Transcriptomics analysis of hepatotoxicity induced by the pesticides imazalil, thiacloprid and clothianidin alone or in binary mixtures in a 28-day study in female Wistar rats.


ABSTRACT: Co-occurrence of pesticide residues in food commodities raises a potential safety issue as their mixture effects on human health are largely unknown. In a previous study, we reported the toxicological effects (pathology and histopathology) of imazalil (IMZ), thiacloprid (THI), and clothianidin (CTD) alone and in binary mixtures in a 28-day oral gavage study in female Wistar rats. Five dose levels (up to 350 mg/kg body weight/day) ranging from a typical toxicological reference value to a clear effect dose were applied. In the present study, we undertook a transcriptomics analysis of rat livers by means of total RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Bioinformatic data analysis involving Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) was used to gain mechanistic information on hepatotoxicity-related pathways affected after treatment with the pesticides, alone and in mixtures. Our data show that 2986 genes were differentially regulated by CTD while IMZ and THI had effects on 194 and 225 genes, respectively. All three individual compounds shared a common subset of genes whose network is associated with xenobiotic metabolism and nuclear receptor activation. Similar networks were retrieved for the mixtures. Alterations in the expression of individual genes were in line with the assumption of dose addition. Our results bring new insight into the hepatotoxicity mechanisms of IMZ, THI, and CTD and their mixtures.
