Carbon disulfide exposure induced lung function reduction partly through oxidative protein damage: A cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 454:131464. [PMID: 37104953 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
Carbon disulfide (CS2) exposure has been associated with lung function reduction in occupational population. However, evidence on the general population with relatively low CS2 exposure is lacking and the mechanism involved remains largely unknown. Urinary CS2 metabolite (2-mercaptothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, TTCA) and lung function were determined in the urban adults from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort at baseline in 2011-2012 and were repeated every 3 years. Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between TTCA and lung function were estimated using linear mixed models. Inflammation and oxidative damage biomarkers in blood/urine were measured to evaluate their potential mediating roles involved. Cross-sectionally, participants in the highest quartile of TTCA level showed a 0.64% reduction in FEV1/FVC and a -308.22 mL/s reduction in PEF, compared to those in the lowest quartile. Longitudinally, participants with consistently high TTCA level had annually -90.27 mL/s decline in PEF, compared to those with consistently low TTCA level. Mediation analysis revealed that plasma protein carbonyl mediated 49.89% and 22.10% of TTCA-associated FEV1/FVC and PEF reductions, respectively. Conclusively, there was a cross-sectional and longitudinal association between CS2 exposure and lung function reduction in the general urban adults, and protein carbonylation (oxidative protein damage) partly mediated lung function reduction from CS2 exposure.

How to Differentiate General Toxicity-Related Endocrine Effects from Endocrine Disruption: Systematic Review of Carbon Disulfide Data. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23063153.

Abstract
This review provides an overview of the assessment of the endocrine disrupting (ED) properties of carbon disulfide (CS2), following the methodology used at the European level to identify endocrine disruptors. Relevant in vitro, in vivo studies and human data are analyzed. The assessment presented here focuses on one endocrine activity, i.e., thyroid disruption, and two main adverse effects, neurotoxicity and cardiotoxicity. The data available on the different ED or non-ED modes of action (MoA), known to trigger these adverse effects, are described and the strength of evidence of the different MoA is weighted. We conclude that the adverse effects could be due to systemic toxicity rather than endocrine-mediated toxicity. This assessment illustrates the scientific and regulatory challenges in differentiating a specific endocrine disruption from an indirect endocrine effect resulting from a non-ED mediated systemic toxicity. This issue of evaluating the ED properties of highly toxic and reactive substances has been insufficiently developed by European guidance so far and needs to be further addressed. Finally, this example also raises questions about the capacity of the technics available in toxicology to address such a complex issue with certainty.

Belaid C, Sbartai I. Assessing the effects of Thiram to oxidative stress responses in a freshwater bioindicator cladoceran (Daphnia magna). CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 268:128808.

Abstract
Thiram (TMTD) is able to induce antioxidant defense and oxidative stress in different organisms. Moreover, Thiram can act as a prooxidant resulting in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). To our knowledge, this is the first study assessing the oxidative stress induced by Thiram in the cladoceran Daphnia magna. At present, literature focus on the determination of toxicity in vertebrate organisms or cells, however, very few studies were interested to evaluate Thiram's effects in aquatic organisms such as cladoceran. To assess these effects, antioxidant GSH content, CAT and GST enzyme activities, cellular damages and lipid peroxidation indicators (MDA) were evaluated as oxidative stress biomarkers. Our results showed that acute Thiram exposure resulted in significant biochemical responses, demonstrating that Thiram induced oxidative damage. Indeed, following exposure to Thiram, we noticed an intracellular (GSH) depletion, associated with a marked increase of lipid membrane peroxidation as shown by high (MDA) production. Moreover, a dose-dependent induction of antioxidant key enzymes (CAT) and (GST) was found which led to an oxidative stress and finally death of Daphnia magna.

