Gene transcription, metabolite and lipid profiling in eco-indicator daphnia magna indicate diverse mechanisms of toxicity by legacy and emerging flame-retardants.

ABSTRACT: The use of chemical flame-retardants (FR) in consumer products has steadily increased over the last 30 years. Toxicity data exist for legacy FRs such as pentabromodiphenyl ether (pentaBDE), but less is known about effects of new formulations. To address this issue, the toxicity of seven FR chemicals and formulations was assessed on the freshwater crustacean Daphnia magna. Acute 48-h nominal LC50 values for penta- and octabromodiphenyl ether (pentaBDE, octaBDE), Firemaster 550 (FM550), Firemaster BZ-54 (BZ54), bis(2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate (BEH-TEBP), triphenyl phosphate (TPhP), and nonbrominated BEH-TEBP analog bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (BEHP) ranged from 0.058 mg/L (pentaBDE) to 3.96 mg/L (octaBDE). mRNA expression, (1)H NMR-based metabolomic and lipidomic profiling at 1/10 LC50 revealed distinct patterns of molecular response for each exposure, suggesting pentaPBDE affects transcription and translation, octaBDE and BEH-TEBP affect glycosphingolipid biosynthesis and BZ54 affects Wnt and Hedgehog signal pathways as well as glycosaminoglycan degradation. Brominated components of FM550 (i.e., BZ54) were significantly higher in Daphnia after 48 h following 1/10 LC50 exposure. FM550 elicited significant mRNA changes at five concentrations across a range from 1/10^6 LC50 to 1/2 LC50. Analyses suggest FM550 impairs nutrient utilization or uptake in Daphnia. Seven flame retardant formulations and equal volume solvent (DMSO) controls for each; four exposed and three or four biological replicates per condition.

Evaluation of chronic sublethal effects effects of the organophosphate flame retardant Tris(2-butoxyethyl)phosphate (TBEP) using Daphni magna transcriptomic response

Project description:The aim of this study was to measure chronic sublethal effects of the flame retardant Tris(2-butoxyethyl)phosphate (TBEP) on gene expression, associated protein activity and life-history endpoints (reproduction, development) in the freshwater crustacean Daphnia magna. We exposed <24h old D. magna neonates for 21 days to culture medium (control) and to 3 sublethal doses of TBEP: 14.7, 147 and 1470 M-BM-5g/L. Exposure doses were chosen from 48h acute toxicity testing and represent 1/10000, 1/1000 and 1/100 of the LC50, respectively. Each condition (control and the 3 different doses) were performed on 3 independant biological replicates, with 10 individuals each. We used a custom 15000 sequences D. magna microarray to measure transcriptional effect of each of the TBEP doses in comparison to unexposed controls. We exposed <24h old Daphnia magna to culture medium (unexposed controls) and 3 sublethal doses of TBEP (14.7M-BM-5g/L, 147M-BM-5g/L and 1470M-BM-5g/L) for 21 days. We used 3 biological replicates of 10 individuals for each condition.

Screening an alternative flame retardant using biological and transcriptomic endpoints in fish embryos

Project description:Although alternative Flame Retardant (FR) chemicals are expected to be safer than the legacy FRs they replace, their risks to human health and the environment are often poorly characterized. This study used a small volume, fish embryo system to reveal potential mechanisms of action and diagnostic exposure patterns for TBPH (bis (2-ethylhexyl)-tetrabromophthalate), a component of several widely-used commercial products. By design, environmentally-high exposures of TBPH were applied to sensitive early life stages of an ecologically important test species, Fundulus heteroclitus (Atlantic killifish), with a well-annotated genome. Exposed fish embryos were sampled for transcriptomics or chemical analysis of parent compound and primary metabolite, or observed for development and survival through larval stage. Global transcript profiling, which requires no a priori information, was applied using a large number of embryos (16) per treatment to provide a non-targeted and statistically robust approach to characterize TBPH gene expression patterns. Transcriptomic analysis revealed a dose-response in the expression of genes associated with a surprisingly limited number of biological pathways, but included the aryl hydrocarbon receptor signal transduction pathway, which is known to respond to several toxicologically-important chemical classes. These results suggest that TBPH has a relatively low potential for developmental toxicity (at least in fishes), despite concerns related to its structural similarities to endocrine disrupting chemicals, and does not present a unique gene expression pattern. More broadly, this study advances the usefulness of a biological testing and analysis system that complements current screening methods to characterize chemicals of ecological and human health concern

