Clinical and experimental data demonstrate that individuals who survive these acute neurotoxic effects often develop significant chronic morbidity, including behavioral deficits. The pathogenic mechanism(s) that link acute OP intoxication to chronic neurological deficits remain speculative. Cellular senescence has been linked to behavioral deficits associated with aging and neurodegenerative disease, but whether acute OP intoxication triggers cellular senescence in the brain has not been investigated. Here, we test this hypothesis in a rat model of acute intoxication with the OP diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP). Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were administered DFP (4 mg/kg, s.c.). Control animals were administered an equal volume (300 µL) of sterile phosphate-buffered saline (s.c.). Both groups were subsequently injected with atropine sulfate (2 mg/kg, i.m.) and 2-pralidoxime (25 mg/kg, i.m.). DFP triggered seizure activity within minutes that rapidly progressed to SE, as determined using behavioral seizure criteria. Brains were collected from animals at 1, 3, and 6 months post-exposure for immunohistochemical analyses of p16, a biomarker of cellular senescence. While there was no immunohistochemical evidence of cellular senescence at 1-month post-exposure, at 3- and 6-months post-exposure, p16 immunoreactivity was significantly increased in the CA3 and dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, amygdala, piriform cortex and thalamus, but not the CA1 region of the hippocampus or the somatosensory cortex. Co-localization of p16 immunoreactivity with cell-specific biomarkers, specifically, NeuN, GFAP, S100β, IBA1 and CD31, revealed that p16 expression in the brain of DFP animals is neuron-specific. The spatial distribution of p16-immunopositive cells overlapped with expression of senescence associated β-galactosidase and with degenerating neurons identified by FluoroJade-C (FJC) staining. The co-occurrence of p16 and FJC was positively correlated. This study implicates cellular senescence as a novel pathogenic mechanism underlying the chronic neurological deficits observed in individuals who survive OP-induced cholinergic crisis.</p>","PeriodicalId":73111,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in toxicology","volume":"6 ","pages":"1360359"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11091247/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140923734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, there is increasing emphasis by regulators on risk assessment of immunotoxicity. <b>Methods:</b> Here we present data from a peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) system whereby a varied set of stimuli, including those against the TCR and Toll-like receptors, enable readouts of cytokine and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production with monocyte, T cell and B cell viability, proliferation, and associated activation markers. In addition to results on the impact of the stimuli used, initial profiling data for a case study chemical, curcumin, is presented, illustrating how the system can be used to generate information on the impact of exogenous materials on three major constituent immune cell subsets for use in risk assessment and to direct follow-on studies. <b>Results:</b> The different stimuli drove distinct responses, not only in relation to the \"quantity\" of the response but also the \"quality\". Curcumin had a limited impact on the B cell parameters measured, with the stimuli used, and it was noted that in contrast to T cells where there was either no impact or a reduction in viability and proliferation with increasing concentration, for B cells there was a small but significant increase in both measurements at curcumin concentrations below 20 µM. Similarly, whilst expression of activation markers by T cells was reduced by the highest concentration of curcumin, they were increased in B cells. Curcumin only impacted the viability of stimulated monocytes at the highest concentration and had differential impact on different activation markers. Levels of all cytokines and PGE2 were reduced at higher concentrations. <b>Discussion:</b> Although the platform has certain limitations, it nevertheless enables assessment of healthy baseline monocyte, T-, and B-cell responses, and scrutiny of the impact of different stimuli to detect potential immune suppression or enhancement from exogenous materials.
