Abstract
Psoriasis is classified as an autoimmune disorder characterized by abnormal immune response leading to the development of chronic dermal inflammation. Most individuals have a genetic vulnerability that may be further influenced by epigenetic changes occurring due to multiple variables such as pollutant exposure. Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation possess a dynamic nature, enabling cellular differentiation and adaptation by controlling gene expression. Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and psoriatic inflammation are known to cause modification of DNA methylation via DNA methyltransferase (DNMT). However, it is not known whether DEHP, a ubiquitous plasticizer affects psoriatic inflammation via DNMT modulation. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of DNMT inhibitor, 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (AZA) on DEHP-induced changes in the expression of DNMT1, global DNA methylation, and anti-/inflammatory parameters (p-STAT3, IL-17A, IL-6, iNOS, IL-10, Foxp3, Nrf2, HO-1) in the skin and the peripheral adaptive/ myeloid immune cells (CD4+ T cells/CD11b+ cells) in imiquimod (IMQ) model of psoriasiform inflammation. Further, psoriasis-associated clinical/histopathological features (ear thickness, ear weight, ear PASI score, MPO activity, and H&E staining of the ear and the back skin) were also analyzed in IMQ model. Our data show that IMQ-treated mice with DEHP exposure had increased DNMT1 expression and DNA methylation which was associated with elevated inflammatory (p-STAT3, IL-17A, IL-6, iNOS) and downregulated anti-inflammatory mediators (IL-10, Foxp3, Nrf2, HO-1) in the peripheral immune cells (CD4+ T cells/CD11b+ cells) and the skin as compared to IMQ-treated mice. Treatment with DNMT1 inhibitor caused reduction in inflammatory and elevation in anti-inflammatory parameters with significant improvement in clinical/histopathological symptoms in both IMQ-treated and DEHP-exposed IMQ-treated mice. In conclusion, our study shows strong evidence indicating that DNMT1 plays an important role in DEHP-induced exacerbation of psoriasiform inflammation in mice through hypermethylation of DNA.

Worsening of imiquimod-induced psoriasiform inflammation in mice by environmental pollutant, di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate through dysregulation in IL-17A and Nrf2/iNOS signaling in peripheral myeloid and CD4 + T cells. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 126:111293.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a devastating autoimmune illness resulting from excessive keratinocyte growth and leukocyte infiltration into the dermis/epidermis. In the pathogenesis of psoriasis, different immune cells such as myeloid cells and CD4 + T cells play a key role. Th17/Th1 immune responses and oxidant-antioxidant responses are critical in regulation of psoriatic inflammation. Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is one of the well-known plasticizers and has widespread use worldwide. DEHP exposure through ingestion may produce harmful effects on the skin through systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, which may modify psoriatic inflammation. However, the effect of oral DEHP exposure on inflammatory cytokines and Nrf2/iNOS signaling in myeloid cells and CD4 + T cells in the context of psoriatic inflammation has not been investigated earlier. Therefore, this study explored the effect of DEHP on systemic inflammation in myeloid cells (IL-6, IL-17A, IL-23), Th17 (p-STAT3, IL-17A, IL-23R, TNF-α), Th1 (IFN-γ), Treg (Foxp3, IL-10), and Nrf2/iNOS signaling in imiquimod (IMQ)-induced mouse model of psoriasis-like inflammation. Our study showed increased Th17 signaling in imiquimod model which was further aggravated by DEHP exposure. Further, Nrf2 and iNOS signaling were also elevated in IMQ model where DEHP exposure further increased iNOS expression but did not modify the Nrf2 expression. Most importantly, IL-17A levels were also elevated in myeloid cells along with IL-6 which were further elevated by DEHP exposure. Overall, this study shows that IL-17A signaling is upregulated, whereas there is deficiency of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling by DEHP exposure in mice with psoriasiform inflammation. These observations suggest that DEHP aggravates IL-17A-mediated signaling both in CD4 + T cells as well as myeloid cells which is linked to exacerbation of IMQ-induced psoriatic inflammation in mice. Strategies that counteract the effect of DEHP exposure in the context of psoriatic inflammation through downregulation of IL-17A may be fruitful.

