Abundant Rodent Furan-Derived Urinary Metabolites Are Associated with Tobacco Smoke Exposure in Humans.
Chem. Res. Toxicol. 28 , 1508-16, (2015) 2015-07-20 Furan, a possible human carcinogen, is found in heat treated foods and tobacco smoke. Previous studies have shown that humans are capable of converting furan to its reactive metabolite, cis-2-butene-1,4-dial (BDA), and therefore may be susceptible to furan to... |

Disruption of type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase activity in cultured human glial cells by polybrominated diphenyl ethers.
Chem. Res. Toxicol. 28 , 1265-74, (2015) 2015-06-15 Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants are endocrine disruptors and suspected neurodevelopmental toxicants. While the direct mechanisms of neurodevelopmental toxicity have not been fully elucidated, it is conceivable that alterations in thyroid... |

Synthetic ciguatoxin CTX 3C induces a rapid imbalance in neuronal excitability.
Chem. Res. Toxicol. 28 , 1095-108, (2015) 2015-06-15 Ciguatera is a human global disease caused by the consumption of contaminated fish that have accumulated ciguatoxins (CTXs), sodium channel activator toxins. Symptoms of ciguatera include neurological alterations such as paraesthesiae, dysaesthesiae, depressi... |

Involvement of reactive persulfides in biological bismethylmercury sulfide formation.
Chem. Res. Toxicol. 28 , 1301-6, (2015) 2015-06-15 Bismethylmercury sulfide (MeHg)2S has been found to be a detoxified metabolite of methylmercury (MeHg) that is produced by SH-SY5Y cells and in livers of rats exposed to MeHg. (MeHg)2S could be formed through the interactions between MeHg and sulfur species s... |

Polychlorinated biphenyl quinone induces endoplasmic reticulum stress, unfolded protein response, and calcium release.
Chem. Res. Toxicol. 28 , 1326-37, (2015) 2015-06-15 Organisms are able to respond to environmental insult to maintain cellular homeostasis, which include the activation of a wide range of cellular adaptive responses with tightly controlled mechanisms. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle responsible ... |

Molecular cytotoxicity mechanisms of allyl alcohol (acrolein) in budding yeast.
Chem. Res. Toxicol. , (2015) 2015-06-15 Allyl alcohol (AA) is one of the environmental pollutants used as a herbicide and industrial chemical. AA undergoes enzymatic oxidation in vivo to form Acrolein (Acr), a highly reactive and ubiquitous environmental toxicant. The exposure to AA/Acr has detrime... |

Identification of novel gene targets and putative regulators of arsenic-associated DNA methylation in human urothelial cells and bladder cancer.
Chem. Res. Toxicol. 28 , 1144-55, (2015) 2015-06-15 There is strong epidemiologic evidence linking chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) to myriad adverse health effects, including cancer of the bladder. We set out to identify DNA methylation patterns associated with arsenic and its metabolites in exfoli... |

Metabolomics analysis and biomarker identification for brains of rats exposed subchronically to the mixtures of low-dose cadmium and chlorpyrifos.
Chem. Res. Toxicol. 28 , 1216-23, (2015) 2015-06-15 Cadmium (Cd) and chlorpyrifos (CPF) are widespread harmful environmental pollutants with neurotoxicity to mammals. Although the exposure to Cd and CPF at the same time may pose a significant risk to human health, the subchronic combined neurotoxicity of these... |

Tributyltin engages multiple nuclear receptor pathways and suppresses osteogenesis in bone marrow multipotent stromal cells.
Chem. Res. Toxicol. 28 , 1156-66, (2015) 2015-06-15 Organotins are members of the environmental obesogen class of contaminants because they activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), the essential regulator of adipogenesis. Exposure to thiazolidinediones (PPARγ ligands used to treat type 2 ... |
