Didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) is a representative dialkyl-quaternary ammonium compound that is used as a disinfectant against several pathogens and is also used in commercial, industrial, and residential settings. We previously investigated toxicity on air way system following single instillation of DDAC to the lungs in mice, and found that DDAC causes pulmonary injury, which is associated with altered antioxidant antimicrobial responses; the inflammatory phase is accompanied or followed by fibrotic response. The present study was conducted to monitor transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling in pulmonary fibrosis induced by DDAC. Mice were intratracheally instilled with DDAC and sacrificed 1, 3, or 7 days after treatment to measure TGF-beta signaling. In order to further evaluate TGF-beta signaling, we treated isolated mouse lung fibroblasts with DDAC. Fibrotic foci were observed in the lungs on day 3, and were widely extended on day 7, with evidence of increased a-smooth muscle actin-positive mesenchymal cells and upregulation of Type I procollagen mRNA. Developing fibrotic foci were likely associated with increased expression of Tgf-beta 1 mRNA, in addition to decreased expression of Bone morphogenetic protein-7 mRNA. In fibrotic lung samples, the expression of phosphorylated SMAD2/3 was considerably higher than that of phosphorylated SMAD1/5. In isolated lung fibroblasts, the mRNA levels of Tgf-beta 1 were specifically increased by DDAC treatment, which prolonged phosphorylation of SMAD2/3. These effects were abolished by treatment with SD208 - a TGF-beta RI kinase inhibitor. The results suggest that DDAC induces pulmonary fibrosis in association with TGF-beta signaling.

Summary: The neurotoxic patterns of VPA differ between developmental and postpubertal exposure, with developmental exposure affecting genes related to nervous system development and postpubertal exposure impacting genes related to neuronal differentiation and projection. The hippocampal dentate gyrus may be a sensitive target of developmental neurotoxicants after puberty.

Summary: In this study, the effect of LPS-induced maternal immune activation on hippocampal neurogenesis and behaviors in rat offspring was investigated. The results showed that LPS injections disrupted normal neurodevelopment, resulting in behavioral deficits in adulthood. AGIQ was found to have antioxidant effects and ameliorated most aberrations in hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity as well as behavioral deficits.

Summary: The study found that developmental exposure to lead (Pb) during the young-adult stage suppresses hippocampal neurogenesis and leads to the accumulation of lead in the brain. The study also found that lead exposure induces oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, and activates specific cellular signals. Additionally, lead exposure increases the number of certain cell types, improving neurogenesis.

Trastuzumab-based near-infrared photoimmunotherapy in xenograft mouse of breast cancer

Susumu Yamashita, Miho Kojima, Nobuhiko Onda, Toshinori Yoshida, Makoto Shibutani

Summary: Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) is a novel treatment for HER2-positive cancers, including breast cancer, using conjugates of antibody against overexpressed antigens and photoabsorber IRDye700DX. This study investigated the efficacy of HER2-targeted NIR-PIT using trastuzumab-IRDye700DX conjugate (Tra-IR700) in HER2-positive breast cancer. The results showed that NIR-PIT with Tra-IR700 induced a highly selective therapeutic effect in a HER2-positive breast cancer model.

Phenobarbital, a hepatic metabolic enzyme inducer, inhibits preneoplastic hepatic lesions with expression of selective autophagy receptor p62 and ER-phagy receptor FAM134B in high-fat diet-fed rats through the inhibition of ER stress

Summary: We investigated the role of ER-phagy in NAFLD-related hepatocarcinogenesis in HFD-fed and/or PB-treated rats by clustering the expression levels of p62 and FAM134B in preneoplastic hepatic lesions. The results showed that PB administration increased clusters with high levels of p62, while HFD feeding increased clusters with high levels of both p62 and FAM134B. The combination of HFD feeding with PB counteracted each other's effects and the cluster composition resembled that of the control group.

Summary: Ochratoxin A (OTA) induces renal carcinogenicity in rats by causing karyomegaly and altering DNA methylation and gene expression. Using DNA methylation array and RNA sequencing analyses, a cluster of hypermethylated and downregulated genes associated with mitochondria and metabolic reprogramming in carcinogenesis were identified, while hypomethylated and upregulated genes related to cell cycle arrest and IL-17 production were also observed.

Continuous exposure to alpha-glycosyl isoquercitrin from mid-gestation ameliorates polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid-disrupted hippocampal neurogenesis in rats

Summary: The antioxidant alpha-glycosyl isoquercitrin (AGIQ) can ameliorate developmental neuropathy induced by polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (PIC) and promote postnatal hippocampal neurogenesis. PIC treatment decreases the abundance of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and suppresses the expression of related genes, while AGIQ can improve these effects and enhance the expression of signaling pathways.

Summary: The study investigated the ameliorating effects of a natural antioxidant formula (NAF) on a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cognitive dysfunction model in rats. The results showed that NAF reduced brain inflammation and increased the number of M2-type cells. Additionally, NAF facilitated fear extinction learning and restored neural progenitor cell numbers and reelin+ hilar interneurons in the hippocampus.

Summary: Our study investigated the hepatotoxicity of chromated copper arsenate (CCA), a wood preservative, in female rats. We observed hepatocellular hypertrophy, hepatic dysfunction, and oxidative stress in the liver of rats exposed to CCA. Analysis of liver samples revealed changes in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and protein glutathionylation, along with alterations in gene expression related to antioxidants, GST, DNA methylation, and cell metabolism. These findings suggest that CCA-induced hepatotoxicity is mediated through decreased glutathione levels and disruption of multiple molecular pathways in the liver of female rats.

Summary: This study investigated the role of neuroinflammation in a lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced cognitive dysfunction model in rats using an antioxidant, a-glycosyl isoquercitrin (AGIQ). The results showed that AGIQ treatment decreased brain proinflammatory cytokine levels and ameliorated LPS-induced adverse effects, indicating that neuroinflammation is a key factor in the development of LPS-induced impairment of fear memory acquisition.

Summary: The development of in vitro toxicity assessment methods using cultured cells has gained popularity for promoting animal welfare in animal experiments. This article briefly discusses the current status of hepatoxicity assessment using human and rat-derived hepatocytes, focusing on the liver organoid method. It also proposes how toxicologic pathologists should assess toxicity regarding the distribution of undifferentiated and differentiated cells in the organoid.
