Effects of Dietary Chitosan on Growth Performance, Serum Biochemical Indices, Antioxidant Capacity, and Immune Response of Juvenile Tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus) under Cadmium Stress. Animals (Basel) 2024; 14:2259. [PMID: 39123784 PMCID: PMC11311066 DOI: 10.3390/ani14152259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the effects of varying levels of dietary chitosan supplementation on mitigating cadmium stress and its influence on growth performance, serum biochemical indices, antioxidant capacity, immune response, inflammatory response, and the expression of related genes in juvenile Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus). Five groups of juvenile tilapias (initial body weight 21.21 ± 0.24 g) were fed five diets with different levels (0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0%) of chitosan supplementation for 60 days under cadmium stress (0.2 mg/L Cd2+). The findings indicated that, compared with the 0% chitosan group, dietary chitosan could significantly increase (p < 0.05) the final weight (Wf), weight gain rate (WGR), specific growth rate (SGR), daily growth index (DGI), and condition factor (CF), while the feed conversion ratio (FCR) expressed the opposite trend in juvenile GIFT. Dietary chitosan could significantly increase (p < 0.05) the activities (contents) of cholinesterase (CHE), albumin (ALB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid phosphatase (ACP), and lysozyme (LZM), while glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), and complement 3 (C3) in the serum of juvenile GIFT expressed the opposite trend. Dietary chitosan could significantly increase (p < 0.05) the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) and significantly decrease (p < 0.05) the activities (contents) of glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the serum of juvenile GIFT. Dietary chitosan could significantly increase (p < 0.05) the activities (contents) of CAT, GST, GSH-Px, and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and significantly decrease (p < 0.05) the contents of MDA in the liver of juvenile GIFT. Dietary chitosan could significantly increase (p < 0.05) the activities (contents) of SOD, GSH-Px, T-AOC, Na+-K+-ATPase, and Ca2+-ATPase and significantly decrease (p < 0.05) the activities (contents) of CAT, GST, and MDA in the gills of juvenile GIFT. Dietary chitosan could significantly up-regulate (p < 0.05) the gene expression of cat, sod, gst, and gsh-px in the liver of juvenile GIFT. Dietary chitosan could significantly up-regulate (p < 0.05) the gene expression of interferon-γ (inf-γ) in the gills and spleen and significantly down-regulate (p < 0.05) the gene expression of inf-γ in the liver and head kidney of juvenile GIFT. Dietary chitosan could significantly down-regulate (p < 0.05) the gene expression of interleukin-6 (il-6), il-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α (tnf-α) in the liver, gills, head kidney, and spleen of juvenile GIFT. Dietary chitosan could significantly up-regulate (p < 0.05) the gene expression of il-10 in the liver, gills, head kidney, and spleen of juvenile GIFT. Dietary chitosan could significantly up-regulate (p < 0.05) the gene expression of transforming growth factor-β (tgf-β) in the liver and significantly down-regulate (p < 0.05) the gene expression of tgf-β in the head kidney and spleen of juvenile GIFT. In conclusion, dietary chitosan could mitigate the impact of cadmium stress on growth performance, serum biochemical indices, antioxidant capacity, immune response, inflammatory response, and related gene expression in juvenile GIFT. According to the analysis of second-order polynomial regression, it was found that the optimal dietary chitosan levels in juvenile GIFT was approximately 1.42% to 1.45%, based on its impact on Wf, WGR, SGR, and DGI.

