CS exposure during pregnancy can adversely affect the fetus. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered as a hepatic manifestation of a metabolic disorder, and ranges from simple steatosis to cirrhosis leading to hepatocellular carcinoma. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a more severe phase of NAFLD. Recently, there is increasing apprehension about the CS-related chronic liver diseases. Therefore, we examined whether maternal CS exposure could affect the pathogenesis of NASH in offspring. Mainstream CS (MSCS) was exposed to pregnant C57BL/6 mice via nose-only inhalation for 2 h/day, 5 days/week for 2 weeks from day 6 to 17 of gestation at 0, 300, or 600 μg/L. Three-week-old male offspring mice were fed methionine and choline-supplemented (MCS) diet or methionine and choline-deficient including high-fat (MCDHF) diet for 6 weeks to induce NASH. Maternal MSCS exposure increased the severity of NASH by increasing serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, hepatic total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) levels, pro-inflammation, fibrosis, and steatosis in offspring mice. Especially, maternal MSCS exposure significantly downregulated the phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in MCDHF diet-fed offspring mice. Subsequently, the protein levels of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1c and stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) were upregulated by maternal MSCS exposure. In conclusion, maternal MSCS exposure exacerbates the progression of NASH by modulating lipogenesis on offspring mice.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s43188-022-00153-1.</p>","PeriodicalId":23181,"journal":{"name":"Toxicological Research","volume":"39 1","pages":"91-103"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9839905/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9194687","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}

Several studies suggested that TMS may act as a potent anti-cancer agent for hormone-related cancer including cervical cancer. Nutlin-3a is a cis-imidazoline analog that interferes with the interaction between mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2) and the tumor suppressor p53. The purpose of the study was to compare the cytotoxic effect of TMS and nutlin-3a treatment individually and in combination in HeLa cells. To assess the potential synergistic effects between TMS and nutlin-3a, low concentrations of TMS and nutlin-3a were simultaneously treated in HeLa cells. Based on cell viability, apoptosis assays, and the increase in cleaved caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, it was demonstrated that the combination with TMS and nutlin-3a exerts a synergistic effect on cancer cell death. Isobologram analysis of HeLa cells noted synergism between TMS and nutlin-3a. The combined treatment increased the expression of mitochondrial pro-apoptotic factors such as Bax and Bak, and decreased the expression of the XIAP. In addition, combination treatment significantly enhanced the translocation of AIF to the nucleus in HeLa cells.

Moreover, the comparative study using both male and female animal models is sparse. To examine the effect of FS on the behavioral features of mice, both sexes of ICR mice were induced with hyperthermic seizures through exposure to an infrared heat lamp. The mice were divided into two groups, one receiving a single febrile seizure at postnatal day 11 (P11) and one receiving three FS at P11, P13, and P15. Starting at P30 the FS-induced mice were subjected to a series of behavioral tests. Mice with seizures showed no locomotor and motor coordination deficits, repetitive, and depressive-like behavior. However, the FS-induced mice showed impulsive-like behavior in both elevated plus maze and cliff avoidance tests, which is more prominent in male mice. A greater number of mice displayed impaired CAT in both males and females in the three-time FS-induced group compared to the single induction group. These results demonstrate that after induction of FS, male mice have a higher susceptibility to consequences of febrile seizure than female mice and recurrent febrile seizure has a higher chance of subsequent disorders associated with decreased anxiety and increased impulsivity. We confirmed the dysregulated expression of impulsivity-related genes such as 5-HT1A and tryptophan hydroxylase 2 from the prefrontal cortices of FS-induced mice implying that the 5-HT system would be one of the mechanisms underlying the increased impulsivity after FS.
