Silver nanocolloids affects glycosylation in medaka fish to cause embryonic malformation.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We observed silver nanocolloids (SNCs) exposure to medaka embryo induced morphological deformities like shortened body and undeveloped head and eyes, and our gene expression analysis using medaka oligo DNA microarray suggested that glycan/glycosylation genes, such as gns and alg2, might be the targets of SNCs' toxicity. Validation studies of gns and alg2 gene expressions by qPCR showed stage-dependent and altered mRNA expression patterns, and their altered expressions were more severe in earlier stages of embryogenesis. A result from structural analysis of glycan revealed that stage 11 was the most sensitive stage to SNCs exposure, and stress seemed to be imposed upon endplasmic reticulum (ER) by SNCs. In fact, qPCR analysis of ER mannosidase demonstrated that N-glycan synthesis in ER was inhibited by SNCs. Overall, this study revealed that SNCs exposure caused embryonic malformations through disruption of glycan biosynthetic pathway in ER.
