Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in water and wastewater: A critical review of their global occurrence and distribution

Sudarshan Kurwadkar et al.

Summary: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), as anthropogenic organic pollutants, are widely distributed in the aquatic environment and have adverse effects on human health and ecology. This review critically evaluates the global occurrence and distribution of PFAS in water and discusses the evolving regulatory responses to mitigate the risks associated with PFAS. The study highlights the need for international cooperation in managing PFAS contamination.

Gestational Perfluoroalkyl Substance Exposure and DNA Methylation at Birth and 12 Years of Age: A Longitudinal Epigenome-Wide Association Study

Yun Liu et al.

Summary: In this study, we examined the associations between gestational PFAS exposure and DNA methylation levels at birth and in adolescence using longitudinal data. The results showed that gestational PFAS exposure was associated with differences in several CpG sites at birth and at 12 years of age, which were linked to genes associated with PFAS-related health outcomes.

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.

The occurrence of PFAS in human placenta and their binding abilities to human serum albumin and organic anion transporter 4

Yao Lu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the occurrence of both legacy and emerging PFAS in human placenta, revealing different concentrations and detection frequencies of various PFAS. Molecular docking calculations showed that the binding affinities of PFAS with proteins are correlated with chain length, indicating a close relationship between placental transfer of PFAS and chain length.

Sonia L. Robinson et al.

Summary: The study found an association between high concentrations of PFOA/PFOS and DNA methylation in newborn dried blood spots, with evidence of sex-specific effects. However, these results need to be replicated in populations with a higher median concentration of PFOA/PFOS.

Donghua Xie et al.

Summary: Pre-pregnancy underweight is relatively common in Hunan Province, China. Pre-pregnancy underweight to some extent is associated with better maternal outcomes, but it has certain adverse effects on neonatal outcomes. Pre-pregnancy overweight, especially obesity, has a substantial adverse effect on pregnancy and perinatal outcomes.

Epigenetic changes by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)

Sujin Kim et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) can cause epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation, histone modification, and microRNA expression. Different types of research have revealed the potential harm of PFAS to human health, and further studies are needed to understand the specific effects of PFAS.

Correlation of LINE-1 Hypomethylation With Size and Pathologic Extent of Dysplasia in Colorectal Tubular Adenomas

Alice C. Jiang et al.

Summary: High-grade dysplasia and increasing size of TA or tubulovillous adenoma were associated with lower LINE-1 methylation levels, supporting a hypothesis that LINE-1 hypomethylation in TAs indicates progression along the CRC tumorigenesis pathway. Lower LINE-1 methylation and greater variance of global DNA methylation were observed in TAs compared to SSLs. LINE-1 methylation in adenomas correlates with polyp size and degree of dysplasia, warranting further study as a predictor of metachronous colorectal cancer risk.

Summary: The study revealed that LINE-1 methylation levels decreased with increasing size of tubular adenomas (TAs), and TAs with low-grade dysplasia (LGD) had lower LINE-1 methylation levels compared to sessile serrated lesions (SSLs). Moreover, TAs containing high-grade dysplasia (HGD) showed lower LINE-1 methylation levels than TAs with LGD.
