Impairment of human dopaminergic neurons at different developmental stages by perfluoro-octanoic acid (PFOA) and differential human brain areas accumulation of perfluoroalkyl chemicals

Andrea Di Nisio et al.

Summary: This study investigated the bioaccumulation of specific PFASs in different brain areas, with a focus on the brainstem region rich in dopaminergic neurons. Results showed that exposure to PFOA had a significant impact on the most sensitive stage of neural dopaminergic differentiation, affecting the expression of key markers and proteins involved in dopamine maturation and reuptake. The findings suggest the need for further investigations into the potential risk assessment of PFAS chemicals.

The impact of legacy and novel perfluoroalkyl substances on human cytochrome P450: An in vitro study on the inhibitory potential and underlying mechanisms

V. H. Amstutz et al.

Summary: Per- and polyfluomalkyl substances (PFASs) have been associated with hepatotoxicity, and their interaction with cytochrome P450 (CYP) has been proposed as a potential mechanism. This study explored the inhibitory potential of thirteen PFASs on four CYPs, revealing that most PFASs can inhibit CYP activity. The inhibition mechanism varied among different CYP isoenzymes. Some PFASs also induced increased CYP activity. These findings suggest that multiple novel PFASs may interfere with drug metabolism by affecting CYPs.

Single PFAS and PFAS mixtures affect nuclear receptor- and oxidative stress-related pathways in precision-cut liver slices of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)

Karina Dale et al.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of PFAS on cod liver tissue, finding that exposure to PFAS induced effects on cellular processes related to oxidative stress, nuclear receptor pathways, and sterol metabolism. The strongest effects were observed following exposure to PFAS mixtures.

Variabilities in concentrations of selected perfluoroalkyl acids among normotensives and hypertensives across various stages of glomerular function

Ram B. Jain

Summary: The study found that hypertensive patients generally had higher adjusted levels of various perfluoroalkyl acids in stages with lower glomerular function (GF-1 to GF-3A), but lower adjusted geometric means in GF-3B/4 stages compared to normotensive individuals.

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance Toxicity and Human Health Review: Current State of Knowledge and Strategies for Informing Future Research

Suzanne E. Fenton et al.

Summary: Reports on the impacts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the environment and human health have increased substantially in peer-reviewed literature. Epidemiological studies have shown associations between exposure to specific PFAS and various health effects, and further research is needed to understand differences in responses between sexes, species, and life stages. More contemporary approaches such as read-across, molecular dynamics, and protein modeling are proposed to accelerate the development of toxicity information on PFAS, as well as the need for precaution to protect human health given the known effects of certain PFAS compounds.

Global changes to HepG2 cell metabolism in response to galactose treatment

R. A. Skolik et al.

Summary: This study found that substituting glucose with galactose in the cell culture medium can shift ATP production in tumor cells from substrate-level phosphorylation to mitochondrial OXPHOS, leading to a global metabolic reorganization and restoring metabolic balance in the cells.

Cristina Vazquez-Carballo et al.

Summary: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant health issue, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Studies suggest that inflammation plays a crucial role in the development of AKI, and anti-inflammatory agents targeting Toll-like receptors may help reduce kidney damage.

Alteration of neuro-dopamine and steroid hormone homeostasis in wild Bank voles in relation to tissue concentrations of PFAS at a Nordic skiing area

Randi Gronnestad et al.

Summary: PEAS may alter neuro-dopamine and steroid hormone homeostasis in Bank voles from a skiing area in Norway, potentially affecting reproduction and general health. The study found a positive association between brain dopamine concentrations and several PFAS, as well as a negative association between PFAS and dopamine receptor 1 mRNA. Additionally, PFAS were found to affect dopamine metabolism and testosterone concentrations in the voles.

Prevalence and Predictors of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Serum Levels among Members of a Suburban US Volunteer Fire Department

Judith M. Graber et al.

Summary: The study found that volunteer firefighters may have higher levels of PFAS compared to the general population, with substances such as PFDoA, PFNA, and PFDA showing significantly elevated serum levels. The serum levels of PFAS among volunteer firefighters were positively associated with years of firefighting, indicating a clear correlation between the two.
