Dietary exposure to 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) induces oxidative damage promoting cell apoptosis primarily via mitochondrial pathway in the hepatopancreas of carp, Cyprinus carpio. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 274:116192. [PMID: 38461574 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
To investigate the mechanisms of BDE-47 on hepatotoxicity in fish, this study examined the effects of dietary exposure to BDE-47 (40 and 4000 ng/g) on carp for 42 days. The results showed that BDE-47 significantly increased carp's condition factor and hepatosomatic index. Pathological results revealed unclear hepatic cord structure, hepatocytes swelling, cellular vacuolization, and inflammatory cell infiltration in the hepatopancreas of carp. Further investigation showed that ROS levels significantly increased on days 7, 14, and 42. Moreover, the activities of antioxidant enzymes SOD, GSH, CAT, and GST increased significantly from 1 to 7 days, and the transcription levels of antioxidant enzymes CAT, Cu-Zn SOD, Mn-SOD, GST, and GPX, and antioxidant pathway genes Keap1, Nrf2, and HO-1 changed significantly at multiple time-points during the 42 days. The results of apoptosis pathway genes showed that the mitochondrial pathway genes Bax, Casp3, and Casp9 were significantly upregulated and Bcl2 was significantly downregulated, while the transcription levels of FADD and PERK were significantly enhanced. These results indicate that BDE-47 induced oxidative damage in hepatopancreas, then it promoted cell apoptosis mainly through the mitochondrial pathway. This study provides a foundation for analyzing the mechanism of hepatotoxicity induced by BDE-47 on fish.

Lan Y, Gao X, Xu H, Li M. 20 years of polybrominated diphenyl ethers on toxicity assessments. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 249:121007. [PMID: 38096726 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.121007] [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: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) serve as brominated flame retardants which continue to receive considerable attention because of their persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential toxicity. Although PBDEs have been restricted and phased out, large amounts of commercial products containing PBDEs are still in use and discarded annually. Consequently, PBDEs added to products can be released into our surrounding environments, particularly in aquatic systems, thus posing great risks to human health. Many studies and reviews have described the possible toxic effects of PBDEs, while few studies have comprehensively summarized and analyzed the global trends of their toxicity assessment. Therefore, this study utilizes bibliometrics to evaluate the worldwide scientific output of PBDE toxicity and analyze the hotspots and future trends of this field. Firstly, the basic information including the most contributing countries/institutions, journals, co-citations, influential authors, and keywords involved in PBDE toxicity assessment will be visualized. Subsequently, the potential toxicity of PBDE exposure to diverse systems, such as endocrine, reproductive, neural, and gastrointestinal tract systems, and related toxic mechanisms will be discussed. Finally, we conclude this review by outlining the current challenges and future perspectives in environmentally relevant PBDE exposure, potential carriers for PBDE transport, the fate of PBDEs in the environment and human bodies, advanced stem cell-derived organoid models for toxicity assessment, and promising omics technologies for obtaining toxic mechanisms. This review is expected to offer systematical insights into PBDE toxicity assessments and facilitate the development of PBDE-based research.

Abstract
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a group of flame retardants used in plastics, textiles, polyurethane foam, and other materials. They contain two halogenated aromatic rings bonded by an ester bond and are classified according to the number and position of bromine atoms. Due to their widespread use, PBDEs have been detected in soil, air, water, dust, and animal tissues. Besides, PBDEs have been found in various tissues, including liver, kidney, adipose, brain, breast milk and plasma. The continued accumulation of PBDEs has raised concerns about their potential toxicity, including hepatotoxicity, kidney toxicity, gut toxicity, thyroid toxicity, embryotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, and immunotoxicity. Previous studies have suggested that there may be various mechanisms contributing to PBDEs toxicity. The present study aimed to outline PBDEs' toxic effects and mechanisms on different organ systems. Given PBDEs' bioaccumulation and adverse impacts on human health and other living organisms, we summarize PBDEs' effects and potential toxicity mechanisms and tend to broaden the horizons to facilitate the design of new prevention strategies for PBDEs-induced toxicity.

