MRNA-Seq of Danio rerio exposed to different concentrations of the fungicide difenoconazole against untreated control groups

ABSTRACT: In the present study transcriptome analysis was employed to investigate the early molecular responses to exposure to the fungicide difenoconazole, a sterol biosynthesis inhibitor according to Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) classification. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to difenoconazole according to OECD guidelines (OECD test No. 236). At the end of exposure time (96 hours), simultaneous RNA and protein extraction from 10 embryos was performed using a Macherey & Nagel RNA/protein extraction kit. The obtained RNA extracts were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 4000 System and the obtained sequences went through bioinformatic analysis pipeline to Identify and count the detected gene sequences followed by differential gene expression analysis. Finally, potential substance specific biomarker candidates were refined and selected based on the differential expression patterns and the biological functions investigation of the detected DEGs.

Project description:The aim of this mRNA expression profiling experiment was to screen for ecotoxicogenomic fingerprints in juvenile daphnids (daphnia magna) as aquatic vertebrate non-target model exposed to sub lethal concentrations of Fipronil. Fipronil is a widely used insecticide applied for crop protection against field pests and Ectoparasites. The Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) classified Fipronil after its mode of action (MoA) in the target organism as a GABA-gated chloride channel blocker (Group 2). The goal is to identify toxicogenomic profiles with predictive character and identify potential molecular key events (KE) explaining upstream adverse effects. This will provide useful information to refine and improve existing adverse outcome pathways (AOP). Furthermore, integrating the obtained profiles for this and other tested chemicals in a collective database will enable us in the future to derive predictions about the ecotoxicological hazard for chemcials with unknown apical effects, based on similarly altered transcriptomic and proteomic profiles. In a modified version of the acute immobilisation test (OECD 202), 50 juvenile Daphnids were exposed to two sub lethal concentrations of Fipronil for 48 hours under static conditions. Each test comprised of a low exposure (LE), high exposure (HE) and a negative control (NC) group and was performed in triplicates. At 48 hours after introducing the daphnids into the test solutions, RNA and protein was extracted from living daphnids with NucleoSpin RNA/Protein kit (Macherey-Nagel). RNA quality was assessed with a 2100 Bioanalyzer system (Agilent) before messenger RNA was purified (PolyA selection with TruSeq RNA Library Prep Kit v2) and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 4000 System (Illumina) in 50 bp single read mode, producing roughly 30 million reads per sample. Adapter sequences were removed with trimmomatic and sequences were aligned to the D. magna reference genome (daphmag2.4) using STAR. Counting of feature mapped reads was performed through featureCounts. Library gene count tables were then merged to a single count matrix as input for count normalization and differential gene expression analysis with DESeq2.

Imidacloprid is is a popular insecticide widely applied in agriculture and by veterinarians against ectoparasites.The Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) classified Imidacloprid after its mode of Action (MoA) in the target organism as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) competitive modulator (Group 4). The goal is to identify toxicogenomic profiles with predictive character and identify potential molecular key events (KE) explaining upstream adverse effects. This will provide useful information to refine and improve existing adverse outcome pathways (AOP).

Project description:Endocrine disruption (ED) can trigger far-reaching effects on environmental populations, justifying a refusal of market approval for chemicals with ED properties. For the assessment of ED effects on development and reproduction, regulatory decisions mostly rely on apical endpoints from in vivo testing with adult animals. Here, we present a rapid and reproducible mRNA expression profiling experiment for identifying comprehensive molecular fingerprints interfering with the sexual endocrine system in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos as an alternative to animal testing. For this, we have analysed tamoxifen as model substances for anti-estrogenic perturbation in a modified zebrafish embryo toxicity test (zFET). These signatures allow for the identification of gene expression changes and the definition of solid biomarkers as tools in screening approaches and for integration in chronic toxicity studies for identifying suspect ED substances, in the fish early life-stage test (OECD TG 210). In a modified version of the zebrafish embryo toxicity test (OECD 236), 15 fertilized eggs were exposed to two different sub lethal concentrations of tamoxifen for 96 hours under semi-static conditions. Each test comprised of a low exposure (LE, 50 µg/L) and high exposure (HE, 500 µg/L) and negative control (NC) group and was performed in triplicates. At 96 hours post fertilization (hpf), 10 larvae were randomly picked for each sample and pooled for RNA and protein extraction with NucleoSpin RNA/Protein kit (Macherey-Nagel). RNA quality was assessed with a 2100 Bioanalyzer system (Agilent) before coding RNA was purified (PolyA selection with TruSeq RNA Library Prep Kit v2) and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 4000 System (Illumina) in 50 bp single read mode, producing roughly 30 million reads per sample. Adapter sequences were removed with trimmomatic and sequences were aligned to the D.rerio reference genome GRCz11 with STAR. Counting of feature mapped reads was performed through featureCounts. Library gene count tables were then merged to a single count matrix as input for differential gene expression analysis with DESeq2.

Here, we present a rapid and reproducible mRNA expression profiling experiment for identifying comprehensive molecular fingerprints interfering with the sexual endocrine system in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos as an alternative to animal testing. For this, we have analysed methyltestosterone as model substances for androgenic perturbation in a modified zebrafish embryo toxicity test (zFET). These signatures allow for the identification of gene expression changes and the definition of solid biomarkers as tools in screening approaches and for integration in chronic toxicity studies for identifying suspect ED substances, in the fish early life-stage test (OECD TG 210). In a modified version of the zebrafish embryo toxicity test (OECD 236), 15 fertilized eggs were exposed to two different sub lethal concentrations of methyltestosterone for 96 hours under semi-static conditions. Each test comprised of a low exposure (LE, 1600 µg/L) and high exposure (HE, 3200 µg/L) and negative control (NC) group and was performed in triplicates.
