[PMID: 38823104 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134753] [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: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
Tricresyl phosphate (TCP) has received extensive attentions due to its potential adverse effects, while the toxicological information of TCP isomers is limited. In this study, 2 h post-fertilization zebrafish embryos were exposed to tri-o-cresyl phosphate (ToCP), tri-m-cresyl phosphate (TmCP) or tri-p-cresyl phosphate (TpCP) at concentrations of 0, 100, 300 and 600 μg/L until 120 hpf, and the cardiotoxicity and mechanism of TCP isomers in zebrafish embryos/larvae were evaluated. The results showed that ToCP or TmCP exposure induced cardiac morphological defects and dysfunction in zebrafish, characterized by increased distance between sinus venosus and bulbus arteriosis, increased atrium and pericardial sac area, trabecular defects, and decreased heart rate and blood flow velocity, while no adverse effects of TpCP on zebrafish heart were found. Transcriptomic results revealed that extracellular matrix (ECM) and motor proteins, as well as PPAR signaling pathways, were included in the cardiac morphological defects and dysfunction induced by ToCP and TmCP. Co-exposure test with D-mannitol indicated that the inhibition of energy metabolism by ToCP and TmCP affected cardiac morphology and function by decreasing osmoregulation. This study is the first to report the cardiotoxicity induced by TCP in zebrafish from an isomer perspective, providing a new insight into the toxicity of TCP isomers and highlighting the importance of evaluating the toxicity of different isomers.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 470:134236. [PMID: 38613959 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134236] [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: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024]
Abstract
Organophosphorus compounds or organophosphates (OPs) are widely used as flame retardants, plasticizers, lubricants and pesticides. This contributes to their ubiquitous presence in the environment and to the risk of human exposure. The persistence of OPs and their bioaccumulative characteristics raise serious concerns regarding environmental and human health impacts. To address the need for safer OPs, this study uses a New Approach Method (NAM) to analyze the neurotoxicity pattern of 42 OPs. The NAM consists of a 4-step process that combines computational modeling with in vitro and in vivo experimental studies. Using spherical harmonic-based cluster analysis, the OPs were grouped into four main clusters. Experimental data and quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) analysis were used in conjunction to provide information on the neurotoxicity profile of each group. Results showed that one of the identified clusters had a favorable safety profile, which may help identify safer OPs for industrial applications. In addition, the 3D-computational analysis of each cluster was used to identify meta-molecules with specific 3D features. Toxicity was found to correspond to the level of phosphate surface accessibility. Substances with conformations that minimize phosphate surface accessibility caused less neurotoxic effect. This multi-assay NAM could be used as a guide for the classification of OP toxicity, helping to minimize the health and environmental impacts of OPs, and providing rapid support to the chemical regulators, whilst reducing reliance on animal testing.

