Wang J, Zhang L, He Y, Ji R. Biodegradation of phenolic pollutants and bioaugmentation strategies: A review of current knowledge and future perspectives. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 469:133906. [PMID: 38430590 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
The widespread use of phenolic compounds renders their occurrence in various environmental matrices, posing ecological risks especially the endocrine disruption effects. Biodegradation-based techniques are efficient and cost-effective in degrading phenolic pollutants with less production of secondary pollution. This review focuses on phenol, 4-nonylphenol, 4-nitrophenol, bisphenol A and tetrabromobisphenol A as the representatives, and summarizes the current knowledge and future perspectives of their biodegradation and the enhancement strategy of bioaugmentation. Biodegradation and isolation of degrading microorganisms were mainly investigated under oxic conditions, where phenolic pollutants are typically hydroxylated to 4-hydroxybenzoate or hydroquinone prior to ring opening. Bioaugmentation efficiencies of phenolic pollutants significantly vary under different application conditions (e.g., increased degradation by 10-95% in soil and sediment). To optimize degradation of phenolic pollutants in different matrices, the factors that influence biodegradation capacity of microorganisms and performance of bioaugmentation are discussed. The use of immobilization strategy, indigenous degrading bacteria, and highly competent exogenous bacteria are proposed to facilitate the bioaugmentation process. Further studies are suggested to illustrate 1) biodegradation of phenolic pollutants under anoxic conditions, 2) application of microbial consortia with synergistic effects for phenolic pollutant degradation, and 3) assessment on the uncertain ecological risks associated with bioaugmentation, resulting from changes in degradation pathway of phenolic pollutants and alterations in structure and function of indigenous microbial community.

Alkylphenols cause cytotoxicity and genotoxicity induced by oxidative stress in RTG-2 cell line. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 313:137387. [PMID: 36436576 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.137387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Alkylphenols ethoxylates are industrial surfactants, and the release in the environmental matrices produces degraded products, of which nonylphenol (NP) and octylphenol (OP) were the most common. They can be classified as endocrine disruptors since the estrogenic potential is widely recognized, but some others toxic aspects are in discussion. This study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of NP, OP, and mixtures of both through cellular, biochemical and genetic biomarkers in fish gonadal cell line RTG-2 exposed to nominal concentrations of 0.05; 0.5; 5; 50, and 100 μg mL-1 of each chemical and their mixtures of 0.05, 0.5; 5 μg mL-1 concentrations. After 24 h, the cells were collected for cytotoxic (neutral red - NR; crystal violet - CV, resazurin assay - RA and lactate-dehydrogenase - LDH), antioxidant system (glutathione-s-transferase - GST; superoxide-dismutase - SOD; glutathione-peroxidase - GPx and malondialdehyde - MDA) and genotoxic assays (alkaline comet assay and Fpg-modified alkaline comet assay). The chemicals and their mixtures were cytotoxic at 50 and 100 μg mL-1, in general aspect, but LDH showed cytotoxicity since 0.05 μg mL-1. The GST and SOD showed an activity increase trend in most tested groups, while GPx decreased at 5 μg mL-1 of the mixture. The MDA increase in all groups resulted in lipid peroxidation. The reactive oxygen species caused DNA damage for all groups. The tested chemicals and concentrations have been found in the freshwater systems. They can induce cell toxicity in several parameters that could impair the gonadal tissues considering the RTG-2 responses.

