Transcriptomic Responses to Pharmaceutical-Laden Wastewater Effluent Exposure in Etheostoma spp. from the Grand River

ABSTRACT: Aquatic organisms, such as fish, are in constant contact with various anthropogenic stressors present in their environments, including contaminants from wastewater treatment plant effluents (WWTPE). WWTPE represents a pervasive source of pharmaceutically active compounds in surface waters This study investigates the effects of WWTPE exposure on Etheostoma spp. (darters) using hepatic transcriptomic profiling. Wild darters—Etheostoma caeruleum (rainbow darter), Etheostoma blennioides (greenside darter), Etheostoma flabellare (fantail darter), and Etheostoma nigrum (Johnny darter)—were collected upstream and downstream of the Waterloo municipal WWTP effluent outfall (Grand River, ON).

Spatail gradient approach application in assessing changes in the rainbow darter (Etheostome caeruleum) liver transcriptome in the Grand River, Ontario

Project description:In this study, adult male rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) were collected from nine sites located at different distances from two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the Grand River, Ontario, Canada. The goal of this project was to see if the liver transcriptome of fish residing downstream of the two WWTPs differs from the non-exposed fish. Further, this research was also addressing the affects of differnent reference site selection on gene expression patterns, and their subsequent interpretation.The RNA from male rainbow darter was exctracted from liver tissue and used for further gene expression analysis.

Fish on Antidepressants: Venlafaxine Contamination in Our Waterways

Project description:Wastewater treatment plant effluents (WWTPE) represent a pervasive source of pharmaceutically active compounds in surface waters, with the serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor venlafaxine (VEN) frequently detected at elevated concentrations in receiving waters worldwide. VEN is a chiral pharmaceutical administered as a racemic (50:50) mixture of R- and S-enantiomers, which exhibit distinct pharmacological activities and can be selectively degraded or enriched in effluent depending on treatment processes. However, little is known about the stereoselective toxicological effects of VEN in fish. This work investigates the effects of VEN exposure on Etheostoma caeruleum (rainbow darter) using transcriptomic profiling.

Temporal changes in the rainbow darter (Etheostome caeruleum) liver transcriptome associated with sewage treatment plant upgrades in the Grand River, Ontario

Project description:In this study, adult male rainbow darter were collected from three sites in the Grand River in the fall season for four consecutive years (2011-2014), from 3 sites: a reference site (US2) located in the non-urbanized area, and two exposure sites (DSW and DSK1) located dowstrem of two secondary wastewater treatment palnts (WWTP) (Waterloo and Kitchener). Kitchener WWTP has been undergone infrastructure upgrades that were initiated in the summer of 2012. The goal of this project was to see whether the implemented upgrades can be reflected in the liver transcriptome response indicative of recovery.The RNA from male rainbow darter was exctracted from liver tissue and used for further gene expression analysis.

Gene expression rhythms in rainbow darter male (Etheostoma caeruleum) across an annual reproductive cycle

Project description:We have been studying intersex in male rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) associated with exposure to sewage effluents. To understand changes in the gene transcriptome associated with intersex it was necessary to have a better understanding of normal annual changes in the transcriptome. The goal of this research is to identify patterns of gene expression associated with the different stages of gonad development during the annual cycle. The studies of molecular pathways involve in ovarian or testis development has been poorly studied. While most studies focus on female ovarian changes, there is a gap in understanding testis development. A customized second generation microarray for rainbow darter (8x15k) was used to identify patterns of gene expression -in terms of mRNA abundance- in male rainbow darter gonads during an annual cycle.

Getting inside of the molecular pathways associated with intersex in the rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum)

Project description:Rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) are a small benthic fish found in North America. This species is sensitive to sewage effluent in the environment, showing the presence of intersex in up to 80% of males in near-field areas in the Grand River, ON. To learn more about the molecular events associated with intersex, we developed a customized oligonucleotide microarray (4x180K) with next generation sequencing (454 Roche) to characterize molecular responses in the gonad. Transcriptomics was performed on both males and females from both a reference site and a polluted site. Males with and without intersex from the polluted site were compared to the control males. Rainbow darter were sampled from from the Grand River in May 2011. Fish were selected according to the location, gonad maturity, and intersex index. Reference fish were taken from the upstream to the urban area; exposed fish were taken from downstream of from Kitchener MWWE treatment plant.
