JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 475:134817. [PMID: 38878444 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134817] [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: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
Microplastics and antibiotics coexist in aquatic environments, especially in freshwater aquaculture areas. However, as the second largest production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in the world, the effects of co-exposure to microplastics particles and antibiotics on changes in antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) profiles and the microbial community structure of aquatic organism gut microorganisms are poorly understood. Therefore, in this study, carp (Cyprinus carpio) were exposed to single or combined PVC microplastic contamination and oxytetracycline (OTC) or sulfamethazine (SMZ) for 8 weeks. PVC microplastics can enrich potential pathogenic bacteria, such as Enterobacter and Acinetobacter, among intestinal microorganisms. The presence of PVC microplastics enhanced the selective enrichment and dissemination risk of ARGs. PVC microplastics combined with OTC (OPVC) treatment significantly increased the abundance of tetracycline resistance genes (1.40-fold) compared with that in the OTC exposure treatment, revealing an obvious co-selection effect. However, compared with those in the control group, the total abundance of ARGs and MGEs in the OPVC treatment groups were significantly lower, which was correlated with the reduced abundances of the potential host Enterobacter. Overall, our results emphasized the diffusion and spread of ARGs are more influenced by PVC microplastics than by antibiotics, which may lead to antibiotic resistance in aquaculture.

Surface functional groups on nanoplastics delay the recovery of gut microbiota after combined exposure to sulfamethazine in marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma). AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2024; 267:106813. [PMID: 38183774 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2023.106813] [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: 10/15/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2024]
Abstract
Nanoplastics can interact with antibiotics, altering their bioavailability and the ensuing toxicity in marine organisms. It is reported that plain polystyrene (PS) nanoplastics decrease the bioavailability and adverse effects of sulfamethazine (SMZ) on the gut microbiota in Oryzias melastigma. However, the influence of surface functional groups on the combined effects with SMZ remains largely unknown. In this study, adult O. melastigma were fed diet amended with 4.62 mg/g SMZ and 3.65 mg/g nanoplastics (i.e., plain PS, PS-COOH and PS-NH2) for 30 days (F0-E), followed by a depuration period of 21 days (F0-D). In addition, the eggs produced on the last day of exposure were cultured under standard protocols without further exposure for 2 months (F1 fish). The results showed that the alpha diversity or the bacterial community of gut microbiota did not differ among the SMZ + PS, SMZ + PS-COOH, and SMZ + PS-NH2 groups in the F0-E and F1 fish. Interestingly, during the depuration, a clear recovery of gut microbiota (e.g., increases in the alpha diversity, beneficial bacteria abundances and network complexity) was found in the SMZ + PS group, but not for the SMZ + PS-COOH and SMZ + PS-NH2 groups, indicating that PS-COOH and PS-NH2 could prolong the toxic effect of SMZ and hinder the recovery of gut microbiota. Compared to plain PS, lower egestion rates of PS-COOH and PS-NH2 were observed in O. melastigma. In addition, under the simulated fish digest conditions, the SMZ-loaded PS-NH2 was found to desorb more SMZ than the loaded PS and PS-COOH. These results suggested that the surface -COOH and -NH2 groups on PS could influence their egestion efficiency and the adsorption/desorption behavior with SMZ, resulting in a long-lasting SMZ stress in the gut during the depuration phase. Our findings highlight the complexity of the carrier effect and ecological risk of surface-charged nanoplastics and the interactions between nanoplastics and antibiotics in natural environments.

AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2023; 264:106733. [PMID: 37875383 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2023.106733] [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: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023]
Abstract
The present study was undertaken to explore the effects of sulfamethazine (SMZ) dietary exposure on the enrichment of the intestine microbial structure, and antibiotic resistance gene (ARGs) transmission in marine medaka, with respect to antibiotic dose, duration, and sex. In male fish, a dietary exposure of 10 μg/L SMZ led to a heightened SMZ enrichment in the intestine, whereas metabolite (N-SMZ) levels were elevated at a higher exposure concentration (100 μg/L). Conversely, female fish exhibited stable levels of accumulation and metabolic rates across the exposure period. The composition of intestinal microorganisms revealed that exposure duration exerted a greater impact on the abundance and diversity of gut microbes, and microbial responses to SMZ varied across exposure time points. The expansion of Bacteroidetes and Ruegeria likely stimulated SMZ metabolism and contributed to the more balanced level of SMZ and N-SMZ observed in females. In males, short-term SMZ stress resulted in a disruption of intestinal homeostasis, while the rise in the abundance of the Fusobacteria and Propionigeniuma suggested a potential enhancement in intestinal anti-inflammatory capacity over time. Overall, female medaka exhibited greater adaptability to SMZ, and males appear to experience prolonged effects due to SMZ. A total of 11 ARGs and 5 mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were identified. Ruegeria is the main carrier of two types of MGEs (IS1247, ISSm2-Xanthob), and may serve as an indicator of ARG transmission. Therefore, it is rational to consider some fish breeding areas in natural waters as potential "reservoirs" of antibiotic resistance. This research will provide a valuable reference for the transmission of drug resistance along the food chain.

