[PMID: 38914580 PMCID: PMC11196265 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-64282-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The joint impact of tadalafil (Cilais) as a pharmaceutical residue and microplastics on fish is not well comprehended. The current study examined haematological, biochemical, and antioxidant parameters, along with immunohistochemical and histological indications in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) after being exposed to tadalafil, polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs), and their mixtures for 15 days. The fish were distributed into 1st group control group (The fish was maintained in untreated water without any supplements); 2nd group exposed to 10 mg/L PE-MPs;3rd group exposed to 20 mg/l tadalafil (Cilais); 4th group exposed to 20 mg/l tadalafil (Cilais) + 10 mg/LPE-MPs (in triplicate). The levels of creatinine, uric acid, glucose, AST, ALT, and albumin in fish treated with tadalafil alone or in combination with PE-MPs were significantly higher than those in the control group. Fish exposed to PE-MPs, tadalafil, and tadalafil plus PE-MPs showed significantly lower levels of RBCs, Hb, Ht, neutrophils, and lymphocytes compared to the control group. Serum levels of total antioxidant capacity and reduced glutathione (GSH) were notably lowered in fish groups subjected to PE-MPs, tadalafil, and tadalafil + PE-MPs combinations in comparison to the control group. Malondialdehyde (MDA) serum levels were notably elevated in fish groups subjected to PE-MPs, tadalafil, and tadalafil + PE-MPs combinations compared to the control group. The most severe impact was observed in the tadalafil + PE-MPs combination group. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were significantly increased in liver tissues following exposure to both tadalafil and microplastics compared to tissues exposed to only one substance or the control group. Changes in the gills, liver, and renal tissues were seen following exposure to PE-MPs, tadalafil, and tadalafil + PE-MPs combination in comparison to the control group of fish. Ultimately, the mixture of tadalafil and PE-MPs resulted in the most detrimental outcomes. Tadalafil and PE-MPs exhibited showed greater adverse effects, likely due to tadalafil being absorbed onto PE-MPs.

Abstract
This research was conducted to validate the beneficial effects of incorporating dietary cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) powder (CzP) in alleviating lead (Pb) poisoning in fish. Healthy Catla catla individuals (16.36 ± 0.19 g/fish) were distributed across 18 tanks in triplicate groups. The experimental groups were as follows: Control group: fish without supplementation or exposure to Pb; positive control group: fish without supplementation but exposed to 1 mg/L Pb; 5 g/kg CzP along with 1 mg/L Pb exposure; 10 g/kg CzP along with 1 mg/L Pb exposure; 15 g/kg CzP along with 1 mg/L Pb exposure; and 20 g/kg CzP along with 1 mg/L Pb exposure. The trial continued for a period of 60 days. Waterborne Pb had a deleterious effect on fish growth performance, body composition, blood profile, and digestive enzyme activity, along with elevated Pb accumulation in various tissues. Conversely, consumption of cinnamon effectively mitigated the toxic potential of Pb and enhanced fish longevity. Notably, 10 g/kg CzP boosted growth, improved carcass quality, reversed blood indices, restored enzyme function in the gut, and mitigated Pb accumulation in tissues. In summary, the findings revealed that incorporating 10 g/kg of CzP as a dietary supplement in C. catla aquaculture could effectively counteract heavy metal toxicity.

Ecotoxicological responses of juvenile Sparus aurata to BDE-99 and BPA exposure: A multi-biomarker approach integrating immune, endocrine and oxidative endpoints. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 920:170989. [PMID: 38365038 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170989] [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: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
Pentabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-99) and bisphenol A (BPA) are synthetic organic compounds present in several daily use products. Due to their physicochemical properties, they are ubiquitously present in aquatic ecosystems and considered highly persistent. Recent evidence has confirmed that both emerging compounds are toxic to humans and terrestrial mammals eliciting a wide range of detrimental effects at endocrine and immune levels. However, the ecotoxicological responses that they can trigger in vertebrate marine species have not yet been established. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the ecotoxicological responses of juvenile Sparus aurata upon chronic (28 days) dietary exposure to BDE-99 and BPA (alone and combined) following an integrated multi-biomarker approach that combined fitness indicators (Fulton's K and splenosomatic indexes) with endocrine [cortisol, 17β-estradiol (E2), 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) concentrations] and immune (peroxidase and antiprotease activities) endpoints in fish plasma, and oxidative stress [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities, and lipid peroxidation (LPO)] endpoints in the fish spleen. The mixture of BDE-99 and BPA yielded the highest IBR index value in both plasma and spleen biomarkers, therefore, suggesting that the effects of these compounds are more severe when they act together. Endocrine biomarkers were the most responsive in the three contaminated treatments. Fitness indicators were not affected by the individual nor the interactive effects of BDE-99 and BPA. These findings highlight the relevance of accounting for the interactive effects of emerging chemical contaminants and integrating responses associated with distinct biological pathways when investigating their impacts on marine life, as such a multi-biomarker approach provides a broader, more realistic and adequate perspective of challenges faced by fish in a contaminated environment.