Abstract
Childhood asthma has become one of the most common chronic diseases in children and adolescents. However, few case–control studies investigating the relationship between phthalate exposure and asthma in children and adolescents have been conducted, especially in Asia. Therefore, we assessed the potential associations between phthalate exposure and asthma among children and adolescents in Taiwan. Because various demographic and environmental variables may influence the incidence and prognosis of asthma, we performed a case–control study with propensity score matching. Out of 615 Childhood Environment and Allergic Diseases Study participants, we conditionally matched 41 children with clinically diagnosed asthma with 111 controls. We then analyzed 11 phthalate metabolites by using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Compared with the control group, the median urinary phthalate levels for most phthalate metabolites in the case group were slightly increased, including monomethyl phthalate, mono-n-butyl phthalate, monobenzyl phthalate, monoethylhexyl phthalate, mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate, mono-(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate, mono-(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate, and mono-(2-carboxymethylhexyl) phthalate. Hence, our results suggest that phthalate exposure may be associated with the development of asthma. In addition, prenatal environmental factors, such as active or passive smoking during pregnancy, may increase the risk of asthma.

Abstract
Background: Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) affects the immune system and causes mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the effects of systemic exposure to BaP on mite allergen-induced atopic dermatitis (AD)-like skin lesions in mice. Methods: Mite allergen (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus; Dp) was injected intradermally into the right ears of NC/Nga male mice on eight occasions every 2-3 days. Benzo[a]pyrene was administered intraperitoneally in the equivalent doses of 0, 2, 20, 200, or 2000 μg/kg/day, once a week on four occasions. Results: AD-like skin inflammation related to mite allergen worsened by BaP exposure at 2, 20 µg/kg/day doses; this was in parallel with eosinophil and mast cell infiltration and mast cell degranulation. A trend was also observed toward increased proinflammatory molecule expression, including macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, and IL-18, in the ear tissue. However, 200 or 2000 µg/kg/day BaP attenuated the enhancing effects. In the regional lymph nodes, 2 µg/kg/day BaP with Dp enhanced antigen-presenting cell and T cell activation compared with Dp alone. Conclusions: This suggests that BaP exposure can aggravate Dp-induced AD-like skin lesions through TH2-biased responses in the inflamed sites and the activation of regional lymph nodes. Therefore, BaP may be responsible for the recent increase in AD incidence.

Abstract
Phthalates are among the most ubiquitous environmental contaminants and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Exposure to phthalates and related health effects have been extensively studied over the past four decades. An association between phthalate exposure and allergic diseases has been suggested, although the literature is far from conclusive. This article reviews and evaluates epidemiological (n = 43), animal (n = 49), and cell culture studies (n = 42), published until the end of 2019, on phthalates and allergic diseases, such as asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis, and eczema. In contrast to earlier reviews, emphasis is placed on experimental studies that use concentrations with relevance for human exposure. Epidemiological studies provide support for associations between phthalate exposures and airway, nasal, ocular, and dermal allergic disease outcomes, although the reported significant associations tend to be weak and demonstrate inconsistencies for any given phthalate. Rodent studies support that phthalates may act as adjuvants at levels likely to be relevant for environmental exposures, inducing respiratory and inflammatory effects in the presence of an allergen. Cell culture studies demonstrate that phthalates may alter the functionality of innate and adaptive immune cells. However, due to limitations of the applied exposure methods and models in experimental studies, including the diversity of phthalates, exposure routes, and allergic diseases considered, the support provided to the epidemiological findings is fragmented. Nevertheless, the current evidence points in the direction of concern. Further research is warranted to identify the most critical windows of exposure, the importance of exposure pathways, interactions with social factors, and the effects of co-exposure to phthalates and other environmental contaminants.

