Project description:Omics approaches are broadly used to explore endocrine and toxicity-related pathways and functions. Nevertheless, there is still a significant gap in knowledge in terms of understanding the endocrine system and its numerous connections and intricate feedback loops, especially in non-model organisms. The fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) is a widely used small fish model for aquatic toxicology and regulatory testing, particularly in North America. A draft genome has been published but the amount of available genomic or transcriptomic information is still far behind that of other more broadly studied species, such as the zebrafish. Here, we surveyed the tissue-specific proteome and transcriptome profiles in adult male fathead minnow. To do so, we generated a draft transcriptome using short and long sequencing reads. We also performed RNA sequencing and proteomics analysis on the telencephalon, hypothalamus, liver, and gut of male fish. The main purpose of this analysis was to generate tissue-specific omics data in order to support future aquatic ecotoxicogenomic and endocrine-related studies as well as to improve our understanding of the fathead minnow as an ecological model.

Project description:Toxicogenomic analysis of ionic silver and silver nanoparticles on the fathead minnow and implications to human health

Project description:Silver exposure is toxic to fish due to disturbances of normal gill function. A proposed toxicity mechanism of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) is derived from the release of silver ions, similar to silver nitrate (AgNO3). However, some datasets support the fact that AgNP can have unique toxic effects that are mediated at the gill. To determine if differences between AgNO3 and AgNP toxicities exist, fathead minnows were exposed to 20 nm PVP- or citrate-coated silver nanoparticles (PVP-AgNP; citrate-AgNP) at the nominal concentration of 200 μg/L or AgNO3 at nominal 6 μg/L for 96 hr. This nominal concentration was applied to approximate the dissolved fraction of Ag in the AgNP suspensions. Mucus production in the water was measured. While mucus production was initially significantly increased in the first 4 h of exposure in all silver treatments compared to control, a decrease in mucus production was observed following 24-96 h of exposure. To determine which genes/pathways are driving this shift in mucus production, gills were dissected and microarray analysis was performed. Hierarchal clustering of differentially expressed genes revealed that all samples distinctly clustered by treatment. There were 109 differentially expressed genes shared among all Ag treatments compared to controls. However, there were 185, 423, and 615 differentially expressed genes unique to AgNO3, PVP-AgNP, and citrate-AgNP, relative to control. While functional analysis indicated several common enriched pathways, such as aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling, this analysis also indicated some unique pathways between nanosilver and AgNO3. Our results show that AgNO3, PVP-AgNP, and citrate-AgNP exposure affected mucus production in fish gills and also lead to common and unique transcriptional changes.

Project description:Nanoparticles are compounds of emerging concern with largely unknown risks for human and ecological health. It is crucial to evaluate their potential biological impact to prevent unintended adverse effects on human health and the environment. We analyzed the transcriptional effects of polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated silver nanoparticles (PVP-AgNPs) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) on the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) to understand their potential toxicity and adverse outcomes. We also tested the feasibility of the fathead minnow as an alternative species to elucidate potential adverse effects on humans. Fathead minnow females were exposed to either 4 µg/L of AgNO3 or 70 µg/L of PVP-AgNPs for 96h. Microarray analyses were performed on liver and brain. Functional analysis identified potential toxicity pathways and molecular initiating events (MIEs) that were confirmed with functional assays. Data suggested that AgNO3 and PVP-AgNPs had both common and distinct transcriptional effects. The nanoparticles were linked to neurotoxicity and oxidative stress, and identified as a dopamine receptor antagonist. Silver nitrate was also identified as a potential neurotoxicant and was confirmed as adrenergic and cannabinoid receptors antagonist. While silver nitrate and PVP-AgNPs were both potential neurotoxicants, they appeared to act through different MIEs. Fathead minnow is a promising alternative species to elucidate potential adverse effects of relevance to human health. We analyzed the transcriptional effects of polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated silver nanoparticles (PVP-AgNPs) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) on the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) to understand their potential toxicity and adverse outcomes. FHM were obtained from Aquatic Biosystems (Fort Collins, CO), held in aerated dechlorinated tap water and fed three times daily with Zeigler® AquaTox Feed Gardners, PA, USA). Fathead minnow females were exposed to either 4 µg/L of AgNO3 or 70 µg/L of PVP-AgNPs (Luna Innovations, Blackburn, VA) for 96h at 24°C ± 1 with a 90% water change at 48 hours. Microarray analyses were performed on liver and brain.
