Abstract
Carbendazim (CBZ) is widely used for crop protection and its residues threaten human health and the environment. Therefore, developing an effective electrocatalyst is important for the extremely sensitive detection of CBZ. Lattice-strain engineering is an effective strategy to change its electronic structure and ultimately optimize the catalytic performance of materials, which can be used as a modification method to improve the detection performance of electrochemical sensors. Herein, a NiFeLDH@HsGY-NH2/MWCNTs heterojunction with strain effect is prepared by the electrostatic self-assembly method. The structure, morphology, composition, crystallinity and electrochemical performance of NiFeLDH@HsGY-NH2/MWCNTs are analyzed using various instrumental techniques, in which geometric phase analysis (GPA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) images confirm the lattice-strain generated in NiFeLDH@HsGY-NH2/MWCNTs. The results indicate that the prepared electrochemical sensor exhibited an excellent response for carbendazim (CBZ) in the linear range of 0.05-50.00 μM with a detection limit of 10.00 nM (S/N = 3) under the optimal detection conditions. By analyzing the reasons for the improvement of the catalytic performance of the composite material, it is found that the composite of MWCNTs not only improves the conductivity of NiFeLDH but also regulates the electronic structure of metal atoms through double effects. This study provides new insights into the design of efficient and low-cost catalysts to facilitate electrochemical sensor applications.

Glyphosate and its formulated product Roundup Transorb R® affect locomotor activity and reproductive and developmental parameters in Jenynsia lineata fish: An intergenerational study. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 362:142541. [PMID: 38851497 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142541] [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: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
Glyphosate is the most widely utilized herbicide worldwide due to its effectiveness in controlling agricultural weeds. However, its persistence in aquatic ecosystems has raised concerns about the well-being of non-target organisms such as fish. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chronic exposure (21 days) to glyphosate or its formulated product Roundup Transorb R®, at an environmentally relevant concentration permitted by regulations in certain countries (65 μg/L of glyphosate), on the locomotor activity and reproductive success of the fish Jenynsia lineata, as well as on the morphology/development and locomotor activity of its offspring, as intergenerational effects. Neither the pure nor formulated herbicide altered the distance traveled and velocity of adult fish exposed to the herbicide (F0), but they negatively affected reproductive success, decreasing the percentage of positive response to the presence of the female, reducing the number of gravid females, causing abortions, and lowering offspring survival (F1). In the F1 generation, a decrease in weight and length was noted along with developmental abnormalities in both treatment groups (pure or formulated glyphosate), with the formulation causing more harm. Observed developmental abnormalities included muscle atrophy, ascites, pigmentary disorders, vertebral agenesis, spinal deviation, and exophthalmia. Furthermore, parental exposure to pure glyphosate led to an increase in the distance traveled and velocity of F1 (hyperlocomotion), whereas exposure to the formulated product resulted in a decrease in these behaviors (hypolocomotion) of F1. These findings highlight the toxic effects of glyphosate at very low concentrations, although varying between pure and formulated, and demonstrate the intergenerational consequences of herbicide exposure, underscoring the risk to the survival of fish offspring in glyphosate-contaminated environments.

A strategy for the investigation of toxic mechanisms and protection by efflux pumps using Schizosaccharomyces pombe strains: Application to rotenone. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 922:171253. [PMID: 38408667 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171253] [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: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024]
Abstract
Effects not related with the inhibition of complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain are studied in S. pombe, which lacks it. This study aims: First, the use of a strategy with S. pombe strains to investigate the toxicity, mechanisms of action, interactions and detoxication by efflux pumps. Second, to investigate the mechanisms of toxic action of rotenone. In the dose-response assessment, the yeast presented a good correlation with the toxicity in Daphnia magna for 15 chemicals. In the mechanistic study, the mph1Δ strain presented marked specificity to the interaction with microtubules by carbendazim. DNA damage caused by hydroxyurea, an inhibitor of deoxynucleotide synthesis, was identified with marked specificity with the rad3Δ strain. The sty1Δ strain was very sensitive to the oxidative and osmotic stress induced by hydrogen peroxide and potassium chloride, respectively, being more sensitive to oxidative stress than the pap1Δ strain. The protection by exclusion pumps was also evaluated. Rotenone presented low toxicity in S. pombe due to the lack of its main target, and the marked protection by the exclusion transporters Bfr1, Pmd1, Caf5 and Mfs1. Marked cellular stress was detected. Finally, the toxicity of rotenone could be potentiated by the fungicide carbendazim and the antimetabolite hydroxyurea. In conclusion, the use of S. pombe strains is a valid strategy to: a) assess global toxicity; b) investigate the main mechanisms of toxic action, particularly spindle and DNA interferences, and osmotic and oxidative stress not related to complex I inhibition; c) explore the detoxication by efflux pumps; and d) evaluate possible chemical interactions. Therefore, it should be useful for the investigation of adverse outcome pathways.