Abstract
Dimefluthrin (DIM) is a commonly utilized sanitary insecticide, predominantly employed for indoor pest management within residential and public environments directly interacting with human habitation. However, the usage of DIM is escalating with increasing mosquito resistance, prompting concerns about its health risks. Here, using zebrafish as a research model, we systematically evaluated DIM's impact on human health. Findings revealed significant health hazards during embryonic development, including reduced hatching rates, shortened body lengths, and organ malformations, notably affecting the heart. It was explored the mechanism of DIM-induced cardiotoxicity in zebrafish, and histopathological analyses revealed that DIM resulted in ventricular linearization in zebrafish embryos. Antioxidant enzyme activities were reduced and cardiac reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulated after DIM exposure, suggesting clear signs of oxidative stress. Additionally, acridine orange (AO) staining and caspase-3 immunofluorescence demonstrated cardiac apoptosis in Tg (kdrl: EGFP) zebrafish. qPCR analysis implied that DIM induced apoptosis via the p53/Caspase pathway by up-regulating the expression levels of p53, cytochrome C (cyto-C), caspase-9, and caspase-3. Together, our work provided a systematic perspective on the cardiotoxicity of sanitary pesticides, which could offer opportunities for future risk management.

[PMID: 37634772 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126492] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
The unscientific disposal of the most abundant crustacean wastes, especially those derived from marine sources, affects both the economy and the environment. Strategic waste collection and management is the need of the hour. Sustainable valorization approaches have played a crucial role in solving those issues as well as generating wealth from waste. The shellfishery wastes are rich in valuable bioactive compounds such as chitin, chitosan, minerals, carotenoids, lipids, and other amino acid derivatives. These value-added components possessed pleiotropic applications in different sectors viz., food, nutraceutical, cosmeceutical, agro-industrial, healthcare, and pharmaceutical sectors. The manuscript covers the recent status, scope of shellfishery management, and different bioactive compounds obtained from crustacean wastes. In addition, both sustainable and conventional routes of valorization approaches were discussed with their merits and demerits along with their combinations. The utilization of nano and microtechnology was also included in the discussion, as they have become prominent research areas in recent years. More importantly, the future perspectives of crustacean waste management and other potential valorization approaches that can be implemented on a large scale.

Abstract
This research work represents a holistic approach of separation of aqueous lead through dynamic adsorption on cucumber peel in fixed bed column bioreactor and highlights the biological perspective of mode of interaction between adsorbent and adsorbate. Additionally attempt has been made to elucidate the importance of this process in preservation of aquatic ecosystem. The study illustrates influence of design parameters, periodic surveillance of generated effluents, statistical and mathematical model analyses of results and desorption. The findings exhibited a direct association between quality of treated effluent and speed of the feed solution, feed concentration and height of the fixed bed. Lead removal percentage was at its best (99.25%) at 8 cm bed height, 20 mL min-1 (0.9 L h-1) flow rate and 50 mg L-1 feed concentration whereas adsorption capacity reached its peak (300.26 mg g-1) when feed concentration was doubled up to 100 mg L-1. Time bound monitoring confirmed concentration of lead in treated effluents remained within satisfactory level. Adsorbed lead was recovered up to ∼95%. Experimentation with actual industrial effluents demonstrated that lead removal percentage remained in the range of 99.97-99.46% and 99.96-99.17% up to the entire phase of bioreactor operation. In summation proper combination of design parameters of column bioreactor played important role in generating superior quality effluent, multiple reuse of the bioreactor bed was dependent on proper eluant treatment and practicability of the study was ascertained by its ability to maintain concentration of lead in actual industrial effluents within permissible limit for prolonged duration.

Distribution of metals in different environmental compartments and oxidative stress biomarkers in Bryconops caudomaculatus (Osteichthyes: Characiformes) from a bauxite mining area in the Eastern Amazon. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 216:114391.

