The association of genetic polymorphisms with the individual sensitivity of humans to the action of pesticide pollution is being actively studied in the world. The aim of this study was a molecular epidemiological analysis of candidate polymorphisms of genes involved in pesticide metabolism, detoxification, and antioxidant protection. Some of the selected polymorphisms also relate to susceptibility to cancer and cardiovascular, respiratory, and immune system diseases in individuals exposed to pesticides for a long time. For a case-control study of a unique cohort of people exposed to organochlorine pesticides for 10 years or more were chosen, a control cohort was selected that matched with the experimental group by the main population characteristics. PCR-PRLF and genome-wide microarray genotyping (GWAS) methods were used. We identified 17 polymorphisms of xenobiotic detoxification genes and 27 polymorphisms of antioxidant defense genes, which had a significantly high statistical association with the negative impact of chronic pesticide intoxication on human health. We also found 17 polymorphisms of xenobiotic detoxification genes and 12 polymorphisms of antioxidant defense genes that have a protective effect. Data obtained added to the list of potential polymorphisms that define a group at high risk or resistant to the negative effects of pesticides.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) features complex compatibility mechanisms involving multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway interactions. This study presents an interpretable graph artificial intelligence (GraphAI) framework to quantify such mechanisms in Chinese herbal formulas (CHFs).

Cyclosporine A (CsA) is a widely used immunosuppressant for posttransplantation and autoimmune diseases, but its clinical application is limited by severe hepatorenal toxicity. Krüppel-like factor 15 (KLF15), a key regulator of xenobiotic metabolism, has been shown to modulate the metabolism of acetaminophen and rifampicin and play a role in the associated drug-induced liver toxicity. However, its role in CsA metabolism and CsA-induced hepatorenal injury remains unclear.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying insect adaptation is critical for elucidating the evolution of pesticide resistance and improving pest management strategies. While host plant preadaptation has been proposed to facilitate insecticide resistance, direct evidence remains limited. Here, we investigated a sigma-class glutathione S-transferase (GST), LdGSTs2, in the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), a major agricultural pest.

Arthropods have evolved advanced metabolic detoxification pathways that have helped them adapt to complex stresses induced by plant secondary metabolites and synthetic pesticides. Nonetheless, how xenobiotics induce the suite of intracellular metabolic changes important for detoxification in arthropods remains unexplored. In this study, we found that the ancient oxidative stress signaling pathway has adapted to transmit the detoxification signal in T.

Environmental xenobiotics comprising a wide array of natural and synthetic chemicals are an escalating global health concern due to their persistent presence in ecosystems and their profound impact on human liver health. The liver, as the body's principal detoxification organ, is especially vulnerable to these substances, which are commonly encountered through ingestion, inhalation, or dermal exposure. This review systematically categorizes key classes of environmental xenobiotics, including aflatoxins, alcohol, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, heavy metals, bisphenol A (BPA), aristolochic acids, cyanotoxins, and nitrosamines, based on their sources and chemical properties.
