Impact of exposure to environmentally-relevant concentrations of ionic silver and nanosilver on thyroid hormone-dependent postembryonic development of the North American bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana)

ABSTRACT: Nanoparticles (<100 nm) are engineered to have unique physico-chemical properties compared to their larger counterparts. Nanosilver (nAg) is the most prevalent nanoparticle in consumer products due to its strong antimicrobial action. While nAg toxicity at high concentrations has been well described, the potential for sublethal effects at or below regulatory guidelines is relatively unknown. Amphibian metamorphosis is mediated by thyroid hormone (TH) and can be precociously induced by the addition of exogenous hormone. Low concentrations of nAg have been shown to disrupt TH-dependent responses in cultured premetamorphic Rana catesbeiana tadpole tail fin. The present study examined the effects of exposure to an environmentally relevant concentration (6 µg/L) of either nAg or ionic silver (iAg) on premetamorphic tadpoles in the absence and presence of exogenous TH. Disruption of thyroid hormone-mediated signalling in brain and liver transcriptomes was evaluated using the MAGEX cDNA microarray.

Chronic sublethal exposure to silver nanoparticles disrupts thyroid hormone signaling during Xenopus laevis metamorphosis

Project description:Nanoparticles (NPs) are engineered in the nanoscale (<100nm) to have unique physico-chemical properties from their bulk counterparts. Nanosilver (nAg) is the most prevalent nanoparticle in consumer products due to its strong antimicrobial action. While nAg toxicity at high concentrations has been well described, the sublethal effects at or below regulatory guidelines are relatively unknown. Amphibian metamorphosis is mediated by thyroid hormone (TH), and initial studies indicate that low concentrations of nAg disrupt TH-dependent responses in precociously induced premetamorphic bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) tadpoles. The present study examined the effects of environmentally-relevant nAg concentrations (LoAg, 0.018 µg/L; MedAg, 0.18 µg/L; HiAg, 1.8 µg/L) on naturally metamorphosing Xenopus laevis tadpoles in two 28-day chronic exposures beginning with pre- and prometamorphic stages, respectively. nAg was found to significantly bioaccumulate in tadpoles after 28 days. While nAg didn’t alter metamorphic timing, it increased hindlimb length during early premetamorphosis and in post-metamorphic juvenile tadpoles. Using MAGEX microarray and QPCR transcript analyses, 7 markers of nAg exposure were discovered and validated, 5 of which showed nAg-induced disruption of their TH-response. The increased mRNA abundance of two peroxidase genes suggests that nAg could generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) even at low, environmental concentrations. Furthermore, differential responsiveness to nAg was observed between developmental stages. Therefore, low concentrations of nAg had endocrine disruptive effects at both the physiological and molecular level, indicating that regulatory guidelines for silver may need revision.

Effects of Acute Exposure to the Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug Ibuprofen on the Developing North American Bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) Tadpole

Project description:An anthropogenic chemical contaminant commonly identified in aquatic receiving environments is the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), ibuprofen(IBF). While the role of ibuprofen in target organisms is known, there exists a paucity of data on the impact of exposure to non-target wildlife species. In the case of frog species, normal development and environmental fitness involves the actions of the thyroid hormones (THs), particularly at key points in the life cycle. We investigated whether exposure of premetamorphic North American bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) tadpoles to IBF altered their response to treatment with an exogenous dose of thyroid hormone (T3).

Thyroid Hormone (TH) Controls The Remodeling Of The Pancreas And The Liver, Part A

Project description:Thyroid hormone (TH) controls the remodeling of the pancreas and the liver. TH-induces dedifferentiation of the exocrine pancreas to a progenitor state (Proc. Nat. Acad Sci. 105, 8962-8967 (2008)) and it remodels the endocrine pancreas (Dev. Biol. 328, 384-391 (2009)). The redifferentiated frog pancreas resembles closely the pancreas of other typical vertebrates. Two pancreas arrays were carried out. The first one studied gene expression changes at different developmental stages of Xenopus laevis during metamorphosis. The second array studies gene expression changes at varying times after the addition of TH to premetamorphic tadpoles. Keywords: cell cycle design,co-expression design,reference design,time series design Thyroid hormone (TH) controls remodeling of the pancreas. The micro array was carried out to identify changes in gene expression between the tadpole and frog pancreas. This is part 1, done on the 44K Xenopus platform. This dataset was used only for one pancreas experiment with several data points (control, 12h, 24h, 48h and frog). Each was made in triplicate. Samples in all 3 parts of the study received the same thyroid hormone levels.

Transcription profiling of brains, hindlimbs and tails of Xenopus laevis tadpoles after treatment with thyroid hormone

Project description:Premetamorphic Xenopus laevis tadpole tail respond to thyroid hormone by resorption. The goal of this experiment is to identify the genes involved in the TH-induced resorption tadpole tail and compare it to TH-induced proliferation and differentiation program in tadpole limb and brain. Xenopus tadpoles (NF54) were treated with 100 nM T3(triioodthyronine) in 0.1 x MMR for another 24h and 48h or without T3 for 48h (control group). NF 61 tadpoles were in 0.1 X MMR till they reached NF stage 62. The tails were dissected after the experiment.
