[PMID: 38843745 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116529] [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: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
The contamination of water by arsenic (As) has emerged as a significant environmental concern due to its well-documented toxicity. Environmentally relevant concentrations of As have been reported to pose a considerable threat to fish. However, previous studies mainly focused on the impacts of As at environmentally relevant concentrations on adult fish, and limited information is available regarding its impacts on fish at early life stage. In this study, zebrafish embryos were employed to evaluate the environmental risks following exposure to different concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75 and 150 μg/L) of pentavalent arsenate (AsV) for 120 hours post fertilization. Our findings indicated that concentrations ≤ 150 μg/L AsV did not exert significant effects on survival or aberration; however, it conspicuously inhibited heart rate of zebrafish larvae. Furthermore, exposure to AsV significantly disrupted mRNA transcription of genes associated with cardiac development, and elongated the distance between the sinus venosus and bulbus arteriosus at 75 μg/L and 150 μg/L treatments. Additionally, AsV exposure enhanced superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity at 50, 75 and 150 μg/L treatments, and increased mRNA transcriptional levels of Cu/ZnSOD and MnSOD at 75 and 150 μg/L treatments. Concurrently, AsV suppressed metallothionein1 (MT1) and MT2 mRNA transcriptions while elevating heat shock protein70 mRNA transcription levels in zebrafish larvae resulting in elevated malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. These findings provide novel insights into the toxic effects exerted by low concentrations of AsV on fish at early life stage, thereby contributing to an exploration into the environmental risks associated with environmentally relevant concentrations.

Abstract
Xanthatin (XAN), a xanthanolide sesquiterpene lactone, isolated from Chinese herb, Xanthium strumarium L, has various pharmacological activities, such as antitumor activity and anti-inflammatory. However, little is known about its potential toxicity and the mechanism. Here, zebrafish model was used to study the developmental toxicity in vivo. Our results indicated that xanthatin increased the mortality and led to the morphological abnormalities including pericardial edema, yolk sac edema, curved body shape and hatching delay. Furthermore, xanthatin damaged the normal structure and/or function of heart, liver, immune and nervous system. ROS elevation and much more apoptosis cells were observed after xanthatin exposure. Gene expression results showed that oxidative stress-related genes nrf2 was inhibited, while oxidative stress-related genes (keap1 and nqo1) and apoptotic genes (caspase3, caspase9 and p53) were increased after xanthatin exposure. Mitophagy related genes pink1 and parkin, and wnt pathway (β-catenin, wnt8a and wnt11) were significantly increased after xanthatin exposure. Taken together, our finding indicated that xanthatin induced developmental toxicity, and the ROS elevation, apoptosis activation, dysregulation of mitophagy and wnt pathways were involved in the toxicity caused by xanthatin.

Abstract
Sanguinarine is a quaternary ammonium benzophenanthine alkaloid found in traditional herbs such as Chelidonium, Corydalis, Sanguinarum, and Borovula. It has been proven to possess broad-spectrum biological activities, such as antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antiosteoporosis, neuroprotective, and antipathogenic microorganism activities. In this paper, recent progress on the biological activity and mechanism of action of sanguinarine and its derivatives over the past ten years is reviewed. The results showed that the biological activities of hematarginine and its derivatives are related mainly to the JAK/STAT, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, NF-κB, TGF-β, MAPK and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. The limitations of using sanguinarine in clinical application are also discussed, and the research prospects of this subject are outlined. In general, sanguinarine, a natural medicine, has many pharmacological effects, but its toxicity and safety in clinical application still need to be further studied. This review provides useful information for the development of sanguinarine-based bioactive agents.

Abstract
N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), one of the new nitrogen-containing disinfection by-products, is potentially cytotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic. Its potential toxicological effects have attracted a wide range of attention, but the mechanism is still not sufficiently understood. To better understand the toxicological mechanisms of NDMA, zebrafish embryos were exposed to NDMA from 3 h post-fertilization (hpf) to 120hpf. Mortality and malformation were significantly increased, and hatching rate, heart rate, and swimming behavior were decreased in the exposure groups. The result indicated that NDMA exposure causes cardiac and spinal developmental toxicity. mRNA levels of genes involved in the apoptotic pathway, including p53, bax, and bcl-2 were significantly affected by NDMA exposure. Moreover, the genes associated with spinal and cardiac development (myh6, myh7, nkx2.5, eph, bmp2b, bmp4, bmp9, run2a, and run2b) were significantly downregulated after treatment with NDMA. Wnt and TGF-β signaling pathways, crucial for the development of diverse tissues and organs in the embryo and the establishment of the larval spine, were also significantly disturbed by NDMA treatment. In summary, the disinfection by-product, NDMA, exhibits spinal and cardiac developmental toxicity in zebrafish embryos, providing helpful information for comprehensive analyses and a better understanding the mechanism of its toxicity.

