modelling), molecular, biochemical and physiological mechanisms explaining differences in sensitivity between species and individuals, the characterisation of pathophysiological models and mechanisms involved in the development of effects and the identification of biological markers that can be used to study exposure and effects in man and animals.
In addition to full length papers, short communications, full-length reviews and mini-reviews, Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology will publish in depth assessments of special problem areas. The latter publications may exceed the length of a full length paper three to fourfold. A basic requirement is that the assessments are made under the auspices of international groups of leading experts in the fields concerned. The information examined may either consist of data that were already published, or of new data that were obtained within the framework of collaborative research programmes. Provision is also made for the acceptance of minireviews on (classes of) compounds, toxicities or mechanisms, debating recent advances in rapidly developing fields that fall within the scope of the journal.
