Toxicological study on ibuprofen and selenium in freshwater mussel Lamellidens marginalis and exploring the microbial cytochrome through modelling and quantum mechanics approaches for its toxicity degradation in contaminated environment. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 257:119331.

Abstract
Toxicological stress in aquatic organisms is caused by the discharge of hundreds of toxic pollutants and contaminants among which the current study concentrates on the toxic effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen (IBF) and the trace element selenium (Se). In this study, IBF and Se toxicity on freshwater mussel Lamellidens marginalis was studied for 14 days, and in silico predictions for their degradation were made using Molecular modelling and Quantum Mechanical approaches. The degrading propensity of cytochrome c oxidase proteins from Trametes verticillatus and Thauera selenatis (Turkey tail fungi and Gram-negative bacteria) is examined into atom level. The results of molecular modelling study indicate that ionic interactions occur in the T. selenatis-HEME bound complex by Se interacting directly with HEME, and in the T. versicolor-HEME bound complex by IBF bound to a nearby region of HEME. Experimental and theoretical findings suggest that, the toxicological effects of Se and IBF pollution can be reduced by bioremediation with special emphasis on T. versicolor, and T. selenatis, which can effectively interact with Se and IBF present in the environment and degrade them. Besides, this is the first time in freshwater mussel L. marginalis that ibuprofen and selenium toxicity have been studied utilizing both experimental and computational methodologies for their bioremediation study.

Haloxyfop-P-methyl induces immunotoxicity and glucose metabolism disorders and affects the Nrf2/ARE pathway mediated antioxidant system in Chiromantes dehaani. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 335:122332. [PMID: 37558200 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122332] [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: 06/24/2023] [Revised: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023]
Abstract
Haloxyfop-P-methyl is used extensively in agricultural production, and its metabolites in soil have potentially toxic effects on aquatic ecosystems. In this study, we explored the toxicity of haloxyfop-P-methyl on Chiromantes dehaani. The results of the 21-day toxicity test showed that haloxyfop-P-methyl decreased the weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR) and hepatosomatic index (HSI). In glucose metabolism, haloxyfop-P-methyl reduced pyruvate, lactate, lactate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase, but enhanced glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and hexokinase. Furthermore, expression of glucose metabolism-related genes was upregulated. We cloned the full-length CdG6PDH gene, which contains a 1587 bp ORF that encoded a 528 amino acid polypeptide. In antioxidant system, haloxyfop-P-methyl increased glutathione, thioredoxin reductase and thioredoxin peroxidase activities and activated the Nrf2/ARE pathway through upregulation of ERK, JNK, PKC and Nrf2. In immunity, low concentrations haloxyfop-P-methyl, or short-term exposure, upregulated the expression of immune-related genes and enhanced immune-related enzymes activity, while high concentrations or long-term exposure inhibited immune function. In summary, haloxyfop-P-methyl inhibited the growth performance, disrupted glucose metabolism, activated the antioxidant system, and led to immunotoxicity. The results deepen our understanding of the toxicity mechanism of haloxyfop-P-methyl and provide basic biological data for the comprehensive assessment of the risk of haloxyfop-P-methyl to the environment and humans.

McLaughlin QR, Gunderson MP. Effects of selenium treatment on endogenous antioxidant capacity in signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus). Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2022; 256:109324. [PMID: 35248758 PMCID: PMC9055979 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpc.2022.109324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Selenium is an essential element that plays a role in numerous physiological processes and is critical for the maintenance of a strong endogenous antioxidant system. Previous work by our research group reported that the organophosphate pesticide dimethoate decreased glutathione S-transferase activity (GST) in signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) collected from the Boise River (Idaho, USA). The goals of this study were to examine whether: 1) sodium selenite modulated the endogenous antioxidants glutathione (GSH), metallothionein (MT), and glutathione S-transferase (GST), thus suggesting a mechanism of antioxidant activity, 2) dimethoate exposure (pro-oxidant stressor) decreased GST activity in a localized population of signal crayfish collected from the Snake River (Idaho, USA), and 3) investigate whether selenium cotreatment ameliorated the adverse effects of dimethoate on GST activity due to the antioxidant properties associated with selenium. Selenium and dimethoate treatments (and co-treatments) did not modulate GSH or MT concentrations at the doses tested in this study. Furthermore, neither selenium nor dimethoate was factors influencing GST activity, and no interaction was found between the treatments. While our results did not support our predictions, they are suggestive and future studies examining the protective role of selenium in pro-oxidant exposure in this species are warranted. Population-specific responses as well as seasonal variations in endogenous antioxidant expression should be considered in future experiments.