Global environmental and toxicological impacts of polybrominated diphenyl ethers versus organophosphate esters: A comparative analysis and regrettable substitution dilemma. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 466:133543. [PMID: 38262318 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133543] [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: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/25/2024]
Abstract
The prevalence of organophosphate esters (OPEs) in the global environment is increasing, which aligns with the decline in the usage of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). PBDEs, a category of flame retardants, were banned and classified as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) through the Stockholm Convention due to their toxic and persistent properties. Despite a lack of comprehensive understanding of their ecological and health consequences, OPEs were adopted as replacements for PBDEs. This research aims to offer a comparative assessment of PBDEs and OPEs in various domains, specifically focusing on their persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity (PBT) properties. This study explored physicochemical properties (such as molecular weight, octanol-water partition coefficient, octanol-air partition coefficient, Henry's law constant, and vapor pressures), environmental behaviors, global concentrations in environmental matrices (air, water, and soil), toxicities, bioaccumulation, and trophic transfer mechanisms of both groups of compounds. Based on the comparison and analysis of environmental and toxicological data, we evaluate whether OPEs represent another instance of regrettable substitution and global contamination as much as PBDEs. Our findings indicate that the physical and chemical characteristics, environmental behaviors, and global concentrations of PBDEs and OPEs, are similar and overlap in many instances. Notably, OPE concentrations have even surged by orders of several magnitude compared to PBDEs in certain pristine regions like the Arctic and Antarctic, implying long-range transport. In many instances, air and water concentrations of OPEs have been increased than PBDEs. While the bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) of PBDEs (ranging from 4.8 to 7.5) are slightly elevated compared to OPEs (-0.5 to 5.36) in aquatic environments, both groups of compounds exhibit BAF values beyond the threshold of 5000 L/kg (log10 BAF > 3.7). Similarly, the trophic magnification factors (TMFs) for PBDEs (ranging from 0.39 to 4.44) slightly surpass those for OPEs (ranging from 1.06 to 3.5) in all cases. Metabolic biotransformation rates (LogKM) and hydrophobicity are potentially major factors deciding their trophic magnification potential. However, many compounds of PBDEs and OPEs show TMF values higher than 1, indicating biomagnification potential. Collectively, all data suggest that PBDEs and OPEs have the potential to bioaccumulate and transfer through the food chain. OPEs and PBDEs present a myriad of toxicity endpoints, with notable overlaps encompassing reproductive issues, oxidative stress, developmental defects, liver dysfunction, DNA damage, neurological toxicity, reproductive anomalies, carcinogenic effects, and behavior changes. Based on our investigation and comparative analysis, we conclude that substituting PBDEs with OPEs is regrettable based on PBT properties, underscoring the urgency for policy reforms and effective management strategies. Addressing this predicament before an exacerbation of global contamination is imperative.

FRONTIERS IN TOXICOLOGY 2023; 5:1272368. [PMID: 38090358 PMCID: PMC10711633 DOI: 10.3389/ftox.2023.1272368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) is an acceptable small laboratory fish model for the evaluation and assessment of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) found in the environment. In this research, we used this fish as a potential tool for the identification of EDCs that have a significant impact on human health. We conducted an electronic search in PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed) and Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) using the search terms, Japanese medaka, Oryzias latipes, and endocrine disruptions, and sorted 205 articles consisting of 128 chemicals that showed potential effects on estrogen-androgen-thyroid-steroidogenesis (EATS) pathways of Japanese medaka. From these chemicals, 14 compounds, namely, 17β-estradiol (E2), ethinylestradiol (EE2), tamoxifen (TAM), 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT), 17β-trenbolone (TRB), flutamide (FLU), vinclozolin (VIN), triiodothyronine (T3), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), terephthalic acid (TPA), trifloxystrobin (TRF), ketoconazole (KTC), and prochloraz (PCZ), were selected as references and used for the identification of apical endpoints within the EATS modalities. Among these endpoints, during classification, priorities are given to sex reversal (masculinization of females and feminization of males), gonad histology (testis-ova or ovotestis), secondary sex characteristics (anal fin papillae of males), plasma and liver vitellogenin (VTG) contents in males, swim bladder inflation during larval development, hepatic vitellogenin (vtg) and choriogenin (chg) genes in the liver of males, and several genes, including estrogen-androgen-thyroid receptors in the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad/thyroid axis (HPG/T). After reviewing 205 articles, we identified 108 (52.68%), 46 (22.43%), 19 (9.26%), 22 (17.18%), and 26 (12.68%) papers that represented studies on estrogen endocrine disruptors (EEDs), androgen endocrine disruptors (AEDs), thyroid endocrine disruptors (TEDs), and/or steroidogenesis modulators (MOS), respectively. Most importantly, among 128 EDCs, 32 (25%), 22 (17.18%), 15 (11.8%), and 14 (10.93%) chemicals were classified as EEDs, AEDs, TEDs, and MOS, respectively. We also identified 43 (33.59%) chemicals as high-priority candidates for tier 2 tests, and 13 chemicals (10.15%) show enough potential to be considered EDCs without any further tier-based studies. Although our literature search was unable to identify the EATS targets of 45 chemicals (35%) studied in 60 (29.26%) of the 205 articles, our approach has sufficient potential to further move the laboratory-based research data on Japanese medaka for applications in regulatory risk assessments in humans.

