Daily exposure to chlordecone, an organochlorine pesticide, increases cardiac fibrosis and atrial fibrillation vulnerability. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 478:135533. [PMID: 39173376 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135533] [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: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 08/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
CONTEXT Chlordecone (CLD) is a carcinogenic organochlorine pesticide. CLD was shown to disturb the activity of cardiac Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase. Conditions affecting these transmembrane pumps are often associated with cardiac arrhythmias (CA). However, little is known about the role of CLD on atrial fibrillation (AF) incidence, the most common type of CA. HYPOTHESES 1) Daily ingestion of CLD induces arrhythmogenic cardiac remodeling. 2) A phase of CLD withdrawal can reduce CLD-induced AF susceptibility. METHODS Adult male Wistar rats (250 g-275 g) ingested daily-doses of CLD (0 μg/L, 0.1 μg/L, or 1 μg/L) diluted in their quotidian water for 4 weeks. From day (D)29 to D56, all rats received CLD-free water. Vulnerability to AF and cardiac function were evaluated at D28 and D56 by electrophysiological study, echocardiography, and optical-mapping. Levels of genes and proteins related to inflammation, fibrosis, and senescence were quantified by qPCR and immunoassays. RESULTS Twenty-eight days of CLD exposure were associated with significantly increased AF vulnerability compared to CLD-free rats. Contamination with 1 μg/L CLD significantly reduced atrial conduction velocity (ERP, APD). CLD-weaning normalized food consumption and weight intake. However, after the CLD-withdrawal period of 28 days, AF inducibility, atrial inflammation (IL6, IL1β), and atrial fibrosis (Masson's trichrome staining) remained significantly higher in rats exposed to 1 μg/L CLD compared to 0 μg/L. CONCLUSIONS Prolonged CLD ingestion provokes atrial conduction slowing and increased risk of AF. Although CLD-weaning, some persistent damages occurred in the atrium like atrial fibrosis and atrial senescence signals, which are accompanied by atrial inflammation and arrhythmogenicity.

Is a dissipation half-life of 5 years for chlordecone in soils of the French West Indies relevant? ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 324:121283. [PMID: 36804884 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Recently, Comte et al. (2022) re-examined the natural degradation of chlordecone (CLD) in the soils of the French West Indies (FWI) by introducing an additional 'dissipation parameter' into the WISORCH model developed by Cabidoche et al. (2009). Recent data sets of CLD concentrations in FWI soils obtained by Comte et al. enabled them optimizing the model parameters, resulting in significantly shorter estimates of pollution persistence than in the original model. Their conclusions jeopardize the paradigm of a very limited degradation of CLD in FWI soils, which may lead to an entire revision of the management of CLD contamination. However, we believe that their study is questionable on several important aspects. This includes potential biases in the data sets and in the modeling approach. It results in an inconsistency between the estimated dissipation half-life time (DT50) of five years that the authors determined for CLD and the fate of CLD in soil from the application period 1972-1993 until nowadays. Most importantly, a rapid dissipation of CLD in the field as proposed by Comte et al. is not sufficiently supported by data and estimates. Hence, the paradigm of long-term persistence of CLD in FWI soils is still to be considered.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 866:161205.

Abstract
Land use change and anthropogenic forcing can drastically alter the rates and patterns of sediment transport and modify biodiversity and ecosystem functions in coastal transition zones, such as the coastal ecosystems. Molecular studies of sediment extracted DNAs provide information on currently living organisms within the upper layers or buried from various periods of time, but might also provide knowledge on species dynamics, replacement and turnover. In this study, we evaluated the eukaryotic communities of a marine core that present a shift in soil erosion that was linked to glyphosate usage and correlated to chlordecone resurgence since 2000. We show differences in community composition between samples from the second half of the last century and those from the last two decades. Temporal analyses of the relative abundance, alpha diversity, and beta diversity for the two periods demonstrated different temporal dynamics depending on the considered taxonomic group. In particular, Ascomycetes showed a decrease in abundance over the most recent period associated with changes in community membership but not community structure. Two photosynthetic groups, Bacillariophyceae and Prasinophytes clade VII, showed a different pattern with an increase in abundance since the beginning of the 21st century with a decrease in diversity and evenness to form more heterogeneous communities dominated by a few abundant OTUs. Altogether, our data reveal that agricultural usages such as pesticide use can have long-term and species-dependent implications for microeukaryotic coastal communities on a tropical island.

