Protective effects of Y-27632 against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity: A zebrafish model Y-27632 and cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Food Chem Toxicol 2024; 190:114792. [PMID: 38849049 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2024.114792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
Cisplatin is an effective chemotherapy agent against various solid malignancies; however, it is associated with irreversible bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, emphasizing the need for drug development to prevent this complication, with the current options being very limited. Rho-associated coiled-coil-containing protein kinase (ROCK) is a serine-threonine protein kinase involved in various cellular processes, including apoptosis regulation. In this study, we used a transgenic zebrafish model (Brn3C: EGFP) in which hair cells within neuromasts are observed in green under fluorescent microscopy without the need for staining. Zebrafish larvae were exposed to cisplatin alone or in combination with various concentrations of Y-27632, a potent ROCK inhibitor. Hair cell counts, apoptosis assessments using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase biotin-dUTP nick end labeling assay, FM1-43FX labeling assay and behavioral analyses (startle response and rheotaxis) were performed to evaluate the protective effects of Y-27632 against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Cisplatin treatment reduced the number of hair cells in neuromasts, induced apoptosis, and impaired zebrafish larval behaviors. Y-27632 demonstrated a dose-dependent protective effect against cisplatin-induced hair cell loss and apoptosis. These findings suggest that Y-27632, as a ROCK inhibitor, mitigates cisplatin-induced hair cell loss and associated ototoxicity in zebrafish.

Measuring Optokinetic Reflex and Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex in Unilateral Vestibular Organ Damage Model of Zebrafish. J Assoc Res Otolaryngol 2024; 25:167-177.

Abstract
One-sided vestibular disorders are common in clinical practice; however, their models have not been fully established. We investigated the effect of unilateral or bilateral deficits in the vestibular organs on the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) and optokinetic reflex (OKR) of zebrafish using in-house equipment. For physical dislodgement of the otoliths in the utricles of zebrafish larvae, one or both utricles were separated from the surrounding tissue using glass capillaries. The video data from VOR and OKR tests with the larvae was collected and processed using digital signal processing techniques such as fast Fourier transform and low-pass filters. The results showed that unilateral and bilateral damage to the vestibular system significantly reduced VOR and OKR. In contrast, no significant difference was observed between unilateral and bilateral damage. This study confirmed that VOR and OKR were significantly reduced in zebrafish with unilateral and bilateral vestibular damage. Follow-up studies on unilateral vestibular disorders can be conducted using this tool.

Abstract
Environmental pollution poses risks to ecosystems. Among these risks, one finds neurotoxicity and damage to the lateral line structures of fish, such as the neuromast and its hair cells. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is recommended as model species to be used in ecotoxicological studies and environmental biomonitoring programs aimed at assessing several biomarkers, such as ototoxicity. However, little is known about the history of and knowledge gaps on zebrafish ototoxicity. Thus, the aim of the current study is to review data available in the scientific literature about using zebrafish as animal model to assess neuromast toxicity. It must be done by analyzing the history and publication category, world production, experimental design, developmental stages, chemical classes, neuromasts and hair cell visualization methods, and zebrafish strains. Based on the results, number, survival and fluorescence intensity of neuromasts, and their hair cells, were the parameters oftentimes used to assess ototoxicity in zebrafish. The wild AB strain was the most used one, and it was followed by Tübingen and transgenic strains with GFP markers. DASPEI was the fluorescent dye most often applied as method to visualize neuromasts, and it was followed by Yo-Pro-1 and GFP transgenic lines. Antibiotics, antitumorals, metals, nanoparticles and plant extracts were the most frequent classes of chemicals used in the analyzed studies. Overall, pollutants can harm zebrafish's mechanosensory system, as well as affect their behavior and survival. Results have shown that zebrafish is a suitable model system to assess ototoxicity induced by environmental pollution.