Abstract
4-n-Nonylphenol (NP) is one of the most toxic alkylphenols found in the environment. To evaluate the transcriptional effects of NP in the viviparous fish Poecilia vivipara, a hepatic transcriptome and qPCR analysis of genes were carried out. Guppies separated by sex were injected with two doses of NP (15 μg/g and 150 μg/g) or peanut oil (control). After 24 h, analysis of transcriptional level of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR), Estrogen Nuclear Receptor Alpha (ESR1), Pregnane X Receptor (PXR), Cytochromes P450 (CYP1A, CYP2K1 and CYP3A30), Glutathione S-transferase A3 and Mu 3 (GSTa3 and GSTMu3), SRY-Box Transcription Factor 9 (SOX9), Vitellogenin-1 (VIT), ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily C Member 1 (ABCC1), Multidrug Resistance-Associated Protein 2 (MRP2) and UDP Glucuronosyltransferase Family 1 Member A1 (UGT1A1) was evaluated. 205,046 transcripts were assembled and protein prediction resulted in 203,147 predicted peptides. In females, no significant changes were detected in the transcription of some phase I biotransformation and ABC transporter genes. AhR, PXR, GSTa3 and SOX9 genes where higher in the lower dose group (15 μg/g) compared to control. In male fish, no changes were observed in the transcript levels of the nuclear receptors, in endocrine disruption and phase I biotransformation genes. GSTa3 showed lower transcription in fish treated with both doses. ABCC1 was higher in guppies treated with the lower dose while MRP2 showed less transcripts. This short-term and low-dose exposure to NP caused changes that could serve as early indicators of deleterious processes. These results indicate P. vivipara as a good sentinel in biomonitoring programs.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 844:157185. [PMID: 35803419 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.157185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2022] [Revised: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 07/01/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Nonylphenol (NP) is one of the most toxic and ubiquitously present endocrine disrupting compounds. Numerous studies have shown that NP exposure induces liver injury, but the interactions between epigenetic factors and necroptosis in this context have not been examined. In this study, rats received daily NP administration (15, 45, and 135 mg/kg/day) via oral gavage over a 28-day period. The upregulation of lncRNA PVT1 was associated with the elevated expression of necroptosis-related proteins (ZBP1, RIPK3, MLKL, and p-MLKL). Moreover, similar effects were also observed after NP exposure in BRL-3A cells. LncRNA PVT1 was predominantly expressed in the nucleus, and ASO was chosen to knock down lncRNA PVT1 in BRL-3A cells. Experimental techniques such as RNA immunoprecipitation, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and co-immunoprecipitation were used to verify direct binding interactions among lncRNA PVT1, EZH2, DNMT1, and ZBP1. The evidence obtained indicated that lncRNA PVT1 could bind to DNMT1 via EZH2 and increase methylation at the ZBP1 promoter, thereby promoting necroptosis. Meanwhile, the demethylation of the highly expressed gene TET1 also promoted ZBP1 upregulation, inducing necroptosis. Taken together, these findings provide valuable insights into the potential molecular mechanisms underlying liver injury in response to NP exposure. Hence, they lay a mechanistic foundation for the evaluation of NP biosafety.

Abstract
Zanthoxylum armatum DC. (ZADC) has anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and antibacterial effects. The cytotoxicity of methanol extract of Zanthoxylum armatum DC. (MZADC) has been reported for BRL 3 A cell lines. However, whether MZADC can induce liver damage in vivo remains unclear. Therefore, it is essential to explore whether ZADC causes liver injury and, if the results confirm hepatotoxicity, to further study the potential mechanisms for the in-vitro cytotoxicity of the BRL 3 A cell lines. In vivo, different doses (0.346, 0.519, and 1.038 g/kg/day) of MZADC treatment were given by intragastric administration among male Sprague Dawley rats for 28 days. Levels of serum alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the high dose group increased. Steatosis and focal necrosis were found in liver cells in rats in the high dose group. In vitro, BRL 3 A cells were cultivated with MZADC at different concentrations (30, 50, and 70 μg/mL) for 24 h. The cell viability, the number of autophagosomes, and the expression levels of LC3 and Beclin-1 were on a decreasing trend. Besides, proportions of p-mTOR/mTOR and p-ULK1/ULK1 increased. Meanwhile, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) were on the rise while the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of glutathione (GSH) was on the decline. This research suggests that MZADC may cause rats liver injury and inhibit autophagy in BRL 3 A cells by the mTOR/ULK1 pathway, and further induce intracellular oxidative damage.

Abstract
Nonylphenol (NP) exposure has become a crucial inducement of male reproductive disorders in the world. Therefore, it is urgent to seek solutions to alleviate the toxicity of NP. This study was oriented toward studying the protective effects of Macrolepiota procera mycelium polysaccharides (MMP) on NP-induced reproductive impairments. After NP administration, declined sperm amounts and testis index, increased the deformity rate of sperms, aberrant hormone secretion and testicular pathological injury were observed, corporately leading to reproductive capacity attenuation. Importantly, MMP significantly reversed the foregoing changes in NP-treated mice. Notably, it has been observed that the MMP therapy remarkably improved oxidative stress, apoptosis, autophagy and inflammatory responses, and suppressed the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in testicular tissues. These results manifested that MMP might be a promising treatment strategy for ameliorating the biotoxicity of NP.

