However, the mechanisms of REP, characterized by diffuse pulmonary fibrosis, are elusive. REP progression involves various signaling pathway networks comprising numerous cell types and cytokines. Acting as an important medium for communication between cells, exosomes are emerging as a major research topic. However, the role of exosomal lncRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs in REP remains unclear. In the present study, we conducted high-throughput RNA sequencing to generate long non-coding RNA(lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA) and mRNA profiles from the serum exosomes of nine patients with rare earth pneumoconiosis and nine healthy people. Our results identified a total of 94 lncRNAs, 93miRNAs, and 29 mRNAs were differentially expressed in the serum exosomes of patients with rare earth pneumoconiosis. Subsequently, Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis were used to analyze the differentially expressed RNAs. The abundant enriched GO terms of exosomal genes are cytoplasm, protein binding, cytoskeleton, Nuclear cytoplasmic transport, and KEGG pathways of exosomal genes included metabolic and cancer pathway, PI3K/Akt, wnt, mTOR, HIF-1, actin cytoskeleton and cell cycle and so on. RT-qPCR results showed that lnc-KCNMB2-AS1, hsa-miR-186-5p, hsa-miR-100-5p, hsa-miR-381-5p, NCOA4 and PLXDC1 were up-regulated, and lnc-TMEM151A, hsa-miR-758-5p and hsa-miR-6842-5p were significantly down-regulated in exosomes. In addition, our study fuond that the PI3K/Akt pathway was activated, and the expression level of miR-100-5p was increased synchronously in lung tissue of mice exposed to rare earth Nd<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>. In this study, PI3K/Akt pathway is significant helpful in elucidating the mechanism of REP. These findings can provide new insights into the mechanism of REP and develop a novel treatment strategy and biomarker.</p>","PeriodicalId":23206,"journal":{"name":"Toxicology letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142932720","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 manuscript provides a summary of the guidance on derivation of OBLs destined for scientists, risk assessors, and regulators who are tasked with establishing OBLs for regulatory purposes and implementing occupational biomonitoring programs. The derivation methodology follows a tiered approach based on the strength of evidence and quality of the data that we have labeled level of confidence. The tiered approach serves as a practical framework in occupational health risk assessment and management. We distinguish between four OBL levels depending on the strength of scientific evidence and confidence level: health-based derivation of OBL based on robust epidemiological data showing causal exposure-health effect relationship and Provisional OBL (POBL) based on robust toxicological animal data showing dose-response relationship as well as two assessment values which are not health based: reference levels in the general population (Reference OBL or (ROBL)), and Technical achievable OBL or (TOBL).

Yet, the acute exposure to other anaesthetics has been shown to induce early life stage-dependent toxicological outcomes. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the teratogenic effects of propofol at the 256-cell, 50 % epiboly and 1-4 somite stages following a 20 min exposure.

Mortality and developmental toxicity were then evaluated until 144 hpf, when the behaviour and oxidative-stress-related biomarkers were assessed. Exposure at the 256-cell stage resulted in a concentration-dependent increased number of abnormalities in head, fins and tail and a decreased body length as well as in changes in ATPase activity for the lowest concentration. On the other hand, exposure at later stages resulted in a decreased survival while no significant malformations were detected. Yet, exposure during the 50 % epiboly stage resulted in the increase of ROS levels as well as glutathione (GST and GSSG) levels while exposure at 1-4 somite stage resulted in increased DNA damage and ATPase alterations. The behaviour of zebrafish was similar among treatments.
