Using heat shock protein (HSP) inducers as an approach to increase the viability of sterlet (Pisces; Acipenseridae; Acipenser ruthenus) cells against environmental diazinon toxicity. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133194. [PMID: 38086298 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133194] [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: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2024]
Abstract
Diazinon (DZN) is an organophosphate pesticide frequently used in agriculture and released into aquatic environments. In this study, sterlet sturgeon cells were exposed to DZN to investigate possible defense mechanisms via HSP induction (HSPi). Liver, kidney, and gill cells of Acipenser ruthenus were isolated and cultured and then treated with HSPi (Pro-Tex®, amygdalin, and a novel pirano-piranazole-based synthesized compound: SZ) in the presence and absence of DZN. MTT assays were used to evaluate the effects of different HSPis and their combinations with DZN. Western blotting analysis was conducted to evaluate HSP27, HSP70, and HSP90 expression patterns in each group. The highest rates of caspase-3 and caspase-8 activities were found in the DZN group, whereas HSPi treatment resulted in the lowest rates. The combination of HSPi+DZN resulted in increased HSP levels and antioxidant parameters but decreased cortisol, immune parameters, and metabolic enzymes. Many of the studied parameters (caspases, acetylcholinesterase, antioxidant, immune, and metabolic parameters) showed significant correlations with HSP expression, indicating that HSPs may be associated with markers of sterlet cell health. The results of this study demonstrate that using HSP inducers may be a powerful and reliable way to increase A. ruthenus resistance prior to exposure to DZN.

A novel sandwich impedimetric immunosensor for detection of apolipoprotein-A1 based on the gold nanoparticle-hybridized mercapto-β-cyclodextrin-Pb(II) metal-organic framework. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 190:33. [PMID: 36538097 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-022-05618-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
A novel sandwich electrochemical impedimetric immunosensor was proposed to detect apolipoprotein-A1 (Apo-A1), a common biomarker for bladder cancer. The molybdenum disulfide/graphene quantum dot (MoS2/GQD) nanocomposites were modified on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and used to immobilize the biotinylated antibody (Ab1) with the help of chitosan and glutaraldehyde (denoted as BSA/Ab1/CHIT/MoS2/GQD/GCE). Pb(II)-thiol-β-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (denoted as Pb-MOF) was synthesized with lead metal ions and thiol-β-cyclodextrin ligands by a one-pot solvothermal method, and then, gold nanoparticles were modified on the surface of Pb-MOF (Pb-MOF-AuNPs) by Au-S bond, which was used as signal label for the recombinant antibody (Ab2). When the immunosensor of BSA/Ab1/CHIT/MoS2/GQD/GCE reacted with Apo-A1, Pb-MOF-AuNPs-Ab2/BSA was connected to the electrode when immunoreaction occurred, and an immune sandwich structure was formed, which led to significantly increased charge transfer resistance of electrochemical probe for ferrocyanide (II)/(III) within the frequency range 10-1 ~ 105 Hz at 5 mV amplitude and the potential of 0.180 V (vs. SCE). Based on this principle, the quantitative detection of Apo-A1 was established. The relative change of electrochemical resistance and the logarithmic value of Apo-A1 concentration showed a linear relationship with a linear coefficient of 0.9989 in the range 1.00 pg mL-1 and 1.00 μg mL-1 with the limit of detection of 0.30 pg mL-1. The selectivity, repeatability, and other performance of the proposed immunosensor were also investigated. The immunosensor was successfully applied to the detection of real serum and urine samples with recovery in the range 96.4 ~ 109.1% (RSD < 3.8%), indicating that it could be helpful for the clinical diagnosis of bladder cancer.