Abstract
The Eastern Amazon is rich in bauxite ore. The extraction and processing of bauxite lead to the mobilization of Aluminum (Al) and other metals in environmental. We evaluated the metals (Al, Mn, Ba, and Cr) concentration in tissue, water, and sediment associated with antioxidant and oxidative damage responses in Bryconops caudomaculatus. The samplings were done in two hydrological periods (post-rain and post-dry periods) and at three points, located at two rivers: one in the surroundings of the mining area (P1) and other inside the mining area, upstream (P2), and downstream (P3). Defense antioxidant system biomarkers analyzed were total antioxidant capacity (ACAP) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity. As an oxidative damage biomarker, the lipoperoxidation (LPO) was evaluated. Metals concentrations in the water and sediment were higher in the post-rain period compared to post-dry period. The water samples were acidic, with dissolved Al concentrations above the values established by local legislation at all points. In the gills, the metals accumulation was higher in fish from in the surrounding and upstream sites, and in the liver, was higher in fish from downstream site. Fish from the surrounding had increased antioxidant defenses, with higher ACAP in all tissues and higher GST in the gills. Consequently, they had lower levels of LPO. Fish from the mining area had decreased antioxidant defenses, with lower ACAP in all tissues and lower GST in the gills. Consequently, they had higher levels of LPO, indicating oxidative stress. The fish muscle was not responsive to GST and LPO at all sites. We conclude that the oxidative stress observed in the gills and liver of B. caudomaculatus from the area modified by the mining activity reflected the local anthropogenic impact status.

Abstract
The emerging demand for the enhancement of biodegradation of persistent organic pollutants from marine oil spills using oil-treating agents to minimize the environmental impacts promotes the development of green dispersants. Shrimp waste is a potential raw material to generate green dispersants. The biodegradability of dispersed oil and dispersants themselves are key factors for the national consideration of the approval, stockpile, and usage of dispersants. However, it is unknown whether shrimp-waste-based dispersant (SWD) has high bioavailability or facilitates the biodegradation of dispersed oil. In this study, we tackled the biodegradation of oil dispersed by a purified SWD. Furthermore, the SWD biodegradability was evaluated by exploring the degradation genes via metagenomic sequencing, analyzing the enzymatic activities for dispersant biodegradation by molecular docking, and discussing the SWD toxicity. We discovered that the SWD facilitated the biodegradation of two crude oils (Alaska North Slope and Marine Fuel-No.6). The metagenomic analysis with molecular docking showed that fresh seawater had feasible enzymes to degrade the SWD to safety components. Additionally, the SWD was low toxic and high bioactive. The findings helped confirm that the purified SWD is an effective and eco-sustainable marine oil spill treating agent and tracked the biodegradation of dispersed oil and the SWD.

Abstract
Aluminium (Al) is soluble in acidic waters and may become toxic to organisms. In this study, the acute effects of two Al concentrations were evaluated in the Amazonian fish Bryconops caudomaculatus. Antioxidant responses and lipid damage were assessed in gills, liver and muscle, along with the electrocardiography (ECG) and characterization of cardiac complex and wave intervals. Fish were essayed as follows: two control groups at neutral and acidic pH and two exposure groups at acidic pH (0.3 mg/L and 3.0 mg/L Al). Water samples were collected at 0h, 24h and 48h, for chloride (Cl-), fluoride (F-) and sulphate (SO42-) ion analyses, while total Al was quantified in muscle. Concentrations of Cl- and SO42- were constant over time whereas F- was not detected. Total Al concentrations in water and muscle were concentration-dependent. Antioxidant responses, total antioxidant capacity against peroxyl radicals (ACAP) and glutathione S-transferase were not triggered in fish tissues exposed to 0.3 mg/L Al; however, fish exposed to 3.0 mg/L Al presented increased and reduced ACAP in gills and liver, respectively. No changes in lipoperoxidation levels occurred among groups. Fish exposed to 0.3 mg/L Al showed prolonged intervals in ECG as a reflection of low heart rate (HR), with sinus bradycardia. Moreover, there was a marked prolongation of the PQ interval (time between the atrial activity and the start of ventricular activity), indicating interference on the cardiac cell automaticity. Fish exposed to the highest concentration of Al showed reduced wave intervals as a consequence of increased HR, with sinus arrhythmia, while ECG tracings did not present P waves (atrial contraction), indicating an atrioventricular blockade. In conclusion, 48h exposure sufficed to cause cardiotoxicity in B. caudomaculatus at either Al concentration. However, as oxidative stress was not observed, such cardiac alterations seem to be reversible under the experimental conditions established herein.

