Long-term exposure to tire-derived 6-PPD quinone causes intestinal toxicity by affecting functional state of intestinal barrier in Caenorhabditis elegans

Xin Hua et al.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the toxic effect of prolonged exposure to 2-((4-Methylpentan-2-yl)amino)-5-(phenylamino)cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (6-PPDQ) on Caenorhabditis elegans. Results showed that exposure to 100 mu g/L of 6-PPDQ caused lethality, while concentrations of 1-10 mu g/L affected intestinal barrier function, oxidative stress, and antioxidant response. Therefore, long-term exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of 6-PPDQ may result in intestinal toxicity.

DNA methylation 6 mA and histone methylation involved in multi-/trans-generational reproductive effects in Caenorhabditis elegans induced by Atrazine

Jiechen Yin et al.

Summary: This study investigated the multi/trans-generational reproductive toxicity of the widely used herbicide Atrazine (ATR) using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. The results showed that ATR exposure during the parental generation led to decreased fecundity and delayed gonadal development, and continuous exposure caused increased reproductive toxicity in subsequent generations. The study also found that reproductive toxicity, but not developmental toxicity, can be passed on to multiple generations, with the second generation showing the most notable changes. Gene expression analysis and mutant experiments revealed the involvement of DNA methylation and histone H3 methylation in the transgenerational effects of ATR.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes induce transgenerational toxicity associated with activation of germline long non-coding RNA linc-7 in C. elegans

Yingyue Zhao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the transgenerational toxicity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and the role of germline long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Caenorhabditis elegans. The results showed that exposure to MWCNTs caused transgenerational toxicity in terms of decreased brood size and impaired locomotion behavior. Among germline lncRNAs, expression of 5 lncRNAs was dysregulated by MWCNT exposure. Further analysis revealed that only germline RNAi of linc-7 affected MWCNT toxicity. Germline linc-7 expression was increased transgenerationally, and transgenerational MWCNT toxicity was prevented in linc-7 (RNAi) nematodes. Additionally, germline linc-7 controlled transgenerational MWCNT toxicity by activating downstream transcription factor DAF-12.

Nanoplastic Exposure at Predicted Environmental Concentrations Induces Activation of Germline Ephrin Signal Associated with Toxicity Formation in the Caenorhabditis elegans Offspring

Yue Zhao et al.

Summary: In this study, researchers identified the Ephrin ligand EFN-3 as a target of the kinase suppressors of Ras (KSR-1/2) in the germline of Caenorhabditis elegans. They found that exposure to polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) at predicted environmental concentrations induced an increase in EFN-3 expression in the germline of parental generations and this increase was also observed in the offspring. The activation of EFN-3 in the germline mediated transgenerational PS-NP toxicity, and the activation of its receptor VAB-1 in the offspring further contributed to the toxicity. The researchers concluded that germline Ephrin signals play an important role in mediating transgenerational toxicity of nanoplastics.

Alteration in Wnt signaling mediates induction of transgenerational toxicity of polystyrene nanoplastics in C. elegans

Ruoran Xu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the role and mechanism of germline Wnt signaling in regulating transgenerational toxicity of polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) using Caenorhabditis elegans as an animal model. The results show that exposure to PS-NPs increases the expression of Wnt ligand LIN-44 and decreases the expression of Wnt receptor MIG-1. Inhibition of LIN-44 suppresses transgenerational PS-NP toxicity, while inhibition of MIG-1 enhances it. The DSH-1/2-APR-1-BAR-1 signaling cascade acts downstream of MIG-1 to control transgenerational PS-NP toxicity. BAR-1 activates mitochondrial unfolded protein response (mt UPR) to counteract transgenerational PS-NP toxicity.

The inhibition of mt UPR enhanced the toxicity of PS-NP over generations, while increasing mt UPR inhibited the toxicity.
