Project description:Co-occurrence of pesticide residues in food commodities raises a safety issue as their mixture effects on human health is largely unknown and need to be investigated. In a previous study, we reported the toxicological effects (pathology & histopathology) of imazalil (IMZ), thiacloprid (THI), and clothianidin (CTD) alone and in binary mixtures in a 28-day gavage study in female Wistar rats. Here, we undertook a transcriptomic analysis by means of total RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) was used to gain mechanistic information on the hepatotoxic pathways affected after treatment with pesticides, alone and in mixtures. Our data shows that 2986 genes were deregulated by CTD while IMZ and THI had effect on 194 and 225 genes, respectively. All three compounds share a common subset of genes whose network is associated with xenobiotic metabolism and nuclear receptors. Additionally, DNA repair process was predicted for CTD. The same networks were retrieved for the mixtures. Dose addition was indicated for the evaluated gene expressions. Our results bring new insight in the hepatotoxicity mechanisms of IMZ, THI, and CTD.

Project description: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.

Project description:Queen health is crucial to colony survival of honeybees, since reproduction and colony growth rely solely on the queen. Queen failure is considered a relevant cause of colony losses, yet few data exist concerning effects of environmental stressors on queens. Here we demonstrate for the first time that exposure to field-realistic concentrations of neonicotinoid pesticides can severely affect the immunocompetence of queens of western honeybees (Apis mellifera L.). In young queens exposed to thiacloprid (200?µg/l or 2000?µg/l) or clothianidin (10?µg/l or 50?µg/l), the total hemocyte number and the proportion of active, differentiated hemocytes was significantly reduced. Moreover, functional aspects of the immune defence namely the wound healing/melanisation response, as well as the antimicrobial activity of the hemolymph were impaired. Our results demonstrate that neonicotinoid insecticides can negatively affect the immunocompetence of queens, possibly leading to an impaired disease resistance capacity.

Project description:Daphnia are an important and widely studied model species in ecological and toxicological studies throughout the world and an official (OECD) recommended test organism. Their small size, wide distribution and easy growth conditions make this an organism ideal for functional genomics based studies, including metabolic profiling and transcriptomics. In this study we used an integrated systems approach in which transcriptomic, metabolomic and energetic responses of juvenile (4 days old) daphnids were evaluated in response to exposure to two poly aromatic hydrocarbons (pyrene and fluoranthene) and binary mixtures thereof. In addition, these responses were linked to responses measured during chronic experiments (21 days) assessing survival, growth and reproductive traits. Custom Daphnia magna microarrays were used to assess transcriptomic changes. Hierarchical cluster analysis did not result in a clear distinction between the single compounds suggesting similar molecular modes of action. Cluster analysis with both the single compounds and the binary mixture treatments resulted in a separation of treatments based on differences in toxic ratios rather than component differences. Changes in the metabolic profiles of the organisms were investigated using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy and Gas and Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry. These multivariate metabolomic datasets were analysed with Principal Components Analysis and Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis. The major metabolite changes responsible for the differences observed indicated a disturbance in aminosugar metabolism in all cases. The study demonstrates the potential of ’omics’ to provide screening tools for monitoring of the freshwater environment – in invertebrate species - which is reasonably rapid, cost-effective and has the potential to greatly increase the amount of information obtained from aquatic toxicology testing.

