Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a product of lipid peroxidation (LPO). In combination with CuCl2 MDA induced single strand breaks in PM2 DNA whereas MDA or CuCl2 alone had no effect. Cu(II) oxidized MDA by a radical mechanism under formation of Cu(I). DNA strand break induction was inhibited by catalase (98%), neocuproine (76%) and DMSO (61%). The synergistic damaging effect of MDA and Cu(II) was also demonstrated in human fibroblasts measured by alkaline elution. The combination MDA/CuCl2 caused extensive DNA breakage while neither MDA nor CuCl2 alone induced DNA damage within the cell. Synergistic cytotoxic effects were observed 18 h after a simultaneous treatment of the cells with MDA and CuCl2 for 1 h.

Skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common severe disease with a complex pathological process. This study found that copper chloride (CuCl) inhibited cell viability in a concentration dependent manner, increased intracellular copper levels and downregulated copper transporter 1 (CTR1) expression. CTR1 upregulation promoted copper uptake by myoblasts and then enhanced cuproptosis, leading to a significant increase in the levels of dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase (DLAT) oligomers, while a significant decrease in the levels of lipoylated (Lip)-dihydrolipoamide S-succinyltransferase (DLST) and Lip-DLAT, ultimately inhibiting cell viability and inducing cell injury.

Cardiomyocyte injury is closely related to various myocardial diseases, and S-Allyl-L-cysteine (SAC) has been found to have myocardial protective effects, but its mechanism is currently unclear. Meanwhile, copper also has various physiological functions, and this study found that copper inhibited cell viability in a concentration and time-dependent manner, and was associated with multiple modes of death. Elesclomol plus CuCl (ES + Cu) significantly inhibited cell viability, and this effect could only be blocked by copper chelator TTM, indicating that "ES + Cu" induced cuproptosis in cardiomyocytes.

Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) are extensively used in electronics, cosmetics, fungicides, and various other fields due to their distinctive qualities. However, this widespread usage can contribute to environmental contamination and heightened health risks for living organisms. Despite their prevalent use, the ecological impacts and biosafety of CuNPs remain inadequately understood.

Increased impetus on the application of nano-fertilizers to improve sustainable food production warrants understanding of nanophytotoxicity and its underlying mechanisms before its application could be fully realized. In this study, we evaluated the potential particle size-dependent effects of soil-applied copper oxide nanoparticles (nCuO) on crop yield and quality attributes (photosynthetic pigments, seed yield and nutrient quality, seed protein, and seed oil), including root and seed Cu bioaccumulation and a suite of oxidative stress biomarkers, in soybean (Glycine max L.) grown in field environment.

The contribution of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and methylglyoxal (MG) formation and removal in high-pH-mediated alleviation of plant copper (Cu)-toxicity remains to be elucidated. Seedlings of sweet orange () were treated with 0.5 (non-Cu-toxicity) or 300 (Cu-toxicity) μM CuCl × pH 4.