Abstract
Progress in development of prognostic and therapeutic options for the rare cholestatic liver diseases, primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), is hampered by limited knowledge of their pathogeneses. In particular, the potential role of hepatotoxic and/or metabolism-altering environmental chemicals in the pathogenesis of these diseases remains relatively unstudied. Moreover, the extent to which metabolic pathways are altered due to ongoing cholestasis and subsequent liver damage or possibly influenced by hepatotoxic chemicals is poorly understood. In this study, we applied a comprehensive exposomics-metabolomics approach to uncover potential pathogenic contributors to PSC and PBC. We used untargeted high-resolution mass spectrometry to characterize a wide range of exogenous chemicals and endogenous metabolites in plasma and tested them for association with disease. Exposome-wide association studies (EWAS) identified environmental chemicals, including pesticides, additives and persistent pollutants, that were associated with PSC and/or PBC, suggesting potential roles for these compounds in disease pathogenesis. Metabolome-wide association studies (MWAS) found disease-associated alterations to amino acid, eicosanoid, lipid, co-factor, nucleotide, mitochondrial and microbial metabolic pathways, many of which were shared between PSC and PBC. Notably, this analysis implicates a potential role of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway in the pathogenesis of these diseases. Finally, EWAS × MWAS network analysis uncovered linkages between environmental agents and disrupted metabolic pathways that provide insight into potential mechanisms for PSC and PBC. Conclusion: This study establishes combined exposomics-metabolomics as a generalizable approach to identify potentially pathogenic environmental agents and enumerate metabolic alterations that may impact PSC and PBC, providing a foundation for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Deciphering the potential mechanism of chemical-induced toxicity enables us to alleviate the cellular and organismal dysfunction. The environmental presence of nonylphenol (endocrine disruptor) has a major health concern due to its widespread usage in our day-to-day life. The current study establishes a novel functional link among nonylphenol-induced oxidative stress, Heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27, member of stress protein family), and Ecdysone receptor (EcR, a nuclear receptor), which eventually coordinates the nonylphenol-induced sub-cellular and organismal level toxicity in a genetically tractable model Drosophila melanogaster. Drosophila larvae exposed to nonylphenol (0.05, 0.5 and 5.0 μg/mL) showed a significant decrease in Hsp27 and EcR mRNA levels in the midgut. In concurrence, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were increased with a corresponding decline in glutathione (GSH) level and Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) activity. Increased lipid peroxidation (LPO), protein carbonyl (PC) contents, and cell death were also observed in a correlation with the nonylphenol concentrations. Sub-cellular toxicity poses a negative organismal response, which was evident by delayed larval development and reduced Drosophila emergence. Subsequently, a positive genetic correlation (p < 0.001) between EcR and Hsp27 revealed that nonylphenol-dependent EcR reduction is a possible link for the downregulation of Hsp27. Further, Hsp27 overexpression in midgut cells showed a reduction in nonylphenol-induced intracellular ROS, LPO, PC content, and cell death through the TrxR mediated regenerative pathway and reduced GSH level improving the organismal response to the nonylphenol exposure. Altogether, the study elucidates the potential EcR-Hsp27 molecular interactions in mitigating the nonylphenol-induced cellular and organismal toxicity.

Chronic exposure to nonylphenol induces oxidative stress and liver damage in male zebrafish (Danio rerio): Mechanistic insight into cellular energy sensors, lipid accumulation and immune modulation. Chem Biol Interact 2022; 351:109762.