Abstract
To control elevation underwater, aquatic vertebrates integrate multisensory information (e.g., vestibular, visual, proprioceptive) to guide posture and swim kinematics. Here we characterized how larval zebrafish changed posture and locomotive strategies after imposed instability (decreased buoyancy) in the presence and absence of visual cues. We discovered that larvae sank more after acute loss of lateral line (flow-sensing) hair cells. In response, larvae engaged different compensatory strategies, depending on whether they were in the light or dark. In the dark, larvae swam more frequently, engaging their trunk to steer their nose up and climb more effectively. However, in the light, larvae climbed more often, engaging both pectoral fins and trunk to elevate. We conclude that larvae sense instability and use vestibular and visual information as available to control posture and trajectory. Our work is a step towards understanding the multisensory neural computations responsible for control strategies that allow orientation and navigation in depth.

Abstract
Our study investigated the embryo-ototoxic effects of deodorant2 (DA2) on zebrafish embryos, which serve as valuable model organisms due to genetic and physiological similarities to humans. We focused on understanding DA2's impact on zebrafish hair cells, which are vital for sensory perception and balance regulation. DA2, provided by the Ministry of Environment, Republic of Korea, was used at 460 μg/mL in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), with a 0.43% DMSO solvent control group. Three experiments, each using 10 zebrafish specimens from each group, showed an initial 13% hair cell count reduction in the DA2-exposed group. Subsequent experiments demonstrated reductions of 37% and 22%, each with one mortality case. Statistical analysis revealed a significant 24% hair cell count reduction in the DA2-exposed group. We also assessed DA2's impact on zebrafish behavior. Although not statistically significant, differences in distances traveled (0.33-0.39, 95% confidence interval: -0.46-1.1, p = 0.2033) and latencies (-0.016-0.018, 95% confidence interval: -0.052-0.021, p = 0.1917) hinted at negative effects. These results highlight DA2's ototoxic properties affecting zebrafish auditory systems and behavior. Further investigation into DA2's effects on aquatic organisms and potential mitigation strategies are essential. These findings contribute to understanding DA2's safety profile, benefiting aquatic ecosystems and human health assessments.

Abstract
The zebrafish lateral line is a frequently used model to study the mechanisms behind peripheral neuronal innervation of sensory organs and the regeneration thereof. The lateral line system consists of neuromasts, a cluster of protruding hair cells, which are innervated by sensory afferent and modulatory efferent neurons. These flow-sensing hair cells are similar to the hair cells in the mammalian ear. Though, while hair cell loss in humans is irreversible, the zebrafish neuromasts are regarded as the fastest regenerating structure in vertebrates, making them an ideal model to study regeneration. However, one component of the lateral line system, the efferent projections, has largely been omitted in regenerative studies. Here, for the first time, we bring insights into the fate of efferent axons during ablation and regeneration of the hair cells in the zebrafish lateral line. Our behavioral analysis showed functional recovery of hair cells and sensory transmission within 48 h and their regeneration were in line with previous studies. Analysis of the inhibitory efferent projections revealed that in approximately half the cases the inhibitory efferent axons degenerated, which was never observed for the sensory afferent axons. Quantification of hair cells following ablation suggests that the presence of mature hair cells in the neuromast may prevent axon degeneration. Within 120 h, degenerated efferent axons regenerated along the axonal tract of the lateral line. Reanalysis of published single cell neuromast data hinted to a role for Bdnf in the survival of efferent axons. However, sequestering Bdnf, blocking the Trk-receptors, and inhibiting the downstream ERK-signaling, did not induce axon degeneration, indicating that efferent survival is not mediated through neurotrophic factors. To further explore the relation between hair cells and efferent projections, we generated atoh1a mutants, where mature hair cells never form. In larvae lacking hair cells, inhibitory efferent projections were still present, following the tract of the sensory afferent without displaying any innervation. Our study reveal the fate of efferent innervation following hair cell ablation and provide insights into the inherent differences in regeneration between neurons in the peripheral and central nervous system.

