Project description:Daphnia magna has been used extensively to evaluate organism- and population-level responses to pollutants in acute toxicity and reproductive toxicity tests. We have previously reported that exposure to juvenile hormone (JH) agonists results in a reduction of reproductive function and production of male offspring in a cyclic parthenogenesis, D. magna. Recent advances in molecular techniques have provided tools to better understand the responses to pollutants in aquatic organisms including D. magna. DNA microarray was used to evaluate gene expression profiles of neonatal daphnids exposed to JH agonists; methoprene (125, 250 and 500 ppb), fenoxycarb (0.5, 1 and 2 ppb), and epofenonane (50, 100 and 200 ppb). Exposure to these JH analogs resulted in chemical specific patterns of gene expression. The heat map analyses based on hierarchical clustering revealed a similar pattern between treatments with a high dose of methoprene and with epofenonane. In contrast, treatment with low to middle doses of methoprene resulted in similar profiles to fenoxycarb treatments. Hemoglobin and JH epoxide hydrolase genes clustered to be JH-responsive genes. These data suggest that fenoxycarb has high activity as a JH agonist, methoprene shows high toxicity and epofenonane works through a different mechanism compared with other JH analogs, agreeing with data of previously reported toxicity tests. In conclusion, D. magna DNA microarray is useful for classification of JH analogs and identification of JH-responsive genes. Juvenile hormone agonists induced gene expression in daphnids neonates was measured at 48 hours after exposure to methoprene (125, 250, 500 ppb), fenoxycarb (0.5, 1, 2 ppb), epofenonane (50, 100, 200) and DMF as a control. Three independent experiments were performed at each chemicals.

Project description:Juvenile hormone (JH) and JH agonists have been reported to induce male offspring production in various daphnids including Daphnia magna. We have recently established a short-term in vivo screening method to detect chemicals having JH activity, induction of male offspring, using adult D. magna. Diofenolan has been developed to be a JH agonist in insects, but no male induction in daphniids has been studied. In this study, we found the male offspring induction by diofenolan with a short-term in vivo screening method, and the most potent male offspring production activity among JH analogs studied using the OECD TG211 Annex 7. Transcriptome analysis of diofenolan-exposed D. magna showed up-regulation of JH-responsive genes. These results clearly demonstrated that diofenolan has JH activities in D. magna using the short-term in vivo screening assay, OECD TG211 Annex 7 and microarray analysis.

Project description:This experiment was conducted to study the short-term (12h) transcriptional responses in Daphnia magna after exposure to the anti-sea lice chemical emamectin benzoate (EMB). The microarray results were further vefiried using qPCR. The gene exression responses were linked to adverse effects after 48h exposure, in order to supply knowledge for environmental hazard assessment of this chemical in non-target crustaceans. Neonatal (<24h) Daphnia magna were exposed to 7.8-2000 pM waterborne emamectin benzoate for 12h. Microarray analysis was performed using pooled whole-organism D. magna (8 individuals) and 4 biological replicates were analyzed for each treatment group.

Project description:In the past years, the research focus on the effects of microplastics (MP) on aquatic organisms extended from marine systems towards freshwater systems. An important freshwater model organism in the MP field is the cladoceran Daphnia, which plays a central role in lacustrine ecosystems and has been established as a test organism in ecotoxicology. To investigate the effects of MP on Daphnia magna, we performed a chronic exposure experiment with polystyrene MP under strictly standardized conditions. Chronic exposure of D. magna to PS microparticles led to a significant reduction in body length and number of offspring. To shed light on underlying molecular mechanisms induced by microplastic ingestion in D. magna, we assessed the effects of PS-MP at the proteomic level.
