[PMID: 39287768 DOI: 10.1007/s12011-024-04381-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2024] [Accepted: 09/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024]
Abstract
Fluorosis is a worldwide public health problem, in which the heart is an important target organ. However, studies on its toxicological mechanism in embryonic development are limited. This study assessed the toxicity of sodium fluoride (NaF) toward zebrafish embryos. We determined the mortality, hatching rate, phenotypic malformation, heart function, and morphology of zebrafish embryos after exposure to NaF. Subsequently, the molecular mechanism was revealed using high-throughput RNA sequencing analysis. The expression levels of key genes for heart development were detected using quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR. The 50% lethal concentration (LC50) value of NaF toward zebrafish embryos at 96 h post-fertilization was 335.75 mg/L. When the concentration of NaF was higher than 200 mg/L, severe deformities, such as pericardial edema, yolk sac edema, spine curvature, shortened body length, reduced head area, and eye area, were observed. The heart rate of the embryos exposed to NaF decreased in a dose-dependent fashion. The distance between the sinus venosus and bulbus arteriosus was significantly increased in the NaF-exposed group compared with that in the control group. The stroke volume and cardiac output decreased significantly in the NaF groups. Compared with the control group, the expression levels of Gata4, Tbx5a, Hand2, Tnnt2c, Nppa, and Myh6 were significantly increased in the NaF-treated group. Through transcriptome sequencing, 1354 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected in the NaF (200 mg/L) treated groups, including 1253 upregulated genes and 101 downregulated genes. Gene ontology functional analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses of the DEGs showed that cardiac-related pathways, such as actin cytoskeleton regulation, Jak-Stat, PI3k-Akt, and Ras, were activated in the NaF-exposed group. This study revealed the underlying mechanism of fluoride-induced cardiac morphological and functional abnormalities and provides clues for the clinical prevention and treatment of fluorosis.

AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2023; 262:106665. [PMID: 37611455 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2023.106665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023]
Abstract
Herein, we demonstrated that sublethal-dose exposure to triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC) triggered larval zebrafish immunotoxicity. Acute exposure to TCS induced significant increases in larval neutrophils and macrophages and a prominent decrease in thymic T cells. In contrast, three kinds of cells (neutrophils, macrophages, and thymic T cells) were significantly reduced under TCC exposure, suggesting that both TCS and TCC suppress thymus development and mature T-cell differentiation. TCC was confirmed to have more severe immunotoxicity than TCS. Using Illumina RNA-Seq, 581 and 738 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the TCS and TCC treatments, respectively. GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses revealed that the DEGs were not identical in terms of biological processes, cellular components and molecular functions, but were primarily involved in immune response. KEGG analysis showed that approximately 47% and 11% of DEGs were mainly enriched in the immune system of the TCC and TCS treatments, respectively. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis confirmed that the hub genes enriched in the immune-related pathways differed between TCS and TCC exposure. The hub genes were fynb, mapk12b, scarb1, pik3r2, prkg3, srfa, arhgef2, cldn15la, and cldn15lb in the TCS treatment, and plg, serping1, masp2, fgg, vtnb, mmp9, serpine1, il1b, sb:cb37 and stat3 in the TCC treatment. Molecular docking simulation demonstrated that both TCS and TCC were stably docked with their target hub genes, and that their target molecules for inducing immunotoxicity were different. The differential target molecules and action pathways induced by TCS and TCC exposure provide us with diagnostic targets and toxicological endpoints.

Developmental toxicity and transcriptome analysis of equine estrogens in developing medaka (Oryzias latipes) using nanosecond pulsed electric field incorporation. Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2023; 266:109547.

Abstract
Equine estrogens (EQs) are steroidal hormones isolated from the urine of pregnant mares and are used in the formulation of human medications. This study initially investigated the embryonic developmental toxicity of equilin (Eq) and equilenin (Eqn) in medaka (Oryzias latipes). Malformations were observed in embryos exposed to nominal concentrations of 1 and 10 mg/L of Eq and Eqn. Delayed hatching was observed at 1 mg/L of Eq. To further investigate the molecular mechanism of developmental toxicity caused by Eq and Eqn, transcriptome and bioinformatics analyses were performed. Among 2016 and 3855 total differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 1117 DEGs overlapped between Eq. (55.4 % of total DEGs) and Eq. (29.0 % of total DEGs). Gene ontology indicated effects in terms related to blood circulation and cell junctions. Pathway analyses using DEGs revealed that both Eq and Eqn treatments at 10 mg/L affected various KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathways, such as neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling, retinol metabolism, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. These results suggest that the disruption of these KEGG pathways is involved in the developmental toxicity of EQs in medaka embryos.

