The metabolism of NDMA produces formaldehyde, another alkylating agent and DBP. Both compounds are generated from natural and anthropogenic sources, but the safety restrictions applied to NDMA do not extend to the uses of formaldehyde. Hence, potential health and ecological risks are of concern. Due to limited information on the long-term effects of exposure to these compounds at environmentally relevant concentrations, this work aimed to compare the transgenerational reproductive and developmental toxicity of separate exposures to NDMA or its metabolite formaldehyde in Drosophila melanogaster over four generations. The parental flies were fed NDMA or formaldehyde (1.19E-06 to 5 mM) for 48 h during the third larval instar. Subsequent offspring (F1-F3) were grown under compound-free conditions. In the parental generation, both exposures modified the time to emergence and reduced the number of progenies. NDMA, but not formaldehyde, was lethal, affected fertility, and weakly induced malformations. In the next generations, both exposures induced malformed flies and modified the number of offspring. Reproductive toxicity and malformations were maintained for at least three generations, suggesting that detrimental effects could extend to unexposed offspring. This is the first study reporting the associated individual transgenerational effects on reproduction and development between NDMA and its metabolite formaldehyde in D. melanogaster, highlighting the relevance of evaluating multiple generations to accurately determine the health and environmental risks of pollutants.","PeriodicalId":15242,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Toxicology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142949499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As part of the safety assessment for this particular recombinant humanized type III (RHTypeIII) collagen produced by Komagataella phaffii SMD1168-2COL3, a series of toxicological tests were conducted. This collagen has ≥ 90% amino acid sequence homology to bovine and porcine collagen. The RHTypeIII collagen showed no evidence of genotoxic potential in a battery of tests. It was not toxic in an acute oral study, with no effects at 10 g/kg BW. The RHTypeIII collagen was not developmentally toxic in Sprague Dawley (SD) rat, and the NOAEL was 4.5 g/kg BW/day. In a 90-day oral gavage study in rats, there were no adverse findings observed; therefore, the high dose level (4.5 g/kg BW/day) was considered the NOAEL. The protein sequence was subjected to homology searches against the AllergenOnline database (sliding 80-amino acid windows and full sequence searches). From the 80-amino acid alignment searches, 23 significant matches were identified (> 35% identity and E value < 1 × 10-7) to allergens of bovine, fish, anisakis, feverfew pollen, ragweed pollen, and wheat origin. Although matches were identified, further assessment of the in silico results combined with a literature review demonstrates that the risk of allergenic cross-reactivity for this collagen is low. These results demonstrate RHTypeIII collagen is not toxic and unlikely to present a risk of allergy when used as a food ingredient.","PeriodicalId":15242,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Toxicology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142921136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, the anti-inflammatory effects of a natural dietary polyphenol tannic acid (TA) were also explored. In human normal bronchial (BEAS-2B), adenocarcinoma alveolar basal (A549), and murine macrophages (J774) cell lines, a trivalent form of As (as As3+) exposure markedly induced the expression of various pro-inflammatory mediators (cytokines and chemokines). Additionally, it was found that As3+ exposure induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and activation of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) p65 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 pathways in BEAS-2B cells. As expected, the blockade of either ERK1/2 (PD98059) or NF-kB p65 (IMD0354), or both pathways attenuated As3+-induced pro-inflammatory mediators release. Interestingly, pre-treatment with ROS inhibitor N-acetylcysteine (NAC) attenuated activation of ERK/NF-kB pathways, suggesting that ROS have a critical role in pathway's activation and subsequent inflammatory response. Further, TA pre-treatment effectively attenuated As3+-induced inflammatory response by suppressing ROS production and ERK/NF-kB signaling pathways activation. Therefore, this study provides scientific evidence for the anti-inflammatory activities of TA and the underlying molecular mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":15242,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Toxicology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143005773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study was designed to evaluate the potential toxicity of oral DHA. DHA was administered orally by gavage to SD rats at doses of 0, 25, 50, and 75/60 mg/kg b.w./day for 28 days, followed by a 4-week recovery period. Concomitant toxicokinetics was also evaluated. Due to potential toxicity affecting survival, only the female top dose was adjusted from 75 to 60 mg/kg on study day 14 (D14). Female rats in the low-dose group and male rats in the low- and medium-dose groups did not show any signs of toxicity. In contrast, male rats in the high-dose group and female rats in the medium- and high-dose groups showed significant toxic effects, including weight loss, hair loss, and gastrointestinal reactions (soft stools, perianal dirt, and fecal abnormalities). At the end of administration, female rats in the 75/60 (dose-adjusted) mg/kg dose group had significantly higher reticulocytes (Ret% and RETIC) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), increased liver weights, and significantly lower hemoglobin (HGB). In addition, histopathology showed mild vacuolation of hepatocytes. These findings suggest that female rats have a greater toxic response than males, and toxicokinetics further demonstrate this sex difference. However, the toxic effects of DHA were reversed at the end of the 4-week recovery period. Therefore, the liver was identified as the primary target organ.

