Decabromodiphenyl Ethane Mainly Affected the Muscle Contraction and Reproductive Endocrine System in Female Adult Zebrafish

Yumiao Sun et al.

Summary: The novel brominated flame retardant decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) tends to accumulate in the brain of female zebrafish, leading to neurotoxicity and reproductive disruptions. Proteomic analysis showed effects on muscle contraction and estrogen response-related proteins. These findings provide important clues for further research on DBDPE mechanism and risk assessment.

Fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) hypermethylation induced by decabromodiphenyl ethane causing cardiac dysfunction via glucolipid metabolism disorder

Leqiang Gao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of DBDPE on the cardiovascular system in male SD rats and explored the underlying mechanisms using AC16 cells. The results showed that DBDPE induced cardiomyocyte injury, fibrosis, and mitochondrial damage. DBDPE also altered the levels of key proteins and affected lipid metabolism. In AC16 cells, DBDPE activated multiple signaling pathways and induced apoptosis through the mitochondrial-mediated apoptotic pathway. The study also revealed the involvement of hypermethylation of the fat mass and obesity-associated gene in DBDPE-induced glycolipid metabolism disorder and myocardial dysfunction.

Persistent organic pollutants at the synapse: Shared phenotypes and converging mechanisms of developmental neurotoxicity

Sarah E. Latchney et al.

Summary: The developing nervous system is sensitive to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) exposure, which may increase the risk for neurodevelopmental disorders in children. Research focuses on the cellular processes of synapse formation and plasticity during sensitive periods of rapid brain development, which may be affected by developmental neurotoxicants. Developmental POP exposure has long-lasting effects on dendritic morphology, spine formation, synaptic transmission, among other cellular processes.

Cholinergic Signaling, Neural Excitability, and Epilepsy

Yu Wang et al.

Summary: This review describes the role of cholinergic signaling in epilepsy, including the distribution of cholinergic neurons, muscarinic, and nicotinic receptors in the central nervous system and their relationship with neural excitability. The findings from experimental and clinical research on the role of cholinergic signaling in epilepsy are summarized, along with perspectives on future investigation to reveal the precise role of the cholinergic system in epilepsy.

Spatio-temporal variations and input patterns on the legacy and novel brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in coastal rivers of North China

Lin Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that Decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE209) is still the predominant compound, with significantly higher concentrations in the dry season compared to the wet season; while Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) shows no significant seasonal difference. The concentrations of BFRs were lower in urban rivers, but have increased in rural rivers since 2013.

Occurrence, bioaccumulation, fate, and risk assessment of novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) in aquatic environments - A critical review

Rui Hou et al.

Summary: Novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) are emerging as alternative flame retardants to legacy compounds, with concerns raised over their presence, bioaccumulation, fate, and risks in aquatic environments. NBFRs show source-dependent distribution, high bioaccumulative properties, resistance to degradation processes, and sorption to sludge and sediments in aquatic environments. Ecological risk assessments have suggested potential risks of NBFRs primarily in source areas. Further research is needed to address knowledge gaps in monitoring, toxicokinetics, transformation processes, and ecological risk assessments of NBFRs in aquatic environments.
