Triploidy disrupts hormonal and paracrine signaling and enforces male development in zebrafish

ABSTRACT: Sex differentiation in zebrafish is governed by a complex interplay of genetic and endocrine cues. Triploid zebrafish, which are largely sterile, consistently develop as males, but the mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we combined histological and transcriptomic analyses to examine how triploidy and exposure to 17α-ethinyl estradiol (EE2) influence sex differentiation in zebrafish. Triploidy disrupted hormonal and paracrine signaling, with downregulation of fshr and amh, upregulation of igf3, suppression of ptger2a and dio1, collectively driving complete masculinization. In diploids, EE2 produced diverse gonadal outcomes, ranging from testes and ovotestes to fully differentiated ovaries. By contrast, EE2 promoted early germ cell proliferation in triploids but failed to induce ovarian differentiation, reinforcing a fixed male trajectory. Triplody and EE2 administration altered meiosis and spermatogenesis, consistent with downregulation of klhl10 and constrained retinoic acid signaling through dhrs3a and/or cyp26b1. At the molecular level, both triploidy and EE2 converged on suppression of early steroidogenic genes, including star and cyp11a1, limiting androgen and estrogen biosynthesis. Together, these findings reveal how ploidy reshapes endocrine regulation and responsiveness and reveal shared and unique molecular pathways by which EE2 influences zebrafish gonadal fate.

Microarray analysis of di-n-butyl phthalate and 17α ethinyl-oestradiol responses in three-spined stickleback testes

Project description:The data comes from a study, where three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) were exposed to di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) and 17α ethinyl-oestradiol (EE2) at nominal concentrations 35 μg/L and 40 ng/L, respectively, for four days. The aim of the study was to obtain insight into the acute transcriptional responses putatively associated with endocrine disruption. RNA samples from the testes of eight individuals fish per treatment (including solvent controls, exposed only to DMSO) were used in the microarray analysis, covering the expression of approximately 21000 genes.

Transcriptomic analysis of adult ovaries and testes exposed to the cocktails of pharmaceuticals ibuprofen (IBU), 2hydroxyIBU (2hIBU), diclofenac (DCF) and 17a ethinyl-estradiol (EE2) in mice

Project description:The endocrine disrupting pharmaceuticals, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and 17α-ethinyl-estradiol (EE2), are among the most relevant molecules found in aquatic ecosystems, surface and drinking water due to their incomplete removal by wastewater treatment plants. Exposure to therapeutic doses has a negative impact on gonadal development and fertility in rodent models; however, the effects of their chronic exposure at lower doses are not known. In this study, we investigated the impact of chronic exposure to a mixture containing ibuprofen, 2hydroxy-ibuprofen, diclofenac, and EE2 at two environmentally relevant doses (added to the drinking water from fetal life, 8.5 dpc, until sexual maturity) on the reproductive tract in F1 exposed mice and their F2 offspring. In adult F1 and F2 animals, chronic exposure to low environmental doses of IBU, 2hydroxy-IBU, DCF, and EE2 mixtures, affected reproductive organ maturation, estrous cyclicity (in females), spermiogenesis (in males), and some sperm parameters in F2 males. Transcriptomics further revealed significant changes in gene expression patterns and associated pathways, underlying the modified mechanisms on testis and ovarian physiology and on germ cells, the precursors of gametes. Consequently, fertility of F1 male and female animals exposed to the higher dose of pharmaceuticals and that of their F2 offsprings, measured through the total number of pups and the time between litters, was affected after 5 months of age. This suggested that exposure to these drug cocktails has an inter-generational impact.

Transcriptomic analysis of 30dpp ovaries and 35dpp testes exposed to the cocktails of pharmaceuticals ibuprofen (IBU), 2hydroxyIBU (2hIBU), diclofenac (DCF) and 17a ethinyl-estradiol (EE2) in mice

Project description:The endocrine disrupting pharmaceuticals, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and 17α-ethinyl-estradiol (EE2), are among the most relevant molecules found in aquatic ecosystems, surface and drinking water due to their incomplete removal by wastewater treatment plants. Exposure to therapeutic doses has a negative impact on gonadal development and fertility in rodent models; however, the effects of their chronic exposure at lower doses are not known. In this study, we investigated the impact of chronic exposure to a mixture containing ibuprofen, 2hydroxy-ibuprofen, diclofenac, and EE2 at two environmentally relevant doses (added to the drinking water from fetal life, 8.5 dpc, until puberty) on the reproductive tract in F1 exposed mice and their F2 offspring. In F1 animals, exposure delayed male puberty and accelerated female puberty. In post-pubertal F1 testes and ovaries, differentiation/maturation of the different gonad cell types was altered, and some of these modifications were observed also in the non-exposed F2 generation. Transcriptomic analysis of post-pubertal testes and ovaries of F1 (exposed) and F2 animals revealed significant changes in gene expression profiles and enriched pathways, particularly the inflammasome, metabolism and extracellular matrix pathways, compared with controls (non-exposed). This suggested that exposure to these drug cocktails has an inter-generational impact (Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2023, 24, 5890. /doi: 10.3390/ijms24065890)

Testis transcriptome alterations in zebrafish (Danio rerio) with reduced fertility due to developmental exposure to 17alpha-ethynylestradiol

Project description:17α-Ethinylestradiol (EE2) is a ubiquitous aquatic contaminant shown to decrease fish fertility at low concentrations, especially in fish exposed during development. The mechanisms of the decreased fertility are not fully understood. In this study, we perform transcriptome analysis by RNA sequencing of testes from zebrafish with previously reported lowered fertility due to exposure to low concentrations of EE2 during development. Fish were exposed to 1.2 and 1.6 ng/L (measured concentration) of EE2 from fertilization to 80 days of age, followed by 82 days of remediation in clean water.

Effects of Androstenedione, Ethinyl Estradiol, and Prednisone on Gene Expression in the Male Mouse Liver

Project description:The goal of this study was to provide insights into the adverse outcome pathways that underlie the liver tumor effects of androstenedione in the mouse liver by comparing gene expression patterns to two liver noncarcinogens, ethinyl estradiol and prednisone. B6C3F1 male mice were exposed for 7 days to control diet or diet containing ethinyl estradiol (EE2) at 1, 2.5, 5, or 10 ppm or prednisone (PRED) at 1.25, 2.5, 5, 25 ppm. Androstenedione (A4) was administered in 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose by gavage at 2, 10, 20, and 50 mg/kg/day. Separate groups of mice were exposed to 50 mg/kg/day A4, 10 ppm EE2 or 25 ppm PRED for 28 days.
