Xie D, Wei H, Huang Y, Qian J, Zhang Y, Wang M. Elevated temperature as a dominant driver to aggravate cadmium toxicity: Investigations through toxicokinetics and omics. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 474:134789. [PMID: 38843636 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024]
Abstract
Despite the great interest in the consequences of global change stressors on marine organisms, their interactive effects on cadmium (Cd) bioaccumulation/biotoxicity are very poorly explored, particularly in combination with the toxicokinetic model and molecular mechanism. According to the projections for 2100, this study investigated the impact of elevated pCO2 and increased temperature (isolated or joint) on Cd uptake dynamics and transcriptomic response in the marine copepod Tigriopus japonicus. Toxicokinetic results showed significantly higher Cd uptake in copepods under increased temperature and its combination with elevated pCO2 relative to the ambient condition, linking to enhanced Cd bioaccumulation. Transcriptome analysis revealed that, under increased temperature and its combination with elevated pCO2, up-regulated expression of Cd uptake-related genes but down-regulation of Cd exclusion-related genes might cause increased cellular Cd level, which not only activated detoxification and stress response but also induced oxidative stress and concomitant apoptosis, demonstrating aggravated Cd biotoxicity. However, these were less pronouncedly affected by elevated pCO2 exposure. Therefore, temperature seems to be a primary factor in increasing Cd accumulation and its toxicity in the future ocean. Our findings suggest that we should refocus the interactive effects between climate change stressors and Cd pollution, especially considering temperature as a dominant driver.

Abstract
Meso-zooplankton plays a vital role in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems, and some of the taxa provide biological indications for the monitoring of environmental and climate change. Recently, several newly emerging stressors were shown to impact marine and coastal meso-zooplankton in some ways. Marine organisms' genomic core, tightly packed with high-level integrity, can be damaged by anthropogenic activities in coastal zones worldwide and impact their integrity. Genomic integrity loss leads to a cascade of effects on the destruction of the food chain sequences, from primary producers to higher invertebrates. Therefore, monitoring genomic integrity loss using ecotoxicological approaches that focus on genetic changes appears to be a suitable approach. A literature review shows that different stressors severely impact genomic integrity through DNA damage at different concentrations and exposure times. Contaminated sediments also strongly impact the genomic integrity of estuaries and adjacent coastal meso-zooplankton communities.

Location also matters: The oxidative response of the intertidal purple mussel Perumytilus purpuratus during tidal cycle. MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 199:106562. [PMID: 38870558 DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2024.106562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
For sessile intertidal organisms, periods of low tide impose both cellular and physiological challenges that can determine bathymetric distribution. To understand how intertidal location influences the cellular response of the bivalve Perumytilus purpuratus during the tidal cycle (immersion-emersion-immersion), specimens from the upper intertidal (UI) and lower intertidal (LI) of bathymetric distribution were sampled every 2 h over a 10-h period during a summer tidal cycle. Parallelly, organisms from the UI and LI were reciprocally transplanted and sampled throughout the same tidal cycle. Levels of oxidative damage (lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyls) as well as total antioxidant capacity and total carotenoids were evaluated as cellular responses to variations in environmental conditions throughout the tidal cycle. The results indicate that both the location in the intertidal zone (UI/LI), the level of aerial exposure, and the interaction of both factors are determinants of oxidative levels and total antioxidant capacity of P. purpuratus. Although oxidative damage levels are triggered during the low tide period (aerial exposure), it is the UI specimens that induce higher levels of lipid peroxidation compared to those from the LI, which is consistent with the elevated levels of total antioxidant capacity. On the other hand, organisms from the LI transplanted to the UI increase the levels of lipid peroxidation but not the levels of protein carbonyls, a situation that is also reflected in higher levels of antioxidant response and total carotenoids than those from the UI transplanted to the LI. The bathymetric distribution of P. purpuratus in the intertidal zone implies differentiated responses between organisms of the lower and upper limits, influenced by their life history. A high phenotypic plasticity allows this mussel to adjust its metabolism to respond to abrupt changes in the surrounding environmental conditions.

