Abstract:

Since their inception the B-Iactam antibiotics have become one of the most important classes of phannaceutical agents, both therapeutically and economically, in modern day usage for the treatment of a wide spectrum of bacterial infections. However, due to the versatility of bacteria many previously treatable species are developing resistance to the antibiotics currently available and so there is ever a need to develop more ~-lactam antibiotics, which are effective and yet safe. A major drawback to the ~-lactams is the degree of immunologically adverse reactions they induce. It was the aim of t

Abstract:

Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (ADBAC) and didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DDAC) are common quaternary ammonium compounds used as disinfectants in households, medical, and restaurant settings. They cause occupational skin and respiratory hazards in humans, and developmental and reproductive toxicity in mice. They also cause increased secretions of proinflammatory cytokines in cell lines and vaginal inflammation in porcine models; but have not been evaluated for developmental immunotoxicity.

The three insecticides of interest were lindane (an organochlorine), malathion (an organophosphate) and piperonyl butoxide (PBO; a synergist). Based on minimum cytotoxicity (> LC25), the following concentrations were chosen for the pesticide mixture studies: 70Î¼M lindane (Lind), 50Î¼M malathion (Mal) and 55Î¼M PBO. In the AlamarBlue cytotoxicity assay, individual pesticide and mixtures of malathion/PBO (MP) and malathion/lindane (ML) prompted cytotoxicity with varying intensities (Mal 18.8%, Lind 20.4%, PBO 23.5%, ML 53.6% and MP 64.9%).

Abstract:

The immunotoxic effects of multiple pesticide exposure were evaluated. C57BL/6 mouse thymocytes were exposed to lindane, malathion, and permethrin, either separately or in mixtures of two pesticides, in concentrations ranging from 37.5 uM to 1mM. These exposures caused both apoptotic and necrotic cell death in thymocytes as evaluated by 7-aminoactinomycin-D, Annexin-V/PI, and lactate dehydrogenase release assays. When cells were exposed to lindane+malathion, or lindane+permethrin, a significantly greater-than-additive cytotoxicity was observed. The pesticide exposure caused DNA ladder formatio

A bacterial challenge assay was developed utilizing the earthworm, Lumbricus terrestris, in order to assess potential immunotoxic effects from exposure to specific polychlorinated biphenyl congeners.

In vitro assays for effects of PCBs on phagocytosis agreed with mammalian studies, demonstrating potent suppression of phagocytosis by the non-coplanar PCB congener 138 and no suppression by the coplanar congener 126.

Mycotoxins challenge not only the health of animals and humans, but also the economy, especially in underdeveloped countries where contamination is most likely.

Abstract:

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a highly toxic environmental pollutant and is well known for its immunotoxic effects, particularly on the thymus. The exact mechanism by which TCDD induces thymic atrophy is not known. In the current study, we investigated whether TCDD triggers apoptosis in the thymocytes and whether Fas and Fas ligand play a role in TCDD-mediated immunotoxicity. Administration of a single dose of TCDD at 0.1, 1, 5 or 50 mg/kg body weight intraperitoneally into C57BL/6 +/+ mice caused a significant dose-dependent decrease in the thymic cellularity; whereas, in t

Five-day exposure to cUCA subtly increased splenocyte proliferation in response to the T cell mitogen Concanavalin A.

To this date, no work has been done to characterize the long-term effects of TCDD on the activated cells. Additionally, no studies have been done to determine whether TCDD has any effect on resting T cells. In the current study, therefore, we investigated the effects of TCDD on activated and resting cells within the same animal

Thus, immune modulation is considered as one of the potential risks and consequences following exposure to these chemicals.

Because immune cells are more susceptible to toxic insults at a lower dose than most other cell types, the effects of pesticides and their mixtures on murine splenocytes were evalua

Les pesticides synthétiques sont de plus en plus utilisés dans la lutte antiparasitaire moderne et dans l'agriculture conventionnelle. Leurs résidus sont fréquemment trouvés dans notre environnement et dans notre alimentation. Le groupe des insecticides les plus couramment utilisés sont les néonicotinoïdes et leurs résidus ont par exemple été trouvés dans les fruits et légumes traités, le pollen et le miel, ainsi que dans l’organisme des abeilles. Même si les concentrations environnementales rencontrées sont plutôt faibles par rapport aux concentrations pour la toxicité aiguë, elles mènent à d

Abstract:

Aves domésticas são um dos principais alvos da contaminação alimentar com micotoxinas. O que contribui para o aumento dos prejuízos da indústria avícola devido a problemas como: alta mortalidade, redução do ganho de peso, alteração da conversão alimentar, imunossupressão, anormalidades embrionárias e morte embrionária precoce. Além disso, o acúmulo residual de micotoxinas na carne é uma preocupação da Saúde Pública. Diversos métodos são utilizados para a avaliação da citotoxicidade induzida por agentes tóxicos, incluindo a inibição do crescimento celular, a avaliação da capacidade celular de s

Abstract:

A Uncaria tomentosa (U. tomentosa), popularmente conhecida como \"Unha-de-gato\", é uma planta medicinal nativa das Américas, mundialmente empregada devido às suas atividades anti-inflamatórias e imunomodulatórias. O consumo desta planta ocorre não apenas na forma in natura, mas principalmente como fitoterápico, sendo muitas vezes utilizada de forma indiscriminada pela população. Apesar de vários estudos revelarem as propriedades terapêuticas da U. tomentosa, poucos são os trabalhos que empregam protocolos estabelecidos por agências regulamentadoras internacionais, para a avaliação dos possíve

Abstract:

Cytokines are pleiotropic and redundant signaling molecules that govern the inflammatory response and immunity, a critical ecological parameter for organism success and population growth. Produced at the site of injury or pathogen intrusion by a variety of cell types, cytokines mediate cell-signaling in either an autocrine or paracrine manner. The type and magnitude of the cytokine milieu produced subsequently dictates the strength and form of immune response. As the most diverse vertebrate group, with a high sensitivity to contaminants, fish represent an important foci for the evaluation of i

Abstract:

The prospect of utilizing the cichlid teleost tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) as an alternative experimental model to mammals for immunotoxicity risk assessment is currently being proposed. As such, the National Toxicology Program's (NTP) standard battery of rodent immunotoxicity assays is being developed for use in this fish species. Included in the testing series are the hemolytic plaque forming cell (PFC) and the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) assays, quantitative indicators of antibody production and cell-mediated activity, respectively. The assays were modified in consideration of specif

Abstract:

Mestrado em Química - Química Analítica e Qualidade<br>Information and knowledge related to nanotechnology raise new challenges to the scientific community mainly in terms of human health risks and environmental implications associated to nanomaterials. In this perspective, the contamination of aquatic environments cannot be overlooked since it is an ultimate repository of the contaminants where this emerging appears as part of a cocktail of different classes of contaminants. Thus, the major task of this work was to connect gaps in current knowledge with a comprehensive sequence of biological

A l'heure actuelle, l'usage des nanoparticules (NP5) est de plus en plus médiatisé.

Abstract:

Monocrotaline (MCT) is a member of a class of naturally occurring phytotoxins known as pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). Exposure to PAs can result in liver and cardiopulmonary lesions as well as lymphoid organ atrophy. In the present study C57BI/6 (B6) mice received MCT (0-150 mg/kg/day, po) for 14 days. Overt toxicity was minimal and observed only at highly immunosuppressive doses. Following MCT exposure, significant dose-dependent suppressions were observed in the following immune responses: numbers of antibody producing cells, cytotoxic T- lymphocyte activity, and NK cell cytotoxicity.
