Salinity-dependent mitigation of naphthalene toxicity in migratory Takifugu obscurus juveniles: Implications for survival, oxidative stress, and osmoregulation. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 896:165248. [PMID: 37394067 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.165248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 06/03/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023]
Abstract
Naphthalene, an environmental pollutant classified as a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), can induce toxicity in fish and other aquatic organisms. Through our investigation, we determined how Takifugu obscurus juveniles were affected by naphthalene (0, 2 mg L-1) exposure in terms of oxidative stress biomarkers and Na+/K+-ATPase activity in various tissues (gill, liver, kidney and muscle) under dissimilar salinities (0, 10 psu). Results suggest that naphthalene exposure significantly affects the survival of T. obscurus juveniles and leads to significant changes in the levels of malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione, and Na+/K+-ATPase activity, which are indicative of oxidative stress and emphasized the risks associated with osmoregulatory function. The higher salinity affected on the noxious effects of naphthalene can be observed, resulting in decreased biomarker levels and increased Na+/K+-ATPase activity. Salinity levels affected the uptake of naphthalene and its impact on different tissues, with high salinity conditions having mitigating effects on oxidative stress and naphthalene uptake in the liver and kidney tissues. Increased Na+/K+-ATPase activity was observed in all tissues treated with 10 psu and 2 mg L-1 naphthalene. Our findings deepen the understanding of T. obscurus juveniles' physiological responses to naphthalene exposure, and highlight the potential mitigating effects of salinity. These insights can inform the development of appropriate conservation and management practices to protect aquatic organisms from susceptibility.

Abstract
Naphthalene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, is generated by various distillation, petroleum, and coal-tar production units and is used worldwide as mothballs, soil fumigants, and toilet deodorants. Considering the susceptibility of aquatic animals to different types of stressors in several water bodies, this study was carried out to evaluate the impact of naphthalene on the architecture of gill tissue including response of various enzymes like cholinesterase (ChE) activity, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, and lipid peroxidation (LPX) level of the freshwater fish Anabas testudineus. Activities of antioxidants like catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione (GSH) were also evaluated. Constant loss of gill structure and secondary lamellar fusion was observed in fishes exposed to various concentrations of naphthalene. ChE, LDH, LPx, CAT, Gpx and GSH activities indicated significant variation (p < 0.05) between the control and experimental groups. ChE activity was lowered in experimental fishes; however, LDH activity, LPx levels, and CAT activity were elevated in response to various concentrations of naphthalene as compared to control group. Both GPx and GSH activities decreased in the gill tissue of the experimental fishes. Thus, a conclusion was drawn that naphthalene is a potent toxicant capable of inflicting tissue damage leading to physiological changes in the exposed fishes.

Assessment of seasonal relationship between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon accumulation and expression patterns of oxidative stress-related genes in muscle tissues of red mullet (M. barbatus) from the Northern Adriatic Sea. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 2021; 88:103752.

Abstract
In this study, we examined the seasonal association between Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations and mRNA expression profiles of some antioxidant genes (i.e. CAT, GST and SOD), as well as lipid peroxidation (LPO), in muscle of sexually inactive females of red mullet (Mullus barbatus). Fish were captured in a fishery area of the Northern Adriatic Sea during both winter and summer. We found significantly (p < 0.05) higher ∑HMW-PAHs concentrations in muscle of specimens caught during winter than summer. On the basis of sampling season, red mullets exhibited different gene expression profiles of antioxidant enzymes showing lower levels of both CAT and GST in winter than in summer. Accordingly, CAT was found to be negatively associated with ∑PAH concentrations, especially ∑LMW-PAH, in individuals collected during winter. Seasonal-related downregulation of some oxidative stress biomarker expression is suggestive of greater susceptibility of red mullets to PAHs during winter.

Abstract
Polyaromatic hydrocarbons are highly stable and can easily permeate through biological membranes due to their lipophilic nature. They are characterized by their ability to act at the site of application and even at sites distant to the zone of application. Any contamination associated with aquatic bodies due to the presence of PAHs can be assessed by investigating biochemical changes. The most common polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollutant naphthalene was selected for the bioassay experiment using Indian climbing perch Anabas testudineus. The biochemical response in the muscle tissue was investigated after exposure to varying concentrations of naphthalene by estimating protein, glycogen, Alanine Aminotransaminase, and Aspartate Aminotransaminase. The results showed inhibition of protein and glycogen levels due to naphthalene stress. Similarly, a decrease in the activity of transaminase in muscle tissues was noticed. The results have been computed using star plots for interpretation of integrated biomarker response (IBR). The results clearly support the role of biochemical parameters in assessing the impact of naphthalene stress on fish health. IBR index can be developed as a useful tool in monitoring quantitative as well as the qualitative effect of naphthalene toxicity in fishes and other aquatic animals.

