Studies on the pathophysiology of obesity for effective and safe treatments are focused on the mechanisms of adipogenesis. The association between boron treatment and weight loss has been reported, but its anti-adipogenic mechanisms and effects on preadipocytes remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of boron compounds boric acid (BA) and calcium fructoborate (CaFB) on adipogenesis using the most widely used in vitro 3T3-L1 cellular model. In our study, cytotoxicity, Oil Red O (ORO), gene and protein expression analyses and cellular NAD measurements of boron compounds were performed. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα) transcription factors are the main regulators of adipogenesis, and boron compounds affect them at gene and protein levels by showing anti-obesity effects. This is the first study to show that CaFB has anti-obesity properties in mouse adipocytes. Sirtuins, known as the longevity genes, were also activated from boron treatment. Results of this research provide new basic knowledge and insights into the effect of boron-based compounds on obesity. It also offers potential prospects for the development of effective treatment and/or supportive treatment methods.","PeriodicalId":8917,"journal":{"name":"Biological Trace Element Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142613825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bismuth nanoparticles are among the numerous metal nanoparticles widely used due to their potential therapeutic applications. Variety of studies displayed the high potentials of bismuth nanoparticles in extraordinary antibacterial, antibiofilm, anticancer, and antioxidant effects, and it seems that these potentials can be used to address the challenges in the treatment of many diseases. They are among the metal nanoparticles biosynthesized by the green synthesis method in many studies. The use of green synthesis of nanoparticles has attracted the interest of many investigators because of its environmental friendliness, non-toxicity, and high stability. Microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, yeasts, actinomycetes, viruses, marine algae, and plants have been found to have the inherent potential to create metal nanoparticles intracellularly or extracellularly and are recognized as viable biofactories for the green synthesis of nanoparticles. The goal of this review article was to assess synthesized bismuth nanoparticles based on their green synthesis methods; properties in terms of shape, size, synthesis origin, and structure; and biological applications, including their antibacterial, antibiofilm, antioxidant, and cytotoxic uses.","PeriodicalId":8917,"journal":{"name":"Biological Trace Element Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142613829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To examine the association of Cu and Zn homeostasis in the onset and severity of CRC, we performed an exploratory case-control study comparing the serum levels for Cu, the exchangeable component of Cu in serum (CuExc), Zn, the ratio between them (CuExc:Zn), ceruloplasmin [Cp, concentration (iCp) and its activity (eCp), Cp specific activity (eCp:iCp)], and the Cu:Cp, assessed in 31 consecutive CRC patients before surgical resection to those obtained from 37 healthy controls (CTRL). Additionally, we correlated the analyte levels with the indices of the pathological tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) staging, namely tumor (T), node (N), and metastasis (M), evaluated at the histopathological examination. We found that Cu, CuExc, CuExc:Zn, iCp, eCp, eCp:iCp, and Cu:Cp ratios increased while Zn decreased in CRC patients. In addition, correlation analyses showed that CuExc and Zn levels confirmed the CRC diagnosis. Specifically, CuExc:Zn further increased the discrimination between the individuals of the two groups, providing an area under the curve (ROC AUC) = 0.94. Elevated CuExc was the strongest factor associated with CRC resulting in 15-fold increased odds. These data were confirmed through a multivariable regression model revealing an effect of Zn and CuExc on the CRC risk, with the CuExc resulting in 11-fold increased odds of having the disease. We also found that most of the Cu biological variables analyzed were associated with T, while the CuExc was associated with M. The current pilot study demonstrates that excess labile Cu pool, Zn deficiency, and even further their combination in the CuExc:Zn provide information about CRC in terms of diagnosis, risk of having CRC, and CRC disease stage.","PeriodicalId":8917,"journal":{"name":"Biological Trace Element Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142613839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2005 to 2020, involving 9509 adult women aged 20 and older. The effect of blood lead levels on UUI was assessed using weighted multivariate logistic regression models. Additionally, the relationship between the two was illustrated using restricted cubic splines. Stratified analyses based on covariate categories were used to explore if factors influenced the relationship between blood lead levels and UUI. Adjusted multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that for each unit increase in blood lead levels, the risk of UUI increased by 10% (OR = 1.10; 95% CI, 1.02-1.17; P = 0.01). After categorizing blood lead levels into weighted tertiles, compared to the first tertile, the third tertile increased the risk of UUI by 1.34 times in Model 1 (OR = 1.34; 95% CI, 1.13-1.59; P < 0.001). A restricted cubic spline analysis demonstrated a nonlinear relationship between blood lead levels and UUI (P for nonlinearity = 0.016). Stratified analysis revealed that baseline characteristics such as age, BMI, and PIR did not have an impact on the association between blood lead levels and UUI. This study demonstrated a close association between the risk of blood lead levels and UUI in adult women aged 20 and above.

The study focused on adult and pediatric populations in the highly dust-polluted city of Zabol, Iran, during 2022-2023. The samples were analyzed by using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The concentration of metals in milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) was as follows: Al (75053) > Ca (8206) > Fe (5439) > Mg (5323) > Zn (15.27) > Pb (3.66) > Cr (3.38) > Cd (0.011); according to the results, the highest amount of metals related to aluminum and calcium in dust particles. The calculated individual indices, including the ecological risk index (ERI), pollution factor (Cfi), and geographic accumulation index (Igeo), indicated that calcium exhibited minimal pollution, while the metal samples (Al, Mg, Fe, Cd, Cr, Pb, and Zn) were categorized as uncontaminated. The results revealed that the ecological risk factor (Er) is below 40, indicating a low level of contamination. Additionally, the pollution level determined by the ecological risk potential (RI) was less than 150, suggesting a low probability of contamination. Ingestion posed the highest average hazard quotient (HQ) values for both children and adults in terms of non-carcinogenic risk assessment, while cutaneous and inhalation exposures showed lower values. Furthermore, the hazard index (HI) for heavy metals remained below the safe threshold of 1. The risk index (RI) values for lead, cadmium, and chromium were all below 1 × 10-6 in both adult and pediatric populations.

There was a notable difference between the two groups studied across all biochemical variables. Specifically, fasting blood glucose, insulin, the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) index, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides were significantly higher in the PCOS group compared to the control group (p < 0.01). Conversely, Se, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and adiponectin levels were significantly lower in women with PCOS than in their age-matched controls (p < 0.01).

The aim of this study was to test Tl cytotoxicity on several cell lines of different tissue origin in order to clarify specific Tl toxicity to a particular organ. In addition, possible interference of Tl with cell potassium (K) transport was examined. Human keratinocytes (HaCaT), human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), porcine kidney epithelial cells (PK15), human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) and Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cells (V79) were treated with thallium (I) acetate in a wide concentration range (3.9-500 µg/mL) for 24 h, 48 and 72 h. To assess competitive interaction between Tl and K, the cells were treated with four Tl concentrations close to IC50 (15.63, 31.25, 62.50, 125 µg/mL) in combination with/or without potassium (I) acetate (500 µg/mL). The cells' morphology was monitored, and cytotoxic effect was assessed by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) test. The most sensitive to Tl exposure were SH-SY5Y cells, while HepG2 were the most resistant. The combined exposure to thallium (I) acetate and potassium (I) acetate for every cell line, except V79 cells, resulted in higher cell viability compared to thallium (I) acetate alone. The results of our study indicate that cell sensitivity to Tl treatment is largely affected by tissue culture origin, its function, and Na+/K+-ATPase activity.","PeriodicalId":8917,"journal":{"name":"Biological Trace Element Research","volume":" ","pages":"5025-5035"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139721438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