Abstract
The toxic effects of imidacloprid are attracting increased concern because of its widespread use in agriculture and its persistence in the aquatic environment. Imidacloprid bioaccumulates and triggers various morphological and behavioral responses in amphibians, but the toxic effects and mechanism of imidacloprid in amphibians remain uncertain. In this study, the acute toxicity and chronic effects of imidacloprid on Xenopus laevis were studied. Acute toxicity for 96 h revealed that imidacloprid had an LC50 value of 74.18 mg/L. After exposure for 28 d under 1/10 and 1/100 LC50, liver samples from X. laevis were employed for biochemical analyses, pathological studies, and nontargeted metabolomics to systematically assess the toxic effects and mechanisms of imidacloprid. The results showed that oxidative stress and hepatic tissue morphology changes were observed in treated X. laevis liver. Twelve metabolites involved in metabolic pathway were altered between the control and high exposure groups and twenty-one metabolites were altered between the control and low exposure group. Eight metabolic pathways exposed to high levels and nine metabolic pathways exposed to low level of imidacloprid were disturbed. These pathways were primarily related to amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, and nucleotide metabolism. Our research provides essential information to evaluate the potential toxicity of imidacloprid to nontarget aquatic organisms.

Abstract
DEET is one of the most frequently detected insect repellents in the environment reaching concentrations of several μg L-1 in surface water. There is scarce information available regarding its mode of action in non-target organisms. Here, we have used an integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic approach to elucidate the possible adverse effects of DEET exposure in the marine fish gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata). Individuals were exposed at an environmentally relevant concentration of DEET (10 μg L-1) for 22 days in a continuous flow-through system. Transcriptomic analysis revealed 250 differentially expressed genes in liver, while metabolomic analysis identified 190 differentially modulated features in liver and 98 in plasma. Multi-omic data integration and visualization allowed elucidation of the modes of action of DEET exposure, including: energy depletion through the disruption of carbohydrate and amino acids metabolisms, oxidative stress leading to DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, and damage to cell membrane and apoptosis. Activation of xenobiotic pathway as well as the inmune-inflammatory reaction was evidenced in the present work.

Abstract
Underwater noise from ship engines can affect the metabolism and immune system of various fish species. Meanwhile, changes in the metabolic pathways in liver are important for fish to adapt to adverse environments. We used a combined multi-omics analysis to investigate the response mechanism of hybrid sturgeon to continuously played ship noise. A control group and a noise group (simulated ship noise: 12 h) were set up, and liver tissues were extracted for high-throughput transcriptome and metabolome sequencing. The results show that a total of 588 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 58 DEGs metabolites were detected. The joint analysis of transcriptome and metabolome showed that under noise stress, apoptosis and cell motility were intensified, DNA replication, RNA transcription and translation, and protein synthesis were inhibited, and lipid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, and vitamin D3 metabolic pathways were also inhibited. Interestingly, the initiation of a partial immune responses ensured their normal immunity abilities. Moreover, material and energy requirements of the organism under noise stress were guaranteed by upregulation of carbohydrate and amino acid metabolic pathways.

