Daily exposure of PRH to phenobarbital, 5-Pregnen-3β-ol-20-one-16α‑carbonitrile (PCN) or dexamethasone increased T4 clearance over the last 24 h exposure (up to 60 %, 79 % and 67 % over control, respectively) and secretion of T4-glucuronide (T4-G; up to 463, 661 and 545 pmol/10<sup>6</sup> cells over control, respectively). Effects were concentration-dependent for phenobarbital and PCN and highest at the lowest concentration for dexamethasone, while rifampicin barely affected T4 clearance and T4-G secretion. None of the compounds, at any tested concentration, affected these parameters in PHH. Additionally, mRNA expression data were consistent with the species-specific and concentration-dependent regulation of phase I <em>Cyp/CYP</em>, phase II <em>Ugt/UGT</em> and phase III <em>Mrp2/MRP2</em> pathways occurring in rat and human liver following CAR/PXR activation.

To investigate this gap, we utilized the human macrophage cell lines KG-1 (PNS-resident macrophages) and DBTRG-05MG (CNS-resident macrophages) and examined their exposure to vaped e-liquids. To carry out these investigations, measurements of: cell viability, expression of inflammatory cytokines, phagocytosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were employed. Our findings illustrate that when exposed to e-liquid, and especially flavored e-liquids, both peripheral and central macrophage cell lines decrease in cell viability, showcase an upregulated level of expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, a diminished level of phagocytic activity and an overall increased level of reactive oxidative species.

Neural stem cells (NSCs) possess the capacity for self-renewal and can generate various cell types within the brain, playing fundamental roles in brain development and regeneration. This study investigated the impact of TCDD on the proliferation of mouse NSCs, specifically focusing on the C17.2 cell line. The results demonstrated that TCDD inhibited the proliferation of C17.2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Even low doses of TCDD (5 nM) significantly reduced C17.2 cell proliferation. Regarding the molecular mechanisms, it was found that TCDD induced the degradation of β-catenin, a key regulator of cell proliferation, through the upregulation of the E3 ubiquitin ligase, casitas B-lineage lymphoma (c-Cbl), which was dependent on the aryl-hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR). Furthermore, knockdown of c-Cbl alleviated the TCDD-induced inhibition of C17.2 proliferation and of the reduction of β-catenin expression. Our research provides foundational data to understand the mechanism of TCDD-induced neurotoxicity through the inhibition of NSCs proliferation, and suggests that the c-cbl/β-catenin pathway may serve as a potential therapeutic target for countering the neurotoxicants of TCDD.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54423,"journal":{"name":"Toxicology in Vitro","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 106014"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143069767","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}
