Wang H, Xu C, Wen A, Du Y, Yuan S, Yu H, Guo Y, Cheng Y, Qian H, Yao W. The adsorption-desorption behavior of chlorothalonil in the cuticles of apple and red jujube. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 935:173195. [PMID: 38750752 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173195] [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: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/27/2024]
Abstract
The distribution fate of chlorothalonil (CHT) in the environment (soil and water) and fruits is controlled by the capacity of cuticles to adsorb and desorb CHT, which directly affects the safety of both the environment and fruits. Batch experiments were conducted to reveal the adsorption-desorption behaviors of CHT in the cuticles of apple and red jujube. The adsorption kinetics showed that both physisorption and chemisorption occurred during the adsorption process. Furthermore, the isothermal adsorption of CHT in the fruit cuticles followed the Freundlich model. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔG ≤ -26.16 kJ/mol, ΔH ≥ 31.05 kJ/mol, ΔS ≥ 0.20 kJ/(mol K) showed that the whole CHT adsorption process was spontaneous, and the hydrophobic interaction was predominant. The CHT adsorption capacity of the apple cuticle was higher than that of the red jujube cuticle, potentially due to the significantly higher alkanes content of apples than that of red jujubes. An appropriate ionic strength (0.01 moL/L) could induce a higher adsorption capacity. In addition, the desorption kinetics were shown to conform to a Quasi-first-order model, meaning that not all the adsorbed CHT could be easily desorbed. The desorption ratios in apple and red jujube cuticles were 41.38% and 35.64%, respectively. The results of Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy further confirmed that CHT could be adsorbed and retained in the fruit cuticles. Investigating the adsorption-desorption behavior of CHT in the apple and red jujube cuticles allowed to determine the ratio of its final distribution in the fruits and environment, providing a theoretical basis to evaluate the risk of residue pesticide.

Abstract
Zebrafish being the best animal model to study, every attempt has been made to decipher the toxic mechanism of every fungicide of usage and interest. It is important to understand the multiple targets of a toxicant to estimate the toxic potential in its totality. A total of 22 fungicides of different classes like amisulbrom, azoxystrobin, carbendazim, carboxin, chlorothalonil, difenoconazole, etridiazole, flusilazole, fluxapyroxad, hexaconazole, kresoxim methyl, mancozeb, myclobutanil, prochloraz, propiconazole, propineb, pyraclostrobin, tebuconazole, thiophanate-methyl, thiram, trifloxystrobin and ziram were reviewed and analyzed for their multiple explored targets in zebrafish. Toxic end points in zebrafish are highly informative when it comes to network analysis. They provide a window into the molecular and cellular pathways that are affected by a certain toxin. This can then be used to gain insights into the underlying mechanisms of toxicity and to draw conclusions on the potential of a particular compound to induce toxicity. This knowledge can then be used to inform decisions about drug development, environmental regulation, and other areas of research. In addition, the use of zebrafish toxic end points can also be used to better understand the effects of environmental pollutants on ecosystems. By understanding the pathways affected by a given toxin, researchers can determine how pollutants may interact with the environment and how this could lead to health or environmental impacts.

Abstract
The intestinal barrier maintains intestinal homeostasis and metabolism and protects against harmful pollutants. Some environmental pollutants seriously affect intestinal barrier function. However, it remains unclear whether or how chlorothalonil (CTL) impacts the intestinal barrier function in animals. Herein, 6-week-old male mice were acutely exposed to different CTL concentrations (100 and 300 mg/kg BW) via intragastric administration once a day for 7 days. Histopathological examination revealed obvious inflammation in the mice' colon and ileum. Most notably, CTL exposure increased the intestinal permeability, particularly in the CTL-300 group. CTL exposure reduced the secretion of colonic epithelial mucus and changed the transcription levels of genes bound up with ion transport and ileal antimicrobial peptide (AMP) secretion, indicating intestinal chemical barrier damage. The results of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) assay and Ki67 staining revealed abnormal apoptosis and increased intestinal epithelial cell proliferation, suggesting that CTL exposure led to cytotoxicity and inflammation. The results of 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that CTL exposure altered the intestinal microbiota composition and reduced its diversity and richness in the colon contents. Thus, acute CTL exposure affected the different intestinal barrier- and gut microenvironment-related endpoints in mice.