Abstract
Several commercial test kits such as Microtox, LUMIStox, ToxAlert, Aboatox, and ToxScreen have been widely used for toxicity screening. Though this time saving assays offer excellent sensitivity, cost-effectiveness, and accuracy, these commercial assays are limited in terms of real-time monitoring in Indian coastal environment due to warmer temperatures. This necessitates the need to develop a rapid and accurate assay that can be effectively employed for real time monitoring with respect to heavy metals in the Indian coastal waters. With this objective, the present study was conducted by isolating an indigenous luminescent bacterium from the light organs of chordates Gazza minuta which showed higher luminescence in a wide range of temperatures. The isolate could grow well in the temperature of 30 ± 2 °C and withstand temperature up to 35 ± 2 °C. The isolated bacterium was identified as Photobacterium leiognathi GoMGm1 based on 16S rDNA and luxA gene sequences. The suitable growing medium was optimized using central composite rotational design (CCRD) method to obtain optimal growth and luminescence. The optimized medium exemplified the maximal growth and luminescence of P. leiognathi at OD600 nm of 5.78 ± 0.12 and RLU of 12.49 ± 0.43. The isolate was used to assess the toxicity of several heavy metals. The IC50 values of 0.0051, 1.13, 1.37, 3.1, and 6.68 mg L-1 were observed for the Hg, Cr, Cu, Ni, and Zn, respectively, after 15 min of exposure. Results obtained from principal component analysis (PCA) displayed the present assay's compatibility with other luminescent bacterial assay and commercial Microtox™ assay. Thus, it would the right candidate as an early detection system for heavy metals in aquatic bodies in tropical countries. Schematic representation of the present study.

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the biological responses of Colossoma
macropomum to naphthalene injection and subsequent hypoxia
exposure, emphasizing the expression of the tumor suppressor gene
tp53. Tambaquis were intraperitoneally injected with
naphthalene (50 mg/kg) and, after 96 hours, the fish were transferred to
respirometry chambers and, submitted to progressive hypoxia for the
determination of critical PO2. In a subsequent experiment, the fish
received an intraperitoneal injection of naphthalene and were kept for 96 hours
under normoxia. Successively, fish were challenged with acute hypoxia
(PO2<PO2 crit) during 6 hours. We observed that the
PO2 crit was not affected by naphthalene injection. Moreover,
hematological parameters were modulated only in response to hypoxia. Fish with
naphthalene injection plus hypoxia exposure presented altered activity of the
GST and CAT enzymes. Exposure to naphthalene also resulted in DNA damages, which
was not influenced by hypoxia. Hypoxia accentuated the hepatic lesions caused by
naphthalene, as well as it also impaired the transcription of
tp53 in naphtalene injected fish, demonstrating the risks
of contaminating aquatic environments, especially environments where hypoxic
conditions are common and occur on a daily or on seasonal basis, as in the
Amazon basin.

