Distribution, migration patterns, and food chain human health risks of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in water, sediments, and fish in the Xiangjiang River. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 930:172484. [PMID: 38631636 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172484] [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: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in freshwater systems has garnered increasing attention. A comprehensive analysis of the migration patterns, bioaccumulation, and consumer health risk of EDCs along the Xiangjiang River due to fish consumption from the river ecosystem was provided. Twenty natural and synthetic target EDCs were detected and analyzed from the water, sediments, and fish samples collected along the Xiangjiang River. There were significant correlations between the EDC concentrations in fish and the sediments. This revealed that EDCs in sediments play a dominant role in the uptake of EDCs by fish. The bioaccumulation factor and biota-sediment accumulation factor were calculated, with the highest values observed for nonylphenol. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that bisphenol A is the most reliable biological indicator of EDC contamination in fish. Furthermore, based on the threshold of toxicological concerns and the health risk with dietary intake, crucian carp and catfish from the Xiangjiang River pose a certain risk for children and pregnant women compared to grass carp. The Monte Carlo simulation results indicated a certain risk of cumulative ∑EDC exposure for local residents due to fish consumption.

Abstract
Trace of 17β-estradiol (E2) contamination in food has been a concern for its negative impacts on human health, leading to the need for an E2-monitoring system. This work reported a new simple, sensitive, and colorimetric E2 detection based on the designed repetitive-loop aptamer and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The designed aptamers (L2-L5) exhibited a higher binding capability to E2 than the original truncated aptamer (L1). Although L3-L5 aptamers exhibited the highest binding capability, only L3-aptasensor demonstrated the sensitive detection of E2 in a range of 0.05-0.8 nM, with the limit of detection at 13.1 pM. The developed L3-aptasensor was 7.7-folds more sensitive for E2 detection than the L1-aptasensor. It selectively detected E2, but not the other tested chemicals with similar structures: progesterone, genistein, diethylstilbestrol, bisphenol A, and chloramphenicol. The L3-aptasensor efficiently detected E2 spiked in milk samples within the precision acceptance criterion of recovery rates (100.1%-113.0%) and the relative standard deviations (5.24%-11.06%). These results demonstrated the development of a new aptasensor based on the designed repetitive-loop aptamer that could enhance E2-detection sensitivity and be potentially used for detecting E2 in milk samples with high accuracy and reliability.

Abstract
The marked increase in the demand for animal protein of high quality necessitates protecting animals from infectious diseases. This requires increasing the use of veterinary therapeutics. The overuse and misuse of veterinary products can cause a risk to human health either as short-term or long-term health problems. However, the biggest problem is the emergence of resistant strains of bacteria or parasites. This is in addition to economic losses due to the discarding of polluted milk or condemnation of affected carcasses. This paper discusses three key points: possible sources of drug and chemical residues, human health problems, and the possible method of control and prevention of veterinary drug residues in animal products.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2020; 263:114424. [PMID: 32247920 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.114424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2019] [Revised: 03/02/2020] [Accepted: 03/19/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Natural and synthetic steroid hormones and many persistent organic pollutants are of concern for their endocrine-disrupting activities observed in receiving surface waters. Apart from the demonstrated presence of estrogen- and estrogen-mimicking compounds in surface waters, antagonistic (anti-estrogenic) responses originating from wastewater effluent have been reported but are less known. Estrogenicity and anti-estrogenicity were assessed using recombinant yeast estrogen receptor binding assays (YES/YAES) at ten South African wastewater treatment works (WWTWs) and receiving rivers in two separate sampling campaigns during the summer- and winter periods in the area. Four WWTWs were then further investigated to show daily variation in estrogenic endocrine-disrupting activities during the treatment process. Although estrogenicity was notably reduced at most of the WWTWs, some treated effluent and river water samples were shown to be above effect-based trigger values posing an endocrine-disrupting risk for aquatic life and potential health risks for humans. Furthermore, estrogenicity recorded in samples collected upstream from some WWTW discharge points also exceeded some calculated risk trigger values, which highlights the impact of alternative pollution sources contributing towards endocrine disrupting contaminants (EDCs) in the environment. The YAES further showed variable anti-estrogenic activities in treated wastewater. The current study highlights a variety of factors that may affect bioassay outcomes and conclusions drawn from the results for risk decision-making. For example, mismatches were found between estrogenic and anti-estrogenic activity, which suggests a potential masking effect in WWTW effluents and highlights the complexity of environmental samples containing chemical mixtures having variable endocrine-disrupting modes of action. Although the recombinant yeast assay is not without its limitations to show endocrine-disrupting modulation in test water systems, it serves as a cost-effective tier-1 scoping assay for further risk characterisation and intervention.

Abstract
Agricultural wastes of cow manure and wheat straw were used to prepare montmorillonite (Mt)-biochars (CMt and WMt) for sorptive removal of 17β-estradiol (E2) from aqueous solution. The E2 adsorption performance of the two Mt-biochars was investigated using systematic adsorption kinetics and isotherms. The results exhibited that the maximum E2 adsorption amount of CMt was 41.02 mg/g, while it was 62.89 mg/g for WMt. Meanwhile, intraparticle diffusion model demonstrated that intraparticle diffusion was not the only rate-limiting step, both film diffusion and intraparticle diffusion were involved in the diffusion process. Higher pH levels (>10) decreased the adsorption capacities of Mt-biochars for E2. However, the ionic strength and the background electrolytes did not significantly affect adsorption process. Moreover, the two Mt-biochars both exhibited excellent regeneration and reusability. These results provided a potential solution to the recycling of agricultural wastes and the problem of estrogen contaminant.

Abstract
FoxL2 is a member of the forkhead/HNF-3-related family of transcription factors which provides tissue specific gene regulation. It is known to regulate ovarian aromatase, which plays a crucial role in ovarian development and mature. To understand the role of FoxL2/ovarian aromatase encoded gene Cyp19a1a during ovarian development and recrudescence, we identified cDNA characteristics of FoxL2 and Cyp19a1a, analyzed its temporal expression both at transcript and protein levels in the anadromous fish, Coilia nasus. Tissue distribution pattern revealed that FoxL2 mRNA expression level was highest in ovary, while Cyp19a1a mRNA was highest in brain. During the upstream migration cycle, in ovary, the FoxL2 mRNA temporal expression peaked at the multiplication stage (stage III in May), the Cyp19a1a mRNA expression peaked at the onset stage (stage I in March). It was found that their mRNA transcripts were maintained at high level during the migration stage (from stage I in March to stage VI in July). Additionally, the strongest immunolabeling positive signals of Cyp19a1a and FoxL2 proteins were mainly found in the cytoplasm of olfactory bulb cell, stratum granulare and neurogliocyte cells and development stage oocytes. Data indicated that FoxL2 and Cyp19a1a were inducible and functional in the C. nasus ovary development and migration process. Therefore, the present results can be regarded as evidence for indispensable roles of FoxL2 and Cyp19a1a in the ovary development and migratory behavior at gene expression patterns and encoded protein distribution level.