Abstract
Sarcoglycanopathies, also known as limb girdle muscular dystrophy 3-6, are rare muscular dystrophies characterized, although heterogeneous, by high disability, with patients often wheelchair-bound by late adolescence and frequently developing respiratory and cardiac problems. These diseases are currently incurable, emphasizing the importance of effective treatment strategies and the necessity of animal models for drug screening and therapeutic verification. Using the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technique, we generated and characterized δ-sarcoglycan and β-sarcoglycan knockout zebrafish lines, which presented a progressive disease phenotype that worsened from a mild larval stage to distinct myopathic features in adulthood. By subjecting the knockout larvae to a viscous swimming medium, we were able to anticipate disease onset. The δ-SG knockout line was further exploited to demonstrate that a δ-SG missense mutant is a substrate for endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD), indicating premature degradation due to protein folding defects. In conclusion, our study underscores the utility of zebrafish in modeling sarcoglycanopathies through either gene knockout or future knock-in techniques. These novel zebrafish lines will not only enhance our understanding of the disease's pathogenic mechanisms, but will also serve as powerful tools for phenotype-based drug screening, ultimately contributing to the development of a cure for sarcoglycanopathies.

Abstract
The accumulation of antibiotics in the environment has ecological impacts that have received less attention than the human health risks of antibiotics, although the effects could be far-reaching. This review discusses the effects of antibiotics on the health of fish and zooplankton, manifesting in direct or dysbiosis-mediated physiological impairment. Acute effects of antibiotics in these organism groups are usually induced at high concentrations (LC50 at ∼100-1000 mg/L) that are not commonly present in aquatic environments. However, when exposed to sub-lethal, environmentally relevant levels of antibiotics (ng/L-μg/L) disruption of physiological homeostasis, development, and fecundity can occur. Antibiotics at similar or lower concentrations can induce dysbiosis of gut microbiota which can affect the health of fish and invertebrates. We show that the data about molecular-level effects of antibiotics at low exposure concentrations are limited, hindering environmental risk assessment and species sensitivity analysis. Fish and crustaceans (Daphnia sp.) were the two groups of aquatic organisms used most often for antibiotic toxicity testing, including microbiota analysis. While low levels of antibiotics impact the composition and function of gut microbiota in aquatic organisms, the correlation and causality of these changes to host physiology are not straightforward. In some cases, negative or lack of correlation have occurred, and, unexpectedly, gut microbial diversity has been unaffected or increased upon exposure to environmental levels of antibiotics. Efforts to incorporate functional analyses of gut microbiota are beginning to provide valuable mechanistic information, but more data is needed for ecological risk assessment of antibiotics.

[PMID: 37210931 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2023.106573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
In this study, we aimed to identify novel compounds that could afford protection against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by employing both cell- and zebrafish (Danio rerio)-based screening platforms. We screened 923 US Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs to identify potential compounds exhibiting protective effects against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in HEI-OC1 cells (auditory hair cell line). The screening strategy identified esomeprazole and dexlansoprazole as the primary hit compounds. Subsequently, we examined the effects of these compounds on cell viability and apoptosis. Our results revealed that esomeprazole and dexlansoprazole inhibited organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), thus providing in vitro evidence that these compounds could ameliorate cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by directly inhibiting OCT2-mediated cisplatin transport. In vivo, the protective effects were validated using zebrafish; esomeprazole was found to decrease cisplatin-induced hair cell damage in neuromasts. Furthermore, the esomeprazole-treated group showed a significantly lower number of TUNEL-positive cells than the cisplatin-treated group. Collectively, our findings revealed that esomeprazole exerts a protective effect against cisplatin-induced hair cell damage in both HEI-OC1 cells and a zebrafish model.