Abstract
Garlic (Allium sativum) is an important flavouring component in Indian cuisine. Allicin, a sulphur containing compound, is the most abundant component of garlic and has been widely studied for its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. It is also known to play a role in the regulation of blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Despite the known health benefits associated with allicin, systematic studies on its anti-cancer properties using animal models are very limited. This study aimed to develop a simple method for the extraction of allicin from fresh garlic, study the stability of the extracted compound at various temperatures, and evaluate the antioxidant, anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic and anti-angiogenic properties in zebrafish. A five-month stability study indicated that allicin remains significantly stable at temperatures 4 °C and below but shows extensive degradation if stored at room temperature. The in vivo studies in zebrafish using a combination of mutants and transgenic lines demonstrated the antioxidant, anti-proliferative, apoptotic and anti-angiogenic properties of allicin. The study highlights the importance of natural bioactive compounds as potential anti-cancer agents that can be studied further.

Abstract
Acetochlor (ACT) is a widely used pesticide, yet the environmental and health safety of its chiral isomers remains inadequately evaluated. In this study, we evaluated the toxicity of ACT and its chiral isomers in a zebrafish model. Our findings demonstrate that ACT and its chiral isomers disrupt early zebrafish embryo development, inducing oxidative stress, abnormal lipid metabolism, and apoptosis. Additionally, ACT and its chiral isomers lead to cardiovascular damage, including reduced heart rate, decreased red blood cell (RBC) flow rate, and vascular damage. We further observed that (+)-S-ACT has a significant impact on the transcription of genes involved in cardiac and vascular development, including tbx5, hand2, nkx2.5, gata4, vegfa, dll4, cdh5, and vegfc. Our study highlights the potential risk posed by different conformations of chiral isomeric pesticides and raises concerns regarding their impact on human health. Overall, our results suggest that the chiral isomers of ACT induce developmental defects and cardiovascular toxicity in zebrafish, with (+)-S-ACT being considerably more toxic to zebrafish than (-)-R-ACT.

Abstract
The safety of cyclophosphamide (CP) in the early developmental stages is not studied yet; it is important to study the responses at these stages because they might have relevance to CP-administered humans. We studied the developmental toxicity of CP by analysing physiological, morphological, and oxidative stress, neurotransmission enzymes, gene expression and histological endpoints in zebrafish embryos/larvae. The study lasted for 120 hpf at environmentally relevant concentrations of CP. No visible alterations were noticed in the control group. Delayed hatching, slow heart rate, yolk sac oedema, pericardial oedema, morphological deformities, the incompetence of oxidative stress biomarkers, excessive generation of ROS, apoptosis, inhibition of neurotransmitters and histopathological anomalies were observed in CP-treated groups. These alterations were found to be concentration- and duration-dependent effects for physiological and morphological endpoints, whereas concentration-dependent effects were antioxidants, ROS, apoptosis and histological endpoints. Biomarkers and gene expression were standardised using the integrated biomarker response-IBRv2 index. The IBRv2 index showed a concentration-dependent behaviour. A non-lethal developmental and teratogenic effect was observed in CP-treated zebrafish embryos/larvae at the studied concentrations. The studied biomarkers are sensitive, and the responses are interrelated; thus, their responses are useful to assess veiled and unseen hazards of pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
The increasing antibiotic resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) is an urgent need to explore new and effective drugs. The antibacterial activities of spectinomycin and sanguinarine against 117 clinical NG isolates and time-kill curve of sanguinarine were evaluated. Almost all isolates were resistant to penicillin (91.5%) and ciprofloxacin (96.5%), 8.5% showed resistance to azithromycin, 10.3% and 10.3% had decreased susceptibility/resistance to ceftriaxone and cefixime, respectively, whereas 100% were susceptible to spectinomycin. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranges, MIC50, MIC90 and MICmean values of sanguinarine were 2-64 μg/ml, 16 μg/ml, 32 μg/ml and 16.9 μg/ml, respectively, and time-kill curve showed killing of bacteria in a dose-dependent manner during the assay time of 6h, very similar to spectinomycin. Sanguinarine has great potential as an effective and novel anti-NG agent.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a crucial role in the progression and metastasis of BC. A significant proportion of BC is characterized by a hypoxic TME, which contributes to the development of drug resistance and cancer recurrence. Sanguinarine (SAN), an isoquinoline alkaloid found in Papaver plants, has shown promise as an anticancer agent. The present review focuses on exploring the molecular mechanisms of hypoxic TME in BC and the potential of SAN as a therapeutic option. The review presents the current understanding of the hypoxic TME, its signaling pathways, and its impact on the progression of BC. Additionally, the review elaborates on the mechanisms of action of SAN in BC, including its effects on vital cellular processes such as proliferation, migration, drug resistance, and tumor-induced immune suppression. The review highlights the importance of addressing hypoxic TME in treating BC and the potential of SAN as a promising therapeutic option.