Abstract
Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are widely used as flame retardants and plasticizers in consumer products. Toxicological studies have indicated that OPEs may affect male reproductive health, but human evidence is inconclusive. In this study, we explored associations of individual and mixtures of OPE exposure with semen quality among 1015 Chinese men from an infertility clinic. After adjusting for potential confounders, we observed that higher diphenyl phosphate (DPHP) and [Bis(2-methylphenyl) phosphate (BMPP)] exposure was associated with increased odds ratios (ORs) of having below-reference total sperm count. Higher bis (2-butoxyethyl) phosphate (BBOEP) exposure was associated with increased ORs of having below-reference progressive motility and total motility. For semen quality parameters modeled as continuous outcomes, inverse associations with individual OPE were still observed. In addition, urinary 1-hydroxy-2-propyl bis (1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (BCIPHIPP) concentrations were inversely associated with the percentage of normal morphology while positively associated with the percentage of abnormal heads. Quantile g-computation regression analyses showed that exposure to higher OPE mixtures was associated with lower total sperm motility and normal morphology. Our results indicated that both individual and mixtures of OPE exposure were associated with reduced semen quality.

Abstract
Tricresyl phosphate (TCP), a notable emerging pollutant with a high bioconcentration factor and biotoxicity, is a typical representative of aryl-organophosphorus flame retardants. The electrochemical and chromatographic technologies used in conventional TCP detection have a variety of drawbacks. Hence, it is crucial to suggest an easy, accurate, and selective method for detecting TCP. In this study, we presented a brand-new method based on NH2-MIL-53(Al) nanoprobe for the direct luminescence assay of TCP. NH2-MIL-53(Al) possessed an excellent crystal structure and superior optical qualities. Notably, the introduction of TCP caused a considerable dampening of the photoluminescence signal of the nanoprobe. The fluorescence response based on static quenching was verified by fluorescence lifetime decay curves. The thermodynamic analysis further concluded that TCP and nanoprobe spontaneously produced non-fluorescent complexes due to hydrophobic interaction. The quenching efficiency (F0-F)/F0 of the nanoprobe and the TCP concentration displayed good linearity in the scope of 0.3-3.0 μM (R2 = 0.996), and the LOD was 0.058 μM under the ideal detection conditions. More significantly, the technique was effectively used to identify TCP in lake and tap water (RSD ≤5.79%), which provided a fresh perspective on how to recognize OPFRs in environmental water.

Abstract
A novel microbial consortium ZY1 capable of degrading tricresyl phosphates (TCPs) was isolated, it could quickly degrade 100% of 1 mg/L tri-o-cresyl phosphate (ToCP), tri-p-cresyl phosphate (TpCP) and tri-m-cresyl phosphate (TmCP) within 36, 24 and 12 h separately and intracellular enzymes occupied the dominated role in TCPs biodegradation. Additionally, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), 2-ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate (EHDPP), bisphenol-A bis (diphenyl phosphate) (BDP), tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) and tris (1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TCPP) could also be degraded by ZY1 and the aryl-phosphates was easier to be degraded. The TCPs reduction observed in freshwater and seawater indicated that high salinity might weak the degradability of ZY1. The detected degradation products suggested that TCPs was mainly metabolized though the hydrolysis and hydroxylation. Sequencing analysis presented that the degradation of TCPs relied on the cooperation between sphingobacterium, variovorax and flavobacterium. The cytochrome P450/NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase and phosphatase were speculated might involve in TCPs degradation. Finally, toxicity evaluation study found that the toxicity of the diesters products was lower than their parent compound based on the generation of the intracellular reactive oxygen (ROS) and the apoptosis rate of A549 cell. Taken together, this research provided a new insight for the bioremediation of TCPs in actual environment.