Abstract
Antimicrobial drugs represent a diverse group of widely utilized antibiotic, antifungal, antiparasitic and antiviral agents. Their growing use and clinical importance necessitate our improved understanding of physiological effects of antimicrobial drugs, including their potential effects on the central nervous system (CNS), at molecular, cellular, and behavioral levels. In addition, antimicrobial drugs can alter the composition of gut microbiota, and hence affect the gut-microbiota-brain axis, further modulating brain and behavioral processes. Complementing rodent studies, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) emerges as a powerful model system for screening various antimicrobial drugs, including probing their putative CNS effects. Here, we critically discuss recent evidence on the effects of antimicrobial drugs on brain and behavior in zebrafish, and outline future related lines of research using this aquatic model organism.

Abstract
The zebrafish lateral line is an established model for hair cell organ damage, yet few studies link mechanistic disruptions to changes in biologically relevant behavior. We used larval zebrafish to determine how damage via ototoxic compounds impact rheotaxis. Larvae were treated with CuSO4 or neomycin to disrupt lateral line function then exposed to water flow stimuli. Their swimming behavior was recorded on video then DeepLabCut and SimBA software were used to track movements and classify rheotaxis behavior, respectively. Lateral line-disrupted fish performed rheotaxis, but they swam greater distances, for shorter durations, and with greater angular variance than controls. Furthermore, spectral decomposition analyses confirmed that lesioned fish exhibited ototoxic compound-specific behavioral profiles with distinct changes in the magnitude, frequency, and cross-correlation between fluctuations in linear and angular movements. Our observations demonstrate that lateral line input is needed for fish to hold their station in flow efficiently and reveals that commonly used lesion methods have unique effects on rheotaxis behavior.

Abstract
Objective To elucidate the mechanism of Spatholobi Caulis (SC) in treating osteoporosis (OP) integrated zebrafish model and bioinformatics. Methods Skeleton staining coupled with image quantification was performed to evaluate the effects of SC on skeleton mineralization area (SSA) and total optical density (TOD). Zebrafish locomotor activity was monitored using the EthoVision XT. Bioactive compounds of SC and their corresponding protein targets were acquired from Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) database. Potential therapeutic targets for OP were summarized through retrieving 5 databases, and then, the overlapping genes between SC and OP were acquired. The core genes were selected by CytoHubba. Subsequently, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway and Gene Ontology (GO) functional analysis of the intersection target genes were carried out by R software. Finally, the molecular docking simulation was manipulated between the ingredients and the hub genes. Results Compared with the model group, SC significantly increased the SSA and TOD at 10 mg/mL and improved the locomotor activity in a dose-dependent manner (p < 0.001). 33 components of SC were associated with 72 OP-related genes including 10 core genes (MAPK1, VEGFA, MMP9, AKT1, AR, IL6, CALM3, TP53, EGFR, and CAT). Advanced Glycation End Product (AGE) Receptor for AGE (RAGE) signaling pathway was screened out as the principal pathway of SC in anti-OP. The bioactive components (Aloe-emodin, Emodin, Formononetin, Licochalcone A, Luteolin, and Lopac-I-3766) have excellent affinity to core genes (MAPK1, VEGFA, MMP9, AKT1, and IL6). Conclusion SC had the hierarchical network characteristics of "multicomponents/multitargets/multifunctions/multipathways" in reversing OP, but AGE-RAGE signaling pathway may be the main regulatory mechanism.

