Arsenic and metabolic diseases: New insights from mesenchymal stem cells
Arsenic is a common toxic metal contaminant in the environment. Humans are exposed to arsenic through drinking water, air, food, and medical treatment. Chronic exposure to arsenic is a well-documented risk factor of type 2 diabetes and a potential risk factor of osteoporosis and obesity. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells with multiple differentiation potential and immunomodulatory capacity. These cells have shown therapeutic potential in experimental studies of metabolic diseases by differentiating into parenchymal cells of damaged tissues, such as islet-like cells and osteoblasts, and resisting chronic inflammation. Meanwhile, when key functional genes were suppressed in MSCs, experimental animals showed metabolic disease-related changes, such as insulin resistance and obesity. Arsenic exposure inhibits the differentiation capacity of MSCs, leads to changes in the synthesis and secretion of immunomodulatory factors, and induces cellular senescence and apoptosis. Therefore, dysfunction and death of MSCs may be important pathogenesis of arsenic-related metabolic diseases. Future studies on the functional changes of MSCs in arsenic-related metabolic diseases and the role of MSCs in arsenic pathogenesis are worthwhile. In addition, the mechanism of arsenic-induced dysfunction in MSCs needs to be explored in depth.
期刊介绍:
Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology publishes original scientific research of relevance to animals or humans pertaining to the action of chemicals, drugs, or chemically-defined natural products.
Regular articles address mechanistic approaches to physiological, pharmacologic, biochemical, cellular, or molecular understanding of toxicologic/pathologic lesions and to methods used to describe these responses. Safety Science articles address outstanding state-of-the-art preclinical and human translational characterization of drug and chemical safety employing cutting-edge science. Highly significant Regulatory Safety Science articles will also be considered in this category. Papers concerned with alternatives to the use of experimental animals are encouraged.
Short articles report on high impact studies of broad interest to readers of TAAP that would benefit from rapid publication. These articles should contain no more than a combined total of four figures and tables. Authors should include in their cover letter the justification for consideration of their manuscript as a short article.