Abstract
Nonylphenol (NP), an environmentally persistent and toxic endocrine-disrupting chemical with estrogenic properties, has severe implications on humans and wildlife. Accumulating evidence demonstrates the toxic response of NP on the developmental process, nervous system, and reproductive parameters. Although NP exposure has been implicated in chronic liver injury, the underlying events associated with hepatic pathophysiology remain less investigated. Using male zebrafish (Danio rerio) as the model, the present study investigates the impact of environmentally relevant concentrations of NP (50 and 100 μg/L, 21 days) on hepatic redox homeostasis vis-à-vis cellular energy sensors, inflammatory response, and cell death involving a mechanistic insight into estrogen receptor (ER) modulation. Our results demonstrate that congruent with significant alteration in transcript abundance of antioxidant enzymes (SOD1, SOD2, Catalase, GPx1a, GSTα1), chronic exposure to NP promotes ROS synthesis, more specifically superoxide anions and H2O2 levels, and lipid peroxidation potentially through elevated NOX4 expression. Importantly, NP perturbation of markers associated with fatty acid biosynthesis (srebf1/fasn) and cellular energy-sensing network (sirt1/ampkα/pgc1α) indicates dysregulated energy homeostasis, metabolic disruption, and macrovesicular steatosis, albeit with differential sensitivity at the dose level tested. Besides, elevated p38-MAPK phosphorylation (activation) together with loss of ER homeostasis at both mRNA (esr1, esr2a, esr2b) and protein (ERα, ERβ) levels suggest that NP modulation of ER abundance may have a significant influence on hepatic events. Elevated expression of inflammatory markers (TLR4, p-NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and NOS2) and pro-apoptotic and necrotic regulators, e.g., Bax, caspase- 8, -9 and cleaved PARP1 (50 kDa), indicate chronic inflammation and hepatotoxicity in NP-exposed males. Collectively, elevated oxidative stress, metabolic dysregulation and immune modulation may lead to chronic liver injury in organisms exposed to metabolic disrupting chemicals.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has increasingly become a serious public health problem. There is growing evidence that nonylphenol (NP) exposure may cause steatosis, but the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. Curcumin (CUR) improves NAFLD-related lipid metabolism disorders and oxidative stress, but its preventive and therapeutic effects on NP-induced steatosis have not been reported. The objective of this investigation was to determine the capability and potential mechanism of NP to induce steatosis in vitro and the intervention of curcumin. HepG2 cells were treated with 0 μM, 20 μM, 30 μM, 40 μM NP for 24 h. Lipid droplets accumulated significantly in HepG2 cells after NP treatment, and the concentration of triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (T-CHO) increased significantly. Simultaneously, lipogenesis gene expression was up-regulated significantly, fatty acid oxidation (FAO) gene expression was significantly down-regulated, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were overproduced. Meanwhile, the expression of p-AMPK/AMPK in the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway was significantly down-regulated and the expression of p-mTOR/mTOR was markedly up-regulated. However, blocking ROS production with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) can reverse these phenomena. In addition, our study found that curcumin effectively ameliorated the effects of NP-induced steatosis. Our study indicates that NP can induce steatosis in HepG2 cells, and may be implicated in inhibiting the ROS-dependent AMPK/mTOR pathway, and that curcumin ameliorates the NAFLD-like changes induced by NP in HepG2 cells.

Association of endocrine disrupting chemicals levels in serum, environmental risk factors, and hepatic function among 5- to 14-year-old children. Toxicology 2021; 465:153011. [PMID: 34715266 DOI: 10.1016/j.tox.2021.153011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2021] [Revised: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) might increase the risk of childhood diseases by disrupting hormone-mediated processes that are critical for growth and development during childhood, however, the association among the exposure level of EDCs such as Nonylphenol (NP), Bisphenol A (BPA), Dimethyl phthalate (DMP) in children and environmental risk factors, as well as hepatic function has not been elaborated. This study aimed to discuss this interesting relationship among NP, BPA, DMP concentrations in serum, environmental risk factors, hepatic function of 5- to 14-year-old children in industrial zone, residential zone and suburb in northern district of Guizhou Province, China. In Zunyi city, 1006 children participated in cross-sectional health assessments from July to August 2018, and their parents completed identical questionnaires on the environmental risk factors of EDCs exposure to mothers and children. Serum NP, BPA and DMP concentrations were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), AST/ALT, total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL) and indirect bilirubin (IBIL) were detected with automatic biochemical analyzer. The median concentrations of serum NP, BPA, and DMP in the participants were 45.85 ng/mL, 26.31 ng/mL and 31.62 ng/mL, respectively, which were higher than the environmental concentration limits of the U.S. National Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Hair gels used during pregnancy, types of domestic drinking water, nail polish and cosmetics used by children were significantly positive correlated with serum NP concentration (P < 0.05). Gender, feeding pattern, plastic water cup used during pregnancy, hair spray and perfume use for children, duration of children birth, materials for baby bottle or cup and ways to plastic products were significantly positively correlated with serum BPA concentration (P < 0.05). Gender, perms used during pregnancy, hair spray and perfume use for children, using plastic lunch box during pregnancy, duration of children birth, exposure to pesticides, parents' occupations were significantly positively correlated with serum DMP concentrations (P < 0.05). Serum NP (β = 0.296, P = 0.036) and DMP (β = 0.316, P = 0.026) concentrations and TBIL level were significantly positively correlated. Serum NP concentration and the levels of IBIL (β = 0.382, P = 0.006) are significantly positively correlated. Cosmetics used during pregnancy significantly increased AST level (β = 2.641, P = 0.021). There was a positive correlation between the frequency of hair spray and perfume use for children and the AST (β = 4.241, P = 0.022). NP, BPA and DMP, which were commonly detected in the serum of children aged 5-14 years old in Zunyi City, Northern Guizhou Province, China, were closely related to the environmental risk factors of exposure environment during pregnancy, infancy and school age. Exposure to NP, BPA and DMP would have negative effects on hepatic function, and these effects showed differences in gender and geographical location. Notably,The relationships were more evident in girls than in boys.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Chronic exposure to environmental endocrine disruptors like nonylphenol (NP), has been shown in previous studies to predispose to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
METHODS: In this work, forty adult male albino rats were divided into four groups, a high sucrose-high-fat diet (HSHFD) group, a group receiving 20 μg/kg/day of NP, an NP + HSHFD group, and a control group. The rats were sacrificed on day 60 after anesthetization.
RESULTS: Biochemical tests indicated that serum transaminases (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase) were significantly increased in the NP + HSHFD group. Lipid metabolism was most disrupted in the NP + HSHFD with a highly significant increase (p < 0.001) of serum cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol compared to other groups. Heme oxygenase 1 showed the highest expression in the NP + HSHFD group, with a highly significant difference in comparison with the other groups (p < 0.001). Histopathological studies revealed fatty changes and dilatation in the central vein in the HSHFD group. Lymphoid cell aggregates were detected in the NP group. Massive inflammation and degeneration were revealed in the NP + HSHFD group. There was also marked expression of the apoptotic protein caspase-3 in the NP + HSHFD group.
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, exposure to a 20 μg/kg/day of NP induced oxidative stress leading to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

