During early pregnancy, the endometrial decidualization process is critical for embryo implantation. Abnormal decidualization can lead to implantation failure, aberrant placental formation, and pregnancy loss. We previously revealed that BaP exposure impaired decidualization and implantation in mice, yet the underlying mechanisms remained elusive. Autophagy, a cellular mechanism pivotal for energy and material recycling, contributes to the decidualization process. The chemokine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12), secreted by endometrium stromal cells (ESCs), is involved in regulating endometrial decidualization and autophagy. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the hypothesis that BaP disrupts the decidualization process by interfering with autophagic pathways via the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis during early pregnancy. We found that BaP inhibited CXCL12/CXCR4 expression, and induced autophagy by promoting autophagosome formation, which in turn impaired the decidualization in early pregnant mice uterus and decidual stromal cells (DSCs). Using autophagy inhibitors 3-methyladenine and chloroquine in combination with BaP to treat DSCs, successfully weakened BaP-induced autophagy, and relieved decidual injury. Additionally, activation of CXCL12/CXCR4 by recombinant protein CXCL12 attenuated BaP-induced autophagy, inhibited the PI3K/AKT signal activation caused by BaP, and partly rescued the expression of decidualization-related genes. In summary, this study demonstrates that BaP induces autophagy in DSCs by inhibiting the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis, leading to damage in endometrial decidualization during early pregnancy. The findings provide a critical chemokine-mediated regulatory mechanism involved in embryo implantation and contribute valuable knowledge to the reproductive toxicology of BaP.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":274,"journal":{"name":"Chemico-Biological Interactions","volume":"405 ","pages":"Article 111288"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142514627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of a novel compound, 7-diethylamino-4-chloromethyl coumarin (referred to as 7D4C), derived from coumarin. Structural elucidation employed Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (<sup>1</sup>H and <sup>13</sup>C NMR), and mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Molecular docking studies were conducted to explore potential biological interactions. Furthermore, the anti-cancer potential of 7D4C was assessed using human epithelial adenocarcinom (LoVo) and healthy fibroblast (CCD-18Co) cell lines. Viability analysis, comet assay for DNA damage, and evaluation of cancer biomarkers including apoptosis, intracellular reactive oxygen species (iROS) levels, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), intracellular glutathione (GSH) concentration, and intracellular calcium (iCa<sup>2+</sup>) levels were performed. The synthesis of 7D4C was successfully completed, and its structure was confirmed. Molecular docking results indicate that 7D4C exhibits strong binding affinity to the p53 protein, highlighting its potential as a novel modulator of p53 activity. Subsequent investigations revealed that the synthesized compound induced apoptosis in cancer cells by reducing MMP and triggering DNA damage through the production of iROS.

Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is widely used as an analgesic and antipyretic medication, yet its precise mechanisms of action are not yet fully understood. Here, we investigate the impact of both ingested and <em>in-vitro</em> paracetamol on neutrophil ROS activity, using flow cytometry and antioxidant assays. Our studies reveal that paracetamol significantly suppresses ROS activity <em>ex-vivo</em> in the short term. Additionally, both paracetamol and its metabolite N-acetyl-<em>p</em>-benzoquinone imine exhibited direct <em>in vitro</em> antioxidant effects, and paracetamol suppressed neutrophil extracellular trap formation <em>ex vivo</em>. These findings suggest a connection between paracetamol use and altered neutrophil responses, with potential implications for use in some patient groups, such as immunocompromised individuals. Further investigation into paracetamol's effects on neutrophil antimicrobial functions is warranted to elucidate possible risks, particularly when taken frequently or in conjunction with other treatments such as vaccinations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":274,"journal":{"name":"Chemico-Biological Interactions","volume":"404 ","pages":"Article 111283"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142483065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