Abstract
This study aimed to apply the comet assay on Aegla platensis crabs as a suitable non-destructive approach for in situ monitoring of freshwater genotoxicity. Animals were captured during four sampling periods in a stream under minor anthropogenic impacts in Southern Brazil. Crabs were captured with a hand net, then the hemolymph samples were collected, and the animals were released into the stream after a 20-min recovery time. Hemolymph samples were transported to the laboratory and used to perform the alkaline comet assay. Results showed an intermediate level in the DNA damage index (range 107.3-165.0 arbitrary unit). No significant differences were observed among the different sampling periods. Hemolymph was successfully used as a non-lethal source of biological samples, and the comet assay using A. platensis proved to be a feasible approach for genotoxicity studies.

Abstract
Toxicity testing relies heavily on animals, especially rodents as part of the non-clinical laboratory testing of substances. However, the use of mammalians and the number of animals employed in research has become a concern for institutional ethics committees. Toxicity testing involving rodents and other mammals is laborious and costly. Alternatively, non-rodent models are used as replacement, as they have less ethical considerations and are cost-effective. Of the many alternative models that can be used as replacement models, which ones can be used in predictive toxicology? What is the correlation between these models and rodents? Are there standardized protocols governing the toxicity testing of these commonly used predictive models? This review outlines the common alternative animal models for predictive toxicology to address the importance of these models, the challenges, and their standard testing protocols.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2021; 287:117603.

Abstract
Extreme temperatures from marine heatwaves (MHWs) and pollution are dominant stressors in tropical marine ecosystems. However, we know little about the role of transgenerational effects of metals and MHWs in shaping the offspring's vulnerability to these stressors. We addressed this fundamental knowledge gap by exposing the planktonic copepod Pseudodiaptomus incisus to copper (Cu: control, 15 and 60 μg L-1) under 2 temperatures (30 and a simulated marine heatwave at 34 °C) in the first generation (F1) and 16 treatments in F2: offspring from each of 4 F1 conditions (control or 15 μg Cu L-1 × 30 or 34 °C) was reared in 4 F2 conditions (control or 15 μg Cu L-1 × 30 or 34 °C). We assessed changes in copepod performance, particularly survival, adult size, grazing, and reproduction. In F1, Cu or marine heatwave (MHW) exposures reduced all fitness traits of F1; the effects were particularly strong when both stressors were present. Transgenerational effects of Cu or MHW also strongly reduced F2 performance. Direct Cu and MHW effects on the offspring were further strengthened by transgenerational effects, resulting in more substantial reductions in F2 performance when both generations were exposed to these stressors. As copepods are major food resources for corals, shrimps, or fish larvae and juveniles, strong transgenerational and direct effects of Cu and MHW can have a cascading effect on entire coastal food webs. These results highlight the importance of considering the interaction of transgenerational and direct effects of multiple stressors, particularly relevant for short-lived organisms in tropical marine ecosystems.