Abstract
Nanocomposites are an emerging technology for ensuring food safety and quality. Their unique properties, attributed to nanoparticle presence, facilitate the development of sophisticated sensors and biosensors for detecting harmful substances, microbial growth, and environmental changes in food products. Smart and/or active food packaging development also benefits from the use of nanocomposites. This packaging, or portions of it, provide active protection for its contents and serve as sensors to promptly, simply, and safely identify any detrimental changes in stored food, without elaborate techniques or analyses. Films made from potato starch and chitosan were produced and quantum dots of zinc sulfide (ZnS) and cadmium sulfide (CdS)were synthesized in them for this study. The presence and dimensions of the QDs (quantum dots) were examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy. The study aimed to establish the toxicity profile of a starch-chitosan bionanocomposite integrated with ZnS and CdS quantum dots. Cytotoxic and genotoxic features were assessed through cytogenetic instability assessments, consisting of the alkaline comet assay, erythrocyte micronucleus assay, and peripheral blood cell viability analysis of a laboratory mouse model.

Abstract
Exposure to BPA is recently shown to affect cartilage development in teleost fishes; whether BPS and BPAF, its two most frequently used phenolic analogues have similar effect, however, remains unclear. Here, we utilize zebrafish (Danio rerio) as an in-vivo larval model for systematic comparison of the pharyngeal arch-derived cartilage developmental toxicity of BPA, BPS and BPAF. Zebrafish are continuously exposed to three bisphenol analogues (3-BPs) at a range of concentrations since the embryonic stage (0.5 hpf), and identified cartilage malformations of the mandibular and hyoid pharyngeal arches at larval stage (120 hpf). BPA and BPAF prolong length and broaden cartilage angles; however, BPS shortens length and narrows the angles of skull cartilages. The results of the comparative transcriptome show that FoxO and MAPK signaling pathways are closely associated with the toxicity of BPA and BPAF, while BPS exposure affects energy metabolism-related pathways. Moreover, exposure to 3-BPs have an impact on the oxidative stress status. Our data collectively indicate that BPS and BPAF may not be safer than BPA regarding the impact on pharyngeal cartilage development in fish model, the mechanisms still need explorations, and that these two analogues should be applied with caution.

Abstract
Bisphenol A is classified as a high production volume chemical commonly used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins and thermal paper. The endocrine disrupting properties of this xenobiotic have led to the restriction and prohibition of its use in many consumer products. To date, many chemical compounds with a chemical structure similar to bisphenol A have been used in consumer products as its replacement. The ubiquitous occurrence of bisphenol A and its substitutes in the environment and their endocrine activity as well as adverse effects on aquatic organisms is a global concern, especially because many available literature reports show that many substitutes (e.g. bisphenol AF, bisphenol AP, bisphenol B, bisphenol C, bisphenol F, bisphenol G, bisphenol FL, tetrabromobisphenol A) exert adverse effects on aquatic organisms, similar to, or even stronger than bisphenol A. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the production, sources, occurrence and associated toxicity, as well as the endocrine activity of bisphenol A and its substitutes on aquatic species. The environmental levels and ecotoxicological data presented in this review allowed for a preliminary assessment and prediction of the risk of bisphenol A and its substitutes for aquatic organisms. Furthermore, the data collected in this paper highlight that several compounds applied in bisphenol A-free products are not safe alternatives and regulations regarding their use should be introduced.

