Ferroptosis is an emerging programmed cell death mechanism associated with spermatogenic disorders. Here, we examined how ferroptosis contributes to SiNP-induced male reproductive damage and assessed the regulatory role of the BRCA1/GPX4 axis in this context. GC-2spd cells were exposure to SiNPs with concentrations of 0, 10, and 20 μg/mL and RNA sequencing of GC-2spd cells was performed. Follow-up experiments were performed to validate the enrichment analysis findings. According to the bioinformatic analysis, after exposure to SiNPs, oxidative stress, ferroptosis and cell cycle pathway were markedly enriched. SiNPs triggered iron overload and significantly decreased the expression levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and glutathione (GSH) in GC-2spd cells, while upregulating malondialdehyde (MDA) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Of particular note, the ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) and a potent iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO) attenuated SiNPs-induced lipid peroxidation, iron overload and cytotoxicity. Of mechanistic importance, we found that BRCA1 targeted GPX4 as a pivotal factor in mediating ferroptosis triggered by SiNPs. Curcumin, the specifical activator of BRCA1, treatment significantly alleviate SiNPs-stimulated down-regulation on expressions of BRCA1 and GPX4. Our findings first emphasize that BRCA1/GPX4 signal-mediated ferroptosis was a factor in SiNPs-caused spermatocyte injury, which offers novel insights for clarifying the toxicity of SiNPs and for the safe application of SiNPs-related nanoproducts in the future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23159,"journal":{"name":"Toxicology","volume":"517 ","pages":"Article 154231"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144581281","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}

It is essential for neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity; however, excessive glutamate leads to neuronal toxicity, which is considered as a key mechanism contributing to neurodegeneration. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a key enzyme in ethanol metabolism, which converts the toxic alcohol metabolite acetaldehyde to acetate; meanwhile, ALDH2 is also important for the detoxification of other reactive aldehydes such as lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal. ALDH2 deficiency has been associated with the acceleration of neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment accompanied by increased brain oxidative damages. However, there is a lack of reports on how ALDH2 deficiency affects glutamate-induced cytotoxicity. In the present study, it was found that ALDH2-deficient N2a cells exhibited heightened susceptibility to glutamate, displaying aggravated oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and calcium imbalance in response to glutamate. ALDH2 deficiency led to reduced antioxidant capacity and elevated intracellular calcium concentration at basal state, thus predisposing the cells to a higher sensitivity to glutamate. Further analyses showed that ALDH2 deficiency elevated the expression of GluN1 subunit of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), which are major ionic glutamate receptors allowing the passage of calcium. Consistently, treatment with the NMDAR channel blocker MK-801 (100 μM) or knockdown of GluN1 reduced the susceptibility of <em>Aldh2</em><sup>-/-</sup> cells to glutamate, suggesting that the elevation of GluN1 was a key determinant for the increased sensitivity of ALDH2-deficient cells to glutamate-induced cytotoxicity.

Intriguingly, we identified autophagy activation as a key regulator of Cd-triggered ferroptosis, evidenced by increased LC3-II conversion and autophagic flux. Importantly, the protective effect of chloroquine (Cq) against Cd-induced cell death provides compelling evidence for the essential role of autophagic activation in mediating Cd-triggered ferroptosis.

Owing to the lack of traditional toxicology data on the majority of PFAS, novel testing methods that provide supporting information to inform human health impacts in a relatively short time frame will be increasingly important. The US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Transcriptomic Assessment Process (ETAP) was recently implemented by the Agency as an efficient and cost-effective method to begin assessing potential human health impacts of chemicals that lack traditional toxicity testing data. The method involves short-term oral dosing in male and female adult rats over a five-day interval, followed by transcriptomic dose-response assessment in twelve tissues to determine a point of departure. The ETAP point of departure identifies the dose at which there are no coordinated transcriptional changes that would indicate a potential toxicity of concern. However, this approach does not explore any specific association with hazard or mechanism.