Abstract
The comet assay has become one of the methods of choice for the evaluation and measurement of DNA damage. It is sensitive, quick to perform and relatively affordable for the evaluation of DNA damage and repair at the level of individual cells. The comet assay can be applied to virtually any cell type derived from different organs and tissues. Even though the comet assay is predominantly used on human cells, the application of the assay for the evaluation of DNA damage in yeast, plant and animal cells is also quite high, especially in terms of biomonitoring. The present extensive overview on the usage of the comet assay in animal models will cover both terrestrial and water environments. The first part of the review was focused on studies describing the comet assay applied in invertebrates. The second part of the review, (Part 2) will discuss the application of the comet assay in vertebrates covering cyclostomata, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, in addition to chordates that are regarded as a transitional form towards vertebrates. Besides numerous vertebrate species, the assay is also performed on a range of cells, which includes blood, liver, kidney, brain, gill, bone marrow and sperm cells. These cells are readily used for the evaluation of a wide spectrum of genotoxic agents both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, the use of vertebrate models and their role in environmental biomonitoring will also be discussed as well as the comparison of the use of the comet assay in vertebrate and human models in line with ethical principles. Although the comet assay in vertebrates is most commonly used in laboratory animals such as mice, rats and lately zebrafish, this paper will only briefly review its use regarding laboratory animal models and rather give special emphasis to the increasing usage of the assay in domestic and wildlife animals as well as in various ecotoxicological studies.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants in aquatic ecosystems, which may have potentially toxic effects on organisms. In this study occurrence of DNA strand breaks, oxidative stress, and cytotoxicity were investigated in rainbow trout hepatocytes following in vitro exposure for 24 h to four PAHs (0.01-10 µM): naphthalene, fluoranthene, pyrene, and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). The exposed hepatocytes were analyzed for DNA strand breaks using the comet assay and for antioxidant status by measuring intracellular glutathione (GSH) content using the fluorescent probe mBCl. The cytotoxicity of PAHs was assessed using the fluorescent probe CFDA-AM. The results showed that fluoranthene, pyrene, and B[a]P were genotoxic at all exposure concentrations, whereas naphthalene was genotoxic at concentrations ≥0.1 µM. All treatments reduced the intracellular concentrations of GSH for all four PAHs, except 10 µM of B[a]P, suggesting that some level of oxidative stress was present. The cytotoxic effect was observed for naphthalene at concentrations ≥0.1 µM and pyrene at all exposure concentrations, whereas fluoranthene and B[a]P were not cytotoxic at the tested concentrations. The study shows that low-molecular-weight PAHs may cause DNA strand breaks as high-molecular-weight PAHs do in fish tissue. In addition, two- to five-ring PAHs can induce oxidative stress and cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Naphthalene has been used worldwide as a commercial insecticide for decades, which when detected in the environment can have various negative effects on non-target organism, such as hepatotoxicity. However, the molecular mechanisms of how naphthalene acts to affect the liver in zebrafish (Danio rerio) remains unknown. In this study, we evaluated the potential toxic effects of naphthalene on livers in female adult zebrafish over a 21-day subacute exposure. Global hepatic gene expression was examined by microarrays and the results indicated the regulated genes were associated significantly with vital hepatic injury pathways and GO categories upon naphthalene exposure, such as disruptions in lipid metabolism, inflammatory response, and the carcinogenic processes. According to our observations of liver histology, nuclear enlargement as a potential indicator of cancers and hepatic lipometabolic disorder precisely were supported. The 96 h acute naphthalene tests on Tg(lysC:DsRed) and LiPan lines larvae revealed recruitment of neutrophils by the liver, as well as decreased liver size, which further confirmed hepatic inflammation response to naphthalene exposure. Thus, these findings advance the field of ecotoxicology by unveiling a new role of naphthalene as a leading cause of liver damage and provide potential biomarker-genes for environmental naphthalene monitoring.

Abstract
Milkfish (Chanos chanos), which is resistant to water quality changes is the fourth largest aquaculture commodity. Abandoned wastes of fish scale and bones aggravate environmental pollution. In this study, the effect of collagen peptides isolated from milkfish scales (MSCP) by pepsin-soluble collagen method on cell viability was investigated. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and DNA-protective activities of MSCP were also evaluated. Results revealed that more than 95% of viable cells were retained in human keratinocytes after addition of 100 mg/mL MSCP. Measurement of DPPH· and ABTS· + radical scavenging activities and cellular reactive oxygen species revealed the high antioxidant activities of MSCP. MSCP demonstrated anti-inflammatory activities by reducing lipoxygenase activity and nitric oxide (NO·) radicals. Moreover, DNA electrophoresis assay indicated that MSCP treatment can directly protect against cyclobutane di-pyrimidine production and DNA single-strand breaks, which are harmful effects of UV radiation and H2O2. Given its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and DNA-protective activities, MSCP has potential applications in cosmeceuticals and supplementary health food.

Abstract
Since Singh and colleagues, in 1988, launched to the scientific community the alkaline Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis (SCGE) protocol, or Comet Assay, its uses and applications has been increasing. The thematic areas of its current employment in the evaluation of genetic toxicity are vast, either in vitro or in vivo, both in the laboratory and in the environment, terrestrial or aquatic. It has been applied to a wide range of experimental models: bacteria, fungi, cells culture, arthropods, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and humans. This document is intended to be a comprehensive review of what has been published to date on the field of ecotoxicology, aiming at the following main aspects: (i) to show the most relevant experimental models used as bioindicators both in the laboratory and in the field. Fishes are clearly the most adopted group, reflecting their popularity as bioindicator models, as well as a primary concern over the aquatic environment health. Amphibians are among the most sensitive organisms to environmental changes, mainly due to an early aquatic-dependent development stage and a highly permeable skin. Moreover, in the terrestrial approach, earthworms, plants or mammalians are excellent organisms to be used as experimental models for genotoxic evaluation of pollutants, complex mix of pollutants and chemicals, in both laboratory and natural environment. (ii) To review the development and modifications of the protocols used and the cell types (or tissues) used. The most recent developments concern the adoption of the enzyme linked assay (digestion with lesion-specific repair endonucleases) and prediction of the ability to repair of oxidative DNA damage, which is becoming a widespread approach, albeit challenging. For practical/technical reasons, blood is the most common choice but tissues/cells like gills, sperm cells, early larval stages, coelomocytes, liver or kidney have been also used. (iii) To highlight correlations with other biomarkers. (iv) To build a constructive criticism and summarize the needs for protocol improvements for future test applications within the field of ecotoxicology. The Comet Assay is still developing and its potential is yet underexploited in experimental models, mesocosmos or natural ecosystems.
