Thus, an experiment was carried out involving rats, with single and repeated intratracheal exposure (in the latter case, 7 administrations at 2-week intervals with the analysis performed after 90 days) to lower (1.5 mg Mo kg −1 b.w.) and higher (5 mg Mo kg −1 b.w.) doses of molybdenum(IV) sulfide nanoparticles (MoS 2 -NPs) and microparticles (MoS 2 -MPs). The analysis of Mo concentrations in the tail and heart blood as well as in soft tissues (lung, liver, spleen, brain), after mineralization and bioimaging, was meant to facilitate an assessment of its accumulation and potential effects on the body following short- and long-term exposure. The multi-compartment model with an exponential curve of Mo concentration over time with different half-lives for the distribution and elimination phases of MoS 2 -MPs and MoS 2 -NPs was observed. After 24 h of exposure, a slight increase in Mo concentration in blood was observed. Next, Mo concentration indicated a decrease in blood concentration from 24 h to day 14 (the Mo concentration before the second administration), below the pre-exposure concentration. The next phase was linear, less abrupt and practically flat, but with an increasing trend towards the end of the experiment. Significantly higher Mo concentrations in MoS 2 -NPs and MoS 2 -MPs was found in the lungs of repeatedly exposed rats compared to those exposed to a single dose. The analysis of Mo content in the liver and the spleen tissue showed a slightly higher concentration for MoS 2 -NPs compared to MoS 2 -MPs. The results for the brain were below the calculated detection limit. Results were consistent with results obtained by bioimaging technique.","PeriodicalId":23181,"journal":{"name":"Toxicological Research","volume":"25 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134991641","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}

Unfortunately, the clinical administration of 5-FU is complicated with serious cardiotoxic effects and the safe use becomes an urgent task in cardio-oncology. Till now, there are no studies discussed the role of empagliflozin (EMP) against 5-FU cardiotoxicity. Thus, we investigated this effect and the involved mechanisms in 5-FU induced heart injury. Forty male rats of Wistar albino species were used and divided randomly into four groups. Group I is the control group, group II is EMP given group, group III is 5-FU cardiotoxic group and group IV is 5-FU plus EMP group. 5-FU (150 mg/kg) was administered as a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) dose on 1st day to induce cardiotoxicity with or without EMP (30 mg/kg/d) orally for 5 days. The dose of 5-FU is relevant to the human toxic dose. Our data showed that 5-FU given group caused cardiotoxicity with significant increase of serum cardiac enzymes, toll like receptors, enhancement of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), interleukin1β (IL1β), IL6, myeloid-differentiation-factor 88 (MYD88), heart weight, malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor-necrosis-factor-alpha (TNFα), sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2), P53 and caspase3 expression with clear histopathological features of cardiotoxicity. Moreover, there is a significant decrease in reduced glutathione (GSH) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). Interestingly, co-administration of EMP could ameliorate 5-FU induced biochemical and histopathological changes. This effect may be due to modulation of SGLT2, decreasing inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis with downregulation of an essential inflammatory cascade that mediates 5-FU cardiotoxicity; TNFα/TLR/NF-κB.","PeriodicalId":23181,"journal":{"name":"Toxicological Research","volume":"201 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135738937","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}

Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), an oncogene associated with the development and progression of breast cancer, is downregulated by the Hippo pathway and is associated with the development and progression of breast cancer. Yippee-like 3 (YPEL3) is a target gene of the tumor suppressor protein p53, and its activation has been shown to inhibit cell growth, induce cellular senescence, and suppress tumor cell metastasis. In this study, we found that YAP1 inhibits the expression of YPEL3 expression in breast cancer cells. Furthermore, a decrease in lamin B1, a marker protein of cellular senescence, coupled with the activation of senescence-associated β-galactosidase indicated that upregulating YPEL3 levels through YAP1 downregulation can induce cellular senescence. Additionally, elevated YPEL3 levels resulted in higher levels of oxygen consumption rate in mitochondria, thus promoting apoptosis. This suggests that YPEL3 plays a crucial role in regulating oxidative stress and cell apoptosis in breast cancer cells. Therefore, the interaction between YAP1 and YPEL3 represents a novel mechanism of cellular senescence mediated by the Hippo signaling pathway. Collectively, our findings suggest that the Hippo signaling pathway plays an important role in regulating cellular senescence, which could have implications for the development of new therapeutic strategies for diseases such as cancer.</p>","PeriodicalId":23181,"journal":{"name":"Toxicological Research","volume":"39 4","pages":"711-719"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10541347/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41178390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