Abstract
Antibiotics are widely consumed in the intensive mariculture industry. A better understanding of the effect of antibiotics on intergenerational antibiotic resistance in organisms is urgent since intergenerational transmission is crucial for the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. Herein, marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) chronically exposed to low doses of sulfamethazine (SMZ) hormetically affected the progeny, characterized by increased richness and diversity of fecal microbiota and intestinal barrier-related gene up-regulation. Progeny immunity was modulated and caused by genetic factors due to the absence of significant SMZ accumulation in F1 embryos. In addition, some of the top genera in the progeny were positively correlated with immune diseases, while the expression of some immune-related genes, such as TNFα, IL1R2, and TLR3 changed significantly. This further indicated that the host selection caused by changes in progeny immunity was probably the primary determinant of progeny intestinal microbial colonization. Metagenomic analysis revealed that Proteobacteria represented the primary carriers of ARGs, while parental SMZ exposure facilitated the distribution and enrichment of multiple ARGs involved in the antibiotic inactivation in the progeny by promoting the diversity of Gammaproteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, further illustrating that antibiotic selection pressure persisted even if the offspring were not exposed. Therefore, SMZ induced hormesis in the progeny at the expense of increasing antibiotic resistance. Collectively, these findings provide a comprehensive overview of the intergenerational effect of antibiotics and serve as a reminder that the ARG transmission induced by the intergenerational impact of antibiotics on organisms should not be ignored.

Abstract
Scientists often set ambitious targets using environmental metabolomics to address challenging ecotoxicological issues. This promising approach has a high potential to elucidate the mechanisms of action (MeOAs) of contaminants (in hazard assessments) and to develop biomarkers (in environmental biomonitoring). However, metabolomics fingerprints often involve a complex mixture of molecular effects that are hard to link to a specific MeOA (if detected in the analytical conditions used). Given these promises and limitations, here we propose an updated review on the achievements of this approach. Metabolomics-based studies conducted on the effects of pharmaceutical active compounds in aquatic organisms provide a relevant means to review the achievements of this approach, as prior knowledge about the MeOA of these molecules could help overcome some shortcomings. This review highlighted that current metabolomics advances have enabled more accurate MeOA assessment, especially when combined with other omics approaches. The combination of metabolomics with other measured biological endpoints has also turned out to be an efficient way to link molecular effects to (sub)-individual adverse outcomes, thereby paving the way to the construction of adverse outcome pathways (AOPs). Here, we also discuss the importance of determining MeOA as a key strategy in the identification of MeOA-specific biomarkers for biomonitoring. We have put forward some recommendations to take full advantage of environmental metabolomics and thus help fulfil these promises.

Abstract
The individual and combined toxicity of antibiotics and nanoplastics in marine organisms has received increasing attention. However, many studies have been mostly focused on the impacts on the directly exposed generation (F0). In this study, intergenerational effects of sulfamethazine (SMZ) and nanoplastic fragments (polystyrene, PS) on the growth and the gut microbiota of marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) were investigated. The results showed that parental exposure to dietary SMZ (4.62 mg/g) alone and PS (3.45 mg/g) alone for 30 days decreased the body weight (by 13.41% and 34.33%, respectively) and altered the composition of gut microbiota in F1 males (two months after hatching). Interestingly, parental exposure to the mixture of SMZ and PS caused a more modest decrease in the body weight of F1 males than the PS alone (15.60% vs 34.33%). The hepatic igf1 level and the relative abundance of the host energy metabolism related phylum Bacteroidetes for the SMZ + PS group were significantly higher than those for the PS group (igf1, increased by 97.1%; Bacteroidetes, 2.876% vs 0.375%), suggesting that the parentally derived mixture of SMZ and PS might influence the first microbial colonization of gut in a different way to the PS alone. This study contributes to a better understanding of the long-term risk of antibiotics and nanoplastics to marine organisms.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 803:150080. [PMID: 34525742 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.150080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2021] [Revised: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 08/29/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Sulisobenzone (BP-4) is one of the benzophenone type UV filters most frequently detected in aquatic ecosystems. As a suspected endocrine disrupting compound, scarce information is available yet about other molecular effects and its mechanism of action. Here, we used an integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic approach to improve the current understanding on the toxicity of BP-4 towards aquatic species. Gilt-head sea bream individuals were exposed at environmentally relevant concentrations (10 μg L-1) for 22 days. Transcriptomic analysis revealed 371 differentially expressed genes in liver while metabolomic analysis identified 123 differentially modulated features in plasma and 118 in liver. Integration of transcriptomic and metabolomic data showed disruption of the energy metabolism (>10 pathways related to the metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates were impacted) and lipid metabolism (5 glycerophospholipids and the expression of 3 enzymes were affected), suggesting oxidative stress. We also observed, for the first time in vivo and at environmental relevant concentrations, the disruption of several enzymes involved in the steroid and thyroid hormones biosynthesis. DNA and RNA synthesis was also impacted by changes in the purine and pyrimidine metabolisms. Overall, the multiomic workflow presented here increases the evidence on suspected effects of BP-4 exposure and identifies additional modes of action of the compounds that could have been overlooked by using single omic approaches.