Abstract
Pesticide contamination and its adverse effects on native freshwater species continue to be a worldwide major concern, mainly in developing countries. Passive biomonitoring of pesticide pollution in shallow lakes may be achieved by the simultaneous use of fish and wetland plants. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of current-use pesticides in the surface water of a shallow lake of the Austral Pampas region (Buenos Aires Province, Argentina) surrounded by intensive agricultural activities and its relationship with a battery of biomarkers, including oxidative stress and genotoxicity, in two native species, the fish Oligosarcus jenynsii and the macrophyte Bidens laevis. A total of 26 pesticide residues were analyzed, and the main ones detected were glyphosate and its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), chlorpyrifos, and imidacloprid. In O. jenynsii, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content in the liver increased with chlorpyrifos occurrence, while malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the brain and liver increased with the presence of both chlorpyrifos and glyphosate. In B. laevis, H2O2 and MDA levels in leaves and roots increased with AMPA occurrence. Also, leaf H2O2 contents and root MDA levels increased with chlorpyrifos concentration. In contrast, catalase and peroxidase activities in roots decreased with AMPA and chlorpyrifos occurrence. In both species, mainly H2O2 and MDA levels demonstrated their sensitivity to be used as biomarkers in the biomonitoring of current-use pesticide pollution in shallow lakes. Their use may provide information to plan strategies for environmental conservation by government institutions or decision-makers, and to assess the biota health status.

Abstract
Carbendazim is often used in agriculture to prevent crop diseases, even though it has been associated with health concerns. To ensure the safety of food products and comply with environmental regulations, an ultrasensitive method for carbendazim determination must be developed. In this study, a new electrochemical molecularly imprinted polymer-aptasensor based on hemin-Al-metal organic framework@gold nanoparticles (H-Al-MOF@AuNPs) was developed for sensitive and selective carbendazim detection. Hemin linked to the surface of the Al-metal organic framework also possesses outstanding peroxidase-like qualities that can electrocatalyse the reduction of H2O2. Thus, H-Al-MOF functions as an in-situ probe. Additionally, AuNPs offer many binding sites to load carbendazim aptamers and create an imprinted polymer-aptasensing interface. Dopamine is the chemical functional monomer in the electropolymerised film, while carbendazim is the template molecule. Thus, compared to the molecularly imprinted polymer or aptasensor alone, the molecularly imprinted polymer-aptasensor showed greater selectivity due to the synergistic action of the polymer and carbendazim aptamer towards carbendazim. A decrease in peak current was observed by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and chronoamperometry (CA) as the concentration of carbendazim increased. This possibly resulted from carbendazim connecting to the carbendazim aptamer and simultaneously blocking the imprinted polymer cavities on the surface of the modified electrode, which reduced the transfer of electrons. Signals were observed for hemin DPV and H2O2 catalytic reduction CA. DPV and CA showed that the linear ranges for carbendazim were 0.3 fmol L-1-10 pmol L-1 and 0.7 fmol L-1-10 pmol L-1, respectively, with limits of detection of 80 and 300 amol L-1. Satisfactory recoveries were obtained with tap water, apple juice, and tomato juice samples, demonstrating that the proposed sensor has potential for food and environmental analysis.

