Project description:Hypoxia is an important environmental stressor in aquatic ecosystems, with increasingly impacts on global biodiversity. Yellow catfish is an economically important farmed fish in China, which has increased dramatically. We investigated the response of hybrid yellow catfish to hypoxia under experimental conditions and focused on the analysis of the differential expression patterns of specific genes associated with hypoxia response by RNA-seq and qPCR analysis. A total of 1556 genes were captured significantly differentially expressed, and were categorized into immune response and energy metabolism. Functional enrichment analysis revealed the NLR signaling pathway play pivotal roles in hypoxia tolerance and resistance. Our study provides important insights into the physiological acclimation, immune response and defense activity of hybrid yellow catfish under hypoxia challenge.

Project description:Nanoplastics pollution is a rising environmental concern whose impacts on biodiversity and human health are far from being understood. This is particularly salient in aquatic ecosystems, where the majority of species depend on external fertilization for reproduction. Here we evaluated the effects of a short-term exposure to engineered polystyrene nanoplastics (NPs) in the zebrafish germ line to further explore their impact on reproduction. To this end, zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to 5 mg/L of 45 nm polystyrene (PS)-NPs via water for 96h. We show that, in males, nanoplastics induced testicular histological alterations with abnormal sperm clustering and chromatin compaction, resulting in viable spermatozoa but with reduced motility. Moreover, in females we observed an alteration in oocyte stages frequencies during oogenesis, possibly reflecting alterations in oocyte growth. RNA-sequencing analysis in male testis links nanoplastic induced alterations in the expression of genes involved in chromatin structure, meiosis and DNA double-strand break formation and repair progression, and gametes recognition. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the observed effects in males were directly due to nanoplastics penetrating the testicular barrier and being internalized within germline cells. Overall, our results demonstrate that acute exposure to NPs can compromise reproductive fitness, underscoring the environmental and health impacts of NPs pollution.

Project description:Epigenetic mechanisms have been found to play important roles in environmental stress response and regulation. These can, theoretically, be transmitted to future unexposed generations, yet few studies have shown persisting stress-induced transgenerational effects, particularly in invertebrates. Here, we focus on the aquatic microcrustacean Daphnia, a parthenogenetic model species, and its response to salinity stress. Salinity is a serious threat to freshwater ecosystems and a relevant form of environmental perturbation affecting freshwater ecosystems. We exposed one generation of D. magna to high levels of salinity (F0) and found that the exposure provoked specific methylation patterns that were transferred to the three consequent non-exposed generations (F1, F2 and F3). This was the case for the hypomethylation of six protein-coding genes with important roles in the organisms’ response to environmental change: DNA damage repair, cytoskeleton organization and protein synthesis. This suggests that epigenetic changes in Daphnia are particularly targeted to genes involved in coping with general cellular stress responses. Our results highlight that epigenetic marks are affected by environmental stressors and can be transferred to subsequent unexposed generations. Epigenetic marks could therefore prove to be useful indicators of past or historic pollution in this parthenogenetic model system. Furthermore, no life history costs seem to be associated with the maintenance of hypomethylation of across unexposed generations in Daphnia following a single stress exposure.

Project description:We are using a minimal model of interacting multispecies ecological communities that incorporates competition, immigration, and demographic noise. Importantly, the dynamics of the system are described by a birth-death process with interactions, whereby the abundance (the number of individuals) of any species is discrete, where the number of individuals from a given species increases or decreases by one following given birth or death rates (respectively).
We find rich behavior with many unexpected regimes. We apply the insights and implications of our model to the range of behaviors observed experimentally in different ecosystems—from bacteria to the immune system.

Project description:Tritium is an ubiquist radionuclide which can be found in the environment due to natural and anthropogenic activities, particularly in aquatic ecosystems. In this context, tritium effects on aquatic species such as fish have to be characterized. HTO (tritiated water) effects were therefore investigated in zebrafish, Danio rerio, a common model in toxicology and ecotoxicology with a fully sequenced genome. Experiments were conducted on early life stages. Larvae were exposed to 0.4 and 4 mGy/h of HTO until 10 days post fertilization. Tritium internalization was quantified and effects were investigated using a proteomic analysis. The global analysis of the proteome was performed after protein extraction at 7 and 10 dpf on zebrafish eggs exposed from 3 hpf to 10 dpf.

Project description:Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), owing to their effective antimicrobial properties, are being widely used in industry, daily life, and healthcare fields. However, the transformation and bioaccumulation of AgNPs discharged to the aquatic environment have raised extensive concerns about their environmental safety, especially the unintended impacts of AgNPs on microbial ecosystems and associated ecological risks. Toxicity of AgNPs to cyanobacteria has been examined, but the underlying chemical mechanisms of nanotoxicity are still obscure, including how the AgNPs are transported across the complex cell walls of cyanobacteria, and whether the nanoscale size of particles or their decomposition products mediate the cytotoxicity observed.