Associations of urinary carbon disulfide metabolite with oxidative stress, plasma glucose and risk of diabetes among urban adults in China. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2021; 272:115959. [PMID: 33250290 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.115959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2020] [Revised: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 10/28/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Carbon disulfide (CS2) has been reported to induce disorder of glucose metabolism. However, the associations of CS2 exposure with plasma glucose levels and risk of diabetes have not been explored in general population, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We aim to examine the relationships between CS2 exposure and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels, as well as diabetes, and assess the potential role of oxidative stress among the abovementioned relationships in Chinese general adults. The concentrations of urinary biomarkers of CS2 exposure (2-thiothiazolidin-4-carboxylic acid, TTCA), and biomarkers for lipid peroxidation (8-isoprostane, 8-iso-PGF2α) and DNA oxidative damage (8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-20-deoxyguanosine, 8-OHdG) were measured among 3338 urban adults from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. Additionally, FPG levels were tested promptly. Generalized linear models and logistic regression models were used to quantify the associations among urinary TTCA, oxidative damage markers, FPG levels and diabetes risk. Mediation analysis was employed to estimate the role of oxidative damage markers in the association between urinary TTCA and FPG levels. We discovered a significant relationship between urinary TTCA and FPG levels with regression coefficient of 0.080 (95% CI: 0.002,0.157). Besides, the risk of diabetes was positively related to urinary TTCA (OR:1.282, 95% CI: 1.055,1.558), particularly among those who did not exercise regularly. Each 1% increase of urinary TTCA concentration was associated with a 0.096% and 0.037% increase in urinary 8-iso-PGF2α and 8-OHdG, respectively. Moreover, we found an upward trend of FPG level as urinary 8-iso-PGF2α gradually increased (Ptrend<0.05), and urinary 8-iso-PGF2α mediated 21.12% of the urinary TTCA-associated FPG increment. Our findings indicated that urinary CS2 metabolite was associated with increased FPG levels and diabetes risk in general population. Lipid peroxidation partly mediated the association of urinary CS2 metabolite with FPG levels.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Limited research exists about the possible cardiovascular effects of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). We therefore sought to compare exposure to known or potentially cardiotoxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ENDS users, smokers, and dual users. METHODS A total of 371 individuals from the Cardiovascular Injury due to Tobacco Use study, a cross-sectional study of healthy participants aged 21-45 years, were categorized as nonusers of tobacco (n = 87), sole ENDS users (n = 17), cigarette smokers (n = 237), and dual users (n = 30) based on 30-day self-reported tobacco product use patterns. Participants provided urine samples for VOC and nicotine metabolite measurement. We assessed associations between tobacco product use and VOC metabolite measures using multivariable-adjusted linear regression models. RESULTS Mean (SD) age of the population was 32 (±6.8) years, 55% men. Mean urinary cotinine level in nonusers of tobacco was 2.6 ng/mg creatinine, whereas cotinine levels were similar across all tobacco product use categories (851.6-910.9 ng/mg creatinine). In multivariable-adjusted models, sole ENDS users had higher levels of metabolites of acrolein, acrylamide, acrylonitrile, and xylene compared with nonusers of tobacco, but lower levels of most VOC metabolites compared with cigarette smokers or dual users. In direct comparison of cigarettes smokers and dual users, we found lower levels of metabolites of styrene and xylene in dual users. CONCLUSION Although sole ENDS use may be associated with lower VOC exposure compared to cigarette smoking, further study is required to determine the potential health effects of the higher levels of certain reactive aldehydes, including acrolein, in ENDS users compared with nonusers of tobacco. IMPLICATIONS ENDS use in conjunction with other tobacco products may not significantly reduce exposure to VOC, but sole use does generally reduce some VOC exposure and warrants more in-depth studies.