Dietary chitosan promotes the growth, biochemical composition, gut microbiota, hematological parameters and internal organ morphology of juvenile Barbonymus gonionotus. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0260192.

Abstract
In this study, we determined the effects of dietary chitosan on the growth, biochemical composition, gut microbiota, and hematological and histological parameters of juvenile Barbonymus gonionotus. Three test diets containing three different concentrations (1, 2, and 3 g kg-1 feed) of dietary chitosan were formulated. A basal diet without dietary chitosan was considered a control, and the fish were reared for 60 days. Comparing the effects of the dietary chitosan-containing diets with those of the control diet, we found that dietary chitosan significantly improved the muscle growth, nutrient and mineral contents, hematological parameters, lactic acid bacterium abundance, and digestive enzyme activities of B. gonionotus. Moreover, dietary chitosan significantly inhibited the growth of pathogenic bacteria in fish. Interestingly, an increase in the dietary chitosan level significantly enhanced the protein contents of the muscles and inversely significantly decreased the lipid contents compared to those with the basal diet. Quantitative study revealed that dietary chitosan significantly enhanced the length of intestinal villi, and qualitative study showed that dietary chitosan considerably reduced the fat content in the liver and improved the morphology of the kidney compared to those with the basal diet. Taken together, our results suggest that the application of dietary chitosan at a dose of 1 g kg-1 feed produced the highest benefit to treated B. gonionotus, indicating its potential for safe use in aquaculture.

Zinc oxide nanocatalyst mediates cadmium and lead toxicity tolerance mechanism by differential regulation of photosynthetic machinery and antioxidant enzymes level in cotton seedlings. Toxicol Rep 2021; 8:295-302. [PMID: 33552928 PMCID: PMC7850960 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxrep.2021.01.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2020] [Revised: 01/20/2021] [Accepted: 01/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
ZnONPs enhanced plant growth and biomass by alleviation of heavy metal toxicity. Increased level photosynthetic pigments, MDA and protein contents recorded in cotton leaves in co-presence of ZnONPs. The activity of antioxidative enzymes was promoted significantly in the presence of ZnONPs under Cd and Pb induced stress. No distinct genomic alterations were recorded in the RAPD banding pattern.
Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) heavy metal pollution induced toxicity severely affects the plant growth and yield of various agriculutral crops worldwide. The present study discuss the prime role of phycomolecules coated zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) application on development of heavy metal tolerance mechanism in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seedlings better than exposed to Cd and Pb treatments alone. Co-exposure of ZnONPs along with heavy metal treatments significantly promoted the shoot, and root growth as well as biomass compared to control, while it was down-regulated in Cd and Pb exposed seedlings. The intervention of ZnONPs had up-regulated the level of chlorophyll a, b and carotenoid contents in leaves grown under Cd and Pb treatments than the untreated control. Similarly, the level of total soluble protein and malondialdehyde (MDA-lipid peroxidation) contents was significantly increased in the co-presence of ZnONPs along with Cd and Pb treatments over their respective control. Accumulation of antioxidant defense enzymes viz., superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) was up-regulated significantly in seedlings upon co-exposure of ZnONPs with Cd and Pb treatments. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting analysis exhibited no genomic changes/alterations in seedlings by co-existence of ZnONPs with heavy metals. Overall, the present results indicate that the addition of ZnONPs with Cd and Pb ion exposure protects cotton seedlings by alleviating heavy metal induced phytotoxicity and promoted physiochemical characteristics via differential regulation of photosynthetic machinery as well as antioxidative defense mechanisms in cotton seedlings. Results strongly suggest that phycomolecule coated ZnO nanoparticles could be effectively used as nanofertilizer to cultivate agronomically important crops in heavy metal polluted soil in the future.