Abstract
Plastic products such as fishing nets and foam buoys have been widely used in aquaculture. To enhance the desirable characteristics of the final equipment, plastic gear for aquaculture is mixed with a wide range of additives. Recent studies have shown that additives could be leached out to the environment with a long-term use of aquaculture plastics, forming aquaculture-derived plastic leachates. It should be emphasized that some leachates such as phthalic acid esters (PAEs) and organophosphate esters (OPEs) are endocrine disruptors, which could increase the exposure risk of aquatic products and subsequently display potential threats to human health via food chain. However, systematic studies on the release, occurrence, bioaccumulation, and toxic effects of aquaculture-derived plastic leachates are missing, overlooking their potential sources and ecotoxicological risks in aquatic environments. We have reviewed and compared the concentrations of major plastic leachates in the water environment and organisms of global aquaculture and non-farmed areas, confirming that aquaculture leachate is an important source of contaminants in the environment. Moreover, the toxic effects of aquaculture-derived plastic additives and the related mechanisms are summarized with fish as a representative, revealing their potential health risk. In addition, we proposed current challenges and future research needs, which provides scientific guidance for the use and management of plastic products in aquaculture industries.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 885:163766. [PMID: 37146804 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.163766] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
The energetic response of blue mussel Mytilus edulis when coping with tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) exposure was evaluated from the perspective of alterations in energy supply mode, and the possible regulating mechanism was discussed based on a 21-day bioassay. The results showed that the energy supply mode changed with concentration: 0.1 μg/L BDE-47 decreased the activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), malate dehydrogenase and oxidative phosphorylation, suggesting inhibition of the tricarboxylic (TCA) acid cycle and aerobic respiration. The coincident increase in phosphofructokinase and the decrease in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) indicated that glycolysis and anaerobic respiration were increased. When exposed to 1.0 μg/L BDE-47, M. edulis mainly utilized aerobic respiration, but lowered glucose metabolism as indicated by the decrease in glutamine and l-leucine was suggested to be involved in this process, which was differed from that in the control. The reoccurrence of IDH and SDH inhibition as well as LDH elevation indicated attenuation of aerobic and anaerobic respiration when the concentration increased to 10 μg/L, but severe protein damage was evidenced based on the elevation of amino acids and glutamine. Under the 0.1 μg/L BDE-47, activation of the AMPK-Hif-1a signaling pathway promoted the expression of glut1, which was the potential mechanism for the improvement of anaerobic respiration, and further activated glycolysis and anaerobic respiration. This study shows that the energy supply mode experienced a conversion from aerobic respiration under normal conditions to anaerobic mode in the low BDE-47 treatment and back to aerobic respiration with increasing BDE-47 concentrations, which may represent a potential mechanism for mussel physiological responses when faced with different levels of BDE-47 stress.

[PMID: 36152834 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.136562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2022] [Revised: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 09/18/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The health risks associated with 2,2',4,4'-tetra-bromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) have become an increasing concern due to its widespread presence in the environment and biological samples. To date, the potential toxicity of BDE-47 to immune system remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to study the immunotoxicity of BDE-47 using spleen-derived lymphocytes in vitro and BALB/c mice in vivo. In vitro results showed that lymphocytes exposed to 12.5-100 μM BDE-47 exhibited unchanged cell viability but decreased release of IL-6 and TNF-α when responding to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The expression levels of p-p65, p-IκBα, TrkA and p-Akt involved in NF-κB pathway were obviously decreased, and NF-κB activator PMA could recover the BDE-47-induced inhibitory effect on IL-6 and TNF-α release by lymphocytes in response to LPS. In vivo data showed that BDE-47 orally administered to mice (1 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg per day, 30 days) did not significantly affect body weight, organ index and histomorphology of spleen. However, ELISA assay showed that serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels from BDE-47-treated mice after intraperitoneal injection of LPS were significantly reduced, and high-throughput mouse cytokines screening found 13 more cytokines down-regulated in the serum. Transcriptomic sequencing of spleens identified 488 differential expressed genes (DEGs). GO enrichment analysis of these DEGs suggested that the GO term of response to LPS (GO: 0032,496) was significantly involved. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the down-regulated DEGs significantly enriched in multiple immune-related signaling pathways including the NF-κB signaling pathway (mmu04064). Overall, these data suggested that BDE-47 could negatively regulate NF-κB signaling pathways to inhibit the immune response of lymphocytes to LPS, suggesting that exposures to BDE-47 may disturb the immune balance and increase the body's susceptibility to infectious diseases.