Abstract
This study was aimed at evaluating the protective effect of sodium selenite (SS) on DNA integrity, antioxidant/oxidant status, and histological changes on 4-nonylphenol (4-NP)-induced toxicity in liver and kidney tissues of rats. Twenty-four adult male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups as control, SS, 4-NP, and SS+4-NP group. Control group was untreated. The SS group was supplemented with SS (0.5 mg/kg/day) and the 4-NP group was given 4-NP (125 mg/kg/day). The rats in the SS+4-NP group received SS followed by 4-NP 1 h later at the abovementioned doses. The treatments were administered by oral gavage for 48 days. DNA damage was analyzed by comet assay in lymphocytes. Oxidative stress parameters were measured, and histological evaluation was performed in liver and kidney tissues. Results showed that SS administration significantly decreased % Tail DNA and Mean Tail Moment in SS+4-NP group as compared with 4-NP group. Catalase activity in liver was significantly lower in 4-NP group only. SS treatment significantly increased the glutathione level and decreased high malondialdehyde level in tissues of the SS+4-NP group as compared with 4-NP group. Dilation of central vein, ballooning degeneration, vacuolar degeneration, and deterioration in the structure of remark cords in 4-NP-administered were alleviated in rats that received SS supplementation before administration of 4-NP. Moreover, glycogen intensity in hepatocytes and the wall of central vein increased in the SS+4-NP group. In addition, the SS supplementation in the SS+4-NP group decreased glomerular degeneration as well as the width of cavum glomeruli and congestion intensity in the kidney. These results indicate that SS may have a protective effect against 4-NP-induced hepato-nephrotoxicity in rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bisphenol A (BPA) and nonylphenol (NP) are widely distributed endocrine-disrupting compounds. We aimed to estimate the combined toxicity of BPA and NP at a clinically safe dose (100 μg/kg) in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Liver and kidney functions were evaluated by detecting the relevant indicators. Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining was performed to examine the injury in the tissue. TUNEL assay and Western blot were used to detect cell apoptosis and expressions of target factors, respectively. RESULTS The body weight of rats in the BPA + NP group was lighter than that in the BPA or NP group. BPA or NP weakened liver function through increasing levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), cholesterol (CHOL), triglyceride TG, globulin (GLOB), treponemiapallidum (TP), and total bilirubin (TBIL). BPA and NP could induce kidney damage by elevating the levels of serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Moreover, the malondialdehyde (MDA) content was increased, whereas the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), glutathione sulfotransferase (GSH-ST), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD) were reduced in those groups exposed to BPA or NP. HE staining exhibited injuries of the liver and kidney. Furthermore, the apoptosis of liver and kidney cells was enhanced by exposure to BPA or NP. Additionally, the expressions of CYP2D6, CYP1A1, and CYP2E1 were triggered by the treatment of BPA or NP. The combined effect of BPA and NP seemed to be antagonistic at a low dose. CONCLUSION BPA and NP may have potential interactions.