Subchronic toxicity of dietary sulfamethazine and nanoplastics in marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma): Insights from the gut microbiota and intestinal oxidative status. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 226:112820.

Abstract
Antibiotics and nanoplastics are two prevalent pollutants in oceans, posing a great threat to marine ecosystems. As antibiotics and nanoplastics are highly bioconcentrated in lower trophic levels, evaluating their impacts on marine organisms via dietary exposure route is of great importance. In this study, the individual and joint effects of dietborne sulfamethazine (SMZ) and nanoplastic fragments (polystyrene, PS) in marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) were investigated. After 30 days of dietary exposure, 4.62 mg/g SMZ decreased the Chao1 index (60.86% for females and 26.85% for males) and the Shannon index (68.95% for females and 65.05% for males) and significantly altered the structure of gut microbial communities in both sexes. The female fish exposed to 4.62 mg/g SMZ exhibited higher intestinal sod (43.5%), cat (38.5%) and gpx (39.6%) transcripts, indicating oxidative stress in the gut. PS alone at 3.45 mg/g slightly altered the composition of the gut microbiota. Interestingly, the mixture of SMZ and PS caused more modest effects on the gut microbiota and intestinal antioxidant physiology than the SMZ alone, suggesting that the presence of PS might alleviate the intestinal toxicity of SMZ in a scenario of dietary co-exposure. This study helps better understand the risk of antibiotics and nanoplastics to marine ecosystems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sulfamethazine (SMZ), a veterinary drug widely used in animal husbandry, is harmful to human health when excess residues are present in food. In this study, a fast, reliable, and sensitive immunochromatographic assay (ICA) was developed on the basis of the competitive format by using time-resolved fluorescent nanobeads (TRFN) as label for the detection of SMZ in egg, honey, and pork samples. RESULTS Under optimized working conditions, this method had limits of detection of 0.016, 0.049, and 0.029 ng mL-1 and corresponding linear ranges of 0.05 to 1.00, 0.05 to 5.00, and 0.05 to 1.00 ng mL-1 in egg, honey, and pork samples, respectively. The recovery experiments showed that the average recoveries ranged from 90.5% to 113.9%, 82.4% to 112.0%, and 79.8% to 93.4% with corresponding coefficients of variation of 4.1% to 11.7%, 7.5% to 11.5%, and 4.8% to 8.7% for egg, honey, and pork samples, respectively. The developed TRFN-ICA was also systematically compared with high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) by analyzing 45 actual samples from egg, honey, and pork. CONCLUSION Overall, the developed TRFN-ICA had high reliability and excellent potential for the ultrasensitive detection of SMZ for food safety monitoring, also providing a universal platform for the on-site detection of other targets. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
There has long been a great concern with growing anthropogenic contaminants and their ecological and toxicological effects on living organisms and the surrounding environment for decades. Metabolomics, a functional readout of cellular activity, can capture organismal responses to various contaminant-related stressors, acquiring direct signatures to illustrate the environmental behaviours of anthropogenic contaminants better. This review entails the application of metabolomics to profile metabolic responses of environmental organisms, e.g. animals (rodents, fish, crustacean and earthworms) and microorganisms (bacteria, yeast and microalgae) to different anthropogenic contaminants, including heavy metals, nanomaterials, pesticides, pharmaceutical and personal products, persistent organic pollutants, and assesses their ecotoxicological impacts with regard to literature published in the recent five years. Contaminant-induced metabolism alteration and up/down-regulation of metabolic pathways are revealed in typical organisms. The obtained insights of variations in global metabolism provide a distinct understanding of how anthropogenic contaminants exert influences on specific metabolic pathways on living organisms. Thus with a novel ecotechnique of environmental metabolomics, risk assessments of anthropogenic contaminants are profoundly demonstrated.