Comparative Study on Immune Function of the Head and Trunk Kidney in Rainbow Trout Responding to IHNV Infection. Viruses 2022; 14:v14122663.

Abstract
A teleost's kidney was divided into head kidney and trunk kidney. The head kidney is an important lymphatic organ, while the trunk kidney mainly performs osmotic pressure regulation and excretion functions. Previous studies have shown that the teleost's head kidney exerts a strong immune response against pathogen invasion, while the mechanism of immune response in the trunk kidney is still rarely reported. Therefore, in this study, we established an Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) immersion infection model to compare the similarities and differences of immune response mechanisms between the head kidney and trunk kidney against viral infection. The results showed that IHNV infection causes severe tissue damage and inflammatory reaction in the head and trunk kidney, triggers a series of interferon cascade reactions, and produces strong immune response. In addition, the transcriptome data showed that the head kidney and trunk kidney had similar immune response mechanisms, which showed that the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway and Toll-like receptor signaling pathway were activated. In conclusion, despite functional differentiation, the teleost's trunk kidney still has a strong immune response, especially the interferon-stimulated genes, which have stronger immune response in the trunk kidney than in the head kidney when responding to IHNV infection. This study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the teleost immune system and enriches the theory of kidney immunity in teleosts.

Abstract
2,2,4,4-tetra-brominated diphenyl ether (PBDE-47)-the dominant homologue of polybrominated diphenyl ethers-is a toxic environmental pollutant in the aquatic environment that continuously exists and bioaccumulates in the aquatic food chain. In experimental disease models, melatonin (MEL) has been reported to attenuate necroptosis and inflammatory responses. To further explore the mechanism underlying PBDE-47 toxicity and the mitigative impact of MEL detoxification, in this study, fish kidney cell models of PBDE-47 poisoning and/or MEL treatment were developed. The Ctenopharyngodon idellus kidney (CIK) cell line was treated with PBDE-47 (100 μM) and/or MEL (60 μM) for 24 h. Experimental data suggest that PBDE-47 exposure resulted in the enhancement of cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, induction of calcium dysmetabolism, decrease in the miR-140-5p miRNA level, upregulation of Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB), triggering of receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase-induced necroptosis, and NF-κB pathway mediated secretion of inflammatory factors in CIK cells. PBDE-47-induced CIK cell damage could be mitigated by MEL through the regulation of calcium channels and the restoration of disorders of the miR-140-5p/TLR4/NF-κB axis. Overall, MEL relieved PBDE-47-induced necroptosis and the secretion of inflammatory factors through the miR-140-5p/TLR4/NF-κB axis. These findings enrich the current understanding of the toxicological molecular mechanisms of the PBDE-47 as well as the detoxification mechanisms of the MEL.