Abstract
4-Nonylphenol (4-NP) is an emerging environmental pollutant widely diffused in waters and sediments. It mainly derives from the degradation of alkyl phenol ethoxylates, compounds commonly employed as industrial surfactants. 4-NP strongly contaminates foods and waters for human use; thus, it displays a wide range of toxic effects not only for aquatic organisms but also for mammals and humans. After ingestion through the diet, it tends to accumulate in body fluids and tissues. One of the main organs where 4-NP and its metabolites are concentrated is the liver, where it causes, even at low doses, oxidative stress and apoptosis. In the present study, we analyzed the effects of 4-NP on a human hepatic cell line (HepG2) to deepen the knowledge of its cytotoxic mechanism. We found that 4-NP, in a range of concentration from 50 to 100 μM, significantly reduced cell viability; it caused a partial block of proliferation and induced apoptosis with activation of caspase-3 and overexpression of p53. Moreover, 4-NP induced-apoptosis seemed to involve both an ER-stress response, with the appearance of high level of GRP78, CHOP and the spliced XBP1, and a dysregulation of mitochondrial physiology, characterized by an overexpression of main markers of mitochondrial dynamics. Our data support the idea that a daily consumption of 4-NP-contaminated foods may lead to local damages at the level of gastrointestinal system, including liver, with negative consequences for the organ physiology.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered the most common liver disorder, affecting around 25% of the population worldwide. It is a complex disease spectrum, closely linked with other conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome, which may increase liver-related mortality. In light of this, numerous efforts have been carried out in recent years in order to clarify its pathogenesis and create new prevention strategies. Currently, the essential role of environmental pollutants in NAFLD development is recognized. Particularly, endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have a notable influence. EDCs can be classified as natural (phytoestrogens, genistein, and coumestrol) or synthetic, and the latter ones can be further subdivided into industrial (dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, and alkylphenols), agricultural (pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides), residential (phthalates, polybrominated biphenyls, and bisphenol A), and pharmaceutical (parabens). Several experimental models have proposed a mechanism involving this group of substances with the disruption of hepatic metabolism, which promotes NAFLD. These include an imbalance between lipid influx/efflux in the liver, mitochondrial dysfunction, liver inflammation, and epigenetic reprogramming. It can be concluded that exposure to EDCs might play a crucial role in NAFLD initiation and evolution. However, further investigations supporting these effects in humans are required.

Abstract
Nonylphenol (NP), an endocrine-disrupting chemical, interferes with reproductive function and induces oxidative stress in different organs, including the testis and prostate. Alpinia officinarum Hance (ALP), a plant species of the Zingiberaceae family, has proven antioxidant properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the alcoholic extract of ALP treatment on NP-induced reproductive toxicity and oxidative stress in male rats using biochemical and histopathological biomarkers. Our experimental groups were defined as follows: oil treatment (control), NP 10 mg/kg, ALP 10 mg/kg (ALP HD), NP + ALP 5 mg/kg (NP + ALP LD) and NP + ALP 10 mg/kg (NP + ALP HD). NP administration caused significant cytotoxicity and a significant increase in oxidative stress prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels accompanied by a significant reduction in testosterone levels. The relative weight of the testis of both NP + ALP LD and NP + ALP HD groups was significantly decreased compared to the control group. Histopathological evaluations revealed destructive effects in testis and prostate tissue samples. In conclusion, ALP administration improved cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, testosterone and PSA levels, and testis and prostate tissue destructive effects induced by the NP in male rats.