Food Chem Toxicol 2023; 176:113777. [PMID: 37080526 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2023.113777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 04/22/2023]
Abstract
P: radix is a perennial herb, and its extracts have various biological properties that make it a potential candidate for the treatment of tumors, edema, and lymphatic stasis. However, the main factor contributing to its toxicity are not clear. Here, we used a zebrafish toxicological model to study the main toxicity factor of P. radix and explore the potential mechanisms involved. The results revealed that Esculentoside B was the major toxic factor of P. radix. Exposure of zebrafish larvae to Esculentoside B caused developmental abnormalities, neurotoxicity and altered locomotor behavior. The combination of AChE activity and the expression levels of genes relevant to CNS development demonstrated that Esculentoside B is neurotoxic to zebrafish larvae, impairs their CNS development, and that AChE may be a toxic target of Esculentoside B. Metabolomic analysis has revealed that Esculentoside B exposure can disrupt D-Amino acid metabolism, protein export, autophagy, and mTOR signaling pathways in zebrafish larvae. These findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying EsB-induced neurotoxicity in zebrafish, which can facilitate further research and development of P. radix for safe consumption.

Ecological risk assessment of environmentally relevant concentrations of propofol on zebrafish (Danio rerio) at early life stage: Insight into physiological, biochemical, and molecular aspects. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 316:137846.

Abstract
Propofol is an intravenous anesthetic injection extensively used in clinic, which has been proved to be neurotoxic in humans. Improper use and disposal of propofol may lead to its release into the aquatic environment, but the potential ecological risk of propofol to aquatic organisms remains poorly understood. For this study, we comprehensively explored the ecotoxicological effects and potential mechanisms of propofol (0.04, 0.2 and 2 mg L-1) on 120 hpf zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos from physiological, biochemical, and molecular perspectives. The results showed that propofol has moderate toxicity on zebrafish embryos (96 h LC50 = 4.260 mg L-1), which could significantly reduce the hatchability and delay the development. Propofol can trigger reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, lipid peroxidation (Malondialdehyde, MDA) and DNA damage (8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine, 8-OHdG). The glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity of zebrafish embryos in 0.04 and 0.2 mg L-1 propofol treatment group was activated in response to oxidative damage, while activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and GPX in zebrafish treated with 2 mg L-1 was significant inhibited compared with the control group (p<0.05). Moreover, the expression of antioxidant genes and related pathways was inhibited. Apoptosis was investigated at genes level and histochemistry. Molecular docking confirmed that propofol could change in the secondary structure of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and competitively inhibited acetylcholine (ACh) binding to AChE, which may disturb the nervous system. These results described toxic response and molecular mechanism in zebrafish embryos, providing multiple aspects about ecological risk assessment of propofol in water environment.