Abstract
Marine bivalves can accumulate large amounts of pollutants from sea water, sediments and microalgae due to their filter-feeding habits. BDE-47 is often the most highly concentrated congener in bivalves. BDE-47 has been found to have toxic effects on bivalves, however, the immunotoxicity and the underlying mechanisms of BDE-47 on bivalves are not well understood yet. In this study, isolated hemocytes of Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum were exposed to five concentrations of BDE-47 (6.25 μM, 12.5 μM, 25 μM, 50 μM, 100 μM), the effects of BDE-47 on hemocyte survival rate, cell viability, granulocyte ratio, phagocytosis, bacteriolytic activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS), lysosomal membrane permeability (LMP), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and phosphorylation state of extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) and p38 at 2 h, 6 h and 12 h were studied. The results indicated that BDE-47 exposure declined the hemocyte cell viability, reduced the granulocyte ratio, hampered the hemocyte phagocytosis and bacteriolytic activity, elevated the ROS levels, increased the LMP, significantly changed SOD expression and depressed the phosphorylation levels of ERK and p38. Taken together, the results demonstrated that BDE-47 had significant toxic effects on the immune function, and the immunotoxicity may partly via the overproduction of ROS and the alteration of MAPK signaling pathways.

Abstract
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are toxic to marine organisms including the major primary producer phytoplankton, while the toxic mechanisms haven't yet been fully clarified. Therefore, we comprehensively studied the toxic mechanisms of BDE-47 on the marine chlorophyte Chlorella sp., with a focus on the role of cellular oxidative stress. The results indicate that BDE-47 stress resulted in the inhibition of population growth as well as cell death and programmed cell death. The antioxidant system was activated in both low and high BDE-47 treatments, but only microalgal cells in the high BDE-47 treatment showed cellular oxidative stress. By adding ROS inhibitor, the relief of photosynthetic inhibition, Ca2+ overproduction and cell death was found. Therefore, we conclude that photosynthetic damage, cell death and cellular oxidative stress were the major mechanisms of BDE-47 toxicity to Chlorella sp., and that cellular oxidative stress played an important role in mediating the other mechanisms.

Effects of trophic 2,2', 4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) exposure in Oreochromis niloticus: A multiple biomarkers analysis. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 2021; 87:103693.

Abstract
Polybrominated diphenyl esters are emerging environmental contaminants with few toxicological data, being a concern for the scientific community. This study evaluated the effects of BDE-47 on the health of Oreochromis niloticus fish. The animals were exposed to three doses of BDE-47 (0, 0.253, 2.53, 25.3 ng g-1) every 10 days, for 80 days. The BDE-47 affected the hepatosomatic and gonadosomatic index in female and the condition factor by intermediate dose in both sexes. The levels of estradiol decreased and the T4 are increased, but the vitellogenin production was not modulated in male individuals. Changes in AChE, GST, LPO and histopathology were observed while the integrated biomarker response index suggests that the lowest dose of BDE-47 compromised the activity of antioxidant enzymes. The oral exposure to BDE-47 in environmental concentrations is toxic to O. niloticus and the use of multiple biomarkers is an attribution in ecotoxicology studies and biomonitoring programs.

Abstract
Depiction on an energetic chain in terms of assimilation, allocation and consumption as well as the linkage between energetic alteration and physiological process was performed in blue mussel Mytilus edulis coping with tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) based on a 21-day bioassay to shed light on the possible mechanism from energetic perspective. The filtration was hindered along with BDE-47 concentration increment and the influence of digestion was suggested according to the combination of the digestive enzymatic activities' alteration and digestive gland tissue impairment, both of which decided the energy availability reduction. Energy consumption indicated by the electron transport system activity was firstly inhibited while was greatly increased with BDE-47 increment, and the cellular energy allocation and adenylate pool were decreased simultaneously. An energetic chain was thus depicted: it tended to reduce energy absorption, elevate the energy consumption and decrease the energy metabolism with BDE-47 exposure, and M. edulis adopted the energetic strategy with variation regarding to the stressing level, suggesting as the preference switched from protein utilization to lipid utilization with the concentration increment. A consistence was observed in index of growth and survival with the change of energy allocation, inferring the energetic involvement in sustaining the viability of the mussel.