Abstract
Chlorothalonil is a fungicide widely used in agriculture as well as an active ingredient in antifouling paints. Although it causes toxic effects on non-target organisms and can accumulate in fish tissues, little is known about its sublethal effects. Thus, genotoxic and mutagenic effects of intraperitoneal injected chlorothalonil in Micropogonias furnieri, an estuarine fish of frequent human consumption and a promising test-organism for ecotoxicological assays, were assessed. Chlorothalonil showed to be genotoxic (DNA damage by comet assay) and mutagenic (micronuclei, nuclear buds, apoptotic fragments, and bilobed cells) even at the lowest dose tested (0.35 μg g-1) and in a dose-dependent manner (0.35 and 3.5 μg g-1) for micronuclei, apoptotic fragments, and bilobed cells. As genomic instability may lead to carcinogenesis, the present evidence can assist decision-makers in banning this compound since any benefit toward food production is outweighed by the hazard to aquatic ecosystems and human health.

Abstract
The U.S. EPA frequently uses avian or fish toxicity data to set protective standards for amphibians in ecological risk assessments. However, this approach does not always adequately represent aquatic-dwelling and terrestrial-phase amphibian exposure data. For instance, it is accepted that early life stage tests for fish are typically sensitive enough to protect larval amphibians, however, metamorphosis from tadpole to a terrestrial-phase adult relies on endocrine cues that are less prevalent in fish but essential for amphibian life stage transitions. These differences suggest that more robust approaches are needed to adequately elucidate the impacts of pesticide exposure in amphibians across critical life stages. Therefore, in the current study, methodology is presented that can be applied to link the perturbations in the metabolomic response of larval zebrafish (Danio rerio), a surrogate species frequently used in ecotoxicological studies, to those of African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) tadpoles following exposure to three high-use pesticides, bifenthrin, chlorothalonil, or trifluralin. Generally, D. rerio exhibited greater metabolic perturbations in both number and magnitude across the pesticide exposures as opposed to X. laevis. This suggests that screening ecological risk assessment surrogate toxicity data would sufficiently protect amphibians at the single life stage studied but care needs to be taken to understand the suite of metabolic requirements of each developing species. Ultimately, methodology presented, and data gathered herein will help inform the applicability of metabolomic profiling in establishing the risk pesticide exposure poses to amphibians and potentially other non-target species.

Abstract
The widespread use of chlorothalonil (CTL) has caused environmental residues and food contamination. Although the intestinal epithelial barrier (IEB) is directly involved in the metabolism and transportation of various exogenous compounds, there are few studies on the toxic effects of these compounds on the structure and function of IEB. The disassembly of tight junction (TJ) is a major cause of intestinal barrier dysfunction under exogenous compounds intake, but the precise mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we used Caco-2 cell monolayers as an in vitro model of human IEB to evaluate the toxicity of CTL exposure on the structure and function of IEB. Results showed that CTL exposure increased the paracellular permeability of the monolayers and downregulated mRNA levels of the TJ genes (ZO-1, OCLN, and CLDN1), polarity marker gene (SI), and anti-apoptosis gene (BCL-2) but upregulated the mRNA levels of apoptosis-related genes, including BAD, BAX, CASP3, and CASP8. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence assay results showed the decreased levels and disrupted distribution of TJ protein network, including ZO-1 and CLDN1 in CTL-exposed IEB. In addition, the accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, and increased active CASP3 expression were observed in treated IEB. The result of TUNEL assay further confirmed the occurrence of cell apoptosis after CTL exposure. In addition, the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases, including ERK, JNK and p38, was increased in CTL-exposed IEB. In summary, our results demonstrated that CTL exposure induced IEB dysfunction in Caco-2 cell monolayers by activating the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway.

Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2021; 245:109035.