Cichoric Acid May Play a Role in Protecting Hair Cells from Ototoxic Drugs. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23126701. [PMID: 35743144 PMCID: PMC9224198 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23126701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2022] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Ototoxic hearing loss due to antibiotic medication including aminoglycosides and excess free radical production causes irreversible hair cell injury. Cichoric acid, a naturally occurring phenolic acid, has recently been found to exert anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties through its free radical scavenging capacity. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of cichoric acid against neomycin-induced ototoxicity using transgenic zebrafish (pvalb3b: TagGFP). Our results indicated that cichoric acid in concentrations up to 5 μM did not affect zebrafish viability during the 2 h treatment period. Therefore, the otoprotective concentration of cichoric acid was identified as 5 μM under 2 h treatment by counting viable hair cells within the neuromasts of the anterior- and posterior-lateral lines in the study. Pretreatment of transgenic zebrafish with 5 μM of cichoric acid for 2 h significantly protected against neomycin-induced hair cell death. Protection mediated by cichoric acid was, however, lost over time. A terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay and FM4-64 staining, respectively, provided in situ evidence that cichoric acid ameliorated apoptotic signals and mechanotransduction machinery impairment caused by neomycin. A fish locomotor test (distance move, velocity, and rotation frequency) assessing behavioral alteration after ototoxic damage revealed rescue due to cichoric acid pretreatment before neomycin exposure. These findings suggest that cichoric acid in 5 μM under 2 h treatment has antioxidant effects and can attenuate neomycin-induced hair cell death in neuromasts. Although cichoric acid offered otoprotection, there is only a small difference between pharmacological and toxic concentrations, and hence cichoric acid can be considered a rather prototypical compound for the development of safer otoprotective compounds.

Characterization of locomotor phenotypes in zebrafish larvae requires testing under both light and dark conditions. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0266491.

Abstract
Despite growing knowledge, much remains unknown regarding how signaling within neural networks translate into specific behaviors. To pursue this quest, we need better understanding of the behavioral output under different experimental conditions. Zebrafish is a key model to study the relationship between network and behavior and illumination is a factor known to influence behavioral output. By only assessing behavior under dark or light conditions, one might miss behavioral phenotypes exclusive to the neglected illumination setting. Here, we identified locomotor behavior, using different rearing regimes and experimental illumination settings, to showcase the need to assess behavior under both light and dark conditions. Characterization of free-swimming zebrafish larvae, housed under continuous darkness or a day/night cycle, did not reveal behavioral differences; larvae were most active during light conditions. However, larvae housed under a day/night cycle moved a shorter distance, had lower maximum velocity and maximum acceleration during the startle response under light conditions. Next, we explored if we could assess behavior under both dark and light conditions by presenting these conditions in sequence, using the same batch of larvae. Our experiments yielded similar results as observed for naïve larvae: higher activity during light conditions, regardless of order of illumination (i.e. dark-light or light-dark). Finally, we conducted these sequenced illumination conditions in an experimental setting by characterizing behavioral phenotypes in larvae following neuromast ablation. Depending on the illumination during testing, the behavioral phenotype following ablation was characterized differently. In addition, the results indicate that the order in which the light and dark conditions are presented has to be considered, as habituation may occur. Our study adds to existing literature on illumination-related differences in zebrafish behavior and emphasize the need to explore behavioral phenotypes under both light and dark condition to maximize our understanding of how experimental permutations affect behavior.

Evaluating the Death and Recovery of Lateral Line Hair Cells Following Repeated Neomycin Treatments. Life (Basel) 2021; 11:life11111180.

Abstract
Acute chemical ablation of lateral line hair cells is an important tool to understand lateral line-mediated behaviors in free-swimming fish larvae and adults. However, lateral line-mediated behaviors have not been described in fish larvae prior to swim bladder inflation, possibly because single doses of ototoxin do not effectively silence lateral line function at early developmental stages. To determine whether ototoxins can disrupt lateral line hair cells during early development, we repeatedly exposed zebrafish larvae to the ototoxin neomycin during a 36 h period from 3 to 4 days post-fertilization (dpf). We use simultaneous transgenic and vital dye labeling of hair cells to compare 6-h and 12-h repeated treatment timelines and neomycin concentrations between 0 and 400 µM in terms of larval survival, hair cell death, regeneration, and functional recovery. Following exposure to neomycin, we find that the emergence of newly functional hair cells outpaces cellular regeneration, likely due to the maturation of ototoxin-resistant hair cells that survive treatment. Furthermore, hair cells of 4 dpf larvae exhibit faster recovery compared to 3 dpf larvae. Our data suggest that the rapid functional maturation of ototoxin-resistant hair cells limits the effectiveness of chemical-based methods to disrupt lateral line function. Furthermore, we show that repeated neomycin treatments can continually ablate functional lateral line hair cells between 3 and 4 dpf in larval zebrafish.