Abstract
Dyes, which are very important for various industries, have very adverse effects on the aquatic environment and aquatic life. However, there are limited studies on the toxic properties of dyes on living things. This research elucidated the sublethal toxicity of acute exposure of the textile dye remazol gelb-GR (RG-GR) using zebrafish embryos and larvae for 96 h. The 96 h-LC50 for RG-GR in zebrafish embryos/larvae was determined to be 151.92 mg/L. Sublethal 96 hpf exposure was performed in RG-GR concentrations (0.5; 1.0; 10.0; 100.0 mg/L) to determine the development of toxicity in zebrafish embryos/larvae. RG-GR dye affected morphological development, and decreased heart rate, hatching, blood flow, and survival rates in zebrafish embryos/larvae. The immunopositivity of 8-hydroxy 2 deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in larvae exposed to RG-GR at high concentrations was found to be intense. Depending on the RG-GR dose increase, some biochemical parameters such as glutathione peroxidase (GSH) level, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, catalase (CAT) activities, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and nuclear factor erythroid 2 (Nrf-2) levels were detected to be decreased in larvae, while malondialdehyde (MDA) content, nuclear factor kappa (NF-kB), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), DNA damage (8-OHdG level), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and apoptosis (Caspase-3) levels were found to be increased. The experimental results revealed that RG-GR dye has high acute toxicity on zebrafish embryo/larvae.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2022; 131:30-41.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), an environmental pollutant, can cause multiple organ tissue damage by inducing oxidative stress. Cineole (CIN) is a terpene oxide existing in a variety of plant essential oils, which has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antioxidant effects. This study examined the effects of 200 nM BPA and 20 μM CIN on apoptosis, autophagy, and immunology in grass carp hepatocytes (L8824). The treatments were categorized as NC, CIN, BPA + CIN, and BPA. The findings demonstrated that BPA exposure could increase ROS levels and oxidative stress-related indicators, decrease the expression of the Nrf2/keap1 pathway and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, increase the expression of genes involved in the apoptotic pathway (Bax and Caspase3), and decrease the expression of the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 by lowering mitochondrial membrane potential. BPA also reduced the expression of genes linked to autophagy (ATG5, Beclin1, LC3). Changes in immunological function after BPA exposure were also shown by changes in the amounts of antimicrobial peptides (HEPC, β-defensin, LEAP2) and cytokines (INF-γ, IL-1β, IL-2, and TNF-α). After the co-treatment of CIN and BPA, CIN can inhibit BPA-induced apoptosis and recover from autophagy and immune function to a certain extent by binding to keap1 to exert an anti-oxidative regulatory effect of Nrf2 incorporation into the nucleus. Molecular docking provides strong evidence for the interaction of CIN ligands with keap1 receptors. Therefore, these results indicated that CIN could inhibit BPA-induced apoptosis, autophagy inhibition and immunosuppression in grass carp hepatocytes by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway with Nrf2/keap1/ROS. This study provided further information to the risk assessment of the neuroendocrine disruptor BPA on aquatic organisms and offered suggestions and resources for further research into the function of natural extracts in the body's detoxification process.

Abstract
Sanguinarine, a plant-derived phytoalexin, displays various biological activities, such as insecticidal, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenesis and antitumor effects. But its potential neurotoxicity and the underlying mechanisms has rarely been investigated. Therefore, we aimed to assess the neurotoxicity of sanguinarine using zebrafish model and PC12 cells in this study. The results showed that sanguinarine induced the reduction of the length of dopamine neurons and inhibited the blood vessel in the head area of the zebrafish. Further studies demonstrated that the behavioral phenotype of the larval zebrafish was changed by sanguinarine. In addition, there were more apoptotic cells in the larval zebrafish head area. The mRNA expression levels of β-syn, th, pink1 and parkin, closely related to the nervous function, were changed after sanguinarine treatment. The in vitro studies show that notably increases of ROS and apoptosis levels in PC12 cells were observed after sanguinarine treatment. Moreover, the protein expression of Caspase3, Parp, Bax, Bcl2, α-Syn, Th, PINK1 and Parkin were also altered by sanguinarine. Our data indicated that the inhibition of mitophagy, ROS elevation and apoptosis were involved in the neurotoxicity of sanguinarine. These findings will be useful to understand the toxicity induced by sanguinarine.

