Multiomics assessment in Enchytraeus crypticus exposed to Ag (nano)materials (Ag NM300K and AgNO 3 )

ABSTRACT: Silver nanomaterials (AgNMs) are broadly used in many products and also rate among the most studied nanoscaled materials. Their ecotoxicological impact in soil invertebrates has been covered, mostly using standard testing, where endpoints like survival and reproduction are assessed. The underlying molecular mechanisms have been assessed to a much less extent. Hence, we here assessed differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and metabolites (DEMs) by high-throughput (HTP) techniques (HPLC-MS/MS with tandem mass tags for proteome analysis, as well as reversed-phase (RP)- or hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) with mass spectrometric detection for metabolome analysis. The standard soil model Enchytraeus crypticus was exposed to Ag NM300K and soluble AgNO3, at the reproduction EC20 and EC50, in a time series of 0, 7, and 14 days. The impact was clearly larger after 14 days. Ag NM300K caused more upregulated DEPs/DEMs, and more so at the EC20, compared to the EC50, whereas AgNO3 caused a dose response increase of DEPs/DEMs. Similar pathways were activated, although often via opposite regulation (up vs down) of DEPs hence dissimilar mechanisms underlie the apical impact. Affected pathways include e.g. energy metabolism transport proteins, detoxifying enzymes, histidine (e.g. neurotransmission by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)) and lipid metabolism. Uniquely affected by AgNO3 were catalase, malate dehydrogenase and ATP-citrate synthase, and by Ag NM300K were heat shock proteins (HSP70) and ferritin. The gene expression-based data in Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) was confirmed and additional key events were added. Evidences support that toxicity of Ag NM increases in longer-term exposure.

Silver nanomaterials (AgNMs) are broadly used and among the most studied nanomaterials. The underlying molecular mechanisms (e.g. protein and metabolite response) that precede phenotypical effects have been assessed to a much lesser extent.

Project description:Daphnia are an important and widely studied model species in ecological and toxicological studies throughout the world and an official (OECD) recommended test organism. Their small size, wide distribution and easy growth conditions make this an organism ideal for functional genomics based studies, including metabolic profiling and transcriptomics. In this study we used an integrated systems approach in which transcriptomic, metabolomic and energetic responses of juvenile (4 days old) daphnids were evaluated in response to exposure to two poly aromatic hydrocarbons (pyrene and fluoranthene) and binary mixtures thereof. In addition, these responses were linked to responses measured during chronic experiments (21 days) assessing survival, growth and reproductive traits. Custom Daphnia magna microarrays were used to assess transcriptomic changes. Hierarchical cluster analysis did not result in a clear distinction between the single compounds suggesting similar molecular modes of action. Cluster analysis with both the single compounds and the binary mixture treatments resulted in a separation of treatments based on differences in toxic ratios rather than component differences. Changes in the metabolic profiles of the organisms were investigated using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy and Gas and Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry. These multivariate metabolomic datasets were analysed with Principal Components Analysis and Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis. The major metabolite changes responsible for the differences observed indicated a disturbance in aminosugar metabolism in all cases. The study demonstrates the potential of âomicsâ to provide screening tools for monitoring of the freshwater environment â in invertebrate species - which is reasonably rapid, cost-effective and has the potential to greatly increase the amount of information obtained from aquatic toxicology testing. Two independent experiments were performed, each with two biological replicates. As a result, every treatment was measured four times with the exception of the two highest mixtures doses where we only had two available replicates. In general, a universal reference design was used in which the reference sample was a pool composed of aliquots from all samples. Dye-bias effects were accounted for by labeling two samples of every treatment with Cy3 and two with Cy5. Exp1Rep1 (reference Cy3, sample Cy5); Exp1Rep2 (reference Cy5, sample Cy3); Exp2Rep1 (reference Cy5, sample Cy3) and Exp2Rep2 (reference Cy3, sample Cy5)
