Insights into hepatotoxicity of fluorinated liquid crystal monomer 1-ethoxy-2,3-difluoro-4-(trans-4-propylcyclohexyl) benzene (EDPrB) in adult zebrafish at environmentally relevant concentrations: Metabolic disorder and stress response.

Fluorinated liquid crystal monomers (FLCMs) are widely employed in liquid crystal display (LCD) panels. As emerging environmental contaminants with persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic properties, FLCMs were proven to accumulate in liver, raising great concern regarding potential hepatotoxicity. 1-Ethoxy-2,3-difluoro-4-(trans-4-propylcyclohexyl) benzene (EDPrB), as one representative FLCM, was chosen to investigate the hepatotoxicity in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) at environmentally relevant concentrations (1, 10, and 100 μg/L) with long-term exposure (21 days).

Integration of transcriptomic and proteomic reveals the toxicological molecular mechanisms of decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) on Pleurotus ostreatus.

Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE), as one of the most widely used new brominated flame retardants (NBFRs), can pose a potential threat to human health and the environment. An integrated transcriptome and proteome was performed for investigating the toxicological molecular mechanisms of Pleurotus ostreatus (P. ostreatus) during the biodegradation of DBDPE at the concentrations of 5 and 20 mg/L.

Toxicity evaluation of decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) to Pleurotus ostreatus: Oxidative stress, morphology and transcriptomics.

Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE), one widely used new brominated flame retardant, was of great concern due to its biotoxicity. The toxic evaluation of DBDPE (1-50 mg/L) to white-rot fungus (Pleurotus ostreatus), including oxidative stress, morphology and transcriptomics was conducted aiming at improving its biodegradation. Fungal growth and ATPase activity were obviously inhibited by DBDPE at ≥ 10 mg/L with the exposure from 48 h to 96 h.

Biodegradation of decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) by white-rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus: Characteristics, mechanisms, and toxicological response.

Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) can pose a potential toxic threat to human beings and the environment. P. ostreatus, as one of the typical white-rot fungi, can effectively degrade various refractory pollutants.