Abstract
Simple Summary The population of Procambarus clarkii was surveyed twenty years after its introduction into Lake Trasimeno (Central Italy), investigating both ecological and genetic aspects. Our results confirmed that P. clarkii is well acclimatized with a stable population structure, mainly characterized by a unique mitochondrial lineage, suggesting that a single introduction event may have occurred in the lake, complemented by secondary events. Abstract The deliberate or accidental introduction of invasive alien species (IAS) causes negative ecological and economic impacts altering ecosystem processes, imperiling native species and causing damage to human endeavors. A monthly monitoring program was performed in Lake Trasimeno (Central Italy) from July 2018 to July 2019 in order to provide an upgrade of the population ecology of Procambarus clarkii and to assess the genetic diversity by analyzing the relationships among mitochondrial DNA diversity. Our results confirmed that P. clarkii is well acclimatized in the lake, revealing a stable population structure favored by the resources and conditions typical of this ecosystem, which seem to be optimal for the maintenance of the species. Four distinct mitochondrial haplotypes were detected, but one of them was clearly overrepresented (76%), suggesting that a single predominant introduction event may have occurred in this area, likely followed by secondary events. The identification of the typical genetic variants provides a better understanding of the evolutionary scenarios of P. clarkii in this biotope and it can be helpful in management plans concerning the expanding populations of this invasive alien species.

Abstract
The effect of selenium (Se) on the reproductive system has been investigated in both humans and vertebrates, but few studies of female fertility and reproduction in invertebrate have been reported. This study is aimed to investigate the effect of SeMet on growth performance and reproductive system after crayfish were fed with graded levels of dietary SeMet (0, 1.49, 3.29, 10.02, 30.27 or 59.8 μg Se/g dry weight) for 60 days. Crayfish treated with the high levels of SeMet (10.02, 30.27 and 59.76 μg Se/g) exhibited decreasing FW and CL in both male and female. Interestingly, Se accumulation was higher in ovary than in other tissues, suggesting that ovary may serve as a target organ for Se accumulation. We found that dietary Se concentration of 10.02 μg Se/g significantly improved the spawning rate, promoted the synchronized spawning, and up-regulated the expressions of mRNA of cdc2 and vitellogenin, with significantly increased E2 and VTG concentrations in hemolymph of female crayfish. However, a marked decrease of the E2 contents and spawning rate was observed in the groups treated with 30.27 and 59.76 μg Se/g diets. In conclusion, the results of this study indicated that the Se had maximum accumulation in ovary, affecting the reproductive capacity by intervening the expression of cdc2 and vitellogenin in the reproductive system. The LOAEL to induce FW was observed in crayfish fed with 10.02 μg Se/g diet, and its value can cause toxicity within the range of natural concentration, so the addition of Se in the feed should be within 10.02 μg Se/g.