However, research on the mechanism of environmental factors and ASD is still in its infancy. On this basis, we conducted a literature search and analysis to review epidemiological studies on the correlation between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and inhalable particulate matter (PM10) and ASD. The signaling pathways and pathogenic mechanisms of PM in synaptic injury and neuroinflammation are presented, and the mechanism of the ASD candidate gene SHANK3 was reviewed. Additionally, the different sites of action of different particles in animal models and humans were highlighted, and the differences of their effects on the pathogenesis of ASD were explained.

In this work, we systematically evaluated the in vivo acute toxicity and subchronic oral toxicity of RFa in both male and female Kunming mice. During the 14-day acute toxicity test, the dose administered (M = 580 mg/kg) was converted from the clinical dose of adsorbed alkaloids on RFa. The mice were gavaged only once and were observed continuously for 14 days. There were no abnormalities, and pathological changes in the major organs (heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, testes, and ovaries) were detected, followed by the 12-week subchronic toxicity test at the dose of 1/4M, 1/2M, and M. All mice were administered orally once daily and regularly observed throughout the experimental period. As a result, no abnormalities were found in body weights, food intake, and organ coefficients. Tissue section revealed no pathological changes in the major organs. In addition, there were no significant differences in hematological, blood biochemical, and coagulation parameters in both male and female mice compared to control group. These results showed that RFa was well tolerated at these dosage levels and did not cause significant toxic effects in Kunming mice.

Although clinical investigations have shown that administering zotepine is associated with an increased prevalence of hyperglycemia and a heightened risk of cardiovascular disease, the side effects of zotepine on voltage-gated K+ (Kv) channels have not been established. Zotepine suppressed the vascular Kv channels in rabbit coronary arterial smooth muscle cells in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 5.3 ± 0.4 μM and a Hill coefficient of 1.6 ± 0.2. The decay rate of inactivation was significantly accelerated by zotepine. Applying zotepine (10 μM) shifted the steady-state inactivation curve in a negative direction. Applying train pulses at 1 and 2 Hz resulted in a progressive increase in blockage of the Kv currents by zotepine. Furthermore, zotepine prolonged the recovery time from inactivation. Although pretreatment with the Kv2.1 subtype inhibitor stromatoxin-1 and the Kv7 subtype inhibitor linopirdine did not change the degree of zotepine-induced inhibition of Kv currents, pretreatment with the Kv1.5 channel inhibitor DPO-1 decreased the inhibitory effects of zotepine on Kv currents. Zotepine also induced membrane depolarization. These results indicate that zotepine inhibits Kv currents (mainly Kv1.5 subtype) in dose-, time-, and use (state)-dependent manners by changing the steady-state inactivation curve.","PeriodicalId":15242,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Toxicology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142800307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