Effects of organophosphate flame retardants on Atlantic cod liver cells

Project description:Organophosphorous flame retardants (PFRs) were first reported in the late 1970, and today they account for approximately 20 % of the total use of flame retardants in Europe. PFRs are found ubiquitously in the environment, including remote areas stretching from the Arctic to the Antarctic. Generally, similar levels of PFRs is observed between Arctic and more rural areas. The toxicity of PFRs varies depending on their chemical structure. The World Health Organization have reported LC50 values for mammals and aquatic organisms with high variation from 4.2 to 180 mg/L or 707 to 4700 mg/kg body weight, depending on substance and test species. However, little is known about the toxicity and physiological effects of PFRs to fish, particularly in the Arctic species. Hence, the objective of this study is to determine the effects of PFR exposure on hepatic gene expression patterns in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) using liver explants in vitro. Liver explants were exposed to 2-Ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate (EHDPP), tris(2-chloroisopropyl)phosphate (TCPP), and a mixture of both EHDPP and TCPP for 0, 24 and 48 hours. Samples were analyzed for gene expresson profiling using RNAseq. RNAsequening results suggest that exposure to PFRs differentially expressed genes involved in xenobiotic metabolism. We did not observe any chemical-specific effects on gene expression patterns. However, temporal changes in gene expression were observed. Most of the differentially expressed genes (DE) in 24h exposed samples are related in xenobiotic metabolism, whereas in 48h samples DE genes belong to diverse physiological processes.

Gene expression profiles of Daphnia magna exposed to Cd at the 1/10 LC50

Project description:Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic metal causing sublethal and chronic effects in crustaceans. Omic technologies offer unprecedented opportunities to better understand modes of toxicity by providing a holistic view of the molecular changes underlying physiological disruption. We sought to use gene expression and metabolomic analyses to reveal the processes leading to chronic Cd toxicity in the indicator species, Daphnia magna, after a 24-h sublethal exposure (18 ug/L, corresponding to 1/10 LC50). We first confirmed that metabolites can be detected and identified in small volumes (~3-6 ul) of D. magna hemolymph using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. We then compared the altered metabolite levels from a mass spectrometry metabolomics study to differentially expressed genes identified by a D. magna 44k oligonucleotide microarray. Metabolomics identified several essential amino acids, nucleotides and fatty acids as decreased in D. magna hemolymph following Cd exposure. Transcriptional changes included decreased levels of digestive enzymes and increased expression of genes related to embryonic development. The integration of metabolomic and transcriptomic profiles, as well as incorporation of results from previous studies, has enabled construction of a conceptual model detailing how sublethal Cd disrupts energy reserves and reproduction resulting in chronic toxicity. Daphnia magna were exposed to 18 micrograms/L Cadmium sulfate for 24 hours. RNA was extracted and hybridized to a custom Daphnia magna microarray to determine genes differentially expressed by the treatment. Two treament experiment:Unexposed and Cd treatment, 6 replicates for each condition

Toxicogenomic Screen of Replacements for bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) Using the Immortalized TM4 Sertoli Cell Line

Project description:Phthalate plasticizers are being phased out of consumer products because of their endocrine disrupting properties. This has resulted in a need to find safe alternatives that can plasticize polyvinyl chloride (PVC) while being inexpensive and biodegradable. We aim to study the toxicogenomic profile of mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP, the active metabolite of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, DEHP), the commercial plasticizer 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester (DINCH), and three plasticizers in development (1,4 butanediol dibenzoate (BDB), dioctyl succinate (DOS), and dioctyl maleate (DOM)) using the immortalized TM4 Sertoli cell line. Each sample contains four biological replicates except for DOS that contains three. The control is 1.0% DMSO as this was the vehicle used to solubilize the test compounds.

Gene expression profiling in Daphnia magna, Part III: Uncovering Biomarkers for Metal and ORC exposures

Project description:To determine toxicant specific effects of Ordnance Related Compound (ORC) exposure we performed microarray hybridizations with RNA isolated from Daphnia magna following different ORC exposures at the 1/10 LC50. The gene expression profiles revealed toxicant specific gene expression profiles allowed for the identification of specific biomarkers of exposure. Keywords: ecotoxicogenomic exposure study We exposed Daphnia magna the 1/10 LC50 of different Ordnance Related Compounds (Cu, Zn, Pb, WO4, RDX, TNT, 2-ADNT, 2-ADNT, TNB, DNB, 2,4-DNT, and 2,6-DNT) for 24 hours. For each exposure condition, we performed 3 exposures and 2 technical replicates (as dye swap) for each exposure (6 microarrays total, except TNT and Cu). All exposures were compared to a unexposed laboratory control (MHRW media).
