Transcriptomic alterations of thallium-exposed zebrafish embryos

ABSTRACT: Thallium (Tl) is a trace metal element used in the electronics, semiconductor and electro-optical industries. With the development of high-tech industries, thallium severely pollutes the aquatic environment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cardiotoxicity and developmental toxicity of Tl by using vertebrate model zebrafish embryos. RNA-seq was performed on wild type zebrafish embryos exposed to 0, 200, and 800 ppb Tl from 6 to 48 hpf. The transcriptomic profile revealed molecular understanding regarding the cardiovascular and developmental toxicity of Tl, providing valuable information for risk assessment of the emerging contaminant thallium.

Time-dependent toxic effects of dietary TCDD on juvenile zebrafish

Project description:Juvenile zebrafish were fed Biodiet starter (4% body weight per day) for 42 d with TCDD added at 0 ppb, 0.1 ppb, 1 ppb, 10 ppb or 100 ppb. Fish were collected, sexed, weighed and length measured at 0, 7, 14, 28 or 42 d for TCDD assessment, histopathologic and microarray analysis. Microarray experiments were conducted using 0 and 100 ppb-TCDD treated male and female sexed zebrafish at 7, 14, 28 and 42 d. NimbleGen Gene Expression 12X135K zebrafish microarrays and One-Color DNA labeling Kit (NimbleGen, WI) were used for genome-wide expression analysis of TCDD-treated zebrafish. TCDD accumulated in a dose- and time-dependent manner and 100 ppb TCDD caused TCDD accumulation in female (15.49 ppb) and male (18.04 ppb) fish at 28 d post exposure. TCDD caused multiple lesions in liver, kidney, intestine and ovary of zebrafish and functional dysregulation such as depletion of glycogen in liver, retrobulbar edema, degeneration of neurosensory epithelium, underdevelopment of intestine, and diminution in the fraction of ovarian follicles containing vitellogenic oocytes. At 42d, no mature female fish were observed.

Transcriptome Alterations Following Developmental Atrazine Exposure in Zebrafish Are Associated with Disruption of Neuroendocrine and Reproductive System Function, Cell Cycle, and Carcinogenesis

Project description:Atrazine, a herbicide commonly applied to agricultural areas and a common contaminant of potable water supplies, is implicated as an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) and potential carcinogen. Studies show that EDCs can cause irreversible changes in tissue formation, decreased reproductive potential, obesity, and cancer. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers an atrazine concentration of ≤ 3 ppb in drinking water safe for consumption. The specific adverse human health effects associated with a developmental atrazine exposure and the underlying genetic mechanisms of these effects are not well defined. In this study, zebrafish embryos were exposed to a range of atrazine concentrations to establish toxicity. Morphological, transcriptomic, and protein alterations were then assessed at 72 h postfertilization following developmental atrazine exposure at 0, 0.3, 3, or 30 ppb. A significant increase in head length was observed in all three atrazine treatments. Transcriptomic profiles revealed 21, 62, and 64 genes with altered expression in the 0.3, 3, and 30 ppb atrazine treatments, respectively. Altered genes were associated with neuroendocrine and reproductive system development, function, and disease; cell cycle control; and carcinogenesis. There was a significant overlap (42 genes) between the 3 and 30 ppb differentially expressed gene lists, with two of these genes (CYP17A1 and SAMHD1) present in all three atrazine treatments. Increased transcript levels were translated to significant upregulation in protein expression. Overall, this study identifies genetic and molecular targets altered in response to a developmental atrazine exposure to further define the biological pathways and mechanisms of toxicity.

Dose-dependent toxic effects of dietary TCDD on juvenile zebrafish

Project description:Juvenile zebrafish were fed Biodiet starter (4% body weight per day) for 42 d with TCDD added at 0 ppb, 0.1 ppb, 1 ppb, 10 ppb or 100 ppb. Fish were collected, sexed, weighed and length measured at 0, 7, 14, 28 or 42 d for TCDD assessment, histopathologic and microarray analysis. Microarray experiments were conducted in TCDD-treated (at 0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 ppb) for male and female sexed zebrafish at 28 d. NimbleGen Gene Expression 12X135K zebrafish microarrays and One-Color DNA labeling Kit (NimbleGen, WI) were used for genome-wide expression analysis of TCDD-treated zebrafish. TCDD accumulated in a dose- and time-dependent manner and 100 ppb TCDD caused TCDD accumulation in female (15.49 ppb) and male (18.04 ppb) fish at 28 d post exposure. TCDD caused multiple lesions in liver, kidney, intestine and ovary of zebrafish and functional dysregulation such as depletion of glycogen in liver, retrobulbar edema, degeneration of neurosensory epithelium, underdevelopment of intestine, and diminution in the fraction of ovarian follicles containing vitellogenic oocytes. Microarray gene expression analysis comparing control to post TCDD diet revealed dysregulated genes located in pathways associated with cardiac necrosis/cell death, cardiac fibrosis, renal necrosis/cell death and liver necrosis/cell death. These baseline toxicological effects provide evidence for the potential biomarkers, mechanisms and pathology of TCDD induced dysregulation.

