MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of endogenous small RNAs with lengths of approximately 19-24 nucleotides, play important regulatory roles in cells. In recent years, miR-363 has emerged as a prominent member of the miR-92a family, participating in various biological functions, including cellular proliferation, cycle, migration, and apoptosis. In particular, miR-363 plays a critical role in acute kidney injury, renal fibrosis, and diabetic nephropathy and can serve as a biomarker for the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma.

1,2-Dichloroethane (1,2-DCE), a prevalent industrial and environmental contaminant, induces toxic encephalopathy through inhalation, leading to neurotoxic effects and inflammation-driven brain edema. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUCMSCs) secrete bioactive factors, including miRNAs, proteins, and lipids via exosomes, exhibiting anti-inflammatory and immune-regulatory properties. However, their potential in treating 1,2-DCE-induced neuroinflammation and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • 1,2-Dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) can harm mouse testicles when they are exposed to it, leading to cell damage and a type of cell death called pyroptosis.
  • Melatonin, a hormone made in the brain, helps protect against this harm and can reduce the negative effects of 1,2-DCE.
  • The study found that certain tiny RNA molecules (piRNAs) are involved in this harm and that blocking them can help make cells healthier again when 1,2-DCE is present.

1,2-Dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) is a pervasive environmental pollutant found in ambient and residential air, as well as ground and drinking water. Brain edema is the primary pathological consequence of 1,2-DCE overexposure. We found that microRNA (miRNA)-29b dysregulation after 1,2-DCE exposure can aggravate brain edema by suppressing aquaporin 4 (AQP4).

Article Synopsis
  • Occupational chronic cadmium poisoning (OCCP) leads to serious and irreversible organ damage, and currently, there are no effective treatments or reliable biomarkers to assess recovery.* -
  • A study analyzed urine samples from OCCP patients and healthy controls using advanced mass spectrometry techniques, revealing 66 metabolites with significant differences between the two groups.* -
  • Among the findings, elevated urinary creatine levels showed promise as a sensitive biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring OCCP, outperforming other metabolites like glutamic acid and quinolinic acid.*

1,2-Dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) is a pervasive environmental pollutant, and overexposure to this hazardous material causes brain edema and demyelination in humans. We found that 1,2-DCE inhibits aquaporin 4 (AQP4) and is a primary pathogenic effector of 1,2-DCE-induced brain edema in animals. However, AQP4 down-regulation's link with cortex demyelination after 1,2-DCE exposure remains unclear.

Overexposure to 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) can induce brain edema, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) is the most prevalent water channel in the brain, and the pool of AQP4 facilitates brain edema by controlling the inflow and clearance of brain water. MicroRNAs play an important role in the regulation of brain edema via RNA silencing and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression.

Serum plasminogen as a potential biomarker for the effects of low-dose benzene exposure.

Toxicology

Exposure to low-dose benzene may lead to hematotoxicity and cause health problems. Though peripheral blood cell count is widely used in benzene exposure assessment and health risk assessment, the reports regarding the effects of low-dose benzene exposure on blood cell count remain inconsistent. To uncover more sensitive biomarkers for low-dose benzene exposure, our previous study screened out three potential serum proteins-plasminogen (PLG), platelet basic protein (PBP) and apolipoprotein B100 (ApoB100)-as biomarkers from chronic benzene poisoning patients by using proteomic analysis.
