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.

Exposure to 6-PPD Quinone at Environmentally Relevant Concentrations Causes Abnormal Locomotion Behaviors and Neurodegeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans

Xin Hua et al.

Summary: The potential neurotoxicity of 6-PPDQ after long-term exposure and the underlying mechanism are unclear. In this study, abnormal locomotion behaviors and neurodegeneration of motor neurons were observed in nematodes exposed to 6-PPDQ. The activation of the DEG-3-mediated signaling cascade and the involvement of genes like jnk-1, dbl-1, daf-7, and glb-10 were also identified.

Activation of FGF signal in germline mediates transgenerational toxicity of polystyrene nanoparticles at predicted environmental concentrations in Caenorhabditis elegans

Xin Hua et al.

Summary: Nanoplastics in the environment can pose ecological and health risks. This study focused on the transgenerational toxicity of polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NP) and the role of germline fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signal in mediating this toxicity. The exposure to PS-NP induced an increase in expression of germline FGF ligand/EGL-17 and LRP-1, and RNAi interference of these genes resulted in resistance to transgenerational PS-NP toxicity. In addition, overexpression of EGL-17 increased the expression of FGF receptor/EGL-15 in the offspring, and RNAi interference of egl-15 inhibited transgenerational toxicity in animals overexpressing germline EGL-17. The results highlight the important role of germline FGF signal activation in mediating transgenerational toxicity induced by nanoplastics.

Oral exposure to tire rubber-derived contaminant 6PPD and 6PPD-quinone induce hepatotoxicity in mice

Liya Fang et al.

Summary: In this study, the toxic effects of 6PPD and 6PPDQ exposure on the liver of mice were evaluated. It was found that 6PPD and 6PPDQ bioaccumulate in the liver and induce hepatotoxicity. Transcriptomic analysis revealed altered hepatic metabolism and immune response. These findings contribute to our understanding of the health risks of 6PPD and 6PPDQ to mammals and may inform safety regulations for the use and disposal of rubber products.

Sulfonate-Modified Polystyrene Nanoparticle at Precited Environmental Concentrations Induces Transgenerational Toxicity Associated with Increase in Germline Notch Signal of Caenorhabditis elegans

Wenmiao He et al.

Summary: Recently, the transgenerational toxicity of nanoplastics, particularly sulfonate-modified polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-S NP), has gained attention. Using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model, researchers investigated the transgenerational effects of PS-S NP on locomotion behavior and reproductive capacity. They found that exposure to PS-S NP caused transgenerational inhibition in these traits and that the underlying mechanisms involved the activation of germline Notch signal mediated by LAG-2 and GLP-1 in the nematodes.

Occurrence and risks of 23 tire additives and their transformation products in an urban water system

Hai-Yan Zhang et al.

Summary: The presence of tire additives and their transformation products in the urban water system of the Pearl River Delta region in South China was investigated. Nineteen target compounds were detected in surface runoff, with 1,3-Diphenylguanidine (DPG) showing the highest concentration. Benzothiazole and its transformation products were detected at a frequency of 100%, and the antioxidant derivative N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N '-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-quinone (6PPD-Q) was also found. WWTPs influents and effluents showed the presence of eleven and eight compounds respectively. The study highlights the ecological risks of certain compounds in surface waters and estimates the human daily intake of tire additives.

Exposure to 6-PPD quinone enhances lipid accumulation through activating metabolic sensors of SBP-1 and MDT-15 in Caenorhabditis elegans*

Yuxing Wang et al.

Summary: Exposure to 6-PPDQ leads to lipid accumulation and inhibition of fatty acid β-oxidation in Caenorhabditis elegans. This lipid accumulation is associated with increased fatty acid synthesis and increased synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acylCoAs. Additionally, metabolic sensors sbp-1 and mdt-15 are upregulated in response to 6-PPDQ exposure.

Summary: Recently, the possible reproductive toxicity of 6-PPDQ, a derivative of tire antioxidant 6-PPD, was investigated in Caenorhabditis elegans. Exposure to 1 and 10 µg/L 6-PPDQ reduced reproductive capacity and enhanced germline apoptosis. These effects were associated with DNA damage, altered gene expressions, and changes in the cell corpse engulfment process.

Toxicological effects of 6PPD and 6PPD quinone in zebrafish larvae

Shubham Varshney et al.

Summary: The study found that 6PPD quinone is toxic to zebrafish larvae, but no significant mortality was observed at the tested concentrations, resulting in a dose-dependent reduction in swimming performance. Exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations (1 µg/L) of 6PPD and 6PPD quinone did not affect the behavior of zebrafish embryos, while exposure to higher but sublethal concentrations (10 and 25 µg/L) can impact behavioral endpoints.

Summary: Stormwater exposure can lead to acute mortality of coho salmon, with 6PPD-quinone identified as the primary toxicant. Analysis of commercial standards of 6PPDQ revealed a high bias in prior reporting. This study re-confirmed toxicity estimates using a commercial standard and developed a quantification method. The results showed higher responses with the commercial standard and a significantly lower LC50 value compared to previous reports, highlighting the substantial lethality of 6PPD-Q.

New Evidence of Rubber-Derived Quinones in Water, Air, and Soil

Guodong Cao et al.

Summary: The study found that rubber-derived quinones are widely present in urban environments and are closely related to human activities. One of the identified quinones was found to be highly toxic to coho salmon. Mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry were used to investigate the distribution and concentration of these compounds. The results showed that the quinones had distinct distribution and concentration patterns in different environments. The estimated daily intake of these compounds by the population in Hong Kong exceeded the exposure levels of their parent compounds. Therefore, further toxicological studies are recommended to explore the potential ecological and human health risks of these newly discovered quinones.

Summary: This study conducted the first human biomonitoring of N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenedi-amine (6PPD) and its quinone derivative, 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), in South China. The results showed that both 6PPD and 6PPD-Q were prevalent in urine samples, with higher concentrations in pregnant women. Considering the lethal toxicity of 6PPD-Q to aquatic species, the potential human health risks of long-term exposure to these compounds should be urgently addressed.
