In this study, the impact of Pb exposure, B vitamin deficiencies, and lifestyle factors on δ-ALAD activity among workers exposed to Pb from the Pb-recycling process was evaluated. Blood lead levels (BLLs), B vitamins (B6, B9, and B12), hematological factors (Hb% and HCT), lifestyle factors, and δ-ALAD activity was assessed in 170 male Pb-exposed workers engaged in the Pb recycling process. BLLs are estimated using the ICP-OES method. B vitamins in serum samples from workers were determined using the ELISA method. The δ-ALAD activity in whole blood samples was determined using the spectrophotometer method. The lifestyle factors were collected using a standard questionnaire. The δ-ALAD activity was significantly decreased in workers with the habits of alcohol use, tobacco consumption, hematocrit &lt; 41%, mild and moderate categories of anemia, vitamin B6 and B12 deficiency, and BLL categories of 10–30, 30–50, and &gt; 50 µg/dL. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the independent variables of alcohol consumption (β = − 0.170; P = 0.025), BLLs (β = − 0.589; P = 0.001) and Hb% (β = 0.183; P = 0.001) significantly influenced the δ-ALAD activity with 44.2% (R² = 0.442). Among the workers exposed to Pb from the Pb recycling plant, δ-ALAD activity was considerably reduced by Pb exposure, B vitamin deficiency, hematological parameters, and lifestyle factors.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":603,"journal":{"name":"JBIC Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry","volume":"29 3","pages":"375 - 383"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139574637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results showed that La₂(CO₃)₃ can dissolve in artificial gastric fluids and form lanthanum phosphate (LaPO₄) precipitates with an average size of about 1 μm. To mimic the intestinal mucosa and epithelial barrier, we established a Caco-2/THP-1 macrophage coculture model and a Caco-2 monoculture model, respectively. Our findings demonstrated that the medium of THP-1 macrophages stimulated by LaPO₄ particles can damage the Caco-2 monolayer integrity in the coculture model, while the particles themselves had no direct impact on the Caco-2 monolayer integrity in the monoculture model. We measured values of trans-epithelial electrical resistance and detected images using a laser scanning confocal microscope. These results indicate that continuous stimulation of LaPO₄ particles on macrophages can lead to a disruption of intestinal epithelium integrity. In addition, LaPO₄ particles could stimulate THP-1 macrophages to secrete both IL-1β and IL-8. Although LaPO₄ particles can also promote Caco-2 cells to secrete IL-8, the secretion was much lower than that produced by THP-1 macrophages. In summary, the deposition of La₂(CO₃)₃ has been shown to activate macrophages and induce damage to intestinal epithelial cells, which may exacerbate inflammation in patients with chronic kidney disease.
