Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a listed persistent organic pollutant, poses risks to human health and is closely linked to chronic metabolic diseases. Although the role of mitochondrial fission in these diseases has garnered attention, whether and how PFOS induces mitochondrial fission remains obscure. Here, we found that PFOS induced mitochondrial fission, as demonstrated by the fragmentation of mitochondria and the upregulation of dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), phospho-DRP1 and mitochondrial fission protein 1 (FIS1) in human hepatocytes MIHA and mice liver. Blocking the calcium transfer from lysosomes to mitochondria that was executed by transient receptor potential mucolipin 1 (TRPML1) of lysosomes and voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) of mitochondria, did not affect PFOS-induced mitochondrial fission. In contrast, knockdown of TRPML1 or VDAC1 reversed this process. Knockdown of mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU), rather than inhibiting its activity, effectively alleviated PFOS-induced mitochondrial fission. Additionally, PFOS increased MCU oligomers without affecting MCU monomer. Inhibiting autophagy reversed the MCU oligomerization. Further investigation unveiled the interactions of MCU with VDAC1, TRPML1, mitochondrial Fo complex subunit F2 (ATP5J2) and DRP1 in PFOS-exposed mice liver and MIHA cells. We also discovered that knockdown of ATP5J2 alleviated PFOS-induced mitochondrial fission. Ulteriorly, PFOS upregulated ATP5J2 that underwent oligomerization. Knockdown of MCU reversed the increase in ATP5J2. Our study uncovers the presence and molecular basics of lysosomes-regulated mitochondrial fission under PFOS exposure, explains the regulatory pathways on MCU and ATP5J2 oligomerization and their pivotal roles in mitochondrial fission, highlighting the involvement of mitochondrial fission in PFOS-related health risks.

Adsorption is well accepted as an effective method for perfluorinated compounds’ (PFCs) removal from water among various conventional methods. However, development of adsorbents that combine good performance of PFC removal and regenerability has not yet been realized. This work demonstrated the fabrication and application of an ammoniated magnetic adsorbent for efficient and economical PFOS and PFOA removal. Functional ammonium groups and γ-Fe 2 O 3 were effectively incorporated in the particle with the proposed method. These fabricated magnetic particles presented superior adsorption performance for PFOS and PFOA with short equilibrium time of 120 min and high adsorption capacity. The isotherms revealed that the adsorption process belonged to multilayer sorption with their intricate interactions including anion exchange and hydrophobic interaction. The magnetic particle maintained its removal efficacy over a wide pH range of 3–9 or with coexisting substances. Moreover, the regeneration and reuse of the magnetic particle were successfully carried out with PFOS and PFOA removal efficiency sustained higher than 80% in 15 consecutive treatment cycles. Along with the efficient adsorption and easy separation of adsorbents, we expect that this ammoniated magnetic particle can serve as an excellent alternative for PFOS and PFOA removal from water.

BDD/SnO 2 -F electrode was synthesized by spin-coating and heat treatment, and it was characterized by scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). Electrochemical oxidation of chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (F-53B, ClCF 2 CF 2 CF 2 CF 2 CF 2 CF 2 -O-CF 2 CF 2 -SO 3 K) as PFOS substitute was carried out with the BDD, BDD/SnO 2 , BDD/PbO 2 , and BDD/SnO 2 -F anodes. The effects of F and Sn ratio, current density, initial pH, initial F-53B concentration, the supporting electrolyte, NaCl concentration, and electrode distance on the degradation ratios were investigated. The defluorination and the desulfurization were evaluated by ion chromatography and UV–vis spectra. The intermediate products were analyzed on the liquid chromatography system coupled with a triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS). The experimental results showed that BDD/SnO 2 -F had the most outstanding electrochemical oxidation performance. After introduction of F into SnO 2 crystal, the grain size of SnO 2 -F was reduced, the oxygen evolution potential was increased by 0.13 V, and the degradation ratio of F-53B was increased by 15.07%. Under the optimum operating parameters, F-53B removal ratio of 95.6% was obtained, and the defluorination ratio reached 61.39% with NaCl supporting electrolyte concentration of 1 mol/L at current density of 30 mA/cm 2 after electrolysis of 30 min. Finally, the electrochemical degradation pathways and the mechanisms of F-53B were proposed based on the intermediate products and the previous literature reported. This study indicates that the electrochemical performance of BDD anode can be much improved by modification with SnO 2 -F, and BDD/SnO 2 -F anode is kind of effective anode to decompose refractory compounds.