Abstract
Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide worldwide due to its efficacy in weed control in agriculture. This herbicide has been consistently detected in the aquatic environment, causing harmful consequences to nontarget organisms residing in agricultural regions. In this study, we assessed the effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of glyphosate (30-100 µg/L) on the early life stages of the viviparous fish Jenynsia multidentata through biochemical and locomotor endpoints. At 96 h of exposure, 30 and 65 µg/L glyphosate caused an increase in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, and 65 µg/L glyphosate also augmented the levels of lipid peroxidation. Glyphosate at 100 µg/L did not alter the activity of acetylcholinesterase or the levels of lipid peroxidation, but it stimulated the activity of the cellular detoxification enzyme glutathione S-transferase. In addition, all concentrations affected the swimming of the fish. Under light conditions, glyphosate caused hypolocomotion at all concentrations tested, whereas under dark conditions, this was observed at 30 and 100 µg/L. Hyperlocomotion was observed at 65 µg/L glyphosate. These findings are alarming for the health of fish, such as J. multidentata that inhabit streams that pass through agricultural areas, especially for the early life stages of these fish. Research studying the effects of pollutants on native species is relevant to improve regulation that protects aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are believed to protect aquatic organisms by pumping xenobiotics out, and recent investigation has suggested their involvement in the detoxification and efflux of nanoparticles (NPs), but their roles in fish embryos are poorly understood. In this regard, this paper summarizes the recent advances in research pertaining to the development of ABC transporter-mediated multi-xenobiotic resistance (MXR) mechanism in fish embryos and the potential interaction between ABC transporters and NPs. The paper focuses on: (1) Expression, function, and modulation mechanism of ABC proteins in fish embryos; (2) Potential interaction between ABC transporters and NPs in cell models and fish embryos. ABC transporters could be maternally transferred to fish embryos and thus play an important role in the detoxification of various chemical pollutants and NPs. There is a need to understand the specific mechanism to benefit the protection of aquatic resources.

Abstract
Dicamba (DIC) is one of the most applied auxin herbicides worldwide. Sublethal effects in the South American native fish Jenynsia lineata exposed to DIC concentrations close to environmental concentrations (0.03-30 µg/L) during 48 h were analysed thorough the evaluation of catalase (CAT), glutathione S-transferase (GST), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) and H2O2 levels for detecting potential oxidative stress. In gills MDA increased showing oxidative damage probably because of an inefficient antioxidant defense. This response evidenced the important role of gills as an organ of direct contact with waterborne contaminants. In addition, other changes in the biomarkers of oxidative stress were observed such as the inhibition of SOD activities in brain and the inhibition of GST in liver. These results show that short- term exposures to environmentally relevant concentrations of DIC could induce sublethal effects in native fish.

Abstract
Disturbance in the landscape surrounding streams can interfere with water quality and cause harm to aquatic organisms. In this study, we evaluate the influence of land use on the genetic and biochemical biomarkers of fish in streams of Brazilian savanna (Cerrado). We also evaluated whether biomarker responses are seasonally consistent. For this purpose, individuals of the Neotropical tetra fish Astyanax lacustris were exposed in cages for 96 h, in 13 streams draining agroecosystems with different degrees of disturbance during the dry and wet seasons. After exposure, blood, liver, and gills were collected for multibiomarker analyses (micronuclei, erythrocytic nuclear abnormalities, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzymes, and biotransformation enzyme). The results showed that the gradient of anthropic disturbance was positively associated with genotoxic damage (erythrocytic nuclear abnormalities) and negatively associated with antioxidant and biotransformation enzymes of the liver in both seasons. No association of the gradient of anthropic disturbance with the frequency of micronuclei and for most gill enzymes was found for both seasons. Landscape disturbance was also negatively associated with water quality in the wet season. These results indicate that changes in land use interfere with the genetic and biochemical processes of organisms. Thus, the multibiomarker approach may represent an effective strategy for assessing and monitoring terrestrial landscape disturbance.