Abstract
Strongly affecting human and animal physiology, sounds and vibration are critical environmental factors whose complex role in behavioral and brain functions necessitates further clinical and experimental studies. Zebrafish are a promising model organism for neuroscience research, including probing the contribution of auditory and vibration stimuli to neurobehavioral processes. Here, we summarize mounting evidence on the role of sound and vibration in zebrafish behavior and brain function, and outline future directions of translational research in this field. With the growing environmental exposure to noise and vibration, we call for more active use of zebrafish models for probing neurobehavioral and bioenvironmental consequences of acute and long-term exposure to sounds and vibration in complex biological systems.

Abstract
The overuse of antibiotics combined with the limitation of wastewater facilities has resulted in drug residue accumulation in the natural environment. Thus, in recent years, the presence of antibiotic residues in the environment has raised concerns over the potential harmful effects on ecosystems and human health. The in vivo studies represent an essential step to study the potential impact induced by pharmaceutical exposure. Due to the limitations of traditional vertebrate model systems, zebrafish (Danio rerio) has recently emerged as a promising animal model to study the toxic effects of drugs and their therapeutic efficacy. The present review summarizes the recent advances made on the toxicity of seven representative classes of antibiotics, namely aminoglycosides, β-lactams, macrolides, quinolones, sulfonamides, tetracyclines and polyether antibiotics, in zebrafish, as well as the combined effects of antibiotic mixtures, to date. Despite a significant amount of the literature describing the impact of single antibiotic exposure, little information exists on the effects of antibiotic mixtures using zebrafish as an animal model. Most of the research papers on this topic have focused on antibiotic toxicity in zebrafish across different developmental stages rather than on their efficacy assessment.

Differential impact of dose-range glyphosate on locomotor behavior, neuronal activity, glio-cerebrovascular structures, and transcript regulations in zebrafish larvae. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 267:128986.

Abstract
The presence of glyphosate represents a debated ecotoxicological and health risk factor. Here, zebrafish larvae were exposed, from 1.5 to 120 h post-fertilization, to a broad concentration range (0.05-10.000 μg/L) of glyphosate to explore its impact on the brain. We evaluated morphology, tracked locomotor behavior and neurophysiological parameters, examined neuro-glio-vascular cell structures, and outlined transcriptomic outcomes by RNA sequencing. At the concentration range tested, glyphosate did not elicit gross morphological changes. Behavioral analysis revealed a significant decrease in locomotor activity following the exposure to 1000 μg/L glyphosate or higher. In parallel, midbrain electrophysiological recordings indicated abnormal, and variable, spike activity in zebrafish larvae exposed to 1000 μg/L glyphosate. Next, we asked whether the observed neurophysiological outcome could be secondary to brain structural modifications. We used transgenic zebrafish and in vivo 2-photon microscopy to examine, at the cellular level, the effects of the behavior-modifying concentration of 1000 μg/L, comparing to low 0.1 μg/L, and control. We ruled out the presence of cerebrovascular and neuronal malformations. However, microglia morphological modifications were visible at the two glyphosate concentrations, specifically the presence of amoeboid cells suggestive of activation. Lastly, RNAseq analysis showed the deregulation of transcript families implicated in neuronal physiology, synaptic transmission, and inflammation, as evaluated at the two selected glyphosate concentrations. In zebrafish larvae, behavioral and neurophysiological defects occur after the exposure to high glyphosate concentrations while cellular and transcript signatures can be detected in response to low dose. The prospective applicability to ecotoxicology and the possible extension to brain-health vulnerability are critically discussed.
