Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and multi-layer graphenes (MLGs) are widely used, and due to the lack of appropriate wastewater treatment may end up in the aquatic environment, with unknown consequences to biota. The main purpose of this study was to assess the acute toxicity, histopathological and behavioural changes caused by the exposure of ZnO NPs and MLGs, alone and combined, to the blackfish Capoeta fusca. The estimated mean 96 h-LC50 for ZnO NPs was 4.9 mg L-1 and 68.4 mg L-1 for MLGs. In combination, MLGs increased the acute toxicity of the ZnO NPs. The effects of the different NPs on the gills included hyperplasia, aneurisms, and fusion of the lamellae. In the intestine, exposure to the NPs resulted in an increase in the number and swelling of goblet cells and tissue degeneration. Loss of balance, restlessness, erratic and abnormal swimming patterns were the most common behavioural changes seen in the ZnO NPs' exposed blackfish. In contrast with the acute toxicity findings, MLGs decreased the histopathological and behavioural effects of the ZnO NPs on both gills and intestinal tissues as well as fish behaviour. Our experimental results illustrated insights into the simultaneous exposure assessment of metal-based NPs and carbon nanomaterials, although further research is needed on the interactions exposure of these substances to interpreting the toxicological effects of metal-based nanomaterials seen in exposed organisms.

Abstract
This study aimed to further investigate the toxic mechanism of chiral polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) 91 in adult zebrafish ( Danio rerio) exposed to racemic (rac-), (+)-, or (-)-PCB91 for 63 days. The enantioselective mortalities of adult zebrafish exposed to rac-/(+)-/(-)-PCB91 were 95.86, 50.08, and 81.50%, respectively. Tubular necrosis and cellular hypertrophy occurred in the kidneys of (-)-PCB91-treated groups, whereas demyelination and immune cell infiltration occurred in brains of the rac-, (+)-, and (-)-PCB91-treated groups. Additionally, exposure to chiral PCB91 enantioselectively induced neurotoxicity, apoptosis, and inflammation in brain tissues owing to perturbations of gene expression, protein content and sphingolipid levels. The high mortality after rac-/(+)-PCB91 exposure might be due to toxic effects on brain tissue, while the high mortality after (-)-PCB91 exposure might be due to toxic effects on kidney as well as brain tissues. Thus, our findings offer an important reference for elucidating the enantioselective toxicological mechanism of chiral PCBs in aquatic organisms.

Costa LC, Mohmood I, Trindade T, Saleem M, Duarte AC, Pereira E, Ahmad I. Rescheduling the process of nanoparticle removal used for water mercury remediation can increase the risk to aquatic organism: evidence of innate immune functions modulation in European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.). ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 22:18574-18589. [PMID: 26396010 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-015-5375-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2014] [Accepted: 09/06/2015] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to assess the mechanisms of innate immune function responses to silica-coated iron oxide nanoparticle functionalized with dithiocarbamate groups (IONP) exposure alone and its associated mercury (Hg) in European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) phagocytes isolated from peritoneum (P-phagocytes), gill (G-phagocytes), head kidney (HK-phagocytes) and spleen (S-phagocytes). The study evaluated viability, phagocytosis, oxidative burst activity (OBA) and lipid peroxidation (LPO). Four groups were made: (1) 2 × 10(6) phagocytes + RPMI-1640 (control), (2) 2 × 10(6) phagocytes + IONP (2.5 mg L(-1)), (3) 2 × 10(6) phagocytes + Hg (50 μg L(-1)) and (4) 2 × 10(6) phagocytes + IONP + Hg. Samplings were performed at 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 48 and 72 h of exposure. A. anguilla P-, G-, HK- and S-phagocytes in vitro exposure to IONP alone revealed either increased (except HK-phagocytes at 16 h) or no change in viability, suggesting that the cells are metabolically active and resistant to IONP exposure alone. In terms of phagocytes overactivation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production as an indirect mechanism of immunotoxicity, the phagocytes responded in the following manner: P- > S- > HK- = G-phagocytes for IONP exposure alone, S- > HK- > P- = G-phagocytes for Hg exposure alone and HK- > G- = S- > P-phagocytes for concomitant exposure. Overall, considering Hg as a surrogate for metals and its association with IONP, as well as the likelihood that it could pose a serious threat to aquatic organisms by modulating their immune defense mechanisms if accidentally discharged into the aquatic environment, current results suggest that the step of IONP-metal complex removal must not be underrated and should be processed without any more ado.