Abstract
Aquatic ecosystems have become a place for accumulating microplastics (MPs). MPs can directly or indirectly damage organisms. Although studies of the toxicity of MPs, there are insufficient literature reports on the effects of MPs on freshwater aquatic life. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of MPs toxicity on Cyprinus carpio. In this study, biochemical parameters, oxidative biomarkers, and gene expression were assayed in fish exposed to 0, 175, 350, 700, and 1400 μg L-1 of MPs for 30 days. MPs were detected in the liver and intestine of fish using FTIR-analysis. Mt1, Ces2, and P450 mRNA expression were enhanced in the hepatocytes of fish exposed to MPs, while Mt2 gene expression was significantly decreased. After exposure to MPs, MDA and carbonyl protein levels were higher than those of the reference group. The antioxidant capacity and glycogen contents in the hepatocytes significantly declined. MPs significantly inhibited glutathione reductase (GR), glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), and catalase (CAT) activities. However, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities increased. MPs decreased the total protein, globulin levels, and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity in blood. In contrast, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activities increased in treated-fish with MPs. Glucose, creatinine, cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in fish exposed to MPs were significantly higher than that of the reference group. Consequently, MPs exposure could disrupt biochemical homeostasis, oxidative stress and alter the expression of genes involved in detoxification.

Abstract
Our previous study reported that prenatal caffeine exposure (PCE) could induce chondrodysplasia and increase the susceptibility to osteoarthritis in offspring rats. However, the potential mechanisms and initiating factors remain unknown. This study aims to investigate whether 11β-HSD2, a glucocorticoid-metabolizing enzyme, is involved in the susceptibility of osteoarthritis induced by PCE and to further explore its potential mechanisms and initiating factors. Firstly, we found that PCE reduced cartilage matrix synthesis (aggrecan/Col2a1 expression) in male adult offspring rats and exhibited an osteoarthritis phenotype following chronic stress, which was associated with persistently reduced H3K9ac and H3K27ac levels at the promoter of 11β-HSD2 as well as its expression in the cartilage from fetus to adulthood. The expression of 11β-HSD2, aggrecan and Col2a1 were all decreased by corticosterone in the fetal chondrocytes, while overexpression of 11β-HSD2 could partially alleviate the decrease of matrix synthesis induced by corticosterone in vitro. Furthermore, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) activated by glucocorticoids directly bonded to the promoter region of 11β-HSD2 to inhibit its expression. Meanwhile, the activated GR reduced the H3K9ac and H3K27ac levels of 11β-HSD2 by recruiting HDAC4 and promoting GR-HDAC4 protein interaction to inhibit the 11β-HSD2 expression. Moreover, caffeine could reduce the expression of 11β-HSD2 by inhibiting the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway but without reducing the H3K9ac and H3K27ac levels of 11β-HSD2, thereby synergistically enhancing the corticosterone effect. In conclusion, the persistently reduced H3K9ac and H3K27ac levels of 11β-HSD2 from fetus to adulthood mediated the inhibition of cartilage matrix synthesis and the increased susceptibility to osteoarthritis. This epigenetic programming change in utero was induced by glucocorticoids with synergistic effect of caffeine.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is one of the widely used organophosphorus pesticides in agriculture activities and its presence in the aquatic environment has been broadly recorded. In the present study, we investigated the effect of CPF exposure on oxidative stress, innate immunity, sexual hormones, and DNA integrity of female African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, in addition to the potential use of dietary supplementation of papaya, Carica papaya (CP), extract against CPF toxicity. Apparent healthy female catfish (300 ± 10 g) were divided into four groups with three replicates each. The first group served as the negative control (fed on a basal diet) and the other groups exposed to CPF (8.75 µg/L) with or without CP extract (250 mg/kg body weight) for six weeks. The results revealed that CPF exposure exhibited marked elevations in stress markers (glucose and cortisol), serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase activities, testosterone, and luteinizing hormone level. Moreover, CPF increased the percentage of hepatic DNA damage. In addition, catfish exposed to CPF experienced significant decline in serum total protein, albumin, follicles stimulating hormone, estradiol hormone levels, AChE, immunoglobulin, and lysozyme activity. CPF induced significantly oxidative stress in hepatic and renal tissues. The dietary supplementation with CP extract at a level of 250 mg/kg body weight succeeded to alleviate the negative effects of CPF on the physiological, immunological, and antioxidant status of female catfish. In addition, CP extract alleviated the endocrine disruption and hepatic DNA damage and counteracted the subchronic CPF toxicity in female African catfish. Finally, the CP extract may be used as a feed additive in the aquatic diet.
