Co-exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics and F-53B induces vascular endothelial cell pyroptosis through the NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway.

6:2 Chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (6:2 Cl-PFESA; trade name F-53B) is an alternative to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and is widely detected in various environmental media and biological samples. Polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) have become a significant pollutant in the global environment. However, the comprehensive effects of both on the vascular system of mammals are still unclear.

Role of hepatocyte-specific FOXO1 in hepatic glucolipid metabolic disorders induced by perfluorooctane sulfonate.

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a prevalent perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), is widely present in various environmental media, animals, and even human bodies. It primarily accumulates in the liver, contributing to the disruption of hepatic metabolic homeostasis. However, the precise mechanism underlying PFOS-induced hepatic glucolipid metabolic disorders remains elusive.

8:2 Chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonate (8:2 Cl-PFESA) is a substitute for perfluorooctane sulfonate and an emerging environmental pollutant, yet its bioaccumulation and health risks are poorly understood. We established a subchronic exposure model in mice (0.04, 0.

Role of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the cardiorenal system: Unraveling crosstalk from the network of pollutants and phenotypes.

Although per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been frequently linked to cardiovascular and renal disease separately, evidence remains scarce regarding their systematic effect. Therefore, we recruited 546 newly diagnosed acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients and detected seven myocardial enzymes and six kidney function biomarkers. Twelve PFAS were also assessed with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Legacy and alternative per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances spatiotemporal distribution in China: Human exposure, environmental media, and risk assessment.

In recent decades, China's rapid development has led to significant environmental pollution from the widespread use of chemical products. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are among the most concerning pollutants due to their persistence and bioaccumulation. This article assesses PFAS exposure levels, distribution, and health risks in Chinese blood, environment, and food.

SAP130 mediates crosstalk between hepatocyte ferroptosis and M1 macrophage polarization in PFOS-induced hepatotoxicity.

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent organic pollutant widely utilized in industrial manufacturing and daily life, leading to significant environmental accumulation and various public health issues. This study aims to characterize spliceosome-associated protein 130 (SAP130) as a key mediator of crosstalk between hepatocytes and macrophages, elucidating its role in PFOS-induced liver inflammation. The data demonstrate that PFOS exposure induces ferroptosis in mouse liver and AML12 cells.

Associations between co-exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and organophosphate esters and erythrogram in Chinese adults.

Erythrogram, despite its prevalent use in assessing red blood cell (RBC) disorders and can be utilized to evaluate various diseases, still lacks evidence supporting the effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and organophosphate esters (OPEs) on it. A cross-sectional study involving 467 adults from Shijiazhuang, China was conducted to assess the associations between 12 PFASs and 11 OPEs and the erythrogram (8 indicators related to RBC). Three models, including multiple linear regression (MLR), sparse partial least squares regression, and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) were employed to evaluate both the individual and joint effects of PFASs and OPEs on the erythrogram.

Angiotoxic effects of chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate, a novel perfluorooctane sulfonate substitute, in vivo and in vitro.

Chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (Cl-PFESA), a substitute for perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), has been widely used in the Chinese electroplating industry under the trade name F-53B. The production and use of F-53B is keep increasing in recent years, consequently causing more emissions into the environment. Thus, there is a growing concern about the adverse effects of F-53B on human health.

Association of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances with hepatic steatosis and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease among patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Etiology of hepatic steatosis and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains unclear. Existing studies suggested the potential role of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in comorbidity of hepatic steatosis among ACS patients. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional study based on the ACS inpatients to assess the associations of plasma PFAS congeners and mixtures with hepatic steatosis and MAFLD.

Association between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and risk of hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Existing evidence indicates that exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) may increase the risk of hypertension, but the findings are inconsistent. Therefore, we aimed to explore the relationship between PFASs and hypertension through this systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Web of Science databases for articles published in English that examined the relationship between PFASs and hypertension before 13 August 2022.

Hippocampal Proteomics Reveals the Role of Glutamatergic Synapse Activation in the Depression Induced by Perfluorooctane Sulfonate.

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a new type of persistent organic pollutant in the environment of water, has drawn significant attention in recent years due to its widespread prevalence and high toxicity. Neurotoxicity is regarded as one of the major toxic effects of PFOS, while research studies on PFOS-induced depression and the underlying mechanisms remain scarce. In this study, behavioral tests revealed the depressive-like behaviors in PFOS-exposed male mice.

Photoelectrocatalytic selective removal of group-targeting thiol-containing heterocyclic pollutants.

The removal of a class of toxic thiol-containing heterocyclic pollutants from complex water matrices has great environmental significance. In this study, a novel photoanode (Au/MIL100(Fe)/TiO) with dual recognition functions was designed for selective group-targeting photoelectrocatalytic removal of thiol-containing heterocyclic pollutants from various aquatic systems. The average degradation and adsorption removal efficiency of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole were still above 96.

Association of exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances and risk of the acute coronary syndrome: A case-control study in Shijiazhuang Hebei Province.
