Article Abstract
Cadmium, an extremely toxic heavy metal, poses significant health risks to humans. Despite persistent research efforts, the development of effective treatments for cadmium intoxication remains a challenge. This study aims to establish the chemical groundwork for improved chelation therapy options against cadmium poisoning. Herein, the coordination chemistry of a series of sulfur-rich macrocycles featuring different polyamine backbones (NO3S, TACD3S, DO4S, TRI4S, and TE4S) was investigated. Our results demonstrate that DO4S exhibits exceptional Cd scavenging ability, forming the most thermodynamically stable complex among the studied chelators. The stability of the Cd complexes decreases in the following order: DO4S (pCd = 19.8) ≫ NO3S (pCd = 11.0) ∼ TRI4S (pCd = 10.9) ≫ TE4S (pCd = 7.8) > TACD3S (pCd = 7.3). DFT calculations demonstrated that the backbone polarization properties dictate the observed reduced stability when shifting from DO4S to the other ligands. DO4S showed superior affinity when compared to the state-of-the-art Cd chelators such as EDTA (pCd = 16.7), DTPA (pCd = 17.4), and DMSA (pCd = 13.2). The findings from this study underscore the potential of the examined chelating agents, with particular reference to DO4S, paving the way for the development of advanced chelation therapies to combat cadmium poisoning.

Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that exhibits strong carcinogenic properties and promotes breast cancer (BC) progression. Autophagic flux dysfunction is involved in Cd-induced BC progression, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, it is observed that impaired autophagic flux and metabolic reprogramming are notable features related to Cd-induced proliferation, migration, and invasion in BC cell lines, including T-47D and MCF-7 cells.

Heavy metal contamination has gradually become a highly significant global issue due to its continual existence in the environment and bioaccumulation in the ecosystems, posing deleterious risks to human health. The major objectives of the review is to investigate the sources, pathways, and toxicological impacts of heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, mercury, and arsenic, elucidating their health consequences and plausible mitigation strategies. Furthermore, the review explores the dual origins of heavy metal contamination; natural geological processes and anthropogenic activities such as industrial emissions, mining, and agricultural practices.

Cadmium (Cd) exposure is strongly linked to various diseases and dysregulation of autophagy is a pivotal mechanism in Cd toxicity. Targeted autophagy strategies are promising for the treatment of autophagy dysregulation-related diseases, including Cd poisoning. However, the current understanding of autophagy mechanisms remains limited, hindering the development of effective strategies.

Objective: To assess the exposure levels of heavy metals, including lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium, in the local population in Sichuan and Chongqing, China, to compare and analyze the differences in reference intervals (RIs) obtained from direct and indirect sampling methods, and to explore the interchangeability and limitations of these two sampling methods.
Methods: RIs were obtained by the direct sampling method and the indirect sampling method. In the direct sample method, the levels of blood arsenic, urinary cadmium, urinary mercury, and blood lead levels of 5562 healthy participants aged 22-50 years in Sichuan and Chongqing, China were measured by atomic absorption spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.
