Journal of hazardous materials 467 133679-133679 2024年4月5日Focusing on the relatively unexplored presence of micro- and nano-plastic aerosol particles, this study quantitatively assessed the emission of nano-plastic particles during the machining of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) in the working environment. Measurements of aerosol particles smaller than 1 µm in size were performed by aerosol mass spectrometry. The findings revealed that concentrations of carbonous aerosol particles (organic aerosol and refractory black carbon (rBC)) were higher during working hours than during non-working hours. Positive matrix factorization identified CFRP particles as a significant source, contributing an average of approximately 30% of concentration of carbonous aerosol particles during working hours. This source apportionment was corroborated by the presence of bisphenol A and F fragments, principal components of the epoxy resins used in CFRP, and was corroborated by similarities to the carbon cluster ion distribution observed in rBC during CFRP pipe-cutting operations. Further, the particle size distribution suggested the existence of plastic aerosol particles smaller than 100 nm. This study established the method to quantitatively distinguish nano-plastic aerosol particles from other aerosol particles in high temporal resolution and these techniques are useful for accurately assessing exposure to nano-plastic aerosol particles in working environments.

Archives of toxicology 2023年11月16日Acrylamide is an environmental electrophile that has been produced in large amounts for many years. There is concern about the adverse health effects of acrylamide exposure due to its widespread industrial use and also presence in commonly consumed foods and others. IL-1β is a key cytokine that protects the brain from inflammatory insults, but its role in acrylamide-induced neurotoxicity remains unknown. We reported recently that deletion of IL-1β gene exacerbates ACR-induced neurotoxicity in mice. The aim of this study was to identify genes or signaling pathway(s) involved in enhancement of ACR-induced neurotoxicity by IL-1β gene deletion or ACR-induced neurotoxicity to generate a hypothesis mechanism explaining ACR-induced neurotoxicity. C57BL/6 J wild-type and IL-1β KO mice were exposed to ACR at 0, 12.5, 25 mg/kg by oral gavage for 7 days/week for 4 weeks, followed by extraction of mRNA from mice cerebral cortex for RNA sequence analysis. IL-1β deletion altered the expression of genes involved in extracellular region, including upregulation of PFN1 gene related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and increased the expression of the opposite strand of IL-1β. Acrylamide exposure enhanced mitochondria oxidative phosphorylation, synapse and ribosome pathways, and activated various pathways of different neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, Huntington disease, and prion disease. Protein network analysis suggested the involvement of different proteins in related to learning and cognitive function, such as Egr1, Egr2, Fos, Nr4a1, and Btg2. Our results identified possible pathways involved in IL-1β deletion-potentiated and ACR-induced neurotoxicity in mice.

International journal of molecular sciences 24(12) 2023年6月8日Epidemiological studies showed the association between air pollution and dementia. A soluble fraction of particulate matters including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is suspected to be involved with the adverse effects of air pollution on the central nervous system of humans. It is also reported that exposure to benzopyrene (B[a]P), which is one of the PAHs, caused deterioration of neurobehavioral performance in workers. The present study investigated the effect of B[a]P on noradrenergic and serotonergic axons in mouse brains. In total, 48 wild-type male mice (10 weeks of age) were allocated into 4 groups and exposed to B[a]P at 0, 2.88, 8.67 or 26.00 µg/mice, which is approximately equivalent to 0.12, 0.37 and 1.12 mg/kg bw, respectively, by pharyngeal aspiration once/week for 4 weeks. The density of noradrenergic and serotonergic axons was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 areas. Exposure to B[a]P at 2.88 µg/mice or more decreased the density of noradrenergic or serotonergic axons in the CA1 area and the density of noradrenergic axons in the CA3 area in the hippocampus of mice. Furthermore, exposure to B[a]P dose-dependently upregulated Tnfα at 8.67 µg/mice or more, as well as upregulating Il-1β at 26 µg/mice, Il-18 at 2.88 and 26 µg/mice and Nlrp3 at 2.88 µg/mice. The results demonstrate that exposure to B[a]P induces degeneration of noradrenergic or serotonergic axons and suggest the involvement of proinflammatory or inflammation-related genes with B[a]P-induced neurodegeneration.

日本毒性学会学術年会 43 P-245 2016年<b>Introduction:</b> 1,2-Dichloropropane (1,2-DCP) has been used as an intermediate in production for other chemicals and as a paint remover. IARC reclassified it as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1) according to the epidemiological studies of cholangiocarcinoma among offset color proof-printing workers exposed to 1,2-DCP in Japan. The present study investigated hepatotoxicity and proliferation in the bile duct induced by exposure to 1,2-DCP and role of P450 in its toxicity by inhibiting P450 activity using 1-aminobenzotriazole (1-ABT).<br><b>Methods: </b>42 male C57BL/6JJcl mice were randomly divided into 7 groups of six each. Four groups of mice administrated subcutaneously with 1-ABT at 50mg/kg were exposed to 1,2-DCP at 0, 50, 250 and 1250 ppm, respectively via inhalation route, 8hs per day for 4 weeks. The other three groups administered with saline were exposed to 1,2-DCP at 0, 50 and 250 ppm, respectively. Organ samples were collected under anesthesia at the end of the experiment. BrdU was injected intraperitoneally to the mice one hour prior to dissection for observation of proliferation in bile duct epithelial cells.<br><b>Results:</b> Serious hepatic pathological changes were found in the groups of 1250 ppm 1,2-DCP with 1-ABT injection and 250 ppm 1,2-DCP without 1-ABT injection, including massive necrosis, inflammation, and hepatocyte degeneration. BrdU labeling index tended to increase with exposure levels of 1,2-DCP in the groups without 1-ABT treatment, but this increase was suppressed by administration with 1-ABT.<br><b>Conclusions:</b> 1-ABT could reduce liver damage induced by 1,2-DCP exposure, indicating that P450 plays an important role in the hepatotoxicity of 1,2-DCP. P450-mediated metabolism of 1,2-DCP might contribute to proliferation in bile duct epithelial cells induced by exposure to 1,2-DCP.