Abstract
Arsenic toxicity has become a major global health concern for humans and animals due to extensive environmental and occupational exposure to arsenic-contaminated water, air, soil, and plant and animal origin food. It has a wide range of detrimental effects on animals, humans, and the environment. As a result, various experimental and clinical studies were undertaken and are undergoing to understand its source of exposures, pathogenesis, identify key biomarkers, the medical and economic impact on affected populations and ecosystems, and their timely detection and control measures. Despite these extensive studies, no conclusive information for the prevention and control of arsenic toxicity is available, owing to complex epidemiology and pathogenesis, including an imprecise approach and repetitive work. As a result, there is a need for literature that focuses on recent studies on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, detection, and ameliorative measures of arsenic toxicity to assist researchers and policymakers in the practical future planning of research and community control programs. According to the preceding viewpoint, this review article provides an extensive analysis of the recent progress on arsenic exposure to humans through the environment, livestock, and fish, arsenic toxicopathology, nano-biotechnology-based detection, and current remedial measures for the benefit of researchers, academicians, and policymakers in controlling arsenic eco-toxicology and directing future research. Arsenic epidemiology should therefore place the greatest emphasis on the prevalence of different direct and indirect sources in the afflicted areas, followed by control strategies.

Abstract
Arsenic-contaminated food including farmed fish is one of the main routes of human exposure. Fish farmed in contaminated environment accumulates arsenic in different tissues with great variability. Thus, it is utmost important to quantify the risk associated with different farmed fish species in arsenic-contaminated aquaculture systems. In the present study, arsenic content was measured in twelve fish species (Labeo rohita, L. catla, Cirrhinus mrigala, Oreochromis niloticus, O. mossambicus, Liza tade, Puntius javanicus, L. calbasu, Glossogobius giuris, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, Ctenopharyngodon idella, and Bellamya bengalensis (gastropod)) collected from arsenic-contaminated aquaculture systems. Among the studied finfishes, C. idella was found to accumulate the lowest amount of arsenic (< 0.05 ± 0.00 mg kg-1) whereas the highest accumulation was noticed in O. mossambicus (1.0 ± 0.18 mg kg-1). However, the estimated carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks of human were found to be low for all the studied fishes. The calculated target hazard quotient (THQ) value for adults ranged from 0.01 to 0.08 whereas for children it ranged from 0.05 to 0.27 for low-arsenic-accumulating fishes (arsenic conc. < 0.5 mg kg-1). Based on these findings, C. mrigala, C. idella, and M. rosenbergii could be recommended as the candidate species for aquaculture in the arsenic-contaminated areas as farming of the low-arsenic-accumulating food fishes would also lower the risk of human exposure through food chain.

AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2022; 246:106134.

Abstract
In this study, Chinese rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus) larvae were exposed to the control group, Cd concentrations (0.5 and 2.5 mg/L), and Hg concentrations (0.1 and 0.3 mg/L) for 96 h. Transcriptome analysis showed that 816 and 1599 significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in response to 2.5 mg/L Cd2+ and 0.3 mg/L Hg2+, respectively. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs were mostly associated with immune responses after Cd exposure, such as antigen processing and presentation, phagosome, apoptosis, and lysosome. Similarly, functional enrichment analysis showed that many pathways were mostly involved in metabolism after Hg exposure, such as glutathione metabolism and starch and sucrose metabolism. Results of two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) showed that the abundance of 10 protein spots was significantly altered in the Cd2+ treatments. The proteomic analysis demonstrated that Cd toxicity might impair cytoskeletal and cell motility-related protein activity in the liver of G. rarus. Similarly, the abundance of 24 protein spots was significantly altered in the Hg2+ treatments. Hg toxicity regulates the expression of proteins belonging to several functional categories, including cytoskeleton, oxidative stress, digestive system, and energy metabolism. This study provides valuable relevant insight into the molecular mechanisms in response to Cd or Hg toxicity in aquatic organisms and will help screen for potential biomarkers to respond to Cd and Hg pollutants.

