Polystyrene nanoplastics synergistically exacerbate diclofenac toxicity in embryonic development and the health of adult zebrafish. Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2024; 281:109926. [PMID: 38641085 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpc.2024.109926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
In this study, we investigated the possible ecotoxicological effect of co-exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) and diclofenac (DCF) in zebrafish (Danio rerio). After six days of exposure, we noticed that the co-exposure to PS-NP (100 μg/L) and DCF (at 50 and 500 μg/L) decreased the hatching rate and increased the mortality rate compared to the control group. Furthermore, we noted that larvae exposed to combined pollutants showed a higher frequency of morphological abnormalities and increased oxidative stress, apoptosis, and lipid peroxidation. In adults, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were also impaired in the intestine, and the co-exposure groups showed more histopathological alterations. Furthermore, the TNF-α, COX-2, and IL-1β expressions were significantly upregulated in the adult zebrafish co-exposed to pollutants. Based on these findings, the co-exposure to PS-NPs and DCF has shown an adverse effect on the intestinal region, supporting the notion that PS-NPs synergistically exacerbate DCF toxicity in zebrafish.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 344:123388. [PMID: 38242311 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123388] [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: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
Significant concentrations of emerging xenobiotics, like diclofenac (DCF), possessing severe irreversible eco-toxicological threats, has been detected in aquatic systems worldwide, raising the concerns. This present investigation is intended to explore an efficient solution to support the existing wastewater treatment policies to handle DCF contamination by bacteria-mediated biotransformation. DCF-tolerant bacterial strains were isolated from pharmaceutical wastewater and selected based on their non-virulence nature and degradation ability. Among those, Pseudomonas sp. DCα4 was found to be the most dominant DCF degrader exhibiting 99.82% removal of DCF confirmed by HPLC after optimization of temperature at 30.02 °C, pH at 6.9, inoculum of 4.94%, and time 68.02 h. The degradation kinetics exhibited the process of DCF degradation followed a first-order kinetics with k of 0.108/h and specific degradation rate of 0.013/h. Moreover, the enzyme activity study indicated predominant hydrolase activity in the DCF treatment broth of DCα4, implying hydrolysis as the main force behind DCF biotransformation. HRMS analysis confirmed the presence of 2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, 1,3-dichloro,2-amino, 5-hydroxybenzene, and benzylacetic acid as major intermediates of DCF biodegradation indicating non-specific hydrolysis of DCF. Whole genome analysis of most related strains which were confirmed by near full 16S rRNA gene sequence homology study, predicted involvement of different N-C bond hydrolase producing genes like puud, atzF, astB, nit1, and nylB. The ecotoxicological study using Aliivibrio fischeri exhibited 47.51% bioluminescence inhibition by DCF-containing broth which was comparable to the same caused by 1 mg/mL of K2Cr2O7 whereas remediated broth exhibited only 0.51% inhibition implying reduction of the ecotoxic load caused by DCF contamination. Cost analysis revealed that possible integration of the process with existing ones would increase per litre expense by $0.45. These results indicated that the described process of DCF biodegradation using the super-degrader DCα4 would be an advancement of existing pharmaceutical wastewater treatment processes for DCF bioremediation.

Abstract
Plastic pollution is a severe threat to the health of ecosystems, and recycling plastics is recognized as a key control strategy. This study used the one-step pyrolysis assisted with KOH activation to recycle the widely used polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic as activated carbon (PET-AC) which was subsequently applied to adsorb diclofenac (DCF), a frequently detected emerging contaminant in water, for the first time. It was found that both the pyrolysis temperature and the addition of KOH can effectively regulate the pore sizes and volumes of PET-AC. PET-AC obtained at 700 °C demonstrated a high adsorption capacity of DCF up to 179.42 mg g-1 at 45 °C. The adsorption kinetics was conducted with both static jar and dynamic column tests and analyzed with various models. Thermodynamic results demonstrated that the adsorption of DCF was spontaneous and endothermic. The material also presented an excellent potential to adsorb other pharmaceuticals and personal care products in water. XPS and FTIR analysis indicated that the adsorption might be mainly driven by the physical forces, especially π-π interaction and hydrogen bonding. This study provided a reference for recycling waste plastic as an efficient adsorbent to eliminate organic contaminants from water.

Abstract
Active pharmaceutical ingredients present a substantial risk when they reach the environment and drinking water sources. As a new type of dangerous pollutants with high chemical resistance and pronounced biological effects, they accumulate everywhere, often in significant concentrations (μg/L) in ecological environments, food chains, organs of farm animals and humans, and cause an intense response from the aquatic and soil microbiota. Rhodococcus spp. (Actinomycetia class), which occupy a dominant position in polluted ecosystems, stand out among other microorganisms with the greatest variety of degradable pollutants and participate in natural attenuation, are considered as active agents with high transforming and degrading impacts on pharmaceutical compounds. Many representatives of rhodococci are promising as unique sources of specific transforming enzymes, quorum quenching tools, natural products and novel antimicrobials, biosurfactants and nanostructures. The review presents the latest knowledge and current trends regarding the use of Rhodococcus spp. in the processes of pharmaceutical pollutants’ biodegradation, as well as in the fields of biocatalysis and biotechnology for the production of targeted pharmaceutical products. The current literature sources presented in the review can be helpful in future research programs aimed at promoting Rhodococcus spp. as potential biodegraders and biotransformers to control pharmaceutical pollution in the environment.

