Furthermore, the study investigated the associated molecular mechanisms. Cell viability was assessed using the MTT assay, and flow cytometry was employed to evaluate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, alterations in mitochondrial membrane potential, and cytochrome c release. Lipid peroxidation levels, as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and caspase enzymes, were quantified using commercially available assay kits. Bcl-2, Bax, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression was quantified through western blotting. Moreover, animal experiments were performed to assess BL-induced retinal damage. The results revealed that irigenin protected against BL-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis in DA50062-laden hARPE-19 cells. Furthermore, irigenin upregulated Bcl-2 expression and downregulated Bax expression in BL-exposed DA50062-laden hARPE-19 cells. Hence, irigenin prevented cytochrome c release and inhibited BL-induced caspase-3 and caspase-9 activation in DA50062-laden hARPE-19 cells. Irigenin also effectively inhibited lipid peroxidation and ROS production in BL-exposed DA50062-laden hARPE-19 cells. Notably, irigenin upregulated Nrf2 expression, which, in turn, upregulated the expression of several antioxidative defense system, such as SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px, and HO-1 in BL-exposed DA50062-laden hARPE-19 cells. Animal studies showed that irigenin effectively protected against BL-induced retinal damage, as indicated by the increased thickness of the outer and inner nuclear layers in irigenin-treated groups compared to untreated controls. Taken together, the results suggest that irigenin inhibits the BL-induced intrinsic apoptotic pathway by activating the Nrf2-mediated antioxidative defense system.</p>","PeriodicalId":11756,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Toxicology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143515092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the objective of the current study was to evaluate the concentration- and time-dependent protective effect of NAC supplementation against Cd-induced granulosa cell toxicity in healthy caprine ovaries. The in vitro cultured ovaries/follicles were subjected to different cytotoxic (ethidium bromide and acridine orange [EB/AO] staining), histomorphological, and biochemical analyses during study. The results revealed that NAC treatment significantly attenuated the Cd-instigated cytotoxicity in granulosa cells, as evidenced by diminished apoptotic attributes in NAC co-supplemented groups compared to only Cd-exposed groups. Moreover, NAC markedly restored the decline in enzymatic activity of antioxidant enzymes (GST, SOD, and CAT), along with ferric reducing antioxidant power, further diminishing the formation of MDA in Cd exposed caprine ovary. The findings of this study indicated that Cd, being an ovarian toxicant, adversely affects the female reproductive system.

In nanomedicine, biomedical methodologies and nanomaterials are combined to develop novel and effective treatments for illnesses, infections, and cancer. The characteristics of nanotechnology are promising for addressing the urgent problems of modern cancer therapeutics, such as tumor recurrence, multidrug resistance, and the limited accessibility of drugs to tumor tissue. Plant-derived natural chemicals, termed phytochemicals, have bioactive characteristics, including anticarcinogenesis, promoted cell apoptosis, antioxidation, antiproliferation, and anti-inflammatory effects. Zingerone is a phenolic compound; it is one of the nonvolatile pungent constituents of ginger and has various pharmacological activities. Here, we fabricated phytochemical-derived zingerone nanoparticles (NPs) and explored their anti-cell viability and anti-tumorigenicity effects on human CRC LoVo and HCT116 cell lines. Moreover, zingerone NPs significantly inhibited cell viability and in vitro tumorigenicity. Next, flow cytometry analysis revealed that zingerone NPs markedly suppressed cell cycle progression in the G2/M phase compared to the G1/S phase and significantly promoted cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner in these CRC cell lines. Western blot analysis also suggested that zingerone NPs mediate cell apoptosis by upregulating caspase 3/PARP signaling. Additionally, zingerone NPs significantly restricted CDC25C-mediated CDK1/Cyclin B1 signaling activation in the G2/M phase and Cyclin D/CDK2/Cyclin A signaling downregulation in the G1/S phase. Zingerone NP-mediated p21 upregulation also decreased CDK activity and interfered with cell cycle progression. Indeed, TCGA data analysis also suggested that CDC25C and CDK1 upregulation were correlated with advanced tumor stage in colorectal cancer patients. Taken together, these results indicated that zingerone NPs significantly disrupt cell cycle progression and induce apoptosis in human CRC cells. Our findings indicate that phytochemical-derived zingerone NPs may serve as a potential chemopreventive adjuvant agent and therapeutic strategy for human colorectal cancer.</p>","PeriodicalId":11756,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Toxicology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143499826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, increasing studies have paid attention to the developmental neurotoxicity of B[a]P in offspring in their early life stages; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been clearly elucidated. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of prenatal B[a]P exposure on neurobehavior of pups during their brain growth spurt (BGS) period and also explore the potential underlying mechanisms. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were intraperitoneally exposed to 0, 10, 20, or 40 mg/kg-bw B[a]P for three consecutive days during embryonic days 17-19. The physiological development index of pups was observed, and a series of neurobehavioral tests assessing sensory and motor maturation were performed. The complexity of dendritic branches and the basal dendritic spine density of CA1 pyramidal neurons were examined using Golgi-Cox staining during PND 1-14. In addition, the mRNA and protein expression levels of hippocampal BDNF, SYP, Arc, PSD-95, DNMT1, and DNMT3a, and the level of 5-mC were detected using RT-qPCR, Western blotting, or immunohistochemical staining, respectively. We noted that prenatal B[a]P exposure induced body weight loss and neurobehavioral impairments in the early life stages. Furthermore, this study firstly revealed that maternal exposure to B[a]P impaired the dendritic arborization and complexity of pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus CA1 subfield in offspring during the early postnatal period, and the damage of B[a]P to basal dendritic spine density was also observed in a dose-dependent manner. Correspondingly, maternal exposure to B[a]P markedly reduced BDNF, Arc, SYP, and PSD-95 mRNA and protein levels in the offspring hippocampus. Meanwhile, the levels of hippocampal DNMT1, DNMT3a, and 5-mC significantly increased in the offspring prenatally exposed to B[a]P. In summary, this study firstly demonstrated that maternal B[a]P exposure induced neurobehavioral deficits by destroying the hippocampal synaptic ultrastructure, which was possibly associated with the downregulation of BDNF, Arc, SYP, and PSD95 in the hippocampus through increased DNMTs-mediated DNA methylation in offspring during the BGS period.</p>","PeriodicalId":11756,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Toxicology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143448582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