Neuromorphic Electro-Stimulation Based on Atomically Thin Semiconductor for Damage-Free Inflammation Inhibition

Project description:Inflammation, caused by accumulation of inflammatory cytokines from immunocytes, is prevalent in a variety of diseases. Electro-stimulation emerges as a promising candidate for inflammatory inhibition. Although electroacupuncture is free from surgical injury, it faces the challenges of imprecise pathways/current spikes, and insufficiently defined mechanisms, while non-optimal pathway or spike would require high current amplitude, which makes electro-stimulation usually accompanied by damage and complications. Here, we propose a neuromorphic electro-stimulation based on atomically thin semiconductor floating-gate memory interdigital circuit. Direct stimulation is achieved by wrapping sympathetic chain with flexible electrodes and floating-gate memory are programmable to fire bionic spikes, thus minimizing nerve damage. A substantial decrease (73.5%) in inflammatory cytokine IL-6 occurred, which also enabled better efficacy than commercial stimulator at record-low currents with damage-free to sympathetic neurons. Additionally, using transgenic mice, the anti-inflammation effect is determined by β2 adrenergic signaling from myeloid cell lineage (monocytes/macrophages and granulocytes).

Quantitative profiling of proteome extracted from zebrafish embryos exposed to different concentrations of the fungicide metalaxyl against untreated control groups.

Project description:In the present study OMICs analysis was employed to investigate the early molecular responses of zebrafish embryos to exposure to the fungicide metalaxyl. Metalaxyl, a nucleic acid metabolism inhibitor according to Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) classification, may also induce adverse effects on non-target organisms inhabiting the environment. Early molecular responses in terms of transcriptome and proteome analysis were investigated and refined to select potentially substance specific biomarker candidates for early prediction of metalaxyl toxicity in zebrafish embryos.

An embryonic atrazine exposure results in reproductive dysfunction in adult zebrafish and morphological alterations in their offspring

Project description:The herbicide atrazine, a suspected endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC), frequently contaminates potable water supplies. Studies suggest alterations in the neuroendocrine system along the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis; however, most studies address either developmental, pubertal, or adulthood exposures, with few investigations regarding a developmental origins hypothesis. In this study, zebrafish were exposed to 0, 0.3, 3, or 30 parts per billion (ppb) atrazine through embryogenesis and then allowed to mature with no additional chemical exposure. Reproductive function, histopathology, hormone levels, offspring morphology, and the ovarian transcriptome were assessed. Embryonic atrazine exposure resulted in a significant increase in progesterone levels in the 3 and 30 ppb groups. A significant decrease in spawning and a significant increase in follicular atresia in the 30 ppb group were observed. In offspring, a decrease in the head length to body ratio in the 30 ppb group, along with a significant increase in head width to body ratio in the 0.3 and 3 ppb groups occurred. Transcriptomic alterations involved genes associated with endocrine system development and function, tissue development, and behavior. This study provides evidence to support atrazine as an EDC causing reproductive dysfunction and molecular alterations in adults exposed only during embryogenesis and morphological alterations in their offspring. We treated zebrafish embryos from approximately 1 hour post fertilization through 72 hours post fertilization (embryogenesis) to 0, 0.3, 3, or 30 parts per billion atrazine. Following the 72 hour exposure period, larvae were rinsed and allowed to mature under normal conditions until adulthood (5-6 months post fertilization). At this time, zebrafish were bred weekly for three weeks in order to initiate breeding cycles. Following this peroid, gonadal tissue was dissected and processed for transcriptomic analysis.

Mitochondrial dysfunction, disruption of F-actin polymerization, and transcriptomic alterations in zebrafish larvae exposed to trichloroethylene

Project description:Trichloroethylene (TCE) is primarily used as an industrial degreasing agent and has been in use since the 1940s. TCE is released into the soil, surface, and groundwater. From an environmental and regulatory standpoint more than half of Superfund hazardous waste sites on the National Priority List are contaminated with TCE. Occupational exposure to TCE occurs primarily via inhalation, while environmental TCE exposure also occurs through ingestion of contaminated drinking water. Current literature links TCE exposure to various adverse health effects including cardiovascular toxicity. Current studies aiming to address developmental cardiovascular toxicity utilized rodent and avian models with the majority of studies using relatively higher parts per million (ppm; mg/L) doses. In this study to further investigate developmental cardiotoxicity of TCE, zebrafish embryos were treated with 0, 10, 100, or 500 parts per billion (ppb; μg/L) TCE during embryogenesis and/or through early larval stages. After the appropriate exposure period, angiogenesis, F-actin polymerization, and mitochondrial function were assessed. A significant dose response decrease in angiogenesis, F-actin polymerization, and mitochondrial function was observed. To further complement this data, a transcriptomic profile of zebrafish larvae was completed to identify gene alterations associated with the 10 ppb TCE exposure. Results from the transcriptomic data revealed that an embryonic TCE exposure caused significant changes in genes associated with cardiovascular disease, cancer, and organismal injury and abnormalities with a number of targets in the FAK signaling pathway. Overall, results from our study further support TCE as a developmental cardiovascular toxicant and continued priority for environmental regulation.

Gene expression profiling in zebrafish embryos exposed to 3,4-dichloroaniline (3,4-DCA)

Project description:The zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo toxicity test (DarT) is considered as an alternative to the acute fish toxicity test. However, DarT rarely reveals information on the mechanisms underlying a toxic effect and is relatively insensitive compared to chronic toxic effects. We hypothesized that, by using gene expression profiles as an additional endpoint, it may be possible to increase the sensitivity and predictive value of DarT. Therefore we exposed zebrafish embryos for 48 h to the reference compound 3,4-dichloroaniline and analyzed gene expression patterns with a 14 k oligonucleotide array. Keywords: differential gene expression upon chemical exposure in zebrafish embryos
