Concerns regarding the potential health impacts of UVFs have been raised, however, information is mostly limited to their endocrine disruptions. The present study aims to investigate nephrotoxic potentials of four major organic UVFs, i.e., avobenzone (AVB), benzophenone-3 (BP-3), octocrylene (OC), and octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC), using a zebrafish model at different life stages. Test UVFs were applied during early (0–30 days post-fertilization (dpf)), and adult life stage (> 6 months old, 21 d exposure), and investigated for alterations in gene expression and/or kidney function. In juvenile fish (30 dpf), early life stage exposure to BP-3 and OMC caused significant induction of proteinuria. Moreover, regardless of life stage, key genes (<em>wt1a</em>, <em>podocin</em>, <em>nephrin</em>, <em>cdh17</em>, <em>sim1a</em>, and <em>kim-1</em>) responsible for kidney structure and function showed transcriptional alterations that support nephrotoxic potentials of the test UVFs. Our results demonstrate that exposure to widely used organic UVFs could impair normal biological processes for maintaining kidney health during both life stages. Considering the widespread use of organic UVFs among the general human population, the implication of this nephrotoxic potential warrants further investigation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":93463,"journal":{"name":"Journal of hazardous materials letters","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100143"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143508589","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}

Digital cell type deconvolution revealed altered cell composition, including deeper multilayer and enveloping layer cells and fewer margin cells. Furthermore, reductions in neural progenitor and heart primordium lineages, alongside expansions in primordial germ and mesendodermal lineages, potentially contribute to later-stage developmental abnormalities.

Radish was selected as the model plant due to its global popularity as a widely consumed vegetable. DAN (1,5-diaminonaphthalene) was used as the MALDI matrix, and the mass spectrometry operating conditions were optimized to acquire the best PFAS signals. The results show that long-chain PFAS predominantly accumulated in the xylem of the edible storage root, where their high hydrophobicity limits upward translocation. In contrast, short-chain PFAS and PFOA exhibited stronger signals in the cortex and periderm, likely due to alternative transport pathways. This differential distribution highlights the significant influence of PFAS physicochemical properties, such as chain length and hydrophobicity, on their in-planta transport mechanisms. By precisely mapping PFAS within plant tissues, this study provides a powerful tool for identifying high-risk edible tissues and assessing human exposure risks through PFAS-contaminated crops. It also reinforces the urgent need for sustainable remediation strategies to reduce PFAS levels in agricultural systems, thereby safeguarding food safety, ecosystem health, and human well-being.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":93463,"journal":{"name":"Journal of hazardous materials letters","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100141"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143169644","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}