Abstract
Nonylphenol (NP) is a representative environmental endocrine-disrupting compound that can induce oxidative stress in organisms. The Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)-nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway acts an important role in preventing oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of oxidative stress caused by NP on Keap1-Nrf2 pathway in rats. Rats were treated with NP (30, 90, 270 mg/kg) for different exposure time (7, 14 and 28 days). The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in serum and glutathione S-transferase (GST), UDP-Glucuronosyl Transferase (UGT) in liver were detected by ELISA kits. Western blot was used to detect Keap1, Nrf2 protein expression in liver and cerebral cortex. The results showed that 28 days of NP exposure significantly increased ROS levels in NPH group. And 14 days exposure to NP significantly enhanced the levels of GST and UGT, while 28 days of exposure showed a suppressive effect. In liver, Keap1 levels was upregulated at 7, 14 and 28 days of NP exposure, while nuclear Nrf2 levels decreased at 7 and 28 days but increased at 14 days. In cerebral cortex, Keap1 and Nrf2 expression increased at 14 days but decreased at 28 days. Besides, with the prolongation of NP exposure time, the GST and UGT levels in NPM and NPH groups were increased firstly and then decreased, while Keap1 and Nrf2 protein levels were constantly decreased in liver and cerebral cortex. In conclusion, the lower dose and shorter exposure time of NP activated the Keap1-Nrf2 pathway that may reduce the damage of oxidative stress, but when further exposed to NP at higher dose and time, the pathway could be inhibited.

Abstract
Nonylphenol (NP) is a bioaccumulative environmental estrogen that is widely used as a nonionic surfactant. We have previously examined short-term effects of NP on yeast cells using microarray technology. In the present study, we investigated the adaptive response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4742 cells to NP exposure by analyzing genome-wide transcriptional profiles using RNA-sequencing. We used 2 mg/L NP concentration for 40 days of exposure. Gene expression analysis showed that a total of 948 genes were differentially expressed. Of these, 834 genes were downregulated, while 114 genes were significantly upregulated. GO enrichment analysis revealed that 369 GO terms were significantly affected by NP exposure. Further analysis showed that many of the differentially expressed genes were associated with oxidative phosphorylation, iron and copper acquisition, autophagy, pleiotropic drug resistance and cell cycle progression related processes such as DNA and mismatch repair, chromosome segregation, spindle checkpoint activity, and kinetochore organization. Overall, these results provide considerable information and a comprehensive understanding of the adaptive response to NP exposure at the gene expression level.

[PMID: 33213348 PMCID: PMC8719294 DOI: 10.2174/1570159x18666201119160347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2020] [Revised: 10/07/2020] [Accepted: 10/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonylphenol (NP), a chemical compound widely used in industry, is the result of the nonylphenol ethoxylate decomposition and it is known as an estrogen-like compound. Numerous studies and researches have shown that it has many destructive functions of various organs such as the brain. This toxicant causes oxidative stress in the cortex and hippocampus cells, which are two essential regions to preserve memory and learning in the brain. METHODS This review examines recent findings to better understanding the mechanisms of NP neurotoxicity. We used Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed databases to find articles focused on the destructive effects of NP on the oxidative stress pathway and its defense mechanisms. RESULTS NP has potential human health hazards associated with gestational, peri- and postnatal exposure. NP can disrupt brain homeostasis in different ways, such as activation of inflammatory factors in brain especially in hippocampus and cortex, disruption of the cell cycle, changes in neuron, dendrites and synapses morphology, disruption of extra and intracellular calcium ion balance and also memory and learning disorders.

Abstract
4-Nonylphenol (4-NP) is an anthropogenic contaminant found in different environmental matrices that has an effect over the biotic and abiotic factors within the environment. Bioremediation by microorganisms can be used as a potential treatment to remove this pollutant. In this work, a consortium of two microorganisms, Arthrospira maxima and Chlorella vulgaris, was employed to remove 4-NP from water. The parameters analyzed included cell growth, removal of 4-NP, and 4-NP remnant in the biomass. In addition, the metabolites produced in the process by this consortium were identified. It was found that C. vulgaris is more resistant to 4-NP than A. maxima (cell growth inhibition by 4-NP of 99%). The consortium used in this study had an IC50 greater than any strain of microalgae or cyanobacteria reported for 4-NP removal (9.29 mg/L) and reduced up to 96% of 4-NP in water in the first 48 h of culture. It was also observed that there is a bio-transformation of 4-NP, comparable with the process carried out by another bacterium, in which three similar metabolites were found (4-(1-methyl-octyl)-4-hydroxy-cyclohex-2-enone, 4-nonyl-4-hydroxy-ciclohexa-2,5-dienone and 4-nonyl-4-hydroxy- ciclohex-2-enone) and one that is similar to plant metabolism (4-nonyl-(1-methyl,6,8-metoxy)-hydroxybenzene). These results indicate that microalgae and cyanobacteria consortium can be used to remove 4-NP from water.

