Lycopene (LYC) is a potent bioactive compound that alleviates SMZ-induced toxicity by regulating the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress autophagy axis. This experiment chooses 120 grass carps, divided into 4 groups: control group (CON), SMZ exposure group (0.3 μg/L), the LYC supplement group (10 mg/kg) and SMZ + LYC combined treatment group. The toxicity of SMZ (0.3 μg/L) to grass carp and the mitigation effect of LYC (10 mg/kg) to SMZ were studied through a 30-day experiment. Histopathological alterations were evaluated via hematoxylin-eosin (H&amp;E) staining, ultrastructural changes were visualized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and key biomarkers of ER stress, autophagy, and AKT/AMPK signaling were quantified through qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Results demonstrated that SMZ exposure induced disorganization of white pulp, cellular vacuolation, and activation of melanomacrophage centers (MMCs), accompanied by significant upregulation of ER stress markers (IRE1, PERK, ATF6, GRP78, eif2α) and autophagy-related genes (LC3, P62, Beclin1, ATG5).

Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations were utilized to decipher the mechanism underlying ROS inhibition.

VC also upregulated the activity of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2), a key regulator of ROS production. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations revealed that VC competitively binds to the LYS 38 and LYS 240 sites of UCP2, destabilizing FLZ-UCP2 interactions via steric hindrance and hydrogen bond competition.

This study aims to investigate the effects of PCB153 exposure on the zebrafish nervous system, particularly its potential mechanism in inducing epileptic-like behaviors. Zebrafish at 6 h post-fertilization (hpf) were exposed to PCB153 solutions at concentrations of 1 μM, 5 μM, and 10 μM via waterborne exposure. The results indicated that PCB153 exposure significantly altered zebrafish locomotor activity and light/dark transition behaviors, with a marked presence of epileptic-like behaviors, especially in the high-concentration groups (5 μM and 10 μM). Further molecular analysis revealed that PCB153 exposure led to alterations in the expression of genes related to the GABAergic signaling pathway, particularly the upregulation of gad2 and the downregulation of GABA receptor genes. These findings suggest that PCB153 may disrupt the GABA system, resulting in an imbalance between excitation and inhibition in the nervous system, thus triggering epileptic-like behaviors. Additionally, treatment with SAHA (histone deacetylase inhibitor) showed neuroprotective effects, alleviating the epileptic-like behaviors induced by PCB153. Transcriptome sequencing further identified extensive changes in gene expression, predominantly in pathways associated with neuronal function and development. In conclusion, PCB153 exposure disrupts the GABAergic neurotransmitter system, which may be a key mechanism underlying the epileptic-like behaviors in zebrafish, and SAHA treatment could potentially have therapeutic effects.

The findings indicated that the re-enter water effectively mitigated the negative impacts of high-temperature air exposure on both antioxidant and immune capacities. Following treatment with high-temperature air, levels of acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were significantly elevated compared to their baseline values (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05), followed by a decline as re-enter water started with recovery to baseline levels detected at 24 h after re-enter water. Additionally, the levels of heat shock proteins <em>HSP90</em> and <em>HSP70</em> exhibited a notable rise after being subjected to high-temperature air. Nevertheless, after 24 h of soaking treatment, these levels reverted to values similar to those recorded initially. However, after re-enter water treatment, the changes in intestinal microbial composition and metabolic level caused by high temperature air exposure were not effectively improved. The analysis of intestinal microbiota revealed that the relative abundance of <em>Bacteroidetes</em> in the recovery group was significantly lower compared to the initial group, whereas the relative abundances of <em>Proteobacteria</em> and <em>Firmicutes</em> were found to be higher than those in the initial group. Concurrently, metabolomics analysis indicated a significant increase in palmitic acid metabolism levels within the high-temperature air group (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05), while glycine content showed a notable decrease (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05), and the metabolic changes caused by high temperature air exposure was still not fully recovered after re-enter water.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10602,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology C-toxicology & Pharmacology","volume":"296 ","pages":"Article 110232"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144168933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These nanoformulations enhance the targeting of active ingredients, reduce the amount of pesticide applied, and may reduce impacts on non-target organisms. Thus, the effects of geraniol (GER), nanoencapsulated geraniol (nGER), and zein nanocapsules (NANO) were evaluated on <em>Aquarana catesbeiana</em> tadpoles after 24 and 96 h exposure. Animals exhibited distinct physiological responses. GER caused pronounced metabolic disruption, including glycogen depletion, hyperglycemia, and neurotoxicity (brain acetylcholinesterase hyperactivity). nGER reduced acute metabolic stress but elicited intermediate effects, such as immunosuppression (lymphocyte reduction), ionic imbalance (elevated plasma K<sup>+</sup>), and muscle acetylcholinesterase inhibition. The empty nanocapsules (NANO) induced transient osmoregulatory disturbances (increased plasma Na<sup>+</sup> and gill H<sup>+</sup>-ATPase/Ca<sup>2+</sup>-ATPase activity) and caused neurotoxicity after 96 h (55 % brain acetylcholinesterase inhibition). The Integrated Biomarker Response index (IBR) validated the toxicity ranking: GER &gt; nGER &gt; NANO. Therefore, nanoencapsulated geraniol cannot yet be considered safe for <em>A. catesbeiana</em> tadpoles, as the toxicity of individual components and the behavior of nanoparticles in aquatic environments must be considered.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10602,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology C-toxicology & Pharmacology","volume":"296 ","pages":"Article 110231"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144154403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
