The tire antioxidant derivative 6PPD-quinone exacerbates IBD by targeting NR1H4-mediated lipid metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction in human colon epithelial cells

N- (1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine quinone (6PPD-Q), a tire rubber antioxidant derivative, accumulates in air, soil, and water and has been found in urine, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid, posing significant health risks. Although 6PPD-Q exhibits intestinal toxicity, its role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unclear. The objective of this study was to identify key molecular targets of 6PPD-Q in IBD and to validate their involvement in 6PPD-Q-induced intestinal epithelial cell injury. U…

Current reading — gain

Multi-model machine learning screening of 6PPD-Q-IBD targets identified 60 overlapping targets and prioritized six core genes with NR1H4 as a key mediator of intestinal epithelial injury.

Current reading — problem

Machine learning-informed toxicology analysis indicates 6PPD-quinone exposure increases IBD risk in human colon epithelial cells by downregulating NR1H4, causing lipid and cholesterol accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and elevated IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-8.

What this doesn’t fix

Findings are limited to computational screening and in vitro human intestinal epithelial cell experiments without in vivo or clinical IBD patient validation.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0998 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
