  6. A method to assess lifetime dietary risk: Example of cadmium exposure

    • Food and Chemical Toxicology

    • Author(s): Manon Pruvost-Couvreur, Bruno Le Bizec, Camille Béchaux, Gilles Rivière

      Abstract

      Usually health risk related to food contaminants is assessed based on consumption data collected on a few days. Consequently, this approach considers neither the evolution of exposures over time nor the potential accumulation of the substance.

      The aim of the present study was to develop a method to assess lifetime dietary risk due to cadmium exposure.

  7. Cadmium-Induced Renal Cell Toxicity Is Associated With MicroRNA Deregulation

    • International Journal of Toxicology

    • Cadmium is an environmental pollutant well known for its nephrotoxic effects. Nevertheless, mechanisms underlying nephrotoxicity continue to be elucidated. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged in recent years as modulators of xenobiotic-induced toxicity. In this context, our study aimed at elucidating whether miRNAs are involved in renal proximal tubular toxicity induced by cadmium exposure.

  8. Digging Deeper to Save the Old Anti-tuberculosis Target: D-Alanine–D-Alanine Ligase With a Novel Inhibitor, IMB-0283

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • The emergence of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has hampered treatments for tuberculosis, which consequently now require novel agents to overcome such drug resistance. The genetically stable D-alanine–D-alanine ligase A (DdlA) has been deemed as an excellent therapeutic target for tuberculosis. In the present study, a competitive inhibitor (IMB-0283) of DdlA was obtained via high-throughput screening.

  10. Designed Antimicrobial Peptides for Topical Treatment of Antibiotic Resistant Acne Vulgaris

    • Antibiotics

    • Acne vulgaris, caused by the Gram-positive bacterium Cutibacterium acnes, is a prevalent dermatologic condition with substantial cutaneous and psychological morbidity. Mild acne is treated with topical antibiotics with more severe inflammatory forms requiring the prolonged use of oral antibiotics, resulting in antimicrobial resistance development.

  11. Phenotypic and genomic analysis of multiple heavy metal–resistant Micrococcus luteus strain AS2 isolated from industrial waste water and its potential use in arsenic bioremediation

    • Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology

    • Multiple heavy metal–resistant bacterium, Micrococcus luteus strain AS2, was isolated from industrial waste water of District Sheikhupura, Pakistan. The isolated bacterium showed minimum inhibitory concentrations of 55 and 275 mM against arsenite and arsenate. The bacterial strain also showed resistance against other heavy metal ions, i.e., lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury, nickel, and zinc, apart from arsenic. The optimum temperature and pH were 37 °C and 7, respectively.

  16. Wnt pathway: A mechanism worth considering in endocrine disrupting chemical action

    • Toxicology and Industrial Health

    • Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are defined as exogenous substances that can alter the development and functioning of the endocrine system. The Wnt signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved pathway consisting of proteins that transmit cell-to-cell receptors through cell surface receptors, regulating important aspects of cell migration, polarity, neural formation, and organogenesis, which determines the fate of the cell during embryonic development.

  18. Effect of cadmium on mRNA mistranslation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    • Journal of Basic Microbiology

    • Although highly accurate molecular processes and various messenger RNA (mRNA) quality control and ribosome proofreading mechanisms are used by organisms to transcribe their genes and maintain the fidelity of genetic information, errors are inherent in all biological systems. Low‐level translation errors caused by an imbalance of homologous and nonhomologous amino acids caused by stress conditions are particularly common.

  19. Spatial Distribution and Bio-accumulation of Cadmium and Lead in Soil, Rice and Vegetables in Typical Pollution Areas, China

    • Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology

    • The adverse effects of Cd and Pb on human health have been widely reported. While, there were several typical pollution areas in China which has not been investigated comprehensively and deeply. In this study, 475 soil and 472 plant samples from these pollution areas were analyzed for Cd and Pb with ICP-MS.

  22. Reintroducing mothur: 10 Years Later

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • More than 10 years ago, we published the paper describing the mothur software package in Applied and Environmental Microbiology. Our goal was to create a comprehensive package that allowed users to analyze amplicon sequence data using the most robust methods available. mothur has helped lead the community through the ongoing sequencing revolution and continues to provide this service to the microbial ecology community.

  23. N-Hydroxyarylamine O-Acetyltransferases Catalyze Acetylation of 3-Amino-4-Hydroxyphenylarsonic Acid in the 4-Hydroxy-3-Nitrobenzenearsonic Acid Transformation Pathway of Enterobacter sp. Strain CZ-1

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • The organoarsenical feed additive 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzenearsonic acid (roxarsone [ROX]) is widely used and released into the environment. We previously showed a two-step pathway of ROX transformation by Enterobacter sp. strain CZ-1 involving the reduction of ROX to 3-amino-4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid (3-AHPAA) and the acetylation of 3-AHPAA to N-acetyl-4-hydroxy-m-arsanilic acid (N-AHPAA) (K.