Abstract
Labeo rohita (Rohu) is one of the most important fish species produced in world aquaculture. Integrative omics research provides a strong platform to understand the basic biology and translate this knowledge into sustainable solutions in tackling disease outbreak, increasing productivity and ensuring food security. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics has provided insights to understand the biology in a new direction. Very little proteomics work has been done on 'Rohu' limiting such resources for the aquaculture community. Here, we utilised an extensive mass spectrometry based proteomic profiling data of 17 histologically normal tissues, plasma and embryo of Rohu to develop an open source PeptideAtlas. The current build of "Rohu PeptideAtlas" has mass-spectrometric evidence for 6015 high confidence canonical proteins at 1% false discovery rate, 2.9 million PSMs and ~150 thousand peptides. This is the first open-source proteomics repository for an aquaculture species. The 'Rohu PeptideAtlas' would promote basic and applied aquaculture research to address the most critical challenge of ensuring nutritional security for a growing population.

The Effect of Broccoli Extract in Arsenic-Induced Experimental Poisoning on the Hematological, Biochemical, and Electrophoretic Parameters of the Liver and Kidney of Rats. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:3509706. [PMID: 35035501 PMCID: PMC8754608 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3509706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2021] [Revised: 12/12/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Heavy metals such as arsenic contribute to environmental pollution that can lead to systemic effects in various body organs. Some medicinal plants such as broccoli have been shown to reduce the harmful effects of these heavy metals. The main aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of broccoli extract on liver and kidney toxicity, considering hematological and biochemical changes. The experimental study was performed in 28 days on 32 male Wistar rats classified into four groups: the control group (C), a group receiving 5 mg/kg oral arsenic (AS), a group receiving 300 mg/kg broccoli (B), and a group receiving arsenic and broccoli combination (AS + B). Finally, blood samples were taken to evaluate the hematological and biochemical parameters of the liver and kidney, as well as serum proteins' concentration. Liver and kidney tissue were fixed and stained by H&E and used for histopathological diagnosis. The results demonstrated a significant decrease in white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), and hemoglobin (Hb) in the AS group compared to other groups. However, in the B group, a significant increase in RBC and WBC was observed compared to the AS and C groups (P < 0.05). Moreover, RBC and WBC levels increased significantly in the AS + B group compared to the AS group (P = 0.046). However, in the AS group, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), urea, and creatinine levels increased, while total protein, albumin, and globulin decreased. This can be a result of liver and kidney damage, which was observed in the AS group. Furthermore, the increase in the concentration of albumin and globulin in the AS + B group was higher than that in the AS group. Infiltration of inflammatory cells and necrosis of the liver and kidney tissue in the pathological evaluation of the AS group were significantly higher than other groups. There was an increase in superoxide dismutases (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC); however, a decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration was seen in the AS + B group compared to the AS group. It seems that broccoli is highly effective at reducing liver and kidney damage and improving the hematological and biochemical factors in arsenic poisoning conditions.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathy syndrome (CMS), caused by piscine myocarditis virus (PMCV), is a serious challenge to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) aquaculture. Regrettably, husbandry techniques are the only tool to manage CMS outbreaks, and no prophylactic measures are available at present. Early diagnosis of CMS is therefore desirable, preferably with non-lethal diagnostic methods, such as serum biomarkers. To identify candidate biomarkers for CMS, the protein content of pools of sera (4 fish/pool) from salmon with a CMS outbreak (3 pools) and from clinically healthy salmon (3 pools) was compared using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). Overall, seven proteins were uniquely identified in the sera of clinically healthy fish, while 27 proteins were unique to the sera of CMS fish. Of the latter, 24 have been associated with cardiac disease in humans. These were grouped as leakage enzymes (creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, glycogen phosphorylase and carbonic anhydrase); host reaction proteins (acute-phase response proteins-haptoglobin, fibrinogen, α2-macroglobulin and ceruloplasmin; and complement-related proteins); and regeneration/remodelling proteins (fibronectin, lumican and retinol). Clinical evaluation of the suitability of these proteins as biomarkers of CMS, either individually or as part of a panel, is a logical next step for the development of early diagnostic tools for CMS.