Abstract
Fucoidans are sulfated glycans from marine algae that have both anti-cancer and anti-microbial properties. Chlorothalonil is a fungicide and insecticide commonly used in agriculture. Chlorothalonil is relatively toxic to fish and can potentially affect the aquaculture practices. In this study, we determined whether fucoidan administration would offer any protection from acute and subchronic toxicity of chlorothalonil on Nile tilapia. First, we tested the effect of chlorothalonil (20 to 140 μg/L, water-applied) on Nile tilapia in an acute exposure (six days). Survival analysis was performed, together with assessment of histopathology, oxidative stress (i.e., antioxidant status, hydrogen peroxide levels, malondialdehyde and nitric oxide levels) and immunohistochemistry to measure indicators of hepatic damage (i.e., caspase 3, p53, mini-chromosome maintenance proteins (MCM), and glutathione peroxidase). Chlorothalonil induced mild to severe histopathological alterations that were dose-dependent in various tissues of Nile tilapia. Chlorothalonil also induced oxidative stress as indicated by elevated biochemical markers. The highest recorded mortalities were associated with p53 expression. Additional feeding experiments were conducted with fucoidan (8 g/kg diet), following acute (40 μg/L for seven days) and sub-chronic (20 μg/L for six weeks) chlorothalonil application in Nile tilapia. Many of these same biochemical biomarkers of stress, oxidative damage response, and tissue pathology (evidence for hepatic neoplasm) were ameliorated by fucoidan, suggesting a protective effect of the compound. Agrochemicals are ubiquitous on a global scale, and the use of fucoidan as a feed additive may be beneficial for protecting aquatic animal health and aquaculture species from the impacts of chemical run-off.

Abstract
Cypermethrin (CYP) is a synthetic pyrethroid broadly used for pest control, however, it is extremely toxic to aquatic organisms. To assess the toxicity of CYP in red claw crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus, transcriptional and proteomic approaches combining two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and tandem mass spectrometry were used to compare the hepatic expression profiles. A total of 41,349 unigenes and 8839 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained, which were enriched in the process. The category of 779 (0.625 ng L-1 CYP vs Con), 1963 (1.25 vs Con), and 2066 (1.25 vs 0.625) DEGs were screened. All findings suggested that CYP can induce antioxidant and biotransformation modulation variations in C. quadricarinatus to resist immunotoxicity and oxidative damages. The category of 196 (0.625 ng L-1 CYP vs Con) specific proteins were differentially expressed: 24 proteins were upregulated, and 20 proteins were downregulated relative to CYP. Protein identification indicated the KEGG pathways of the human immunodeficiency virus 1 infection, insulin signaling pathway, and influenza A enriched. From the differential expression of the selected nine proteins, the increased Loc113824800, Rps19, Atp2, Rps10, Hsp40, Brafldraft_124327, and the decreased Loc117331934, Loc113213835, and Loc106806551 revealed. While for the verification of the eight genes in transcriptome and the above nine genes in proteomic, specifically, gpx5, ggt, loc106458463, chelonianin decreased in the 0.625 ng L-1 CYP group. The transcripts of loc113816050, akr1d1 and gst, chelonianin and loc108675455 decreased and increased in the 1.25 ng L-1 CYP group, respectively. The present study reflects the overall change in cellular structure and metabolism related to the resistance of pyrethroid insecticides.

Abstract
Chlorothalonil (CT) is a commonly used fungicide and its excessive application seriously threatens aquatic life and human health. Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural polyphenol and can be used as a therapeutic and preventive agent for the treatment of various diseases. To explore the toxic mechanism of CT exposure on fish kidney cell, as well as the alleviation effect of RSV, we established CT poisoning and/or RSV treatment fish kidney cell models. Ctenopharyngodon idellus kidney (CIK) cell line was treated with CT (5 μg/L) and/or RSV (10 μM) for 48 h. The results showed that CT exposure activated cytochromeP450s (CYPs) including CYP1A1, CYP1B1 and CYP1C, caused malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation, inhibited glutathione (GSH) levels and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities, increased the expression of miR-15a and downregulated BCL2 and TNFα-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3, A20), triggered mitochondrial pathway mediated apoptosis and receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase (RIP)-dependent necroptosis in CIK cells. However, cell death under CT exposure could be relieved by RSV treatment through inhibiting the expression of CYP1 family genes and restoring miR-15a/BCL2-A20 axis disorders. Overall, we conclude that RSV could relieve CT-induced apoptosis and necroptosis through miR-15a/Bcl2-A20 axis in CIK cells. These results enrich the toxicological mechanisms of the CT and confirm that RSV can be used as a potential antidote for CT poisoning.

