The transcription factor E2F1 (E2F1) serves as a positive regulator of disrupted pathways involved in histone modification and cell cycle regulation. However, its function in UVB-treated HLECs remains unknown.Purpose: This study aims to investigate the function of E2F1 in UVB-treated HLECs, with a particular focus on its interaction with NLRP3 and its impact on oxidative stress and pyroptosis. Research Design: HLECs were irradiated with UVB, and cell damage was assessed using CCK-8, ROS, and pyroptosis detection. The interaction between E2F1 and NLRP3 was confirmed using Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-qPCR and dual-luciferase reporter assays.Study Sample: The study was conducted using UVB-treated HLECs.Data collection and/or analysis: Collected data were statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).Results: Our results show that HLECs were much more susceptible to oxidative stress, pyroptosis, and E2F1 in response to UVB-irradiation, but that E2F1 down-regulation effectively counteracted these effects. E2F1 was then suggested as a potential NLRP3 transcription factor by bioinformatics studies. At the same time, luciferase and CHIP assays showed that E2F1 could bind to the NLRP3 promoter and enhance NLRP3 transcription. In addition, the protective effects of si-E2F1 against oxidative stress and pyroptosis in HLECs are counteracted by overexpressing NLRP3.Conclusions: All of the above provided the possibility to demonstrate that E2F1 plays a crucial role in regulating oxidative stress and pyroptosis in UVB-induced HLECs through inhibiting NLRP3, and it promotes oxidative stress-induced pyroptosis by suppressing NLRP3 expression.","PeriodicalId":94029,"journal":{"name":"Human & experimental toxicology","volume":"44 ","pages":"9603271241309258"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142934227","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}

Proper management of COIs has added significance when scientists are making decisions that impact public policy, such as assessing substances for carcinogenicity. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) organizes expert working groups to identify putative carcinogens and determine whether or not the hazard is likely to present significant potential harm to humans. While IARC has policies for managing COIs, prior professional experience with the substance being assessed is not defined as a COI. Indeed, IARC working group members are chosen based on subject matter expertise, including prior publication on the substance under review. However, a person's prior experience with a substance poses a significant potential COI by equipping them with strong pre-existing views about the substance's toxicity and carcinogenicity. To minimize the risk of bias in IARC working groups, participants with voting powers should be independent scientific experts with sufficient professional experience to review carcinogenicity data but with no substantial prior experience with the substance under review. A related IARC practice restricting data review by working groups to selected publications is another significant COI. Instead, all accessible data should be available for consideration by working groups in assessing the carcinogenic hazard of substances. Another recommendation to reduce potential bias would be to reinstate the option of \"probably not carcinogenic to humans\".","PeriodicalId":94029,"journal":{"name":"Human & experimental toxicology","volume":"44 ","pages":"9603271241269020"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143070406","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}
