Abstract Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are human-made chemicals that accumulate in the human body environment over time. Humans primarily exposed to PFAS through drinking water, food, consumer products, dust. These exposures can have many adverse health effects, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) factors contributing CVDs. This study identified molecular mechanisms of CVDs caused by PFAS. Methods: For this purpose, various computational tools, such as Comparative Toxicogenomic Database, ShinyGO, ChEA3, MIENTURNET, GeneMANIA, STRING, Cytoscape, were used conduct silico analyses. Results: The results showed 10 genes common between CVDs, among these genes, PPAR signaling pathway, fatty acid metabolic processes, lipid binding most significantly associated gene ontology terms. Among top transcription (TFs) related peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma androgen prominent. Additionally, hsa-miR-130b-3p, hsa-miR-130a-3p, hsa-miR-129-5p featured microRNAs involved PFAS-induced Finally, PPARA PPARG core Conclusion: findings may contribute a better understanding reveal new potential targets

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a broad-spectrum organophosphate chloride (OP) insecticide widely used in domestic use and open field. However, there currently no relevant research revealing the toxic effects of CPF exposure on skin, then it necessary to comprehensively understand mechanisms. The results showed that skin tissue structure function mice were significantly disrupted after exposure. Furthermore, PPI network analysis molecular docking experiments pinpointed core targets such as Bcl2, EGFR, Caspase-3, TNF-α, IL-1β, VEGF. Additionally, through KEGG analysis, VEGF apoptosis signaling pathways identified pivotal implicated CPF-induced toxicity. These subsequently confirmed animal experimentation. In conclusion, our study suggests primarily induces damage by disrupting function, mediated proliferation processes cells, alongside aberrant angiogenesis heightened inflammatory response. insights are expected advance development preventive therapeutic strategies aimed at mitigating adverse skin.

Abstract Millions of tons unrecycled plastic are polluting landfills and oceans, Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a plasticizer classified as possible carcinogen, is found in many environments, posing health risks. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), one the most prevalent malignancies, recorded approximately 434,419 new cases 155,702 deaths 2022. DEHP can cause developmental dysregulation, reproductive impairments, tumorigenesis, transgenerational diseases; however, mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate toxic targets molecular associated with exposure RCC occurrence by integrating network toxicology docking, utilizing multilevel bioinformatics data. By systematically diverse databases, 82 both were identified. Subsequent screening STRING Cytoscape highlighted 25 key targets, including CASP3, BCL2, MMP9, BCL2L1, CTSS, APP. GO KEGG enrichment analyses revealed that involved apoptosis, abnormal hormone activity, cancer-related signaling cascades, ligand-receptor interactions, endocrine system pathways. Molecular docking simulations using CB-dock confirmed high-affinity binding interactions between targets. These results suggest may promote development regulating apoptosis proliferation through pathways such neuroactive interaction, cancer, apoptosis. provides theoretical basis for understanding DEHP-induced renal carcinogenesis serves foundation future experimental studies validate computational predictions regarding DEHP-associated tumor risks from products environmental exposure.
