Background Human exposure to silica dust is very common in both working and living environments. However, the potential long-term health effects have not been well established across different situations. Methods Findings We studied 74,040 workers who worked at 29 metal mines pottery factories China for 1 y or more between January 1, 1960, December 31, 1974, with follow-up until 2003 (median of 33 y). estimated cumulative (CDE) each worker by linking work history a job–exposure matrix....

Introduction The pituitary and liver are among the main sites of action estrogens in fish. Years research has shown that xenoestrogens can interfere with functions estrogens. There is however incomplete understanding xenoestrogen targets genes, their molecular mechanisms potential effects some target organs, particularly pituitary. Methods We performed a comprehensive analysis transcriptome 72 h after injection ethynylestradiol (EE2: 10, 50 or 250 nmol/kg body weight/bw) bisphenol A (BPA: 8,...

A fully synthetic self-adjuvanting cancer vaccine candidate was constructed through covalent conjugation of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell ligand α-galactosylceramide (αGalCer) with sialyl Tn (STn), a representative tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen (TACA). This two-component STn-αGalCer is devoid antigenic peptide, featuring the well-defined structure high simplicity. showed remarkable efficacy in inducing antibody class switching from IgM to STn-specific IgG. Subtypes IgG were...

The aim of the present study was to investigate effects defined mixtures polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), at low, environmentally relevant (1× = L), or high (20× H) doses, on biological responses in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). To this end, farmed juvenile were exposed day 0 7 via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections, a two-week vivo experiment. In total, there 10 groups fish (n 21-22): two control groups, four separate exposure PAH PFAS (L, H),...

Abstract Background With the cost of DNA sequencing decreasing, increasing amounts RNA-Seq data are being generated giving novel insight into gene expression and regulation. Prior to analysis expression, has be processed through a number steps resulting in quantification each gene/transcript analyzed samples. A workflows available help researchers perform these on their own data, or public take advantage software reference re-analysis. However, many existing limited specific types studies....

The aim of the present study was to investigate effects per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), both single compounds a mixture these, using precision-cut liver slices (PCLS) from Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). PCLS were exposed for 48 h perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) perfluorononanoate (PFNA) (10, 50 100 μM), three mixtures these at equimolar concentrations μM). Transcriptomic responses assessed RNA sequencing. Among exposures PFAS, PFOS produced highest...

Relapsed/refractory (r/r) primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an intractable situation without sound treatment. Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) represents attractive drug target in PCNSL. Orelabrutinib a new-generation BTK inhibitor with high cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentration. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib-containing combination therapy patients r/r PCNSL.We retrospectively analyzed PCNSL who received rituximab, high-dose...

How an organism copes with chemicals is largely determined by the genes and proteins that collectively function to defend against, detoxify eliminate chemical stressors. This integrative network includes receptors transcription factors, biotransformation enzymes, transporters, antioxidants, metal- heat-responsive genes, known as defensome. Teleost fish largest group of vertebrate species can provide valuable insights into evolution functional diversity defensome genes. We have previously...

Abstract Background Recent studies have suggested that folic acid can restore abnormal DNA methylation and monocyte subset shifts caused by hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) hyperlipidemia (HL). However, the exact mechanism of action is still not fully understood. In this study, we further investigated reversal effect underlying on shift in subsets induced aberrant lipids Hcy metabolism via vitro vivo. Results Our results showed intermediate monocytes were significantly increased but had lowest...

Abstract Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is characterized by high morbidity and mortality. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an important role in tumor progression. We discovered aberrantly expressed circRNA (hsa_circ_0021727) patients with ESCC. However, the mechanism of action hsa_circ_0021727 tumors unclear. The present study aimed to investigate biological its ESCC screened for expression patients. Patients had shorter survival than those low expression. Hsa_circ_0021727 promoted...
