Project description:Small organisms can be used as biomonitoring tools to assess chemicals in the environment. Chemical stressors are especially hard to assess and monitor when present as complex mixtures. Here, Daphnia magna were exposed for 24 hours to five different munitions constituents 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT), trinitrobenzene (TNB), dinitrobenzene (DNB), or 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (RDX) as well as to 8 different munitions mixtures and ground water contaminated with munitions constituents. To better understand possible mixture effects, gene expression changes from all treatments were compared using high-density microarrays. While mixtures and ground water exposures had genes and gene functions in common with single chemical exposures, unique functions were also affected, which was consistent with the non-additivity of chemical effects in these mixtures. The study consisted of three different experiments: (1) exposure to a concentration corresponding to 70% of 1/10th of the LC50 value of six individual MCs (TNT, 2,4-DNT, 2,6-DNT, DNB, TNB, RDX) and a control; (2) exposure to eight different laboratory mixtures of the previously mentioned MCs. Different combinations of MCs including four mixtures (Mixtures 5, 6, 7 and 8) representative of field collected groundwater from LAAP (Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant) were created; and (3) exposure to MC-contaminated ground water field-collected from 3 different wells (85, 108, and 141) at the LAAP. All exposures were conducted for 24h.

Project description:Pesticides are continuously released into the environment, with possible long-term consequences on aquatic organisms. One of the pesticides still applied in several crops in some countries is the fungicide carbendazim, ending up in surface waters with concentrations reaching 5 µg/L. Daphnia magna (clone k6) was used in this study as a model organism and it was exposed to a sub-lethal concentration of carbendazim (5 µg/L) for twelve generations. Gene expression alterations induced by this compound were assessed in the F0 and F12 generations using D. magna custom microarrays. Results revealed that carbendazim caused changes at the gene expression level in both generations. Genes involved in response to stress, DNA replication/repair, neurotransmission, protein biosynthesis, ATP production, lipids and carbohydrates metabolism were the most affected in both F0 and F12, although a lower number of differentially expressed genes were observed in the F12 generation exposed to carbendazim. The exposure of daphnids to carbendazim did not cause a stable change in gene expression from F0 to F12 generations. Effects at the gene expression level were early detected at the F0 generation after a short-time exposure (10 days), highlighting the advantages of using high throughput tools as early warning analysis but also providing information on chemical mode of action, which can add value in risk assessment procedures. For the microarray experiment, neonates with less than 24h were picked from the F0 and F12 generations from both clean medium and carbendazim. Three replicates per each treatment were used and consisted of 5 daphnids aging 10 days old. A total of three replicates per treatment were used and each biological replicate was individually hybridized on the array. A single-color design was used, using the Agilent one-color RNA Spike-In Kit (AgilentTechnologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA), following the manufacturers protocol.

Project description:Silver nanoparticles cause toxicity in exposed organisms and are an environmental health concern. The mechanisms of silver nanoparticle toxicity, however, remain unclear. We examined the effects of exposure to silver in nano-, bulk- and ionic forms on zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio) using a Next Generation Sequencing approach in an Illumina platform (High-Throughput SuperSAGE). Significant alterations in gene expression were found for all treatments and many of the gene pathways affected, most notably those associated with oxidative phosphorylation and protein synthesis, overlapped strongly between the three treatments indicating similar mechanisms of toxicity for the three forms of silver studied. Changes in oxidative phosphorylation indicated a down-regulation of this pathway at 24h of exposure, but with a recovery at 48h. This finding was consistent with a dose-dependent decrease in oxygen consumption at 24h, but not at 48h, following exposure to silver ions. Overall, our data provide support for the hypothesis that the toxicity caused by silver nanoparticles is principally associated with bioavailable silver ions in exposed zebrafish embryos. These findings are important in the evaluation of the risk that silver particles may pose to exposed vertebrate organisms. mRNA profiles of whole zebrafish embryos at 24 and 48 hours post-fertilisation (hpf) exposed to silver in nano, bulk and ionic forms were generated by deep sequencing using HT-SuperSAGE (Illumina GA2).

Project description:Assessing the risks of long-term exposure to low doses of pharmaceuticals is an identified research need, particularly for those that may act as neural disruptors in non-vertebrate species. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) act by blocking the re-uptake of serotonin in the nerve synapses, increasing the effective concentration of serotonin in the intra-synaptic space and therefore stimulating serotoninergic neurons. This effect is used worldwide to treat clinical depression in humans, with the consequence of their widespread release into the environment. SSRIs have been found to alter the reproductive physiology of D. magna and other invertebrates in a biphasic way. Low levels of fluoxetine stimulated offspring production in Daphnia magna and Ceriodaphnia dubia at 36 and 50 µg/l, respectively, but higher exposure levels inhibited reproduction in the same species. In this study we explore the hypothesis that SSRI can affect D. magna juvenile developmental rates and offspring production disrupting serotonin activity that is known to regulate carbohydrate and oxidative metabolic pathways. The primary mode of action was tested using transcriptomic analyses of juveniles and adults exposed to SSRIs (fluoxetine 80 ppbs, fluovoxamine 30 ppbs) and serotonin-immunocytochemistry assays of D. magna brains. Reproduction, respirometry and biochemical measurements allowed to related gene and immunological base effects to phenotypic responses.