Project description:The recent development of a custom cDNA microarray platform for one of thé standard organisms in aquatic toxicology, Daphnia magna, opened up new ways to mechanistic insights of toxicological responses. In this study, gene expression and (sub)organismal responses (Cellular Energy Allocation, growth) were assayed after short-term waterborne metal exposure. Microarray analysis of Ni-exposed daphnids revealed several affected functional gene classes, of which the largest ones were involved in different metabolic processes (mainly protein and chitin related processes), cuticula turnover, transport and signal transduction. Furthermore, genes involved in oxygen transport and heme metabolism (hemoglobin, δ-aminolevilunate synthase) were down-regulated. Applying a Partial Least Squares regression on nickel fingerprints and biochemical (sub)organismal parameters revealed a set of co-varying genes (hemoglobin, RNA terminal phosphate cyclase, a ribosomal protein and an “unknown” gene fragment). An inverse relationship was seen between the mRNA expression levels of different cuticula proteins and available energy reserves. In addition to the nickel exposure, daphnids were exposed to binary mixtures of nickel and cadmium or nickel and lead. Using multivariate analysis techniques, the mixture gene expression fingerprints (Ni2++Cd2+, Ni2++Pb2+) were compared to those of the single metal treatments (Ni2+, Cd2+, Pb2+). It was hypothesized that the molecular fingerprints of the mixtures would be additive combinations of the gene expression profiles of the individual compounds present in the mixture. However, our results clearly showed additionally affected pathways after mixture treatment (e.g. additional affected genes involved in carbohydrate catabolic processes and proteolysis), indicating interactive molecular responses which are not merely the additive sum of the individual metals. These findings, although indicative of the complex nature of mixture toxicity evaluation, underline the potential of a toxicogenomics approach in gaining more mechanistic information on the effects of single compounds and mixtures.

The study demonstrates the potential of âomicsâ to provide screening tools for monitoring of the freshwater environment â in invertebrate species - which is reasonably rapid, cost-effective and has the potential to greatly increase the amount of information obtained from aquatic toxicology testing. Two independent experiments were performed, each with two biological replicates. As a result, every treatment was measured four times with the exception of the two highest mixtures doses where we only had two available replicates. In general, a universal reference design was used in which the reference sample was a pool composed of aliquots from all samples. Dye-bias effects were accounted for by labeling two samples of every treatment with Cy3 and two with Cy5. Exp1Rep1 (reference Cy3, sample Cy5); Exp1Rep2 (reference Cy5, sample Cy3); Exp2Rep1 (reference Cy5, sample Cy3) and Exp2Rep2 (reference Cy3, sample Cy5)

These findings, although indicative of the complex nature of mixture toxicity evaluation, underline the potential of a toxicogenomics approach in gaining more mechanistic information on the effects of single compounds and mixtures. In general, a universal reference design was used. The following analysis (normalization and statistical analysis) was performed. Spots were identified and ratioâs quantified by means of the Genepix software 5.0 (Axon Instruments). Subsequently, a MIAME compliant platform, the BioArray Software Environment Database (BASE 1.2.12, http://www.islab.ua.ac.be/base/) was used for storage, further evaluation and succeeding statistical analysis of the microarray datasets. After a local background correction, spots with a foreground larger than the mean local background +2 standard deviations for one or both colours were selected for further analysis. The Log2 transformed Cy3/Cy5 ratio data were normalized by implementation of a Locally Weighed Scatterplot Smoothing (Lowess) (Yang et al., 2002) step, which is an intensity-based method. Significant vertical cut-off values of log -0.85 and 0.85 were determined through multiple self-self hybridizations. These were performed by labelling the same biological material with both Cy3 and Cy5 dyes and hybridizing them simultaneously on a microarray slide. To statistically evaluate the microarray results, Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) described by Tusher et al. (2001) was applied on the Lowess normalized datasets. With this SAM approach a false discovery rate (FDR) below 5% was applied. As a result genes with log2 ratios outside the confidence interval of -0.85 and 0.85 were considered as differentially expressed gene fragments when FDR was below 5%.

Project description:The effects of neonicotinoid insecticides (NNIs) on honey bee health is intensely debated, with numerous studies showing negative effects of exposure, while others report no such effects. Understanding the cause of these differences is critical for developing evidence-based policy on the use of NNIs. We carried out experiments to study the genetic and molecular basis of NNI tolerance in honey bees, which may underlie the discrepancies observed in the literature. We discovered that worker survival post-exposure to an acute oral dose of clothianidin is heritable (H2=37.8%).
