Zhang W, Teng M, Yan J. Combined effect and mechanism of microplastic with different particle sizes and levofloxacin on developing Rana nigromaculata: Insights from thyroid axis regulation and immune system. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 366:121833. [PMID: 39003906 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121833] [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: 04/29/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) usually appear in the aquatic environment as complex pollutants with other environmental pollutants, such as levofloxacin (LVFX). After 45-day exposure to LVFX and MPs with different particle sizes at environmental levels, we measured the weight, snout-to-vent length (SVL), and development stages of Rana nigromaculata. Furthermore, we analyzed proteins and genes related to immune system and thyroid axis regulation, intestinal histological, and bioaccumulation of LVFX and MPs in the intestine and brain to further explore the toxic mechanism of co-exposure. We found MPs exacerbated the effect of LVFX on growth and development, and the order of inhibitory effects is as follows: LVFX-MP3>LVFX-MP1>LVFX-MP2. 0.1 and 1 μm MP could penetrate the blood-brain barrier, interact with LVFX in the brain, and affect growth and development by regulating thyroid axis. Besides, LVFX with MPs caused severer interference on thyroid axis compared with LVFX alone. However, 10 μm MP was prone to accumulating in the intestine, causing severe histopathological changes, interfering with the intestinal immune system and influencing growth and development through immune enzyme activity. Thus, we concluded that MPs could regulate the thyroid axis by interfering with the intestinal immune system.

Liu S, Yu Q, Liu J, Wang H, Wang X, Qin C, Li E, Qin J, Chen L. The interaction between lipid and vitamin D 3 impacts lipid metabolism and innate immunity in Chinese mitten crabs Eriocheir sinensis. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 147:109455. [PMID: 38369072 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109455] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024]
Abstract
As a fat-soluble vitamin, vitamin D3 relies on fat to perform its biological function, affecting lipid metabolism and innate immunity. This study used different percentages of lipid and vitamin D3 diets to evaluate the synergistic effects on the growth, lipid metabolism and immunity of juvenile Eriocheir sinensis (5.83 ± 0.01 g) for 56 days, including low lipid (LL, 1.5%) and normal lipid (NL, 7.5%) and three levels of vitamin D3: low (LVD, 0 IU/kg), medium (MVD, 9000 IU/kg) and high (HVD, 27,000, IU/kg). The synergistic effect of lipid and vitamin D3 was not significant on growth but significant on ash content, total protein, hepatopancreas lipid content, hemolymph 1α,25-hydroxy vitamin D3 [1α,25(OH)2D3] content, hepatopancreas lipolysis and synthesis genes. Crabs fed normal lipid (7.5%) and medium vitamin D3 (9000 IU/kg) had the highest hepatopancreas index, hemolymph 1α,25(OH)2D3 content, antibacterial ability, immune-related genes and hepatopancreatic lipid synthesis genes expression, but down-regulated the lipolysis genes expression. In contrast, crabs fed diets with low lipid percentage (1.5%) had low growth performance, hemolymph 1α,25(OH)2D3, mRNA levels of lipid synthesis genes, antibacterial ability and immune-related gene expression. At the 1.5% lipid level, excessive or insufficient vitamin D3 supplementation led to the obstruction of ash and protein deposition, reduced growth and molting, aggravated the reduction in antioxidant capacity, hindered antimicrobial peptide gene expression and reduced innate immunity, and resulted in abnormal lipid accumulation and the risk of oxidative stress. This study suggests that diets' lipid and vitamin D3 percentage can enhance antioxidant capacity, lipid metabolism and innate immunity in E. sinensis. A low lipid diet can cause growth retardation, reduce antioxidant capacity and innate immunity, and enhance lipid metabolism disorder.

