Curcumin (Cur) is a member of the ginger family. It has anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects that maintain the health of the organism's immune system. Here, the protective effects of Cur against DON-induced spleen damage were explored. First, we found DON (2.4 mg/kg body weight) decreased the expression of manganese superoxide dismutase, mitochondrial membrane potential, adenosine triphosphate, and disturbed hematoxylin and eosin staining in mice spleen. The results confirmed that DON causes mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) overproduction leading to spleen damage. Second, we found DON decreased the expression of mitochondrial apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and increased the expression of nuclear AIF, Bcl2-associated X (Bax), cysteine-aspartate protease-3 (caspase-3), caspase-9. Mitoquinone is a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant that can prevent of mitochondrial oxidative damage. These expression increases were not observed in the mitoquinone-treated group, confirming that mtROS was an upstream regulatory target of apoptosis and inflammation in DON-exposed mice spleens. Finally, we confirmed that Cur (50 or 100 mg/kg body weight) attenuated DON-induced apoptosis and inflammation by inactivating mtROS. Collectively, these results confirm that DON causes spleen damage by increasing mtROS, and the protective effects of curcumin.</p>","PeriodicalId":317,"journal":{"name":"Food and Chemical Toxicology","volume":" ","pages":"115200"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142821578","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}

However, the precise mechanisms underlying TPL-induced ovarian damage remain poorly understood. In this study, employing a mouse toxicological model, exposure to TPL was observed to result in decreased ovarian coefficient and fertility. Subsequent research demonstrated TPL exposure affected mitochondrial function, increased mitochondrial outer membrane permeability, resulted in mtDNA releasing into the cytoplasm. These events subsequently activated cGAS-STING pathway, leading to ovarian inflammation. Furthermore, TPL exposure has been found to disrupt the meiotic maturation of oocytes, which is mechanistically associated with suboptimal morphology of spindle and microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs). This association has been further confirmed through the use of reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS). In conclusion, our study demonstrates that TPL exposure can hinder follicular development, resulting in ovarian inflammation and reduced oocyte quality.</p>","PeriodicalId":317,"journal":{"name":"Food and Chemical Toxicology","volume":" ","pages":"115201"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142821581","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}

We also aimed to investigate the influence of co-medications and patient profile (BMI, glycemia, lipid levels) on tramadol metabolite ratios. Overall, 37 patient samples from the CONSTANCES cohort contained tramadol and its 5 metabolites.

The most frequent CYP2D6 phenotype was extensive metabolizers (51.3%), followed by intermediate metabolizers (24.3%) and poor metabolizers (10.8%). CYP2D6-inhibiting co-medications impacted tramadol metabolism independently of CYP2D6 metabolism phenotype. Lipid parameters and glycemia were significantly associated with changes in tramadol metabolic ratios. Metabolic ratios are not sufficient to determine the CYP2D6 metabolic phenotype in patients.

Initial in vitro studies showed minimal toxicity in liver and kidney cells and non-mutagenicity in bacterial assays. A 14-day acute toxicity test indicated an LD50 over 5000 mg/kg body weight, suggesting a safe profile, yet necessitating further in vivo analysis before progressing to human trials. Following OECD protocols, we conducted sub-chronic (90 days) and chronic (180 days) toxicity studies in male and female C57 mice at various dosages. These included comprehensive hematological, biochemical, macroscopic, urinalysis, and histopathological examinations. The sub-chronic study reported minimal toxicity except at the highest doses (700 and 1000 mg/kg), while the chronic study suggested a no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) at 250 mg/kg with limitations. QSAR analysis supported the non-mutagenic nature of KSD179019. KSD179019 demonstrated a favorable general toxicity profile at a dose of 250 mg/kg in a 180-day chronic testing study.