Abstract
Farmed trout are commonly fed carotenoid-enriched diets during the finishing period to acquire typical red-to-pink flesh color in salmonid muscle. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of two xanthophylls, astaxanthin (Ax) or canthaxanthin (Cx), administered individually or in combination, on oxidative stress biomarkers in kidney and liver of rainbow trout. Specimens were fed Ax (75 mg/kg) or Cx (25 mg/kg) individually or in combination in the diets for 8 weeks. Changes in concentration of oxidative stress biomarkers, including total glutathione, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione S-transferase, were recorded in Ax- and Cx-dosed trout. These two carotenoids, predominantly Cx, initiated enzymatic responses in rainbow trout. It is noteworthy that lipid peroxidation processes were not apparent in all Ax or Cx-dosed trout. Further, both combined xanthophylls did not exert significant synergistic effects in liver and kidney. Biomarker responses were generally altered in both tissues through the 4 and 8 weeks suggesting that different time-dependent mechanisms led to enhanced antioxidant defense in Ax and/or Cx-fed trout. Data demonstrated that these two xanthophylls did not exert detrimental effects on rainbow trout.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace-element that becomes toxic when present at high concentrations for aquatic organisms. The knowledge about the mechanism of Se toxicity in freshwater ecosystem is still poorly studied. Thus the aim of the present study was to assess the impact of environmentally relevant concentrations of Se toxicity: 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 µg/L or water only (control) for periods of 96 hour (h) to test for Se accumulation (gill, liver and brain), its effects on enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defenses (gill and liver), oxidative stress effects on lipid, protein (gill and liver), DNA (liver) and inhibition of AchE (brain) activity were measured in Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus. Our result showed that Se accumulation was observed in the gill, liver and brain tissues of fish exposed to different concentrations and accumulation varied upon different tissues. Enzymatic (SOD, CAT, GPx and GST) and non-enzymatic (GSH and MT) antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione-s-transferase (GST) were significantly increased after 96 h exposure of higher concentrations Se in the gill and liver tissue with the exception of GST activity was significantly inhibited in liver after 96 h exposure of higher concentrations of Se. In contrast, catalase (CAT) activities were inhibited for both tissues of Se exposure at 96 h. Reduced glutathione (GSH) and Metallothionein (MT) levels were increased in the gill and liver tissues after exposure to Se for 96 h. We also observed that Se affected antioxidant defense, increasing oxidative stress indicator of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and protein carbonyl (PCO) in gill and liver tissues of fish exposed to Se for 96 h at the concentration dependent manner. Increased DNA damage scores observed in liver tissue of fish exposed to Se for concentrations dependent manner, indicating potential of Se on fish. We also observed inhibition of acetylcholine esterase (AchE) activity in brain tissue of fish exposed to Se for higher concentrations. The changes in these parameters can be used as suitable biomarkers for monitoring the toxicity of Se in the aquatic environment.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of deficient and excess dietary selenium (Se) on growth, blood cells apoptosis and liver heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) expression in juvenile yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco). After 8 weeks, yellow catfish (initial weight: 2.12 ± 0.01 g) fed isonitrogenous and isolipid diets containing <0.05 (deficient dietary Se) or 6.5 (excess dietary Se) mg Se/kg displayed a significantly lower weight gain ratio (WGR) than those fed a diet containing 0.23 (normal dietary Se) mg Se/kg. As dietary Se levels increased, liver Se concentration, glutathione peroxidase activity and the hepatosomatic index increased significantly. Plasma glucose concentration was highest in the normal treatment compared with the excess dietary Se treatment. Both deficient and excess dietary Se lead to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and apoptosis ratio in blood cells, whereas only excess dietary Se increased their cytoplasmic free-Ca(2+) (CF-Ca(2+)) concentration. Excess dietary Se also resulted in the highest level of HSP70 expression, thereby possibly providing a protective mechanism against oxidative stress. These results indicate that both deficient and excess dietary Se restrained the growth of juvenile yellow catfish and caused oxidative stress. The overproduction of ROS may act as a signal molecule mediate apoptosis when dietary Se deficiency. Both ROS and CF-Ca(2+) were recorded when dietary Se excess, suggesting that Ca(2+) may be activated by Se and play a major role during Se-induced oxidative stress and cell apoptosis.

