The involvement of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in aromatic trihalogenated DBP exposure-induced kidney damage in mice.

Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are inevitably generated in the process of disinfection. Among them, aromatic halogenated DBPs, such as 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP), 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) and 2,4,6-triiodophenol (TIP), have attracted considerable interest for their high toxicity. A systematic nephrotoxicity evaluation of 2,4,6-trihalophenols is still lacking.

In vivo toxicity evaluations of halophenolic disinfection byproducts in drinking water: A multi-omics analysis of toxic mechanisms.

Halophenolic disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water have attracted considerable concerns in recent years due to their wide occurrence and high toxicity. The liver has been demonstrated as a major target organ for several halophenolic DBPs. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms of liver damage caused by halophenolic DBPs.

Oral Exposure to 1,4-Dioxane Induces Hepatic Inflammation in Mice: The Potential Promoting Effect of the Gut Microbiome.

1,4-Dioxane is a widely used industrial solvent that has been frequently detected in aquatic environments. However, the hepatotoxicity of long-term dioxane exposure at environmentally relevant concentrations and underlying mechanisms of liver damage remain unclear. In this study, male mice were exposed to dioxane at concentrations of 0.

A comparative evaluation of the immunotoxicity and immunomodulatory effects on macrophages exposed to aromatic trihalogenated DBPs.

2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP), 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP), and 2,4,6-triiodophenol (TIP) are three aromatic halogenated disinfection byproducts (DBPs) identified in chlorinated saline effluents. This study aimed to evaluate and compare their immunotoxicity and immunomodulatory effects on macrophages. CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate cytotoxicity of TCP, TBP, and TIP in mouse macrophage RAW264.

1,4-Dioxane exposure induces kidney damage in mice by perturbing specific renal metabolic pathways: An integrated omics insight into the underlying mechanisms.

1,4-Dioxane (dioxane), an industrial solvent widely detected in environmental and biological matrices, has potential nephrotoxicity. However, the underlying mechanism by which dioxane induces kidney damage remains unclear. In this study, we used an integrated approach, combining kidney transcriptomics and urine metabolomics, to explore the mechanism for the toxic effects of dioxane on the mouse kidney.