Abstract
Arsenic is a highly carcinogenic environmental contaminant. Curcumin, the bioactive component of turmeric, exhibits therapeutic efficacy against several chronic inflammatory and infectious diseases. The present study was carried out to investigate the impact of arsenic on eye lens and evaluate the ameliorative potential of curcumin against arsenic toxicity. Gene expression analysis of α, β, and γ-crystallins and fatty acid profile of lens tissues of arsenic-exposed Labeo rohita was examined and the protective effect of curcumin as diet supplement was evaluated. Curcumin-supplemented diet was prepared at 1.5% and 3% and fed to four groups of fish for 7 days prior to arsenic exposure (at 5 ppm and 15 ppm) for 15 days. Gene expression analysis showed downregulation of α and β-crystallins in the eye lens of arsenic-exposed groups (fed basal diet), whereas the groups fed a curcumin-supplemented diet showed insignificant alterations. Similarly, fatty acid fingerprint of lens lipids arsenic-exposed group exhibited reduction in saturated fatty acid and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) content. However, in 3% curcumin-supplemented diet-fed and arsenic exposed group group, fatty acid profile remained unchanged. Interestingly, concentration of one non-fatty acid, an antioxidant compound (phenol 2,4-bis 1,1 dimethyl; PD) that was identified in the GC-MS fingerprinting through NIST library (version 2.2, 2014), decreased in response to arsenic exposure which was restored to normal level in curcumin-supplemented groups proving the therapeutic potential of curcumin. The findings of the study suggest that curcumin has a protective effect on eye lens against arsenic toxicity.

Arsenic in a groundwater environment in Bangladesh: Occurrence and mobilization. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2020; 262:110318. [PMID: 32250801 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.110318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2019] [Revised: 06/16/2019] [Accepted: 02/20/2020] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
Groundwater with an excessive level of Arsenic (As) is a threat to human health. In Bangladesh, out of 64 districts, the groundwater of 50 and 59 districts contains As exceeding the Bangladesh (50 μg/L) and WHO (10 μg/L) standards for potable water. This review focuses on the occurrence, origin, plausible sources, and mobilization mechanisms of As in the groundwater of Bangladesh to better understand its environmental as well as public health consequences. High As concentrations mainly was mainly occur from the natural origin of the Himalayan orogenic tract. Consequently, sedimentary processes transport the As-loaded sediments from the orogenic tract to the marginal foreland of Bangladesh, and under the favorable biogeochemical circumstances, As is discharged from the sediment to the groundwater. Rock weathering, regular floods, volcanic movement, deposition of hydrochemical ore, and leaching of geological formations in the Himalayan range cause As occurrence in the groundwater of Bangladesh. Redox and desorption processes along with microbe-related reduction are the key geochemical processes for As enrichment. Under reducing conditions, both reductive dissolution of Fe-oxides and desorption of As are the root causes of As mobilization. A medium alkaline and reductive environment, resulting from biochemical reactions, is the major factor mobilizing As in groundwater. An elevated pH value along with decoupling of As and HCO3- plays a vital role in mobilizing As. The As mobilization process is related to the reductive solution of metal oxides as well as hydroxides that exists in sporadic sediments in Bangladesh. Other mechanisms, such as pyrite oxidation, redox cycling, and competitive ion exchange processes, are also postulated as probable mechanisms of As mobilization. The reductive dissolution of MnOOH adds dissolved As and redox-sensitive components such as SO42- and oxidized pyrite, which act as the major mechanisms to mobilize As. The reductive suspension of Mn(IV)-oxyhydroxides has also accelerated the As mobilization process in the groundwater of Bangladesh. Infiltration from the irrigation return flow and surface-wash water are also potential factors to remobilize As. Over-exploitation of groundwater and the competitive ion exchange process are also responsible for releasing As into the aquifers of Bangladesh.

