CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 358:142187. [PMID: 38685327 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142187] [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: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
Bisphenol analogs (BPs) are extensively employed in commercial and industrial products and they have been found in a variety of environmental matrices and human samples. The red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) has been a trendy food in China in recent decades. However, the levels of BPs in Chinese crayfish and the associated hazards of human exposure remain unknown. Thus, in this study, the levels of eight BPs in crayfish gathered from five major provinces engaged in crayfish within the Yangtze River Basin were analyzed. Additionally, the health risks for humans by ingesting crayfish were calculated. BPs were frequently detected in crayfish tissues, indicating the wide occurrence of these chemicals. In comparison to other substitutions, BPA remains the dominant bisphenol analog. Most of the BPs were observed to accumulate in the hepatopancreas compared to the muscle, so consuming the hepatopancreas of crayfish is not recommended. With the exception of BPS, the Estimated Daily Intakes (EDIs) of the remaining BPs exceeded the Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) specified by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) by a factor of 1.75-69.0. The mean hazard index (HI) values exceeded 1 for both hepatopancreas and muscle in all provinces, and the mean HI values for hepatopancreas were significantly higher than those for muscle, indicating potential health risks for local consumers.

He S, He J, Wu F, Zhao Y, Jin X, Martyniuk CJ. In vivo and in silico toxicity assessment of four common liquid crystal monomers to Daphnia magna: Novel endocrine disrupting chemicals in crustaceans? THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:168757. [PMID: 38008309 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.168757] [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: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/28/2023]
Abstract
Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) are widely used in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and are proposed to be a new generation of environmentally persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) substances that are increasingly detected in rivers and seas. However, there is a lack of in vivo data that characterize adverse responses and toxic mechanisms of LCMs on aquatic organisms. The aim of this study was to comprehensively investigate the effect of four typical LCMs on the lethality, growth, molting, and reproductive capacity of Daphnia magna (D. magna), a highly studied aquatic species in environmental toxicology. Whole body and enzymatic biomarkers (i.e., body length, chitobiase, acetylcholinesterase, antioxidant defense) were measured to assess the toxicity of LCMs. The 48 h mortality rate and observations of disrupted thorax development and inhibition of ecdysis indicate that D. magna are sensitive to LCMs exposure. Oxidative stress, impaired neurotransmission, and disruptions in molting were observed in short-term biomarker tests using LCMs. A 21 day exposure of D. magna to LCMs resulted in reduced growth, reproduction, and population intrinsic growth rate. In addition, chitobiase and 20-hydroxyecdysone, enzymes important for the molting process, were altered at 7, 14 and 21 d. This is hypothesized to be related to endocrine imbalance resulting from LCM exposure. Based on molecular docking simulations, there is evidence that LCMs bind directly to ecdysteroid receptors; this may explain the observed endocrine disrupting effects of LCMs. These data support the hypothesis that LCMs are endocrine disrupting chemicals in aquatic species, impacting the process of molting. This may subsequently lead to lower reproduction and unbalanced population dynamics.

Exposure to bisphenol A and fiber-type microplastics induce oxidative stress and cell damage in disk abalone Haliotis discus hannai: Bioaccumulation and toxicity. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 144:109277. [PMID: 38072138 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.109277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023]
Abstract
Along with environmental pollution caused by rapid economic development and industrialization, plastic waste is emerging as a global concern in relation to marine ecosystems and human health. Among the microplastics, fiber-type microfibers (MF) and bisphenol A (BPA), which are widely used as plasticizers, do not decompose well in the ocean, and tend to accumulate in organisms, generating an increased oxidative stress response. This study investigated the abalones' antioxidant and cell death responses following exposure to the environmental pollutants MF and BPA. Levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and DNA damage increased over time, demonstrating the degree of lipid peroxidation and DNA damage in abalones exposed to individual and combined environmental conditions of MF and BPA. Compared to the single MF and BPA exposure groups, the combined exposure group showed a higher expression of antioxidant enzymes. A similar pattern was seen in the expression of the apoptosis enzyme caspase-3. Both MF and BPA caused oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymes were expressed to alleviate it, but it is believed that cell damage occurred because the stress level exceeded the allowed range.

Chronic exposure to bisphenol A induces behavioural, neurochemical, histological, and ultrastructural alterations in the ganglia tissue of the date mussels Lithophaga lithophaga. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:109041-109062.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), a common plastic additive, has been demonstrated mechanistically to be a potential endocrine disruptor and to affect a variety of body functions in organisms. Although previous research has shown that BPA is toxic to aquatic organisms, the mechanism of neurotoxic effects in marine bivalves remains unknown. The current study aimed to elucidate the neurotoxic effects of BPA when administered at different concentrations (0.25, 1, 2, and 5 µg/L) for twenty-eight days in the ganglia of a bivalve model, the Mediterranean mussel (Lithophaga lithophaga), which is an ecologically and economically important human food source of bivalve species in the Mediterranean Sea. Our findings revealed an increase in behavioural disturbances and malondialdehyde levels in treated mussel ganglia compared to the control group. Furthermore, superoxide dismutase activity increased in the ganglia of L. lithophaga treated with 0.25 and 2 µg/L. However, at BPA concentrations of 1 and 5 µg/L, SOD activity was significantly reduced, as was total glutathione concentration. BPA causes neurotoxicity, as evidenced by concentration-dependent inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, dopamine, and serotonin. After chronic exposure to BPA, neurons showed distortion of the neuronal cell body and varying degrees of pyknosis. The ultrastructure changes in BPA-treated groups revealed the lightening of the nucleoplasm and a shrunken nuclear envelope. Overall, our findings suggest that BPA exposure altered antioxidation, neurochemical biomarkers, histopathological, and ultrastructural properties, resulting in behavioural changes. As a result, our findings provide a basis for further study into the toxicity of BPA in marine bivalves.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pesticides are extensively applied globally. Pesticide residues induce calamitous effects on the environment and untargeted organisms. Public concerns for the safety of freshwater organisms and the challenges posed by aquatic contaminants remain high. In the present study, the acute toxicity of avermectins (AVMs) to the crayfish, Procambarus clarkii was evaluated. We also evaluated the potential effects of AVM on the biochemical and transcriptomic status of the hepatopancreas and gastrointestinal tract in P. clarkii. RESULTS The 24, 48, 72, 96 h median lethal concentrations (LC50 ) of AVM on crayfish were 2.626, 1.162, 0.723, 0.566 mg L-1 , respectively. The crayfish were then exposed to 0.65 mg L-1 of AVM for 96 h. AVM significantly altered biochemical parameters including AChE and CAT activities in the hepatopancreas, and AChE, SOD and Na + -K + -ATPase activities in the gastrointestinal tract at several time points. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis identified 953 and 1851 differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) in the hepatopancreas and gastrointestinal tract, respectively. KEGG enrichment showed that the gene expression profiles of the hepatopancreas and gastrointestinal tract were distinct from each other. The DEGs in the hepatopancreas were mostly enriched with stress-response pathways, while the majority of the DEGs in the gastrointestinal tract belonged to metabolism-related pathways. CONCLUSION We demonstrated that the AVM induced acute toxicity, oxidative stress, osmoregulation disturbance, neurotoxicity and transcriptome imbalance in crayfish. These findings unraveled the detrimental effects of AVMs exposure on crayfish. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
