RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to use an air-liquid interface (ALI) exposure system to simulate the inhalation exposure of motorcycle exhaust particulates (MEPs) and then investigate the benchmark dose (BMD) of MEPs by evaluating cell relative viability (CRV) in lung epithelial BEAS-2B cells. METHODS: The MEPs dose was characterized by measuring the number concentration (NC), surface area concentration (SAC), and mass concentration (MC). BEAS-2B cells were exposed to MEPs at different concentrations via ALI and CRV was determined using Cell Counting Kit (CCK-8) assay. BMD software was applied to calculate BMD and the lower limit of benchmark dose (BMDL) according to Akaike Information Coefficient (AIC), with P-value based on Hill, Linear, Polynomial, and Power model. RESULTS: Our results reveal that BMD of NC and SAC were estimated by the best-fitting Hill model, while MC was estimated by Polynomial model. The BMDL for CRV following ALI exposure to MEPs were as follows: 364.2#/cm 3 for NC; 0.662 × 10 7 nm 2/cm 3 for SAC; and 0.278 µg/m 3 for MC. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that MEPs exposure via ALI system induces a dose-dependent decrease of CRV and provides the potential exposure threshold of MEPs in a lung cell model.

RESUMEN

A subchronic toxicity study was conducted in Wistar rats to evaluate the potential health effects of genetically modified (GM) herbicide-tolerant soybean DAS-68416-4. Rats were fed with diets containing toasted meal produced from GM soybean engineered with aad-12 and pat genes or containing non-GM soybean at a dose of 30.0, 15.0, or 7.5%,w/w% and 0% (control group) for 90 consecutive days. Animals were evaluated for general behavior, body weight gain, food consumption, food use efficiency, etc. At the middle and end of the study, blood and serum samples were collected for routine and biochemical assays. Internal organs were taken for calculating relative weights and doing histopathological examination. The rats were active and healthy without any abnormal symptoms during the entire study period. No biological differences in hematological or biochemical indices were detected. No histopathological changes were observed. Under the conditions of this study, herbicide-tolerant soybean DAS-68416-4 did not cause any treatment-related effects in Wistar rats following 90 days of dietary administration.

RESUMEN

A 90-day feeding study in rats was conducted to evaluate the subchronic oral toxicity of genetically modified (GM) DAS-81419-2 soybean. Wistar rats were fed with diets containing toasted soybean meal produced from DAS-81419-2 soybean grain that expresses the Cry1F, Cry1Ac, and Pat proteins or containing conventional soybean at doses of 30.0%, 15.0%, 7.5%, or 0% (control group) for 90 consecutive days. The general behavior, body weight and food consumption were observed. At the middle and end of the experiment, blood, serum, and urine samples were collected for biochemical assays. At the conclusion of the study, the internal organs were weighed and histopathological examination was completed. The rats exhibited free movement and shiny coats without any abnormal symptoms or abnormal secretions in their noses, eyes, or mouths. There were no adverse effects on body weight in GM soybean groups and conventional soybean groups. No biological differences in hematological, biochemical, or urine indices were observed. No significant differences in relative organ weights were detected between the experimental groups and the control group. No histopathological changes were observed. Under the conditions of this study, DAS-81419-2 soybean did not cause any treatment-related effects in Wistar rats following 90 days of dietary administration.
