This study aimed to investigate the cytotoxic effects of PM<sub>2.5</sub> on human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) and to elucidate the mechanisms involved in pyroptosis and necroptosis. HCECs were exposed to PM<sub>2.5</sub>, and cytotoxicity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and the expression of pyroptosis- and necroptosis-related proteins were assessed. The roles of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich-containing family, pyrin domain-containing-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome signaling pathways were also investigated. Exposure to PM<sub>2.5</sub> caused a dose-dependent decrease in cell viability, accompanied by significant NLRP3 inflammasome activation, leading to pyroptosis and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Enhanced ROS generation and mitochondrial dysfunction have also been observed, along with indicators of necroptosis, such as increased levels of mixed-lineage kinase domain-like proteins. Importantly, activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway was crucial for these responses. The suppression of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and activation of protein kinase B (Akt) using pharmacological modulators SB203580 and SC79, respectively, significantly reduced PM<sub>2.5</sub>-mediated cellular damage. These findings indicate that p38 MAPK inhibition and Akt activation are key regulatory mechanisms that help attenuate the deleterious effects of PM<sub>2.5</sub> on HCECs. In conclusion, our findings offer new insights into the mechanisms by which PM<sub>2.5</sub> induces pyroptosis and necroptosis in HCECs, especially by activating the NLRP3 inflammasome and NF-κB signaling pathways. The critical regulatory roles of p38 MAPK and Akt underscore their potential as therapeutic targets to alleviate PM-induced ocular damage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23159,"journal":{"name":"Toxicology","volume":"515 ","pages":"Article 154138"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143800343","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}

Moreover, its disruption of endocrine function and implications for antibiotic resistance underscore the urgent need to prioritize alternative solutions for both ecosystems and human health. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate a range of neurotoxic effects associated with atrazine-induced damage in the prefrontal lobe of mice. The results of this study indicate that treatment with ATR in C57BL/6 J mice resulted in cognitive-related behavioral deficits, including anxiety and depression, as well as motor impairments. In vivo analyses demonstrated that ATR exposure resulted in a reduction in neuronal synapse density at the microstructural level, while also compromising prefrontal morphological integrity, nociceptor count, and overall neuronal health within the brain. These findings collectively suggest that synaptic deficits are implicated in ATR-induced behavioral abnormalities observed in these mice. Furthermore, our findings revealed that ATR exposure resulted in elevated TDP-43 expression levels that were ectopically localized within the cytoplasm. This alteration led to impaired functionality of mRNP granules and contributed to the development of abnormal synaptic defects. Conversely, TDP-43 has the potential to localize ectopically to mitochondria, where it activates the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt), which ultimately results in mitochondrial dysfunction. These findings collectively indicate a strong correlation between TDP-43 dysregulation and the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Further investigation into the potential neurotoxicity of atrazine may foster heightened awareness, leading to more stringent regulatory measures, research into safer alternatives, and the adoption of sustainable practices, which are essential for safeguarding environmental integrity alongside human health.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23159,"journal":{"name":"Toxicology","volume":"515 ","pages":"Article 154128"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143804248","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}

This study used male SD rats as an animal model to investigate the hepatotoxicity of BPF and its effects on glucose and lipid metabolism. The results of the HE staining, serum and liver biochemical indicators show that BPF can damage the basic structure of the liver, cause liver dysfunction and lead to disorders of liver glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism. Furthermore, we conducted metabolomics and proteomics analyses on the livers of the BPF exposed group at 100 mg/kg/d in comparison with the control group. The results indicated that BPF exposure had a significant effect on liver metabolism. Combined with biological analysis and the validation of changes in genes and proteins related to glucose and lipid metabolism in the liver, it was elucidated that BPF can promote fatty acid oxidation and inhibit fatty acid synthesis through the AMPK and PPAR signaling pathways, leading to a reduction in fatty acids.