Oxidative damage under As 3+ and/or Cu 2+ stress leads to apoptosis and autophagy and may be cross-talking with mitochondrial disorders in bursa of Fabricius. J Inorg Biochem 2020; 205:110989. [PMID: 31945648 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2019.110989] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2019] [Revised: 12/30/2019] [Accepted: 12/31/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Arsenic (As) exists in many forms in the whole natural environment, with As3+ the highest toxicity. Herein our study demonstrated that arsenic trioxide (As2O3) at a dose of 30 mg/kg caused serious oxidative damage to chickens' bursa of Fabricius (BF) in a time-dependent manner. Copper (Cu) is a necessary micronutrient and a key catalytic cofactor of many enzymes. We found excessive Cu (in the form of 300 mg/kg copper sulfate (CuSO4)) also induced severe oxidative stress (OxS), and its co-exposure with As3+ had a greater destructive power against oxidative system. Under electron microscope, swollen mitochondria, disappeared cristae and agglutinated chromatin were observed, accompanied by myeloid structure and autophagosome. The results showed apoptosis and autophagy occurred under the action of As3+ and Cu2+, and the situation was more serious in combined exposure group, which was further explained by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated 2'-Deoxyuridine 5'-Triphosphate (dUTP) Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL). By quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot, we found that mitochondrial dynamics were disordered under OxS, and the abnormal changes of B-cell lymphoma (Bcl)-2, p53, Bcl-2-interacting protein (Beclin)-1 and autophagy-related gene (ATG) 4B indicated the crosstalk between apoptosis and autophagy. In conclusion, apoptosis and autophagy of BF induced by As3+ and Cu2+ and mitochondrial disorder are closely related to the collapse of antioxidant system, and their connections are inseparable. Our results provide a reference for environmental risk prevention and selection of poultry feed additives and pesticides to avoid the health risks caused by As3+ and Cu2+ exposure.

Abstract
Proteomic analyses techniques are considered strong tools for identifying and quantifying the protein contents in different organisms, organs and secretions. In fish biotechnology, the proteomic analyses have been used for wide range of applications such as identification of immune related proteins during infections and stresses. The proteomic approach has a significant role in understanding pathogen surviving strategies, host defence responses and subsequently, the fish pathogen interactions. Proteomic analyses were employed to highlight the virulence related proteins secreted by the pathogens to invade the fish host's defence barriers and to monitor the kinetics of protein contents of different fish organs in response to infections. The immune related proteins of fish and the virulence related proteins of pathogens are up or down regulated according to their functions in defence or pathogenesis. Therefore, the proteomic analyses are useful in understanding the virulence mechanisms of microorganisms and the fish pathogen interactions thereby supporting the development of new effective therapies. In this review, we focus and summarise the recent proteomic profiling studies exploring pathogen virulence activities and fish immune responses to stressors and infections.

Abstract
The innate immune response involves a concerted network of induced gene products, preformed immune effectors, biochemical signalling cascades and specialised cells. However, the multifaceted activation of these defensive measures can derail or overshoot and, if left unchecked, overwhelm the host. A plenty of regulatory devices therefore mediate the fragile equilibrium between pathogen defence and pathophysiological manifestations. Over the past decade in particular, an almost complete set of teleostean sequences orthologous to mammalian immunoregulatory factors has been identified in various fish species, which prove the remarkable conservation of innate immune-control concepts among vertebrates. This review will present the current knowledge on more than 50 teleostean regulatory factors (plus additional fish-specific paralogs) that are of paramount importance for controlling the clotting cascade, the complement system, pattern-recognition pathways and cytokine-signalling networks. A special focus lies on those immunoregulatory features that have emerged as potential biomarker genes in transcriptome-wide research studies. Moreover, we report on the latest progress in elucidating control elements that act directly with immune-gene-encoding nucleic acids, such as transcription factors, hormone receptors and micro- and long noncoding RNAs. Investigations into the function of teleostean inhibitory factors are still mainly based on gene-expression profiling or overexpression studies. However, in support of structural and in-vitro analyses, evidence from in-vivo trials is also available and revealed many biochemical details on piscine immune regulation. The presence of multiple gene copies in fish adds a degree of complexity, as it is so far hardly understood if they might play distinct roles during inflammation. The present review addresses this and other open questions that should be tackled by fish immunologists in future.