Abstract
To investigate the cytotoxicity of deoxynivalenol (DON) on human embryo liver CCC-HEL-1 and hepatoma cell line HepG2 cell models, both cell experience and metabolomic approach were studied. For the cell evaluation, cells viabilities of CCC-HEL-1 and HepG2 were decreased in both a time- and dose-dependent manner at concentration range from 0.08~10 μmol/l, after which the concentration of 1 μmol/l DON was selected for the next experiments. A higher production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in DON treated CCC-HEL-1 cells was found after 2 h treatment compared with the HepG2 group, while ROS generation was significantly dropped after 48 h in both models. DON-treated CCC-HEL-1 and HepG2 cells displayed significantly decreased percentages of ΔΨm loss. For the metabolomic study based on liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry, it was notable that certain amino acids identified in the two DON-treated groups were upregulated. The pathway analysis also revealed that amino acid metabolism played a crucial role underlying DON exposure in the two studied models. Our results provided metabolic evidence that further confirmed the toxicological potential of DON to disturb amino acid and lipid metabolism in human embryo liver cells.

Abstract
To produce albinism in the marine medaka Oryzias melastigma, we disrupted the solute carrier family 45 (SLC45a2) gene by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 with a single guide RNA (sgRNA). Selected sgRNAs were able to target a SLC45a2 gene as confirmed by genotyping and heteroduplex mobility assay (HMA). Of the survived embryos after injection, 54.2% and 60.0% embryos exhibited albinism phenotype by sgRNA1 and sgRNA2, respectively. Deep sequencing at the on-target sites showed different insertion and deletion (indel) mutation profiles near the DNA cleavage sites, indicating high efficacy of producing SLC45a2 knock-out mutants by this method. Moreover, HMA at the potential off-target sites revealed that off-target activity would be induced at a low rate, or not induced at all. This albino marine medaka will be a good model for marine molecular ecotoxicology in establishment of diverse in vivo endpoints, and the application of this efficient gene targeting method in the marine medaka would be useful tool for mechanistic approaches.

Abstract
Elucidation of the relationships between nanoparticle properties and ecotoxicity is a fundamental issue for environmental applications and risk assessment of nanoparticles. However, effective strategies to connect the various properties of nanoparticles with their ecotoxicity remain largely unavailable. Herein, an untargeted metabolic pathway analysis was employed to investigate the environmental risk posed by 10 typical nanoparticles (AgNPs, CuNPs, FeNPs, ZnONPs, SiO2NPs, TiO2NPs, GO, GOQDs, SWCNTs, and C60) to rice (a staple food for half of the world's population). Downregulation of carbohydrate metabolism and upregulation of amino acid metabolism were the two dominant metabolic effects induced by all tested nanoparticles. Partial least-squares regression analysis indicated that a zerovalent metal and high specific surface area positively contributed to the downregulation of carbohydrate metabolism, indicating strong abiotic stress. In contrast, the carbon type, the presence of a spherical or sheet shape, and the absence of oxygen functional groups in the nanoparticles positively contributed to the upregulation of amino acid metabolism, indicating adaptation to abiotic stress. Moreover, network relationships among five properties of nanoparticles were established for these metabolic pathways. The results of the present study will aid in the understanding and prediction of environmental risks and in the design of environmentally friendly nanoparticles.

Abstract
The study analyzed the correlation between the antibiotic-induced feeding depression and body size reduction in rotifer, Brachionus calyciflorus, involving exposure, post-exposure and re-exposure periods. The filtration and ingestion rates of the rotifers were inhibited in these three exposure periods at any given concentration of the antibiotic sulfamethazine (SMZ). As food for rotifer, the cell size of the green algae was unchanged, which indicated that it could not drive feeding depression. Secondly, several corresponding physiological responses were considered. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels increased in the post-exposure and the re-exposure; acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was significantly decreased in the exposure and the re-exposure, whereas it was induced in the post-exposure. The activities of amylase and lipase were always inhibited in these three exposure periods. Additionally, significant decreases in lorica length, width and biovolume of rotifers occurred after the feeding depression. Statistical analysis indicated a positive correlation between the activity of the digestive enzyme and the body size. Our results demonstrated that SMZ could influence the neurotransmission, inhibit the activity of the digestive enzyme, and finally result in body size reduction. These results provided an integrated perspective on assessing the toxicity effects of antibiotic in non-lethal dosage on the feeding behavior of non-target aquatic organisms.