Abstract
Despite the increasing evidences for adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC transporters)-mediated efflux of nanoparticles, the universality of these phenomena and the determining factors for the process remained to be clarified. This paper aimed to systemically investigate the role of nanoparticle size in the interactions between adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC transporters) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs, 3 nm, 19 nm, and 84 nm, named as Au-3, Au-19, and Au-84) in zebrafish embryos. The results showed that all the three AuNPs induced significant toxicity as reflected by delayed hatching of embryos, decreased glutathione (GSH) contents, and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Under the hindrance of embryo chorions, smaller AuNPs could more easily accumulate in the embryos, causing higher toxicity. Addition of transporter inhibitors enhanced the accumulation and toxicity of Au-3 and Au-19, and these nanoparticles induced the expressions of abcc2 and abcb4, indicating a fact that Au-3 and Au-19 were the potential substrates of ABC transporters, but these phenomena were barely found for Au-84. On the contrary, Au-84 suppressed the gene expressions of various ABC transporters like abcc1, abcg5, and abcg8. With specific suppressors, transcription factors like nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) and pregnane X receptor (Pxr) were found to be important in the induction of ABC transporters by AuNPs. After all, these results revealed a vital role of nanoparticle sizes in the interactions between ABC transporters and AuNPs in zebrafish embryos, and the critical size could be around 19 nm. Such information would be beneficial in assessing the environmental risk of nanoparticles, as well as their interactions with other chemical toxicants.

Abstract
Bacteria and their eukaryotic hosts have co-evolved for millions of years, and the former can intercept eukaryotic signaling systems for the successful colonization of the host. The diffusible signal factor (DSF) family represents a type of quorum-sensing signals found in diverse Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Recent evidence shows that the DSF is involved in interkingdom communications between the bacterial pathogen and the host plant. In this study, we explored the anti-inflammatory effect of the DSF and its underlying molecular mechanism in a zebrafish model. We found that the DSF treatment exhibited a strong protective effect on the inflammatory response of zebrafish induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In the LPS-induced inflammation zebrafish model, the DSF could significantly ameliorate the intestinal pathological injury, reduce abnormal migration and the aggregation of inflammatory cells, inhibit the excessive production of inflammatory mediator reactive oxygen species (ROS) content, and prevent apoptosis. Through an RNA-Seq analysis, a total of 938 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was screened between LPS and LPS + DSF treatment zebrafish embryos. A further bioinformatics analysis and validation revealed that the DSF might inhibit the LPS-induced zebrafish inflammatory response by preventing the activation of signaling in the Toll-like receptor pathway, attenuating the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and regulating the activation of the caspase cascade through restoring the expression of lysosomal cathepsins and apoptosis signaling. This study, for the first time, demonstrates the anti-inflammatory role and a potential pharmaceutical application of the bacterial signal DSF. These findings also suggest that the interkingdom communication between DSF-producing bacteria and zebrafish might occur in nature.

Abstract
Emamectin benzoate (EMB) is a widely used pesticide in agriculture, but its potential risks to the environment and health have not been fully evaluated. In this study, we evaluated the toxicity of Emamectin benzoate using zebrafish model, and found that it affected early embryonic development, such as malformations and delayed hatching. Mechanistically, Emamectin benzoate increased oxidative stress by excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and abnormal activities of the antioxidant enzymes. Moreover, Emamectin benzoate exposure caused abnormalities in zebrafish heart morphology and function, such as long SV-BA distance and slow heart rate. Alterations were induced in the transcription of heart development-related genes (nkx2.5, tbx5, gata4 and myl7). In summary, our data showed that Emamectin benzoate induces developmental toxicity and cardiotoxicity in zebrafish. Our research provides new evidence on the Emamectin benzoate's toxicity and potential risk in human health.

Environmental Co-Exposure to Potassium Perchlorate and Cd Caused Toxicity and Thyroid Endocrine Disruption in Zebrafish Embryos and Larvae ( Danio rerio). TOXICS 2022; 10:toxics10040198. [PMID: 35448459 PMCID: PMC9030446 DOI: 10.3390/toxics10040198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Revised: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The increasing pollution of aquatic habitats with anthropogenic compounds has led to various test strategies to detect hazardous chemicals. However, information on the effects of pollutants on the thyroid system in fish, which is essential for growth, development, and parts of reproduction, is still scarce. Modified early life-stage tests were carried out with zebrafish exposed to the known thyroid inhibitor potassium perchlorate (0.1, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 5 mM) to identify adverse effects on embryo development. The endogenous antioxidant defense mechanism is one of the key functions of the thyroid gland; in this regard, we examined the co-exposure to potassium perchlorate (KClO4), which could disrupt thyroid function, with cadmium (Cd), a known pro-oxidant compound. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to control KClO4 1 mM and Cd 0.5 μM for 96 h after fertilization (hpf) individually and in combination. The morphological alteration, body length, and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression related to thyroid function and oxidative stress, thyroid hormone levels, and malondialdehyde were measured. Significant down-regulation of mRNAs related to thyroid function (thyroid hormone receptor-alpha (THRα), thyroid hormone receptor-beta (THRβ), haematopoietically expressed homeobox (hhex)) and decreased thyroxin (T4) levels were observed after co-exposure to KClO4 and Cd, but this was not observed in the individually treated groups. These results suggest that co-exposure to KClO4 and Cd could affect antioxidant defense mechanisms and potentially normally increase Cd toxicity on mRNA expression, altering the thyroid functions important in zebrafish embryonic developmental stages.