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 2014; 37:1131-1139. [PMID: 24802526 DOI: 10.1016/j.etap.2014.04.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2013] [Revised: 04/05/2014] [Accepted: 04/08/2014] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
Two selenium withdrawal periods, 30 and 90 days, were considered for sturgeon fed 90 days three Se-cysteine diets (1.25, 5, 20 mgkg(-1)). Subsequently Acipenser baeri was fed the previous control diet (0.32 mgSekg(-1)) for 90 days. Levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidases, glutathione reductase, glyoxalase-II and malondialdehyde were determined in liver and kidney. Chemical analyses were carried out for the same tissues and for muscle. A reduction of Se levels in all tissues was recorded and the metalloid concentration decreased more quickly in liver than in kidney and muscle. At the end of the withdrawal Se concentration in muscle remained high in specimens previously fed 20 mgSekg(-1) diet, and disturbance of key antioxidant enzymes was recorded in liver and kidney. Moreover, alterations in glutathione peroxidases, and glyoxalase-II activities persisted even after 90 withdrawal days and were indicative of oxidative stress induced by Se-cysteine concentrations.

Abstract
In this study was evaluated potential protective effect of organic selenium (Se) on heavy metal stress induced by lead (Pb) in Cyprinus carpio. For this reason, C. carpio was exposed to sublethal concentration of Pb (1.5 mg/L Pb(NO3)2) for 14 days. The fish were fed a basal (control; measured 0.55 mg/kg Se) diet or a basal diet supplemented with 2.50 mg/kg (measured 2.92 mg/kg Se) organic Se (Sel-Plex(®)) during the experiment period. The variations in glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities, and levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) with malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver and brain tissues of C. carpio were investigated in experimental groups. GSH levels in liver and brain tissues were significantly decreased by exposure to Pb. GST activity was significantly increased (p < 0.05) in liver tissue, but decreased in brain of treated fish by exposure to Pb. Also, GSH-Px activity was significantly increased in liver tissue, but decreased in brain of Pb-treated fish. Levels of MDA were increased in liver and brain of Pb-treated fish. The organic Se treatment for Pb-intoxicated animals improved activities of GSH-Px, GST and levels of MDA within normal limits. Supplemented Se could be able to improve Pb-induced oxidative stress by decreasing lipid peroxidation and regulating antioxidant defense system in tissues.

CHEMOSPHERE 2013; 93:2405-2412. [PMID: 24034889 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2013.08.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2013] [Revised: 07/18/2013] [Accepted: 08/10/2013] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of selenium on concentrations of metabolites and enzyme activities acting as antioxidant markers in liver and kidney of Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baeri. Sturgeons were fed selenium cysteine for 30 and 60 d at 1.25, 5, 20mg Sekg(-1). Selenium level in the control feed was 0.32 mg kg(-1). Se concentration was measured in liver, kidney and muscle of every specimen. Sturgeon accumulated Se in tissues with a clear dose-response relationship and the highest Se concentration was recorded in liver. This outcome is lined up with the findings obtained on the antioxidant markers evaluated in both tissues, and in which a dose-response for several biomarkers was recorded in liver. The superoxide dismutase activity in Se-treated fish was generally induced, while catalase activity was lower in liver or unaltered in kidney. The concentrations of glutathione S-transferase, glutathione reductase and total glutathione responded differently for both tissues and were induced in a different way at both endpoints. No changes of glyoxalase I activity were noted for both Se-treated tissues, while for glyoxalase II enzyme in liver a dose-related pattern was found showing a reversible effect (decreased and increased counteractive response) only in the 5 mg kg(-1) group. Moreover, the highest Se concentrations did not cause marked changes in malondialdehyde levels of liver and kidney. The enhancement of glutathione peroxidase activity in Se-treated sturgeon might have prevented the lipid peroxidation in both tissues, providing to the Siberian sturgeon a great defense ability versus the prooxidant effect of selenium.