Abstract
Bisphenols and phthalates leach from medical devices, and this exposure is likely to increase in postcardiac surgery patients. Previous studies suggest that such chemical exposure may impact recovery and wound healing, yet the direct effects of bisphenols and phthalates are unknown in this context. To study the direct effect of clinically based chemical exposures, we measured the metabolites representative of 6 bisphenols and 10 phthalates in men before and after cardiac surgery and then replicated this exposure in a mouse model of cardiac surgery and assessed survival, cardiac function and inflammation. Bisphenol A (BPA), di-ethyl hexyl phthalate (DEHP), butylbenzyl phthalate, di-isodecyl phthalate, and di-n-butyl phthalate metabolites were increased after surgery. DEHP exposure predominated, was positively correlated with duration on the cardiopulmonary bypass machine and exceeded its tolerable daily intake limit by 37-fold. In vivo, C57bl/6 N male mice treated with BPA+phthalates during recovery from surgery-induced myocardial infarction had reduced survival, greater cardiac dilation, reduced cardiac function and increased infiltration of neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages suggesting impaired recovery. Of interest, genetic ablation or estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) antagonism did not improve recovery and replacement of DEHP with tri-octyl trimellitate or removal of BPA from the mixture did not ameliorate these effects. To examine the direct effects on inflammation, treatment of human THP-1 macrophages with BPA and phthalates induced a dysfunctional proinflammatory macrophage phenotype with increased expression of M1-type macrophage polarization markers and MMP9 secretion, yet reduced phagocytic activity. These results suggest that chemicals escape from medical devices and may impair patient recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Contradictory results exist regarding the importance of early-life exposure to phthalates for development of childhood eczema. OBJECTIVES We evaluated the association between maternal urinary concentrations of phthalate metabolites between the 24th and 28th week of gestation and occurrence of eczema in their sons up to 5 y of age, according to allergic sensitization as assessed by total immunoglobulin E (IgE) in a subsample of individuals. METHODS Data on health outcomes and background factors were collected using five standardized annual questionnaires completed by parents at the children's ages of 1-5 y, and their associations with phthalate metabolite urinary concentrations were assessed in 604 mother-son pairs with adjusted multiple logistic regression and Cox's survival model. Several eczema phenotypes were considered. Atopic status was assessed at 5 y of age in 293 boys through total IgE assessment. RESULTS At 5 y of age, the prevalence of ever eczema was 30.4%. Metabolites of di-isobutyl phthalate (DiBP) and di-isononyl phthalate (DiNP) were positively associated with early-onset (0-24 mo of age) eczema (15.7%) and late-onset (24-60 mo of age) eczema (14.7%). Applying the Cox's model showed a significant association of occurrence of eczema in the first 5 y of life with DiBP and DiNP metabolites. Among IgE-sensitized boys, metabolites of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) and DiBP were significantly associated with ever eczema {hazard ratio (HR)=1.67 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10, 2.54], p=0.01 and HR=1.87 (95% CI: 1.01, 3.48), p=0.04, respectively}. CONCLUSIONS Occurrence of eczema in early childhood may be influenced by prenatal exposure to certain phthalates in boys. Further investigations are needed to confirm this observation. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1829.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phenols and phthalates may have immunomodulatory and proinflammatory effects and thereby adversely affect respiratory health. OBJECTIVE We estimated the associations between gestational exposure to select phthalates and phenols and respiratory health in boys. METHODS Among 587 pregnant women from the EDEN (Etude des Déterminants pré et post natals du développement et de la santé de l'Enfant) cohort who delivered a boy, 9 phenols and 11 phthalates metabolites were quantified in spot pregnancy urine samples. Respiratory outcomes were followed up by questionnaires until age 5, when forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) was measured by spirometry. Adjusted associations of urinary metabolites log-transformed concentrations with respiratory outcomes and FEV1 in percent predicted (FEV1%) were estimated by survival and linear regression models, respectively. RESULTS No phenol or phthalate metabolite exhibited clear deleterious associations simultaneously with several respiratory outcomes. Ethyl-paraben was associated with increased asthma rate [hazard rate (HR)=1.10; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.00, 1.21] and tended to be negatively associated with FEV1% (beta=-0.59; 95% CI: -1.24, 0.05); bisphenol A tended to be associated with increased rates of asthma diagnosis (HR=1.23; 95% CI: 0.97, 1.55) and bronchiolitis/bronchitis (HR=1.13; 95% CI: 0.99, 1.30). Isolated trends for deleterious associations were also observed between 2,5-dichlorophenol and wheezing, and between monocarboxynonyl phthalate, a metabolite of di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP), and wheezing. CONCLUSION Ethyl-paraben, bisphenol A, 2,5-dichlorophenol, and DIDP tended to be associated with altered respiratory health, with ethyl-paraben and bisphenol A exhibiting some consistency across respiratory outcomes. The trends between bisphenol A pregnancy level and increased asthma and bronchiolitis/bronchitis rates in childhood were consistent with a previous cohort study. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1015.

Abstract
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a commonly used plasticizer, has an adjuvant effect in combination with ovalbumin (OVA). The adjuvant effect of DEHP has already been verified in our previous studies. In this study, to further investigate whether thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) was involved in the DEHP-adjuvant effect, DEHP was administered through a daily gavage exposure route. Mice were sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA) to trigger allergic responses, and an anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody was used to neutralize the effect of TSLP. Biomarkers including cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), serum total IgE and TSLP content in the lung were detected. In addition, airway hyperreactivity and lung sections were examined. Collectively, these data indicated a salient Th2 response which was characterized by the upregulation of Th2-type cytokines, such as interleukin 4 (IL-4), IL-5 and IL-13. Moreover, the eosinophil number in BALF and the eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in the lung were seen to have increased significantly. However, neutralization of TSLP with an anti-TSLP mAb reversed the adjuvant effect of DEHP on airway inflammation, structural alterations in the airway wall and increased airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) to methacholine induced by the OVA allergen, suggesting that TSLP was an effective target site for suppressing the adjuvant effect of DEHP co-exposure.
