投稿须知/期刊简介:
Toxicology is a journal for the publication of original scientific papers on the biological effects arising from the administration of chemical compounds, principally to animals, tissues or cells, but also to man. Such compounds include industrial chemicals and residues, chemical contaminants, consumer products, drugs, metals, pesticides, food additives, cosmetics, and additives to animal feedstuff. Preference will be given to investigations dealing with the mechanisms of action of toxic agents. Papers describing molecular interactions with cellular and genetic processes will be welcomed.Quantitative toxicological studies will be published that are of relevance to risk assessment and regulatory management of exposure hazards and safety evaluation. This applies particularly to carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, embryotoxicity and related areas, as well as to alternatives to the use of animals in toxicological experimentation. Epidemiological studies bearing toxicological significance to man fall within the scope of the journal. The Editors also welcome the submission of concise and pertinent reviews on current issues in toxicology.IMMUNOTOXICOLOGY, a section of the journal, includes original papers and peer reviews dealing with any adverse interference of chemicals, including drugs, with the immune system: immunosuppression, hypersensitivity, auto-immunity, immune-mediated side-effects of drugs, toxicity of immunomodulating and immunotherapeutic agents. ENVIRONMENTAL AND NUTRITIONAL INTERACTIONS: A new section dedicated to original research and comprehensive critical reviews of animal as well as human and computer modeling studies of the interactions between the environment and nutrition. These include the effects of environmental changes on nutrition and food production; identification of nutrient interactions with environmentally induced disorders; the effect of nutritional status on the response to environmental stresses; and understanding the mechanisms of such interactions and their impact on human health and welfare. A list of forthcoming manuscripts is available on Internet via http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/toxicol-manuscripts.

Pleiotrophin modulates acute and long-term LPS-induced neuroinflammatory responses and hippocampal neurogenesis.
The hippocampus is one of the most vulnerable regions affected in disorders characterized by overt neuroinflammation such as neurodegenerative diseases. Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a neurotrophic factor that modulates acute neuroinflammation in different contexts. PTN is found highly upregulated in the brain in different chronic disorders characterized by neuroinflammation, suggesting an important role in the modulation of sustained neuroinflammation. To test this hypothesis, we studied the acute and long-term effects of a single lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 5 mg/kg) administration in Ptn+/+ and Ptn-/- mice, and in mice with Ptn-overexpression (Ptn-Tg). Endogenous PTN levels proportionally modulate LPS-induced increase in TNF-α plasma levels one hour after treatment. In the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus, a lower percentage of DCX+ cells were detected in saline-treated Ptn-/- mice compared to Ptn+/+ mice, suggesting a crucial role of PTN in the maintenance of hippocampal neuronal progenitors. The data show that PTN overexpression tends to potentiate acute microglial responses in the DG 16 hours after LPS treatment. Remarkably, a significant increase in the number of neuronal progenitors together with astrogliosis was detected 10 months after a single injection of LPS treatment in wild type mice. However, these LPS-induced long-term effects were prevented in Ptn-/- and Ptn-Tg mice, suggesting that PTN modulates LPS-induced long-term neurogenesis changes and astrocytic response in the hippocampus. The data presented here suggest that endogenous PTN levels are crucial in the regulation of acute LPS-induced systemic and hippocampal microglial responses in young mice. Furthermore, our findings provide evidence of the key role of PTN in the regulation of long-term LPS effects on astrocytic response and neurogenesis in the hippocampus.

Using microfluidic and conventional platforms to evaluate the effects of lanthanides on spheroid formation.
Metastasis contributes to the increased mortality rate of cancer, but the intricate mechanisms remain unclear. Cancer cells from a primary tumor invade nearby tissues and access the lymphatic or circulatory system. If these cells manage to survive and extravasate from the vasculature into distant tissues and ultimately adapt to survive, they will proliferate and facilitate malignant tumor formation. Traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures offer a rapid and convenient method for validating the efficacy of anticancer drugs within a reasonable cost range, but their utility is limited because of tumors' high heterogeneity in vivo and spatial complexities. Three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures that mimic the physiological conditions of cancer cells in vivo have gained considerable interest. In these cultures, cells assemble into spheroids through gravity, magnetic forces, or their low-adhesion to the plates. Although these approaches address some of the limitations of 2D cultures, they often require a considerable amount of time and cost. Therefore, this study aims to enhance the effectiveness of 3D culture techniques by using microfluidic systems to provide a high-throughput and sensitive pipeline for drug screening. Using these systems, we studied the effects of lanthanide elements, which have garnered interest in cancer treatment, on spheroid formation and cell spreading. Our findings suggest that these elements alter the compactness of cell spheroids and decrease cell mobility.
