Perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid induce immunotoxicity through the NF-ΚB pathway in black-spotted frog (Rana nigromaculata)

Zhiquan Liu et al.

Summary: This study found that exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of PFOA and PFOS had negative impacts on the immune system of black-spotted frogs. PFOS had a stronger effect on immune indicators compared to PFOA, and both chemicals activated the NF-Kappa B pathway, leading to immunotoxicity.

Sampling of freely dissolved per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in surface water and groundwater using a newly developed passive sampler

Eliza M. Kaltenberg et al.

Summary: Passive sampling methods, such as the newly developed PFAS INSIGHT sampler, offer advantages in obtaining time-integrated results and separating contaminant fractions for a better understanding of associated risks. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the PFAS INSIGHT sampler in sampling ionic and non-ionic PFAS from water, with detection limits comparable to conventional water sample analysis. Laboratory characterization and field deployments show good agreement between passive sampler data and direct water sample measurements for PFAS concentrations.

Emerging trends in nanoparticle toxicity and the significance of using Daphnia as a model organism

Zhiquan Liu et al.

Summary: Nanoparticle production is increasing rapidly due to its wide applications, but concerns over their environmental impact arise from their inevitable release into the environment. The microcrustacean Daphnia spp. has emerged as an important freshwater model organism for nanotoxicity studies due to its biological properties and high sensitivity to environmental contaminants and stressors.

An Outdoor Aging Study to Investigate the Release of Per- And Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) from Functional Textiles

Steffen Schellenberger et al.

Summary: The emission of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from functional textiles was investigated through an outdoor weathering experiment. It was found that the textiles released low molecular weight PFAS substances after continuous exposure to natural stressors, and the color and water repellency of the textiles were also affected.

Low Levels of Perfluorooctanoic Acid Exposure Activates SteroidHormone Biosynthesis through Repressing Histone Methylation in Rats

Xuejingping Han et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of low-dose PFOA exposure on testicular steroidogenesis in rats and revealed the role of histone modifications. The results showed that PFOA exposure increased the levels of certain steroid hormones and up-regulated the expression of the key gene Star, while down-regulating other steroidogenic genes. Additionally, PFOA exposure significantly reduced multiple histone modifications, suggesting an epigenetic mechanism for PFOA's disruption of male reproductive endocrine.

PFOS-induced thyroid hormone system disrupted rats display organ-specific changes in their transcriptomes

Nichlas Davidsen et al.

Summary: Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) is a persistent chemical that can disrupt the thyroid hormone system in humans and animals through various mechanisms. In this study, exposure to PFOS resulted in a decrease in thyroid hormone levels and altered gene expression in the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, and liver. The gut microbiota did not significantly affect the effects of PFOS exposure. These findings suggest that PFOS exposure may affect TH metabolism and transport, but the pituitary or thyroid gland may not be directly involved.

Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals the Hepatotoxicity of Perfluorooctanoic Acid in Black-Spotted Frogs (Rana nigromaculata)

Huikang Lin et al.

Summary: This study reveals the hepatotoxic mechanism of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in black-spotted frogs, which is mainly characterized by dysregulation of lipid metabolism, disruption of the endocrine system, and immunotoxicity.

Assessing the hepatotoxicity of PFOA, PFOS, and 6:2 Cl-PFESA in black-spotted frogs (Rana nigromaculata) and elucidating potential association with gut microbiota

Huikang Lin et al.

Summary: This study revealed the hepatotoxicity of PFASs in black-spotted frogs and its association with gut microbiota dysbiosis. The results showed that PFOS and 6:2 Cl-PFESA were more toxic than PFOA, and PFAS-induced hepatotoxicity was related to the disturbance of gut microbiota.

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) Impair Lipid Metabolism in Rana nigromaculata: A Field Investigation and Laboratory Study

Huikang Lin et al.

Summary: The effects of PFASs on lipid metabolism in black-spotted frogs were investigated through a field and laboratory study. Results showed that PFASs accumulate in frog tissues in a fluorochemical industrial area. Exposing frogs to PFASs in the laboratory led to changes in hepatic fatty acid composition and increased hepatic TG content. PFASs also induced cross-talk accumulation of lipids between the liver and serum, and affected gene expression related to lipogenesis and lipolysis.

Polystyrene nanoplastic induces oxidative stress, immune defense, and glycometabolism change in Daphnia pulex: Application of transcriptome profiling in risk assessment of nanoplastics

Zhiquan Liu et al.

Summary: This study used global transcriptome sequencing to investigate the impact of nanoplastic exposure on gene expression levels in Daphnia neonates, revealing key genes associated with oxidative stress, immune defense, and glycometabolism. Daphnia provides some molecular insights into nanoplastic toxicity, but further research on differentially expressed genes is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms.