Global concern over per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), especially perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), disposal prompts the search for effective degradation methods. Subcritical water hydrothermal treatment shows promise but suffers from unclear degradation pathways, hindering engineering application design due to unknown intermediate products. This study introduces Fe-based amorphous alloy to enhance the subcritical water hydrothermal degradation of PFOS, achieving a degradation rate of approximately 85 % under optimized conditions of 325 °C and 1 M sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃), compared to 56 % without the alloy. Analysis of liquid and gas-phase products, along with identification of potential intermediate products, led to proposing a reaction pathway for Fe-based amorphous alloy-enhanced subcritical water hydrothermal PFOS degradation. Additionally, the distribution of fluorine in PFOS was determined by fluorine-19 nuclear magnetic resonance ( 19 F NMR), and the energy changes of key degradation steps were calculated based on DFT, which provided concrete evidence for the degradation process and verified the mechanism of subcritical hydrothermal degradation of PFOS enhanced by Fe-based amorphous alloys. Most importantly, the Fe-based amorphous alloy demonstrated effectiveness upon repeated use after water washing. These results endorse its potential as a PFOS degradation catalyst.

Due to the extremely high stability of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), effective defluorination is difficult. Previous studies indicated that PFOS can be decomposed under the catalysis of vitamin B12 (VB12) with strong artificial reductants such as Ti(III)-citrate and nZn 0 . In this study, we explored if naturally occurring reductant like sulfide (S 2− ) could initiate the reaction. In S 2− /VB12 system, branched PFOS (br-PFOS) can undergo effective decomposition and defluorination at the temperature of 70 °C and pH greater than 12. The degradation of br-PFOS fits pseudo-first-order kinetic with a rate constant of 0.0984 ± 0.0034 d -1 in the presence of 30 mM Na 2 S and 300 μM VB12, while linear PFOS (L-PFOS) remained stable during 30 d reaction process. UV–Vis spectral characterization indicates that S 2− reduces VB12(Co III ) to Co II , which is able to initiate the reductive defluorination. Based on the product analysis, HF/2F elimination followed by C–C scission is the dominant degradation pathway of br-PFOS instead of stepwise H/F exchange. The primary products include F − and polyfluorinated sulfonates and carboxylates. The degradation of br-PFOS is strongly dependent on temperature due to a relatively high apparent activation energy of 62.86 kJ/mol. Strong alkaline condition can greatly enhance the decomposition efficiency since S 2− is the primary reactive form. This study provides new insights into the VB12-catalyzed defluorination of PFOS and a feasible approach for future natural or engineered remediations of br-PFOS.

6:2 chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (F-53B), a Chinese PFOS alternative, has recently been identified in river water, sewage sludge , wildlife and humans, causing great concerns about its potential toxic effects. Here, we report the first investigation of the toxicokinetics and oxidative stress of F-53B in adult zebrafish. Adult male and female zebrafish were exposed to 10 and 100 μg/L of F-53B for 7 days followed by a 5-d depuration period to examine bioaccumulation, distribution, and depuration of F-53B in fish. The results showed that F-53B was readily accumulated in fish tissues with log BCF values of 2.36–3.65, but was eliminated slowly ( t 1/2 = 152.4–358.5 h). F-53B accumulation was greater in males than in females and the concentration in tissues decreased in the following order: gonad ≈ liver ≫ gill ≫ brain in females and liver ≈ gill ≫ gonad ≫ brain in males, showing sex- and tissue- specific accumulation of F-53B in fish. After chronic exposure to F-53B for 28 days, a significant dose-dependent increase in histopathological changes in the liver were mainly manifested by vacuolation. Furthermore, F-53B also significantly reduced the enzyme activity (or content) of most of the measured oxidative stress-related markers (e.g., SOD, CAT and MDA) except for an increase in GSH-Px activity, indicating that oxidative stress was induced in zebrafish after treatment with F-53B. The results of this study provide important information on the toxicokinetics and toxic effects of F-53B, which will contribute to the ecological risk assessments of F-53B released into surface waters.

Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) is a persistent environmental pollutant. Exposure to PFOS has been associated with abnormal fetal development. The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been showed to play a role in fetal growth restriction (FGR), preeclampsia (PE) and other pregnancy complications. Whether the lncRNA contributes to PFOS-induced toxicity in the placenta remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the function of lncRNA MEG3 and its derived miR-770 in PFOS-induced placental toxicity. Pregnant mice received gavage administration of different concentrations of PFOS (0.5, 2.5, and 12.5 mg/kg/day) from GD0 to GD17, and HTR-8/SVneo cells were treated with PFOS in the concentrations of 0, 10 −1 , 1, 10 μM. We found that expression levels of miR-770 and its host gene MEG3 were reduced in mice placentas and HTR-8/SVneo cells with exposure of PFOS. A significant hypermethylation was observed at MEG3 promoter in placentas of mice gestational-treated with PFOS. We also confirmed that MEG3 and miR-770 overexpression alleviated the cell growth inhibition induced by PFOS. Furthermore, PTX3 (Pentraxin 3) was identified as the direct target of miR-770 and it was enhanced after PFOS exposure. In summary, our results suggested that MEG3 alleviate PFOS-induced placental cell inhibition through MEG3 /miR-770/ PTX3 axis.