Abstract
Traditional ecotoxicology methods involving copepods have focused on exposure of pooled individuals and averaged responses, but there is increasing awareness of the importance of individual variation. Many biological traits are density dependent, and decisions to use single-individual or pooled exposure may affect responses to anthropogenic stressors. We investigated how conspecific density as a biotic stressor affects behavioral and respiratory responses to copper (Cu) exposure in the coastal copepod Tigriopus brevicornis. Adults were incubated at densities of 1, 2, or 4 individuals per replicate in 3.2 mL of exposure medium (23 µg Cu L-1 or control). Our results show an interaction of Cu exposure and density on respiration. The Cu exposure increased respiration, but this effect diminished with increasing density. We also found reduced swimming activity with increasing density. We propose 2 nonexclusive alternative explanations for the density-dependent respiratory increase of Cu exposure: 1) a behavioral stress response to low conspecific density, or 2) increased Cu exposure due to increased swimming activity. We emphasize the importance of considering density-dependency in responses when designing and interpreting ecotoxicology studies. Environ Toxicol Chem 2021;40:2538-2546. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution in aquatic habitats can be detrimental to both prey and predators in a food web. To investigate the potential for bio-transfer and bioaccumulation of heavy metals between specific trophic levels, 3rd instar larvae of Aedes aegypti were exposed to mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) for three consecutive generations and fed to dragonfly (Tramea cophysa) nymphs. Exposure to Hg caused the highest mortality in A. aegypti larvae and T. cophysa nymphs. Bioaccumulation and life-history parameters of A. aegypti, including egg hatching time, larval and pupal duration, male and female life span, and fecundity, were also evaluated after metals exposure. All life-history parameters except larval duration were significantly affected by heavy metal treatments. Bioaccumulation of metals in A. aegypti larvae and adults gradually and significantly increased from 1st to 3rd generation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study describing the acute toxicity of heavy metals to mosquitoes. Our study shows that heavy metals cause dietary toxicity to an aquatic predator, dragonfly, via trophic transfer, which could have considerable consequences on aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
Copepods play a critical role in the marine food webs, being a food source for marine organisms. In this study, we investigated the toxic effects of Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs) from three types of oil: Naphthenic North Sea crude oil (NNS), Intermediate Fuel Oil (IFO 180) and a commercial Marine Gas Oil (MGO). The WAFs were prepared at 10 °C and 30 PSU (practical salinity unit), and tested on the marine copepod Acartia tonsa at different endpoints and at different levels of biological organization. We determined the median lethal concentrations after 96 h (LC50) and reproduction capabilities were calculated in adult females following seven days of exposure to sublethal WAF doses. The total lipid content was measured in reproductive females using Nile red lipophilic dye after 96 h of WAF exposure. We also measured the transcription levels of genes involved in antioxidant response and xenobiotic biotransformation after short exposure for 48 h. High doses (7% WAF) of MGO affected survival, percentage of fecund females, egg hatching success, and total lipid content. The IFO 180 WAF affected, at medium (20%) and high (40%) doses, the number of fecund females, mortality and produced significant effects on gene expression levels. In conclusion, toxicity assays showed that the WAFs prepared from refined oils were more toxic than crude oil WAF to Acartia tonsa.

Abstract
Tropical coastal areas are increasingly exposed to temperature extremes from marine heatwaves and contaminants from anthropogenic activities. The interactive effects of these environmental changes on marine life are understudied. We investigated the direct and cross-generational effects of copper (Cu) on F0 and F1 generations of the common tropical copepod Pseudodiaptomus annandalei under extreme temperatures (30 and 34 °C). In F0, Cu exposure reduced survival and nauplii production; these patterns were more pronounced at 34 °C and in females. F0 Copepods produced more faecal pellets at 34 °C than 30 °C, indicating a higher energetic demand. In F1, the number of F1 adults was lower in CuF0 and at 34 °C. Cu-exposed F0 produced larger adult F1, while exposure to 34 °C resulted in smaller adult F1. Our results show that tropical copepods are highly vulnerable to the interactive effects of contaminants and extreme temperatures.

Background Members of the Anopheles gambiae complex breed in clean, sunlit temporary bodies of water. Anthropogenic pollution is, however, altering the breeding sites of the vectors with numerous biological effects. Although the effects of larval metal pollution have previously been examined, this study aims to assess the transgenerational effects of larval metal pollution on the major malaria vector An. arabiensis. Methods Two laboratory strains of An. arabiensis, SENN (insecticide-susceptible) and SENN-DDT (insecticide-resistant), were used in this study. After being bred in water polluted with either cadmium chloride, copper nitrate or lead nitrate, several life history characteristics that can have epidemiological implications (fertility, apoptotic damage to reproductive structures, adult longevity and insecticide tolerance) were examined in the adults and compared to those of adults bred in clean water. Results All metal treatments reduced fecundity in SENN, but only lead treatment reduced fertility in SENN-DDT. Cadmium chloride exposure resulted in apoptosis and deformation of the testes in both strains. After breeding generation F0 in polluted water, F1 larvae bred in clean water showed an increase in longevity in SENN-DDT adult females. In contrast, after breeding the F0 generation in polluted water, longevity was reduced after cadmium and copper exposure in the F1 generation. Larval metal exposure resulted in an increase in insecticide tolerance in adults of the SENN strain, with SENN-DDT adults gaining the greatest fold increase in insecticide tolerance. Conclusions This study demonstrates that a single exposure to metal pollution can have transgenerational effects that are not negated by subsequent breeding in clean water. ![]()
