The primary concern is the risk of respiratory failure resulting from cholinergic dysregulation, a signaling pathway crucial for ventilatory function regulation. This study aims to elucidate the key mechanisms underlying the induction of respiratory failure in mice following sub-lethal VX exposure in order to optimize therapeutic management. We evaluated candidate compounds targeting cholinergic signaling pathways associated with the CWNA poisoning toxidrome or implicated in respiratory disorders with similar symptoms (e.g., asthma or opioid overdose). The efficacy of these compounds in preventing ventilatory abnormalities induced by subcutaneous exposure to 0.9 LD<sub>50</sub> of VX was assessed using dual-chamber plethysmography, and survival tests were conducted to confirm their therapeutic effectiveness. Among all the pathways evaluated, only the muscarinic pathway appeared to be involved, with atropine, a standard muscarinic receptor (mAChR) antagonist, which effectively preserved respiratory function by reducing VX-induced bronchoconstriction and preventing respiratory depression. Methylatropine, a peripheral mAChR antagonist that does not cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), also limited bronchoconstriction but failed to prevent respiratory depression, suggesting that bronchoconstriction is not the primary determinant of this respiratory toxidrome. Surprisingly, tiotropium, a selective M3 mAChR antagonist that also does not cross the BBB, exhibited similar effects to those of atropine. Antagonizing muscarinic pathway overstimulation thus emerges as a key strategy for managing respiratory depression and improving survival outcomes in CWNA-poisoned individuals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":274,"journal":{"name":"Chemico-Biological Interactions","volume":"421 ","pages":"Article 111713"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144920236","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}

Consequently, PA-induced hepatic IR has become a widely accepted <em>in vitro</em> model for investigating therapeutic strategies to restore insulin sensitivity. This scoping review aims to identify and summarize natural and synthetic compounds evaluated in this model, emphasizing mechanisms of action and highlighting research gaps. A total of 78 eligible studies were selected through a systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Most studies employed HepG2 cells and adopted co-incubation or post-treatment protocols to simulate preventive or therapeutic contexts.

Humans are frequently exposed to PAs through ingestion of PA-contaminated food products, with chronic dietary exposure estimated at up to 48.4 ng/kg body weight/day, posing a significant global health threat. Aside from the well-documented hepatotoxicity, dietary exposure to PAs is strongly implicated in the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a serious and often fatal disease with limited treatment options. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly defined. This review provided updated information of PA contamination in representative food and herbal products. For PAs’ characterized toxic effects on pulmonary vasculature, our review shifts previous focus from downstream pathological processes to the etiological role of dietary PA exposure in PAH development. The activation of pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAECs), together with vasoconstriction, inflammation, and vascular remodeling, is recognized as an early event in PAH pathogenesis. Subsequently, activated immune cells, platelets, and dysfunctional PAECs release a complex array of growth factors, inducing pulmonary vascular remodeling and PAH progression. By reviewing intoxication targets and molecular pathways, we propose potentially novel therapeutic targets for dietary PA-related PAH. Given the ubiquitous distribution in the global food chain and their underexplored link to cardiopulmonary disease, we also provide perspectives and outlooks of preventive strategies and targeted interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":274,"journal":{"name":"Chemico-Biological Interactions","volume":"420 ","pages":"Article 111709"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144896685","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}
