There is evidence in human populations that exposure to manganese (Mn), or Mn in combination with excessive noise exposure, results in hearing loss. Quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction revealed expression of the metal transporters DMT1, ZIP8, and ZIP14 in control mouse ears. ZIP8 is known to have a high affinity (K-m = 2.2 mu M) for Mn transport, and ZIP8 protein was localized to the blood vessels of the ear by immunohistochemistry. We treated mice (strains C57BL/6J and DBA/2J) with Mn (100 mg/kg MnCl2, by subcutaneous injection, on three alternating days), and Mn was significantly elevated in the ears of the treated mice. Mn concentrations remained elevated over controls for at least 2 weeks after treatment. These studies demonstrate that metal transporters are present in the mouse ear and that Mn can accumulate in the ear following systemic exposure. Future studies should focus on whether Mn exposure is associated with hearing deficits. (C) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Exposure to low dose of Bisphenol A (BPA) intensifies kidney oxidative stress, inflammatory factors expression and modulates Angiotensin II signaling under hypertensive milieu

Manigandan Nagarajan, Gobichettipalayam Balasubramaniam Maadurshni, Jeganathan Manivannan

Summary: This study found that exposure to BPA exacerbates hypertension-induced pathological changes, including renal fibrosis, oxidative stress, elevated angiotensin-converting enzyme activity, dysfunction of antioxidant and tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes, tissue lipid abnormalities, and expression of inflammatory factors. In addition, high levels of BPA have dose-dependent effects on kidney cells, including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and lipid peroxidation. Therefore, a precise investigation of BPA exposure in hypertensive populations is highly recommended during risk assessment.

CircDLGAP4 overexpression ameliorates neuronal injury in Parkinson's disease by binding to EIF4A3 and increasing HMGA2 expression

Haiping Bao, Qiang Zhang, Yu Li, Chen Nie

Summary: In this study, the role of circDLGAP4 in Parkinson's disease (PD) was investigated. The results showed that circDLGAP4 upregulated HMGA2 by recruiting EIF4A3, thus alleviating neuronal injury in PD.

Uric acid promotes interleukin-17 expression to cause kidney injury

Lina Yang, Tianwei He, Yanming Yu

Summary: This study found that uric acid induces kidney injury by inducing IL-17 expression, and treatment with anti-IL-17 antibody can alleviate uric acid-induced kidney injury.

Bioactivity of selenium-containing pyridinium salts: Prospecting future pharmaceutical constituents to treat liver diseases involving oxidative stress

Ediandra T. Castro, Amalia G. Alves, Daniela de Bittencourt Maia, Larissa S. Magalhaes, Mariana P. Paim, Filipe Penteado, Caroline S. Gomes, Eder J. Lenardao, Cesar A. Bruning, Cristiani F. Bortolatto

Summary: This study investigated the antioxidant activity and toxicity of selenium-containing compounds in liver tissue. The results showed that these compounds have potential antioxidant effects, which can be attributed to their ability to scavenge free radicals and mimic enzyme activity. Additionally, one of the compounds exhibited low toxicity.