Abstract
Photocatalytic oxidation treatment is an emerging and fast developed eco-friendly, energy-saving, and efficient advanced oxidation technology for degrading hazardous pesticides. The conventional chemical detection to evaluate the effects for this process depends on the broken chemical structure, only giving residual content and product chemical composition. However, it misses direct visual detection on the toxicity and the quantitative analysis of pesticide detoxification. Here, we develop a novel strategy to combine photocatalytic oxidation with a zebrafish biological model to provide a direct visual detection on the environmental detoxification. The mortality or deformity of zebrafish embryos (ZEs) acts as an indicator. Over the irradiation duration threshold, the mortality of ZEs decreases to 23.3% for pure chlorothalonil (CTL-P) after photocatalytic oxidation treatment for 1 h, and the deformity reduces to 13.3% for commercial CTL (CTL-C) after 30 min and to 3.33% for tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD) after 20 min. The toxicity of CTL-C and TMTD could be completely removed by photocatalytic oxidation treatment and causes no damage to the ZE developmental morphology. Chemical analyses demonstrate the degradation of CTL into inorganic compounds and TMTD into small organic molecules. Among these highlighted heterogeneous photocatalysts (g-C3N4, BiVO4, Ag3PO4, and P25), g-C3N4 exhibits the highest photocatalytic detoxification for CTL-P, CTL-C, and TMTD.

Abstract
Although many studies have investigated the toxic effects and even the reproductive toxicity of chlorothalonil, almost no studies have focused on the ovary, the organ of oocyte development. Puberty is a critical window for development of the female reproductive system. Therefore, this investigation aimed to explore the effects and underlying mechanisms of chlorothalonil at low doses on peripubertal mouse ovarian development. Chlorothalonil is frequently used in horticulture with short intervals between applications, therefore, vegetables and fruits may be potential sources of chlorothalonil contamination. For the first time, this study demonstrated that chlorothalonil inhibited ovarian development during puberty in mice, and at levels currently assumed to have no adverse health consequences for humans. Chlorothalonil exposure inhibited mouse ovarian development by increasing the number of primary follicles and decreasing the number of mature follicles. It acted by decreasing the levels of hormone production proteins, such as FSH receptor and estrogen receptor alpha, while increasing the levels of DNA repairing marker RAD51 and cell apoptosis. These results suggest that chlorothalonil may disrupt endocrine function and inhibit murine ovarian development. Therefore it may pose a potential health risk to female reproductive systems in other species, especially to the ovary.

Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2017; 202:85-93.

Abstract
The fungicide imazalil (IMZ) is used extensively to preserve freshness, prevent decay and control fungal infections in fruits, vegetables or other plants. Recently, some studies have reported that the real in aquatic systems have reached very high levels. Here, male adult zebrafish were exposed to 100 and 1000μg/L IMZ for 1, 7, 21days, and the gut microbiota and hepatic metabolism were evaluated. Exposure to a high concentration of IMZ for 21days decreased mucin secretion in the gut. Sequencing of the V3-V4 region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene revealed a significant increase in the diversity of gut microbiota in male zebrafish. At the phylum level, the composition of Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes was decreased, while those Fusobacteria and Firmicutes increased in the gut after exposure to 1000μg/L IMZ for 21days. At the genus level, 29 species of microorganisms were significantly changed after IMZ exposure. Based on GC/MS metabolomics analysis, 101 metabolites were observably significantly altered in the 1000μg/L IMZ-treatment group. These changed metabolites were mainly associated with the pathway of glycolysis, amino acid metabolism, and lipid metabolism. In addition, the transcription of some genes related to glycolysis and lipid metabolism, including Aco, Cpt1, Acc1, Srebp1a and Fas, was decreased significantly in the liver of zebrafish when exposed to 100 and 1000μg/L IMZ for 7 or 21days. These results indicated that exposure to IMZ could cause gut microbiota dysbiosis and metabolic disorders in adult zebrafish.

Abstract
The applications for high throughput omics technologies in environmental science have increased dramatically in recent years. Transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics have been used to study how chemicals in our environment affect both aquatic and terrestrial organisms, and the characterization of molecular initiating events is a significant goal in toxicology to better predict adverse responses to toxicants. This special journal edition demonstrates the scope of the science that leverages omics-based methods in both laboratory and wild populations within the context of environmental toxicology, ranging from fish to mammals. It is important to recognize that the environment comprises one axis of the One Health concept - the idea that human health is unequivocally intertwined to our environment and to the organisms that inhabit that environment. We have much to learn from a comparative approach, and studies that integrate the transcriptome, proteome, and the metabolome are expected to offer the most detailed mechanism-based adverse outcome pathways that are applicable for use in both environmental monitoring and risk assessment.