Project description:The use of integrated approaches in genetic toxicology, including the incorporation of gene expression data to determine the molecular pathways involved in the response, is becoming more common. In a companion paper, a genomic biomarker was developed in human TK6 cells to classify chemicals as genotoxic or non-genotoxic. Because TK6 cells are not metabolically competent, we set out to broaden the utility of the biomarker for use with chemicals requiring metabolic activation. Specifically, chemical exposures were conducted in the presence of rat liver S9. The ability of the biomarker to classify genotoxic (benzo[a]pyrene, BaP; aflatoxin B1, AFB1) and non-genotoxic (dexamethasone, DEX; phenobarbital, PB) agents correctly was evaluated. Cells were exposed to increasing chemical concentrations for 4h and collected 0h, 4h and 20h post-exposure. Relative survival, apoptosis, and micronucleus frequency were measured at 24h. Transcriptome profiles were measured with Agilent microarrays. Statistical modeling and bioinformatics tools were applied to classify each chemical using the genomic biomarker. BaP and AFB1 were correctly classified as genotoxic at the mid- and high concentrations at all three time points, whereas DEX was correctly classified as non-genotoxic at all concentrations and time points. The high concentration of PB was misclassified at 24h, suggesting that cytotoxicity at later time points may cause misclassification. The data suggest that the use of S9 does not impair the ability of the biomarker to classify genotoxicity in TK6 cells. Finally, we demonstrate that the biomarker is also able to accurately classify genotoxicity using a publicly available dataset derived from human HepaRG cells. This experiment examined the whole genome transcriptional response of TK6 cells exposed to BaP for 4 hours followed by a 0h and 20h recovery in fresh media (4h and 24h time points, respectively) at 3 different concentrations, including a low (0.45 μg/ml), a medium (1.4 μg/ml), and a high (10 μg/ml) concentration, in addition to negative vehicle controls (±S9) and a direct-acting positive control, cisplatin (-S9) at 24 μg/ml (PC-1). Each concentration and time point had 3 biological replicates. There were a total 23 samples (46 arrays) included in the final analysis using a two-colour dye swap design. Please note that each sample data table contains normalized data combined from two replicates and the sample-dye assignment information for each of the raw data files is included in the 'readme.txt' (available as Series supplementary file).

Project description:Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are being rapidly developed for use in consumer products, wastewater treatment and chemotherapy providing several possible routes for ZnO NP exposure to humans and aquatic organisms. Recent studies have shown that ZnO NPs undergo rapid dissolution to Zn+2, but the relative contribution of Zn+2 to ZnO NP bioavailability and toxicity is not clear. Gene expression profiling of D. magna exposed to ZnO NPs or ZnSO4 at equitoxic concentrations demonstrated that the particles cause toxicity through a distinct mechanism compared with Zn+2. D. magna were also exposed to a SiO NPs as a particle control at equimolar concentrations. The SiO NPs resulted in few differentially expressed genes and there was very little overlap between the genes affected by the ZnO NPs and the SiO NPs, suggesting that ZnO NPs cause a distinct pattern of differentially expressed genes. In the ZnO NP exposures, effects were observed to genes involved in cytoskeletal transport, cellular respiration and reproduction. Three biomarker genes including a multi-cystatin, ferritin and a C1q containing gene were confirmed as differentially expressed in a specific pattern by ZnO NP and provide a suite of biomarkers for identifying environmental exposure to ZnO NP and differentiating between NP and ionic exposure. We exposed Daphnia magna to the 1/10 LC50 and LC25 of ZnO nanoparticles and Zn++ as ZnSO4 for 24-h. For each exposure condition, we performed 3 exposures and 2 technical replicates (as dye swap) for each exposure (6 microarrays total). All exposures were compared to a unexposed laboratory control

Project description:Applications for silver nanomaterials in consumer products are rapidly expanding, creating an urgent need for toxicological examination of the exposure potential and ecological effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The integration of genomic techniques into environmental toxicology has presented new avenues to develop exposure biomarkers and investigate the mode of toxicity of novel chemicals. In the present study we used a 15k oligonucleotide microarray for Daphnia magna, a freshwater crustacean and common indicator species for toxicity, to differentiate between particle specific and ionic silver toxicity and to develop exposure biomarkers for citrate-coated and PVP-coated AgNPs. Gene expression profiles revealed that AgNO3 and AgNPs have distinct expression profiles suggesting different modes of toxicity. However, the gene expression profiles of the different coated AgNPs were similar revealing similarities in the cellular effects of these two particles. Major biological processes disrupted by the AgNPs include protein metabolism and signal transduction. In contrast, AgNO3 caused a downregulation of developmental processes, particularly in sensory development. Metal responsive and DNA damage repair genes were induced by the PVP AgNPs, but not the other treatments. In addition, two specific biomarkers were developed for the environmental detection of PVP AgNPs; although further verification under different environmental conditions is needed. We exposed Daphnia magna to the 1/10 LC50 and LC25 of citrate coated and PVP-coated Ag nanoparticles and Ag+ as AgNO3 for 24-h. For each exposure condition, we performed 6 replicate exposures with 5 individuals in each. All exposures were compared to a unexposed laboratory control.
