The initiation of germ cell development takes place during embryogenesis but only completes decades later in humans. The complexity inherent to reproduction and its study has long hampered our ability to decipher how environmental agents disrupt this process. Single-cell approaches provide an opportunity for a deeper understanding of the action of toxicants on germline function and analyze how the response to their exposure is differentially distributed across tissues and cell types. In addition to single-cell RNA sequencing, other single-cell or nucleus level approaches such as ATAC-sequencing and multi-omics have expanded the strategies that can be implemented in reproductive toxicological studies to include epigenomic and the nuclear transcriptomic data. Here we will discuss the current state of single-cell technologies and how they can best be utilized to advance reproductive toxicological studies. We will then discuss case studies in two model organisms (<em>Caenorhabditis elegans</em> and rat) studying different environmental exposures (alcohol and e-cigarettes respectively) to highlight the value of single-cell and single-nucleus approaches for reproductive biology and reproductive toxicology.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93968,"journal":{"name":"Current opinion in toxicology","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100465"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139823857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pb disrupts normal brain function by inducing oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, altering cellular metabolism, and displacing essential metals. Prior studies on the molecular impacts of Pb have examined bulk tissues, which collapse information across all cell types, or in targeted cells, which are limited to cell autonomous effects. These approaches are unable to represent the complete biological implications of Pb exposure because the brain is a cooperative network of highly heterogeneous cells, with cellular diversity and proportions shifting throughout development, by brain region, and with disease. New technologies are necessary to investigate whether Pb and other environmental exposures alter cell composition in the brain and whether they cause molecular changes in a cell-type-specific manner. Cutting-edge, single-cell approaches now enable research resolving cell-type-specific effects from bulk tissues. This article reviews existing Pb neurotoxicology studies with genome-wide molecular signatures and provides a path forward for the field to implement single-cell approaches with practical recommendations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93968,"journal":{"name":"Current opinion in toxicology","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100464"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139662174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
