Aluminum is everywhere in nature and a recognized neurotoxicant closely associated with various neurodegenerative diseases. Neuroinflammation occurs the early stage of diseases, but underlying mechanism by which aluminum induces neuroinflammation remains unclear.A 3-month subchronic exposure mouse model was established drinking water containing chloride (AlCl3). Microglia BV2 cells hippocampal neuron HT22 were treated AlCl3 vitro. BBG YC-1 used as intervention agents.Aluminum could activate...

Aluminum is an environmental toxicant whose long-term exposure closely associated with nervous system impairment. This study mainly investigated neurological impairment induced by subchronic aluminum via activating NLRP3-medicated pyroptosis pathway. In vivo, Kunming mice were exposed to AlCl3 (30.3 mg/kg, 101 mg/kg and 303 mg/kg) drinking water for 3 months, administered Rsv (100 gavage 1 month. Cognitive was assessed Morris maze test, pathological injury detected H&E staining. BBB...

Abstract Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 3′UTR of key DNA repair enzyme genes are associated with inter‐individual differences capacity (DRC) and susceptibility to a variety human malignancies such as lung cancer. In this study, seven candidate SNPs DRC‐related including ERCC1 (rs3212986, rs2336219, rs735482), OGG1 (rs1052133), MLH3 (rs108621), CD3EAP (rs1007616), PPP1R13L (rs6966) were analyzed 300 cancer patients controls from the northeast China. Furthermore, we introduced...

Background Benzo[a]pyrene(B[a]P), and its ultimate metabolite Benzo[a]pyrene 7,8-diol 9,10-epoxide (BPDE), are classic DNA damaging carcinogens. damage caused by BPDE is normally repaired Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER), of which ERCC1 ERCC2/XPD exert an indispensable role. Genetic variations in ERCC2 have been related to repair efficiency. In this study we used lymphocytes from healthy individuals show that polymorphisms directly associated with decreased Methods (rs3212986 rs11615)...

Abstract Colorectal cancer ( CRC ), as a malignant tumor of lower digestive tract, has been found to have an increasing morbidity and mortality in China. It was particularly important find some earlier biomarkers predict the risk prognosis. In this study, several polymorphisms on 3′ UTR three DNA repair genes including MLH 3 rs10862, ERCC 1 rs3212986, rs735482, rs2336219, OGG rs1052133 were chosen by bioinformatics exploration, then, case–control study 200 cases controls performed....

Lanthanum is a rare earth element which can have adverse effects on the central nervous system (CNS). However, mechanisms of these are not fully understood. The activated microglia plays an important role in pathogenesis neurodegenerative diseases and thus could be involved mediating toxic lanthanum CNS. Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) critical nuclear factor regulates expression inflammatory mediators microglia. This study investigated chloride (LaCl3) NF-κB signaling pathway explored...

Aluminum is mainly exposed to the general population through food and water, absorbed into systemic circulation intestine, which in turn damages intestinal barrier.The mice model of subchronic exposure aluminum chloride (AlCl3 ) was established via oral. Tail suspension test used detect depressive behavior. H&E staining performed assess pathological injury. Intestinal permeability estimated by exogenous Evans blue content. The level inflammatory cytokines tight junction protein were assessed...

Numerous genes are arranged in complex overlapping and interlaced patterns, such arrangements potentially contribute to the regulation of gene expression. Previous studies have demonstrated that a region chromosome 19q13.2-3 encompassing excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1), CD3e molecule associated protein (CD3EAP) phosphatase regulatory subunit 13 like (PPP1R13L) was found be with risk prognosis non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The present study confirmed hypothesis...