Abstract
An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary vitamin D3 supplementation on the growth performance, tissue Ca and P concentrations, antioxidant capacity, immune response and lipid metabolism in Litopenaeus vannamei larvae. A total of 720 shrimp (initial weight 0·50 ± 0·01 g) were randomly distributed into six treatments, each of which had three duplicates of forty shrimp per duplicate. Six isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated to contain graded vitamin D3 (0·18, 0·23, 0·27, 0·48, 0·57 and 0·98 mg/kg of vitamin D3, measured) supplementation levels. The results revealed that L. vannamei fed diet containing 0·48 mg/kg of vitamin D3 achieved the best growth performance. Compared with the control group, supplementing 0·48 mg/kg of vitamin D3 significantly increased (P < 0·05) the activities of catalase, total antioxidative capacity, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase in serum and hepatopancreas. Expression levels of antioxidant and immune-related genes were synchronously increased (P < 0·05). Carapace P and Ca concentrations were increased (P < 0·05) with the increased vitamin D3 supplementation levels. Further analysis of lipid metabolism-related genes expression showed that shrimp fed 0·48 mg of vitamin D3 per kg diet showed the highest value in the expression of lipid synthesis-related genes, while shrimp fed 0·98 mg of vitamin D3 per kg diet showed the highest value in the expression of lipolysis-related genes. In conclusion, the results of present study indicated that dietary supplementation of 0·48 mg/kg of vitamin D3 could increase Ca and P concentrations, improve antioxidant capacity and immune response, and influence lipid metabolism in L. vannamei.

Abstract
Insulin-like peptides (ILPs) play key roles in animal growth, metabolism and reproduction in vertebrates. In crustaceans, one type of ILPs, insulin-like androgenic gland hormone (IAG) had been reported to be related to the sex differentiations. However, the function of other types of ILPs is rarely reported. Here, we identified another type of ILPs in the ridgetail white prawn Exopalaemon carinicauda (EcILP), which is an ortholog of Drosophila melanogaster ILP7. Sequence characterization and expression analyses showed that EcILP is similar to vertebrate insulin/IGFs and insect ILPs in its heterodimeric structure and expression profile. Using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology, we generated EcILP knockout (KO) prawns. EcILP-KO individuals have a significant higher growth-inhibitory trait and mortality than those in the normal group. In addition, knockdown of EcILP by RNA interference (RNAi) resulted in slower growth rate and higher mortality. These results indicated that EcILP was an important growth regulator in E. carinicauda.

Abstract
Vitamin D3 (vit-D3), as an indispensable and fat-soluble nutrient, is associated with skeletal mineralization and health in mammals. However, such associations have not been well studied in economically important crustaceans. Six levels of vit-D3 with isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were used to feed Eriocheir sinensis. The range of optimal vit-D3 requirements is 5685.43-10,000 IU/kg based on growth. The crabs fed 9000 IU/kg vit-D3 showed the best growth performance. This vit-D3 dose significantly increased antioxidant capacity in the hepatopancreas and intestine and was optimal for molting and innate immunity via quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Transcriptomics analyses indicate that vit-D3 could alter protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, steroid biosynthesis, and antigen processing and presentation. As shown by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, vit-D3 could improve vitamin D receptor, retinoic acid receptor, and C-type lectins concentrations. The 1α,25-dihydroxy vit-D3 content in serum was significantly higher in 3000-9000 IU/kg vit-D3. The study suggests that dietary vit-D3 and its metabolites can regulate molting and innate immunity in crabs.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a kind of iron-dependent programed cell death. Vitamin D has been shown to be an antioxidant and a regulator of iron metabolism, but the relationship between vitamin D and ferroptosis is poorly studied in fish. This study used zebrafish liver cells (ZFL) to establish a ferroptosis model to explore the effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on cell ferroptosis and its mechanism of action. The results showed that different incubation patterns of 1,25(OH)2D3 improved the survival rate of ZFL, mitigated mitochondrial damage, enhanced total glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, and reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation (LPO), and malondialdehyde (MDA), as well as iron ion levels, with the best effect at 200 pM 1,25(OH)2D3 preincubation for 72 h. Preincubation of ZFL at 200 pM 1,25(OH)2D3 for 72 h downgraded keap1 and ptgs2 gene expression, increased nrf2, ho-1, fth1, gpx4a,b expression, and lowered the expression of the nf-κb p65,il-6,il-1β gene, thus reducing the expression of hamp1. The above results indicate that different incubation patterns of 1,25(OH)2D3 have protective effects on ferroptosis of ZFL induced by ferroptosis activator RSL3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 can inhibit ferroptosis of ZFL by regulating Keap1-Nrf2-GPx4 and NF-κB-hepcidin axis.