Levels of NP and BPA in the Pearl River Estuary, China: Fluctuations with Country Policy Changes over the Past 40 Years. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2019; 16:ijerph16214100. [PMID: 31653046 PMCID: PMC6862134 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph16214100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2019] [Revised: 10/02/2019] [Accepted: 10/23/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Sediment cores were collected from four outlets in the Pearl River Estuary (Guangdong Province, China) and dated using the 210Pb method to investigate the pollution history of the area due to its relatively stable sedimentation status and hydrographic conditions in recent decades. The ages of the sediment cores were dated over 40 years (1968–2015). The concentrations at the four outlets ranged from 2.21 to 48.52 ng g−1 dw for nonylphenol and were non-detectable for 23.64 ng g−1 dw for bisphenol A (BPA), which exhibited a decreasing trend from north to south as well as seaward. The fluxes (2.84 to 112.91 ng cm−2 yr−1 and non-detectable to 59.33 ng cm−2 yr−1 for nonylphenol and bisphenol A, respectively) stabilized in the 1980s to 1990s due to the construction of sewage treatment systems. The fluxes increased again in the 21st century, which reached a peak ca. 2010 but declined in recent years due to the establishment of regulations and the decreasing number of industrial enterprises. Fluctuations in the pollution composition coincided with industrial development and governmental policies.

Abstract
Because of the serious side effects of the currently used bronchodilators, new compounds with similar functions must be developed. We screened several herbs and found that Polygonum aviculare L. contains ingredients that inhibit the precontraction of mouse and human airway smooth muscle (ASM). High K+-induced precontraction in ASM was completely inhibited by nifedipine, a selective blocker of L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (LVDCCs). However, nifedipine only partially reduced the precontraction induced by acetylcholine chloride (ACH). Additionally, the ACH-induced precontraction was partly reduced by pyrazole-3 (Pyr3), a selective blocker of TRPC3 and stromal interaction molecule (STIM)/Orai channels. These channel-mediated currents were inhibited by the compounds present in P. aviculare extracts, suggesting that this inhibition was mediated by LVDCCs, TRPC3 and/or STIM/Orai channels. Moreover, these channel-mediated currents were inhibited by quercetin, which is present in P. aviculare extracts. Furthermore, quercetin inhibited ACH-induced precontraction in ASM. Overall, our data indicate that the ethyl acetate fraction of P. aviculare and quercetin can inhibit Ca2+-permeant LVDCCs, TRPC3 and STIM/Orai channels, which inhibits the precontraction of ASM. These findings suggest that P. aviculare could be used to develop new bronchodilators to treat obstructive lung diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Abstract
Endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) has been thought to play a role in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the toxic effects of Nonylphenol (NP), an EDC, on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease have never been elaborated. This study aimed to investigate whether exposure to NP could induce NAFDL, a promoting effect of high-sucrose-high-fat diet (HSHFD) on the adverse effects caused by NP was evaluated. Fourth eight male rats were assigned to four groups and each group was treated with a specific testing sample: normal-diet (ND) control group (C-ND); normal diet plus NP (180mg/kg/day) group (NP-ND); high-sucrose-high-fat-diet control group (C-HSHFD); HSHFD plus NP (180mg/kg/day) group (NP-HSHFD). At the age of 80 day, sonogram presents diffusely increased hepatic echogenicity in the NP-HSHFD group. The oblique diameter of liver in the NP-HSHFD group was significantly bigger than that in both the C-ND and NP-ND groups. At the age of 90 day, exposure to NP-HSHFD and NP-ND caused a significant increase in NP concentration in liver as compared to the C-ND group. The rats in the groups treated with NP+ND, HSHFD and NP+HSHFD produced significant increases in the body weight, fat weight and FMI, respectively, when compared to the C-ND group. The liver weight and hepatosomatic indexes (HIS) of rats in the NP-HSHFD group are higher than those in the C-HSHFD group. Exposure to NP-HSHFD induced the increases in plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) as compared to the C-ND group. Morphological examination of liver tissue from rats exposed to NP+HSHFD shown steatosis with marked accumulation of lipid droplets, hepatocellular ballooning degeneration and inflammatory cell infiltration. Chronic exposure to NP might induce NAFLD in male rats. The high-sucrose-high-fat diet accelerates and exacerbates the development of NAFLD caused by NP exposure.