J Environ Sci (China) 2023; 125:650-661.

Abstract
The wide use of pesticides has seriously threatened human health and the survival of beneficial organisms. The fungicide mepanipyrim is widely used in viticulture practices. Studies of mepanipyrim-induced toxicity in organisms are still scarce, especially studies on cardiotoxicity. In this study, we aimed to investigate mepanipyrim-induced cardiotoxicity in zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae. We found that mepanipyrim could induce cardiotoxicity by altering the heart rate and cardiomyocyte diameter of larvae. Meanwhile, RNA sequencing and RT-qPCR data indicated that mepanipyrim exposure could dramatically alter the mRNA expression of calcium signaling pathway-, cardiac muscle contraction-, and oxidative respiratory chain-related genes. Interestingly, by the CALUX cell bioassay, we found that most cytochrome c oxidase (COX) family genes exhibited potential AhR-regulated activity, suggesting that mepanipyrim induced cardiotoxicity via a novel AhR-regulated manner in larvae. Additionally, the AhR antagonist CH223191 could effectively prevent mepanipyrim-induced cardiotoxicity in zebrafish larvae. In conclusion, the AhR agonist mepanipyrim could induce cardiotoxicity in a novel unreported AhR-regulated manner, which could specifically affect the expression of COX family genes involved in the mitochondrial oxidative respiratory chain. Our data will help explain the toxic effects of mepanipyrim on organisms and provide new insight into the AhR agonistic activity pesticide-induced cardiotoxicity.

Acute exposure of triclocarban affects early embryo development in mouse through disrupting maternal-to-zygotic transition and epigenetic modifications. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 252:114572. [PMID: 36706524 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.114572] [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: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Triclocarban (TCC) is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent used globally, and high concentrations of this harmful chemical exist in the environment. The human body is directly exposed to TCC through skin contact. Moreover, TCC is also absorbed through diet and inhaled through breathing, which results in its accumulation in the body. The safety profile of TCC and its potential impact on human health are still not completely clear; therefore, it becomes imperative to evaluate the reproductive toxicity of TCC. Here, we explored the effect of TCC on the early embryonic development of mice and its associated mechanisms. We found that acute exposure of TCC affected the early embryonic development of mice in a dose-dependent manner. Approximately 7600 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained by sequencing the transcriptome of 2-cell mouse embryos; of these, 3157 genes were upregulated and 4443 genes were downregulated in the TCC-treated embryos. GO and KEGG analysis revealed that the enriched genes were mainly involved in redox processes, RNA synthesis, DNA damage, apoptosis, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, cytoskeleton, peroxisome, RNA polymerase, and other components or processes. Moreover, the Venn analysis showed that the zygotic genome activation (ZGA) was affected and the degradation of maternal effector genes was inhibited. TCC induced changes in the epigenetic modification of 2-cell embryos. The level of DNA methylation increased significantly. Further, the levels of H3K27ac, H3K9ac, and H3K27me3 histone modifications decreased significantly, whereas those of H3K4me3 and H3K9me3 modifications increased significantly. Additionally, TCC induced oxidative stress and DNA damage in the 2-cell embryos. In conclusion, acute exposure of TCC affected early embryo development, destroyed early embryo gene expression, interfered with ZGA and maternal gene degradation, induced changes in epigenetic modification of early embryos, and led to oxidative stress and DNA damage in mouse early embryos.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 226:112798. [PMID: 34592528 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.112798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2021] [Revised: 09/12/2021] [Accepted: 09/15/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Mancozeb (MZ), an antibacterial pesticide, has been linked to reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, and endocrine disruption. However, whether MZ has cardiactoxicity is unclear. In this study, the cardiotoxic effects of exposure to environment-related MZ concentrations ranging from 1.88 μM to 7.52 μM were evaluated at the larval stage of zebrafish. Transcriptome sequencing predicted the mechanism of MZ-induced cardiac developmental toxicity in zebrafish by enrichment analysis of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO). Consistent with morphological changes, the osm, pfkfb3, foxh1, stc1, and nrarpb genes may effect normal development of zebrafish heart by activating NOTCH signaling pathways, resulting in pericardial edema, myocardial fibrosis, and congestion in the heart area. Moreover, differential gene expression analysis indicated that cyp-related genes (cyp1c2 and cyp3c3) were significantly upregulated after MZ treatment, which may be related to apoptosis of myocardial cells. These results were verified by real-time quantitative RT-qPCR and acridine orange staining. Our findings suggest that MZ-mediated cardiotoxic development of zebrafish larvae may be related to the activation of Notch and apoptosis-related signaling pathways.