The frequent detection of 6:2 chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (F-53B) in various environments has raised concerns owing to its comparable or even higher environmental persistence and toxicity than perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). This study investigated the plasma degradation of F-53B for the first time using a water film plasma discharge system. The results revealed that F-53B demonstrated a higher rate constant but similar defluorination compared to PFOS, which could be ascribed to the introduction of the chlorine atom . Successful elimination (94.8–100 %) was attained at F-53B initial concentrations between 0.5 and 10 mg/L, with energy yields varying from 15.1 to 84.5 mg/kWh. The mechanistic exploration suggested that the decomposition of F-53B mainly occurred at the gas-liquid interface, where it directly reacted with reactive species generated by gas discharge . F-53B degradation pathways involving dechlorination , desulfonation , carboxylation , C-O bond cleavage , and stepwise CF 2 elimination were proposed based on the identified byproducts and theoretical calculations. Furthermore, the demonstrated effectiveness in removing F-53B in various coexisting ions and water matrices highlighted the robust anti-interference ability of the treatment process. These findings provide mechanistic insights into the plasma degradation of F-53B, showcasing the potential of plasma processes for eliminating PFAS alternatives in water.

The increasing use of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) alternatives has led to their release into the aquatic environment. This study sought to determine the effects of exposure concentration on the toxicokinetics of PFOS and its alternatives, including perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS), perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS), chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (F-53B) and sodium p -perfluorous nonenoxybenzenesulfonate (OBS) in adult zebrafish by exposure to mixtures of the five per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at 1, 10, and 100 ng/mL for 28-day, followed by a 14-day depuration. PFAS predominantly accumulated in the blood and liver, and the bioconcentration factor (BCF) decreased in the order of F-53B > PFOS > OBS ≫ PFHxS > PFBS in whole-fish homogenates. The uptake rate constants and BCF of the short-chain PFAS (≤C6) positively correlated with increasing exposure concentration, while the long-chain PFAS (≥C8) exhibited a pattern of first increasing and then decreasing. A consistent increase in the elimination rate constants of short- and long-chain PFAS was observed with increasing exposure concentration. All PFAS form tight conformations with ZSA and ZL-FABP via hydrogen bonding as revealed by molecular docking analysis. Furthermore, chronic combined exposure to PFAS induced the occurrence of vacuolation and oxidative stress in the zebrafish liver. Our findings uniquely inform the concentration-dependent bioconcentration potential and health risks to aquatic organisms of these PFOS alternatives in the environment.

In this study, a simple, fast and cost-effective triple-channel optical assay for the determination of PFOS has been developed. The carbon quantum dots (CDs) were prepared by one-pot hydrothermal method and employed as probe for sensing PFOS. CDs react with PFOS to form ground-state complex, which brings about the intensity changes of three signals including fluorescence, UV–vis absorption and resonance light scattering (RLS). And the changes of the fluorescence and absorption signals can be used for the visual detection of PFOS. And there is a certain relationship between the three-signal changes with the concentration of PFOS, respectively. The proposed assay exhibits good selectivity and sensitivity with a limit of detection (LOD) of 18.27 nmol/L in the fluorescence signal. Fluorescence lifetime , transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and zeta potential were investigated for the mechanism study. Furthermore, this promising approach was also successfully applied to PFOS sensing in real water samples with RSD ≤ 2.09%.

Water bodies of numerous countries and regions in the world have been contaminated to various extents with the widespread production and usage of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). Both domestic and industrial wastewaters become one of the important sources for the PFAS contaminations in natural water bodies, due to the incomplete treatment. Usually, the artificial wastewaters are complex and have high concentrations of inorganic salts, which could result in the matrix effects during the process of analysis for PFASs, contributing to quantify the target compounds inaccurately. In order to monitor the concentrations of PFAS contaminants precisely, suitable extraction methods were compared focusing on the matrix effects and characters of green analytical chemistry during the detection of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) existing with several common inorganic salts in wastewaters. The results showed that the analytical values of PFOA and PFOS were 2.8–3.6 times and 3.0–5.2 times higher than the theoretical values, respectively. The liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and solid phase extraction (SPE) methods were used to reduce the matrix effects originated from inorganic salts, consequently the SPE method was confirmed as the optimal extraction method, based upon both the recoveries and green procedures. Combined with the application of the best parameters in real industrial wastewaters, indicating the present study would provide an accurate and green quantitative analysis of PFASs in salty wastewaters.

The widespread use of perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) has raised concerns regarding its potential on pregnant women, particularly in relation to the development of pre-eclampsia (PE). This study investigates the impact of PFOS exposure on the LncRNA/Rnd3 axis in pregnant mice and its association with trophoblast cell functions in PE. Bioinformatics analysis revealed PFOS-related gene alterations in PE, with pathways enriched in apoptotic signaling and cytokine interactions. Experimental findings showed the downregulation of Oip5os1 and Rnd3, along with the upregulation of miR-155, affecting trophoblast behavior. Animal experiments confirmed that PFOS-induced gene expression changes are linked to PE progression. PFOS exposure impairs trophoblast proliferation and migration via the Oip5os1/miR-155/Rnd3 axis, contributing to PE development.
