RESUMO

Chlorpyrifos (CPF), a widely used broad-spectrum organophosphate pesticide, has been associated with various adverse health effects in animals and humans. While its primary mechanism of action involves the irreversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, secondary mechanisms have also been suggested. The aim of the present study was to explore the secondary mechanisms of action involved in CPF-induced acute cytotoxicity using human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells. In particular, we investigated oxidative stress and mitochondrial function by assessing reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, lipid peroxidation (LPO) and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) alteration. Results showed that 24-h exposure to CPF (78.125-2500 µM) decreased cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 = 280.87 ± 26.63 µM). Sub-toxic CPF concentrations (17.5, 35 and 70 µM) induced increases in ROS generation (by 83%), mitochondrial superoxide (by 7.1%), LPO (by 11%), and decreased ΔΨm (by 20%). CPF also upregulated Nrf2 protein expression, indicating the role of the latter in modulating the cellular response to oxidative insults. Overall, our findings suggest that CPF caused hepatotoxicity through oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Given the re-emerging use of CPF, this study emphasizes the need for comprehensive analysis to elucidate its toxicity on non-target organs and associated mechanisms.

RESUMO

Presenta la experiencia del Hospital 12 de Octubre sobre el tratamiento conservador del cáncer del seno, durante el período de observación de 1978 a 1990 que alcanza 218 pacientes. Propicia este tratamiento como la línea más racional, como garantía de la calidad asistencial, ya que mutilación no es sinónimo de curación y la extirpación contribuye a crear insatisfacción e imperfección. Apoyábamos el tratamiento no mutilante en los resultados obtenidos por otros autores, así como en nuestra propia experiencia, pero no consignábamos todavía los resultados de estudios randomizados. Considerábamos la terapéutica conservadora como la sumación de esfuerzos quirúrgicos (tumurectomía y vaciamiento axilar) y radioterápicos (irradicación de la mama y en ocasiones de las áreas ganglionares) e implicábamos los tratamientos sistémicos en dependencia de factores pronósticos específicos para cada caso...