Abstract
Diclofenac (DCF), 17-β-estradiol (E2), and 17-α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) are emerging pollutants included in the first watch list agreed by European countries and set in the EU Water Directive. The objective of the present study was the analytical monitoring of DCF, E2, and EE2 in surface water and sediment of the Manzanares River in a stretch that crosses the city of Madrid, Spain, and to assess whether such environmental levels could affect the development of aquatic vertebrates through a zebrafish embryo-larval assay. Samples taken during two campaigns in the spring of 2015 were analyzed for DCF, E2, and EE2 by LC-MS or GC-MS. The levels of E2 and EE2 measured in surface water and sediments of the Manzanares were within the ranges reported in other Spanish and European studies; however, DCF levels were higher in the present study. The zebrafish embryos exposed to the Manzanares River water (0-144h) showed lethal effects and sublethal effects (developmental delay, bradycardia, and reduced locomotion). Nevertheless, these effects were not primarily associated with the levels of DCF, E2, and EE2 present in the Manzanares River, because representative mixtures of the field study prepared in the laboratory did not exhibit such toxicity to the zebrafish embryos.

Abstract
To determine whether the marine medaka Oryzias melastigma is a suitable model organism for evaluating the effects of environmental chemicals on marine teleosts, we examined the effect of salinity on physiological development and zinc toxicity. Growth as measured by total body length was significantly lower in fresh water compared to brackish water. Reproductive success was also significantly reduced in fresh water, although we observed cells in the pituitary producing gonadotropins such as Gpa (common glycoprotein hormone α), Fshb (follicle stimulating hormone β), and Lhb (luteinizing hormone β) at all salinities. These results indicate that O. melastigma is adaptable to various salinities from fresh to seawater, and brackish water is best for physiological processes including growth performance and reproduction. When zinc was dissolved in saltwater, a white precipitate formed immediately, and the dissolved concentration decreased in the supernatant and increased at precipitate. We performed zinc toxicity tests on early life stage and adult stage in fresh water, brackish water, and seawater. Among adults, the lowest observed effect concentration for mortality in freshwater (15.3 mg/L) was lower than in brackish water (>48 mg/L) or seawater (>48 mg/L). Similarly, among embryos and larvae, the lowest observed effect concentration for mortality in freshwater (4.8 mg/L) was lower than in brackish water (48 mg/L) or seawater (48 mg/L). These results highlight the importance of using marine organisms to evaluate the ecological effects of marine pollutants.

Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2021; 242:108948.

Abstract
In the present study, we assessed the negative effects of triphenyltin (TPT) on zebrafish (Danio rerio) by exposing embryos and early-stage larvae to various concentrations of TPT from 2 h after fertilization (haf) until 30 days after hatching (dah). Whether test groups were fed or fasted during ecotoxicity studies using fish models has varied historically, and whether this experimental condition influences test results is unknown. Here, we confirmed that the lethal concentration of TPT to embryo and early-stage larvae (i.e., 3 dah or younger) showed in fed (lowest observed effect concentration (LOEC); 6.34 μg/L) and fasted (LOEC; 6.84 μg/L) groups. In addition, 84% and 100% of the larvae in the 2.95 and 6.64 μg/L exposure groups, respectively, had uninflated swim bladders; all affected larvae died within 9 dah. This finding suggests that morphologic abnormalities in early larval zebrafish are useful as endpoints for predicting the lethality of chemical substances after hatching. We then assessed the expression of several genes in the thyroid hormone pathway, which regulates swim bladder development in many fish species, including zebrafish. Larvae exposed to 6.64 μg/L TPT showed significant increases in the mRNA expression levels of thyroid hormone receptor α (trα) and trβ but not of thyroid stimulating hormone β subunit. These findings suggest that TPT disrupts the thyroid system in zebrafish.

Abstract
Worldwide, the pollution of water bodies by contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) such as pharmaceuticals, endocrine disrupting compounds, flame retardants including brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and perfluorochemicals (PFCs), micro plastics, nanomaterials, and algal toxins, to name just a few, is creating a new set of challenges to the conventional wastewater treatment facilities, which demonstrate inefficiency in removing/degrading many CECs. As a consequence, environmentalists started to detect the presence of some of those contaminants at alarming levels in certain countries, with possible negative effects on aquatic species and often increased potential for human health risks through the exposure to the contaminated waters, or the reuse of treated wastewater in agriculture and household use. Such issues are more accentuated in the African continent due to various socio-economic problems giving rise to poor sanitation systems and serious shortages in wastewater treatment plants in many regions, making it difficult to tackle the problem of conventional pollutants, let alone to deal with the more challenging CECs. Thus, in order to effectively deal with this emerging environmental threat, African researchers are working to develop and optimize sound sampling and analytical procedures, risk assessment models, and efficient remediation technologies. In this review, related recent research efforts conducted in African universities and research institutions will be presented and discussed with respect to the occurrence and assessment of CECs in African wastewater effluents, the potential risks to aquatic ecosystems and humans, the tailored remediation techniques, along with some knowledge gaps and new research directions.

Abstract
Zebrafish is a small teleost (bony) fish used in many areas of pharmacology and toxicology. This animal model has advantages for the discovery of anti-inflammatory drugs, such as the potential for real-time assessment of cell migration mechanisms. Additionally, zebrafish display a repertoire of inflammatory cells, mediators, and receptors that are similar to those in mammals, including humans. Inflammatory disease modeling in either larvae or adult zebrafish represents a promising tool for the screening of new anti-inflammatory compounds, contributing to our understanding of the mechanisms involved in chronic inflammatory conditions. In this review, we provide an overview of the characterization of inflammatory responses in zebrafish, emphasizing its relevance for drug discovery in this research area.