Abstract
Several anthropogenic products in wastewater are considered a threat to the aquatic environment. In addition to common industrial pollutants, levels of pharmaceuticals have been increasingly found in the environment in recent years, which may present a strong risk to the aquatic species that live there. The constant consumption of biologically active chemicals for human health has been matched by an increase in the leaking of these compounds in natural habitats over the last two decades. This study is aimed at evaluating the developmental toxicity of fotemustine in the ecological environment. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to doses of 25, 50 and 100 µg/mL from 4 h post-fertilization to 120 h. This study confirms that fotemustine exposure at 50 and 100 µg/mL affects the survival and hatching rate, morphology score and body length. Additionally, it significantly disturbs the antioxidant defense system and increases ROS in zebrafish larvae. From the molecular point of view, fotemustine exposure strongly induces apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and the Wnt signaling pathway.

Abstract
Sanguinarine, a plant phytoalexin, possesses extensive biological activities including antimicrobial, insecticidal, antitumor, anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenesis effect. But its cardiotoxicity has rarely been studied. Here, we assess the cardiotoxicity of sanguinarine in vivo using larval zebrafish from 48 hpf to 96 hpf. The results show that sanguinarine caused severe malformation and the dysfunction of the heart including reductions of heart rate, red blood cell number, blood flow dynamics, stroke volume and increase of SV-BA distance, subintestinal venous congestion. Further studies showed that apoptosis in the zebrafish heart region was observed after sanguinarine exposure using TUNEL assay and AO staining method. In addition, the genes, such as sox9b, myl7, nkx2.5 and bmp10, which play crucial parts in the development and the function of the heart, were changed after sanguinarine treatment. caspase3, caspase9, bax and bcl2, apoptosis-related genes, were also altered by sanguinarine. Further studies were performed to study the cardiotoxicity in vitro using cardiomyocytes HL1 cell line. The results showed that remarkable increase of apoptosis and ROS level in HL1 cells were induced by sanguinarine. Moreover, the MAPK pathway (JNK and P38) were notably enhanced and involved in the cardiotoxicity induced by sanguinarine. Our findings will provide better understanding of sanguinarine in the toxic effect on heart.

Abstract
The ever-increasing production and processing of textiles will lead to greater risks of releasing pollutants into the environment. Textile wastewater treatment plants (TWTPs) effluent are an important source of persistent toxic pollutants in receiving water bodies. The effects of specific pollutants on organisms are usually studied under laboratory conditions, and therefore, comprehensive results are not obtained regarding the chronic combined effects of pollutants under aquatic environmental conditions. Thus, this study aimed to determine the combined effects of TWTP effluents on the growth performance, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and intestinal microbiota of adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). Exposure to TWTP effluents significantly inhibited growth, exacerbated the condition factor, and increased the mortality of adult zebrafish. Moreover, markedly decreases were observed in the activities of antioxidant enzymes, such as CAT, GSH, GSH-Px, MDA, SOD, and T-AOC, mostly in the intestine and muscle tissues of zebrafish after 1 and 4 months of exposure. In addition, the results demonstrated that TWTP effluent exposure affected the intestinal microbial community composition and decreased community diversity. Slight changes were found in the relative abundance of probiotic Lactobacillus, Akkermansia, and Lactococcus in zebrafish guts after chronic TWTP effluent exposure. The chronic toxic effects of slight increases in opportunistic pathogens, such as Mycoplasma, Stenotrophomonas, and Vibrio, deserve further attention. Our results reveal that TWTP effluent exposure poses potential health risks to aquatic organisms through growth inhibition, oxidative stress impairment of the intestine and muscles, and intestinal microbial community alterations.