Abstract
Objectives: In this study, we investigated whether cytochrome P450s (CYPs) induced by a typical chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide chlordane (CLD) potentiate hepatic toxicity of carbon disulfide (CS2). Materials and Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with CLD (25 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (i.p.)) daily for 4 days, and 24 h after the final injection the rats were treated with CS2 (380 mg/kg, i.p.) in corn oil; while controls received the vehicle alone. The rats were then sacrificed at 3, 6, and 24 h following the CS2 treatment. Results: It was found that at 3 h post-treatment, total hepatic glutathione (GSH) decreased modestly, but lipid peroxidation increased markedly, while all CLD-inducible CYPs (1A1, 2B1, 2E1, and 3A2) were inhibited by CS2 variably but significantly. On the other hand, samples taken at 24 h following the CS2 treatment showed a significant increase in relative liver weights, hepatic GSH and lipid peroxidation, microsomal reactive oxygen species (ROS), and serum alanine transaminase (ALT) level. Activity of the CYPs was also increased, but remained significantly depressed, especially that of CYP2B1. Livers removed at 3 and 6 h after CS2 treatment showed subtle to distinct apoptotic changes, while a severe lesion of hydropic degeneration of the centrilobular cells with apoptosis was microscopically distinguishable in samples taken at 24 h. Conclusions: These results suggest that the metabolism of CS2 by CLD-induced CYPs and the generation of lipid peroxides may have in concert contributed to the distinct hepatocellular damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Overexposure to carbon disulfide (CS(2) ) has been associated with an increase in coronary heart disease, but the mechanisms mediating this effect remain unclear. We aimed to examine the relationship between CS(2) exposure and oxidative stress markers, in order to clarify the oxidative mechanisms involved in CS(2) -induced atherosclerosis. METHODS A total of 89 workers from a viscose rayon plant were recruited for this study, and 111 workers not exposed to CS(2) served as controls. Cholesterol, triglyceride, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, GSH peroxidase, as well as total antioxidants were analyzed. RESULTS The workers exposed to CS(2) had significantly higher MDA levels and lower SOD levels than the controls. The average MDA levels were 776 ± 268.2 (240-1,220) in the high exposure (≥10 ppm; n = 38), 751.6 ± 274 (170-1,320) in the low exposure (<10 ppm; n = 51), and 550.4 ± 199 (115-1,050) mM in the control group (n = 111). The average SOD levels were 36.5 ± 38.8 (0-223.5), 39.3 ± 38.8 (0-160), and 58.8 ± 60.8 (5.25, 400) U/ml in the high exposure-, low exposure-, and control group, respectively. MDA level increased significantly at a cumulative CS(2) exposure of over 60 ppm-years. Dyslipoproteinemia was borderline significantly associated with CS(2) exposure and MDA level. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that CS(2) exposure can induce oxidative stress as well as reduce the levels of antioxidative enzymes, and that a cumulative exposure level of 60 ppm-years may be a threshold value for the oxidative and the antioxidant response.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Oxidative stress in plasma may be promoted by plasma thiols such as homocysteine. However, other thiols such as glutathione may also exert antioxidant effects in vitro and in vivo. To further investigate whether plasma thiols act as prooxidants or antioxidants, we compared plasma oxidative status in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and in subjects occupationally exposed to carbon disulfide (CS(2)). METHODS Fifty-five subjects chronically exposed to CS(2), 53 CHD patients, and 52 healthy controls were examined. To assess plasma oxidative status, concentrations of thiobarbituric reactive substances (TBARS) and total antioxidative capacity (TAC), as well as ferritin and ceruloplasmin were determined. Antioxidative reserve was assessed by the determination of vitamine E, uric acid, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathion peroxidase. In addition, protein and non-protein plasma thiol levels were measured. RESULTS Patients in both groups had increased levels of plasma thiols as compared to controls: CS(2)-exposed subjects presented with increased levels of thiols associated with plasma proteins, whereas CHD patients presented with elevated total homocysteine and cysteine levels. TBARS were significantly increased and TAC was significantly decreased both in CS(2)-exposed subjects and in CHD patients. In addition decreased activity of glutathione peroxidase, an antioxidative enzyme inhibited by thiol-containing compounds, was noted in both groups. CONCLUSION These results demonstrate that regardless of their metabolic origin increased thiols are associated with increased oxidative stress in plasma.