Abstract
The extensive production and use of harmful pesticides in agriculture to improve crop yield has raised concerns about their potential threat to living components of the environment. Pesticides cause serious environmental and health problems both to humans and animals. Carbendazim (CBZ) is a broad spectrum fungicide that is used to control or effectively kill pathogenic microorganisms. CBZ is a significant contaminant found in food, soil and water. It exerts immediate and delayed harmful effects on humans, invertebrates, aquatic animals and soil microbes when used extensively and repeatedly. CBZ is a teratogenic, mutagenic and aneugenic agent that imparts its toxicity by enhancing generation of reactive oxygen species generation. It elevates the oxidation of thiols, proteins and lipids and decreases the activities of antioxidant enzymes. CBZ is cytotoxic causing hematological abnormalities, mitotic spindle deformity, inhibits mitosis and alters cell cycle events which lead to apoptosis. CBZ is known to cause endocrine-disruption, embryo toxicity, infertility, hepatic dysfunction and has been reported to be one of the leading causes of neurodegenerative disorders. CBZ is dangerous to human health, the most common side effects upon chronic exposure are thyroid gland dysfunction and oxidative hepato-nephrotoxicity. In mammals, CBZ has been shown to disrupt the antioxidant defense system. In this review, CBZ-induced toxicity in different cells, tissues and organisms, under in vitro and in vivo conditions, has been systematically discussed.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 293:133522. [PMID: 34995633 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.133522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Revised: 12/23/2021] [Accepted: 01/01/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Residues from multiple pesticides are frequently detected on vegetables, which may produce combined toxicity not predicted by individual toxicity data. As these combined effects present additional dangers to food safety, we have compared individual to combined effects for a variety of pesticides. Carbendazim and chlorpyrifos are the two most commonly detected pesticides in vegetables, and previous studies reported that combined exposure results in synergistic developmental toxicity to zebrafish embryos. In this study, individual and combined effects on zebrafish motor activity were examined following individual and combined exposure to assess nervous system toxicity. Further, transcriptomics methods were used to identify potential molecular mechanisms for individual and combined toxicity. Carbendazim alone induced a disorganized swim pattern characterized by increased angular velocity, turn angle, meander, and acceleration during light-dark transition, while chlorpyrifos alone reduced average swim speed and light-dark acceleration. Combined treatment significantly reduced average swim velocity and total distance traveled. Combination indices indicated strong antagonism between compounds for average speed and light-dark acceleration. Transcriptomics (RNA-seq) showed that carbendazim significantly altered the expression of genes involved in antigen processing and presentation, apoptosis, autophagy, and metabolism, including ctslb, cyp7a1, hsp70l, and ugt1a1. Alternatively, chlorpyrifos significantly altered genes involved in various nervous system-related pathways, including glutamatergic, GABAergic, dopaminergic, and calcium signaling. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis suggested that chlorpyrifos significantly downregulated genes related to light transduction, resulting in decreased sensitivity to light-dark transitions, while antagonism mainly reflected divergent effects on phototransduction and retinol metabolism. Carbendazim had no significant effects on vision-related genes such as gnat1 and gngt1, while chlorpyrifos downregulated expression, an effect reversed by the combination. Comprehensive toxicity analyses must include joint effects of co-applied pesticides for enhanced food safety.

Ivermectin: A multilevel approach to evaluate effects in Prochilodus lineatus (Valenciennes, 1836) (Characiformes, Prochilodontidae), an inland fishery species. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 800:149515. [PMID: 34392219 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.149515] [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: 05/03/2021] [Revised: 07/23/2021] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Ivermectin (IVM) is one of the most widely used antiparasitics worldwide. It is a potent and effective drug for treatment and prevention of internal and external parasitic infections of livestock and humans. IVM is excreted unchanged in manure of treated animals. Thus, residues of IVM may reach aquatic systems, affecting non-target organisms such as fish. Although the presence of IVM in aquatic environments has been reported, a multilevel approach (from cellular to behavioral responses) is necessary to determine the health of exposed organisms and the environmental risks associated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the response of the Neotropical fish Prochilodus lineatus, one of the main target species of South American freshwater fisheries, exposed to environmental concentrations of IVM: low (0.5 μg L-1) and high (1.5 μg L-1). Behavioral responses were assessed in juvenile fish and included water column use, routine swimming, total distance travelled, total activity time and Maximum swimming speed achieved during the escape response. Biochemical/oxidative stress responses assessed included brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE), catalase (CAT) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities; total antioxidant competence against peroxyl radicals (ACAP) and lipid oxidative damage (TBARs). Hematological biomarker responses included blood glucose levels, hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and mean corpuscular volume. Condition factor and hepatosomatic index were also calculated. The lowest IVM concentration caused a significant decrease in GST activity and maximum swimming speed during the escape response. Multivariate analysis with biochemical/stress and behavioral data revealed overall effects of IVM treatments. This multilevel analysis shows detrimental effects related to swimming behavior and predator avoidance which could affect population size and size-structure of P. lineatus. To our knowledge this is the first attempt to assess the effects of IVM on Neotropical fishes using an integrative approach based on biomarkers from different levels of biological organization.