Critical Evaluation of Cross-Sectoral Collaborations to Inform the Implementation of the "One Health" Approach in Guadeloupe. Front Public Health 2021; 9:652079. [PMID: 34409004 PMCID: PMC8366749 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2021.652079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
In Guadeloupe, a French overseas territory located in the Eastern Caribbean, infectious and non-infectious diseases, loss of biodiversity, natural disasters and global change threaten the health and well-being of animals, plants, and people. Implementing the “One Health” (OH) approach is crucial to reduce the archipelago's vulnerability to these health threats. However, OH remains underdeveloped in Guadeloupe, hampering efficient and effective intersectoral and transdisciplinary collaborations for disease surveillance and control. A multidisciplinary research group of volunteer researchers working in Guadeloupe, with collective expertise in infectious diseases, undertook a study to identify key attributes for OH operationalization by reviewing past and current local collaborative health initiatives and analyzing how much they mobilized the OH framework. The research group developed and applied an operational OH framework to assess critically collaborative initiatives addressing local health issues. Based on a literature review, a set of 13 opinion-based key criteria was defined. The criteria and associated scoring were measured through semi-directed interviews guided by a questionnaire to critically evaluate four initiatives in animal, human, plant, and environmental health research and epidemiological surveillance. Gaps, levers, and prospects were identified that will help health communities in Guadeloupe envision how to implement the OH approach to better address local health challenges. The methodology is simple, generic, and pragmatic and relies on existing resources. It can be transposed and adapted to other contexts to improve effectiveness and efficiency of OH initiatives, based on lessons-learned of local past or current multi-interdisciplinary and intersectoral initiatives.

Genetic Analysis of Citrobacter sp.86 Reveals Involvement of Corrinoids in Chlordecone and Lindane Biotransformations. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:590061. [PMID: 33240246 PMCID: PMC7680753 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.590061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Chlordecone (Kepone®) and γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH or lindane) have been used for decades in the French West Indies (FWI) resulting in long-term soil and water pollution. In a previous work, we have identified a new Citrobacter species (sp.86) that is able to transform chlordecone into numerous products under anaerobic conditions. No homologs to known reductive dehalogenases or other candidate genes were found in the genome sequence of Citrobacter sp.86. However, a complete anaerobic pathway for cobalamin biosynthesis was identified. In this study, we investigated whether cobalamin or intermediates of cobalamin biosynthesis was required for chlordecone microbiological transformation. For this purpose, we constructed a set of four Citrobacter sp.86 mutant strains defective in several genes belonging to the anaerobic cobalamin biosynthesis pathway. We monitored chlordecone and its transformation products (TPs) during long-term incubation in liquid cultures under anaerobic conditions. Chlordecone TPs were detected in the case of cobalamin-producing Citrobacter sp.86 wild-type strain but also in the case of mutants able to produce corrinoids devoid of lower ligand. In contrast, mutants unable to insert the cobalt atom in precorrin-2 did not induce any transformation of chlordecone. In addition, it was found that lindane, previously shown to be anaerobically transformed by Citrobacter freundii without evidence of a mechanism, was also degraded in the presence of the wild-type strain of Citrobacter sp.86. The lindane degradation abilities of the various Citrobacter sp.86 mutant strains paralleled chlordecone transformation. The present study shows the involvement of cobalt-containing corrinoids in the microbial degradation of chlorinated compounds with different chemical structures. Their increased production in contaminated environments could accelerate the decontamination processes.
