Project description:Background: Acrylamide (ACR) is a broadly spread neurotoxic chemical of public health concern, as occupational or environmental exposure of humans to ACR may lead to a synaptopathy characterized by ataxia, skeletal muscles weakness and numbness of the extremities. Currently, only the mildly affected patients undergo complete recovery, and identification of new molecules with therapeutic bioactivity against ACR acute neurotoxicity is urgently needed. Objectives: We aimed to develop a zebrafish model for human ACR neurotoxicity. Methods: Adverse effects have been assessed at different levels, including analysis of the motor function (basal locomotor activity, visual motor response, kinematic of the touch-evoked escape response), histopathological evaluation (toluidine blue and whole-mount immunofluorescence), analysis of neural transcriptional markers (qPCR), proteomic analysis (μLC-MS-MS) and neurotransmitters profile (LC-MS/MS). Results: Our results show that zebrafish mimics most of the pathophysiological processes described in humans and mammalian models. Motor function was altered, including the response to sudden changes in light intensity. Specific effects were found on the presynaptic nerve terminals at the neuromuscular junction level, but not on the axonal tracts or myelin sheath integrity. Transcriptional markers of proteins involved in synaptic vesicle cycle were selectively altered, and the proteomic analysis showed that ACR-adducts were formed on cysteine residues of some synaptic proteins. Finally, analysis of neurotransmitters profile showed a significant effect found on cholinergic and dopaminergic systems. Conclusions: Thus, the zebrafish model for ACR acute neurotoxicity is suitable to be used larvae for in vivo high-throughput screening of small molecule libraries for identifying new drugs against this synaptopathy.

Project description:This research provides a thorough ecotoxicological evaluation of natural biopolymers (BP) and naturally modified polymers (NMP). The study focuses on biopolymers such as chitosan, xanthan, alginate, and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), alongside NMPs like Jelucel HM 200 and Emwaxy Jel 100. Each polymer was individually tested on zebrafish embryos using a zebrafish embryo toxicity (zFET) test. Natural polymers, although prevalent in agrotechnical products, remain largely unregulated under REACH due to their natural origins. There is a critical lack of data regarding their potential impact on closed ecosystem cycles, raising concerns about environmental risks. To assess the sublethal effects of these polymers, a modified zebrafish embryo toxicity test (ZFET) was utilized, incorporating transcriptomics as an additional evaluation endpoint. This modified methodology adheres to the OECD 236 guidelines but includes specific adjustments for gene expression analysis, such as changes in the number of embryos used, test setup volume, and sample processing procedures. Zebrafish embryos were exposed for 96 hours to each polymer's filtrate at a maximum concentration of 100 mg/L. After exposure, the embryos underwent assessments for survival rates, hatching rates, and morphological malformations. The study identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for each polymer exposure, shedding light on the transcriptomic changes induced by both biopolymers and NMPs. The primary objective is to understand how these substances influence gene expression profiles in zebrafish embryos, aiming to identify transcriptomic biomarkers that could assist in environmental risk assessment. This research contributes valuable insights into the potential ecological impacts of natural and modified polymers, highlighting the need for further regulatory consideration.

Project description:Adult zebrafish, in contrast to mammals, are able to regenerate their hearts in response to injury or experimental amputation. Our understanding of the cellular and molecular bases that underlie this process, although fragmentary, has increased significantly over the last years. However, the role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) during zebrafish heart regeneration has been comparatively rarely explored. Here, we set out to characterize the ECM protein composition in adult zebrafish hearts, and whether it changed during the regenerative response. For this purpose, we first established a decellularization protocol of adult zebrafish ventricles that significantly enriched the yield of ECM proteins. We then performed proteomic analyses of decellularized control hearts and at different times of regeneration. Our results show a dynamic change in ECM protein composition, most evident at the earliest (7 days post-amputation) time-point analyzed. Regeneration associated with sharp increases in specific ECM proteins, and with an overall decrease in collagens and cytoskeletal proteins. We finally tested by atomic force microscopy that the changes in ECM composition translated to decreased ECM stiffness. Our cumulative results identify changes in the protein composition and mechanical properties of the zebrafish heart ECM during regeneration.

Project description:A transgenic line cmlc2:TRAP was made to express EGFP-fused ribosomal protein L10a (EGFP-L10a) in zebrafish cardiomyocytes. Then ribosome-associated RNAs were immuoprecipitated from uninjured and injured adult cmlc2:TRAP fish to determine the differential expression changes during zebrafish heart regeneration.

Project description:The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a popular animal model in studies of vertebrate development and organogenesis. Recent research has shown a similarity of approximately 70% between the human and zebrafish genomes and of 84% in human disease-causing genes, specifically. Zebrafish embryos have a number of desirable features, including transparency, a large size, and rapid embryogenesis. Protein phosphorylation is a well-known post-translational modification (PTM), which performs various biological functions. Recent mass spectrometry (MS) developments have enabled the study of global phosphorylation patterns by using MS-based proteomics coupled with TiO2 phosphopeptide enrichment. In the present study, we identified 3,500 non-redundant phosphorylation sites on 2,166 phosphoproteins and 1,564 quantified phosphoproteins in zebrafish embryos.

Project description:To understand the effects of Hsp60 deficiency in developing vertebrates, we generated CRISPR/Cas9-mediated hspd1 knockout zebrafish lines by targeting exon 2 to induce a frameshift mutation. We selected an allele with a 56 base pair deletion inducing a frameshift mutation leading to loss of protein functions. We examined the transcriptome changes in zebrafish larvae at 5 dpf .

Project description:Zebrafish are a tropical species of fish that inhabit streams that can fluctuate dramatically in temperature. In response to a decrease in temperature, the heart of zebrafish alters the structure of the myocardium and the expression of genes that code for proteins involved in contraction. Since very little is known about the processes supporting these changes in zebrafish, this study evaluated how the protein landscape of the ventricle changes with both an acute and a chronic decrease in temperature from 27oC to 20oC at multiple time points. this tested the hypothesis that a decrease in temperature would elicit changes in protein abundance and phosphorylation to maintain heart function. This study identified 1108, 1851, 1137, and 2325 phosphopeptides at each time point and 2052, 1656, 635, and 1530 proteins at each time point.

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:The ribosome is a translational apparatus that comprises about 80 ribosomal proteins and four rRNAs. Recent studies reported that ubiquitination of the ribosomal proteins plays a pivotal role in translational control and ribosome-associated quality control (RQC). However, little is known about the dynamics of ribosome ubiquitination under complex biological processes of multicellular organisms. To study ribosome ubiquitination during animal development, we generated a zebrafish strain that expresses a FLAG-tagged ribosomal protein Rpl36/eL36 from its endogenous locus. Combining affinity purification of ribosomes from rpl36-FLAG zebrafish embryos with immunoblotting analysis, we analyzed ribosome ubiquitination during zebrafish development. Our data showed that ubiquitination of ribosomal proteins dynamically changed as development proceeded. We further revealed that Znf598, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that triggers RQC, contributed to the ribosome ubiquitination during zebrafish development. LC-MS/MS analysis and immunoblotting analysis identified lysines 139 of ribosomal protein Rps10/eS10 as pivotal ubiquitination sites on the ribosome during development. Finally, we demonstrated that an Rps10 K139/140R mutation reduced overall ribosome ubiquitination pattern. Collectively, these results reveal dynamics and complexity of ribosome ubiquitination in zebrafish development.
