Project description:The developmental origins of health and adult disease (DOHaD) hypothesis states that exposure to various environmental stressors early in life can elicit changes to the genome and epigenome thereby resulting in an increased susceptibility of a disease state during adulthood. Atrazine, a common herbicide used throughout the Midwestern United States for control of weeds on various crops frequently contaminates potable water supplies and is a suspected endocrine disrupting chemical. Studies suggest atrazine elicits reproductive dysfunction through the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. In previous studies, zebrafish were exposed to 0.3, 3, or 30 parts per billion (ppb; ug/L) atrazine through embryogenesis, rinsed, and allowed to mature to adulthood. A decrease in spawning was observed in adults with an embryonic exposure. In addition, adult females had an increase in progesterone and ovarian follicular atresia, alterations in levels of a serotonin metabolite and serotonin turnover in brain tissue, and transcriptome alterations in brain and ovarian tissue supporting neuroendocrine alterations from an embryonic atrazine exposure were reported. Furthermore, offspring of the exposed population exhibited morphological alterations. As reproductive dysfunction may also be influenced by males, this study assessed transcriptomic profiles of brain and testes, morphology, histology, and hormone levels in adult males exposed to atrazine during embryogenesis. Transcriptomic profiles of adult male brain tissue revealed alterations in genes associated with cell to cell signaling and interaction of neurotransmission, cell morphology, cellular assembly and organization of neurites, cellular function and maintenance of neuritogenesis and synaptogenesis, and molecular transport of hormones. In addition, the transcriptomic profiles of adult male testes tissue demonstrated alterations in genes associated with lipid metabolism, molecular transport of steroids, small molecule biochemistry of lipids, and cell morphology. The embryonic atrazine exposure resulted in no alterations in body or testes weight, gonadosomatic index, testes histology, or levels of 11-ketotestosterone or testosterone in adult male zebrafish. Thus, although the transcriptomics data indicate later-in-life alterations on the neuroendocrine system of adult males exposed to atrazine during embryogenesis, analysis of additional endpoints is needed to determine functional impairments. We treated zebrafish embryos from approximately 1 hour post fertilization through 72 hours post fertilization (embryogenesis) to 0, 0.3, 3, or 30 parts per billion (ppb) atrazine. Following the 72 hour exposure period, larave were rinsed and allowed to mature under normal conditions until adulthood (5-6 months post fertilization). At this time, zebrafish were bred weekly for three weeks in order to initiate breeding cycles. Following this peroid, gonadal tissue was disseceted and processed for transcriptomic analysis.

Project description:Synthetic progestins are widely used in human and veterinary medicine. They can enter aquatic environments mainly via wastewater discharge and agricultural runoff, thus affecting fish populations in receiving waters. Here we investigated the chronic effects of dydrogesterone (DDG) on zebrafish from 21 days post fertilization (dpf) to 140 dpf at 5, 50 and 500 ng L-1.

Project description:We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify the change of gene in zebrafish testes between the control and MCLR groups. zebrafish were exposed to 20 μg/L MCLR for 6 weeks. Fresh testes tissue samples from 5 individuals were collected as one sample. Expression of three genes (hsp70, fgf1a and tgfβ1) from this signature was quantified in the same RNA samples by real-time PCR, confirming the reliability of microarray analysis.

Project description:Our study makes use of zebrafish and has determined hepatic transcriptional changes after exposure to four single pharmaceuticals, a pharmaceutical mixture (MIX), and wastewater effluent (WWE) exposures. The pharmaceuticals chosen include acetaminophen, carbamazepine, gemfibrozil, and venlafaxine. We have performed chronic (6 week), low concentration (0.5 and 10 μgL-1 or 5 and 25% effluent) exposure of male and female fish and previously determined a range of effects (reproductive, histological, hormonal) after exposure to single compounds, a mixture of these compounds or wastewater effluent. Herein we determine by microarray the hepatic transcriptional responses of male and female zebrafish from the same exposures.

Project description:Acrylamide is a reproductive toxicant that has been detected in foods such as potato chips and breads. The consequences of chronic exposure to acrylamide in the human diet are unknown; however we previously reported that exposure to acrylamide at levels equivalent to human exposure produced high levels of genetic damage in early male germ cells of mice [Nixon et al. ToxSci 129(1), 135–145 (2012)]. In the present study, we examined changes in testicular gene expression in these mice to examine the potential mechanisms involved in acrylamide induced DNA damage in male germ cells and to provide a better understanding of the reproductive toxic effects of acrylamide in the male. Adult male mice were subjected to chronic acrylamide exposure via the drinking water at concentrations of 0, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 µg/ml for 1, 6 and 12 months. The testes were collected at each time point for RNA extraction and hybridization on an Illumina Sentrix Mouse ref-8 v2 Beadchip.
