Fluoxetine treated (Group II) received 24 mg/kg/day of fluoxetine dissolved in 1.0 mL of tap water once a day. Fluoxetine group treated with ADSCs (Group III) received fluoxetine as group (II) for 30 days and then was injected once by ADSCs at a dose of 1 × 106 cells/rat in the tail vein suspended in 0.5 ml of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Recovery group (Group IV) received fluoxetine for 30 days and then received no treatment till the end of the experiment. Results: The ultrastructural observations of the fluoxetine-treated group revealed major histological changes in both the pars distalis and nervosa. Pars distalis revealed cells with different shapes, sizes, nuclei, and variable profiles of the cytoplasm. Pars nervosa, on the other hand, revealed pituicytes with electron-lucent cytoplasm and small apoptotic nuclei. Administration of ADSCs greatly improved the microscopic appearance of cells, while the recovery group showed similar histological changes as the fluoxetine group. Conclusion: Fluoxetine caused various deleterious changes in the pituitary gland of albino rats, as evidenced by electron microscopy.

Most of the environmental contamination and human exposure result from anthropogenic activities such as mining and smelting. The industrial and agricultural sectors also play a big role. Cigarette smoke in particular contains trace amounts of heavy metals that put chronic smokers at serious risk. Previous studies have determined that there is a strong correlation between heavy metal exposure and adverse effects on the coagulation system. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cadmium, lead and chromium alone and in combination on erythrocytes and fibrin networks that form part of the coagulation system as well as the viscoelastic properties of thrombus formation by using thromboelastography®. The choice of metals for this study was based on a previous study that compared the levels of metals between smokers and nonsmokers and found significantly higher levels of cadmium, lead and chromium in the platelet-rich fibrin of smoking individuals. Scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed that the cadmium and chromium combination groups caused the highest degree of echinocyte formation and fibrin network alterations. These findings were supported by the thromboelastography® analysis that indicated a significant decrease in reaction-time and split point values for the chromium-containing group, suggesting a shorter initiation time for clot formation. The findings of this study support the hypothesis that the coagulation pathway is a potential target for heavy metal toxicity.","PeriodicalId":23430,"journal":{"name":"Ultrastructural Pathology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49148864","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}

The current study aimed to delineate the histomorphological changes and the molecular mechanisms underlying the ameliorative effect of Resveratrol (RSV) on rats’ livers exposed to AgNPs. Fifty healthy adult male Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: control, AgNPs-exposed, RSV-treated after AgNPs exposure, and recovery groups. Liver sections were examined by light and electron microscopes, and immunohistochemistry was performed for detection of activated caspase3 and TNFα. Serum ALT and AST, plasma levels of TNFα, IL-6, GSH and SOD were measured. mRNA expression of SIRT1, ADORA3, PAI, CDK1, Nrf2 and NFκB genes in liver tissue homogenate was performed using qRT-PCR. AgNPs-exposure for 28 days caused marked liver tissue damage with trapping in hepatocytes and Kupffer cells, while RSV treatment ameliorated liver ultrastructure and function. Our results clarified the molecular basis of RSV ameliorative effect on liver tissue by significant upregulation of SIRT1-NrF2 signaling pathway with increased levels of the antioxidant GSH and SOD, which represent the antioxidant effect of RSV. Significant upregulation of the protective ADORA3 with downregulation of the proinflammatory PAI-1 and NFκB mRNA expression levels besides decreased plasma levels of TNFα, IL-6 and decreased immunoexpression of TNFα in liver tissue, represent the anti-inflammatory effect of RSV. In addition, decreased immunoexpression of caspase3 and downregulation of CDK1 expression, represent its antiapoptotic effect. In conclusion: RSV ameliorates AgNPs-induced liver damage by antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects.
