After contamination of water bodies, pesticides cause adverse effects on non-target organisms and long-term problems in the ecosystem. Lambda-cyhalothrin (LCH) is a chemical compound belonging to the family of synthetic pyrethroids (type II) and is an active ingredient in several insecticides. This study investigated the toxic effects (DNA damage) of LCH exposure on zebrafish for 24 and 72 h.

They were randomly selected, transferred to the experimental aquariums (their average height is 2.51 ± 0.49 cm long, 10 L aquarium size of 10x20x35), and exposed to 0.1 mg/L LCH concentrations for 24 and 72 h. There was also a control and a solvent control group in the study, and whole body tissues of zebrafish were analyzed for 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OhdG) determination (ng/100 mg tissue), using an Agilent LC-MS/MS with electrospray ionization in positive ion mode.

TCE-sensitization mice treated with IWP-2 showed downregulated Wnt5a/JNK expression, reduced Kupffer cell activation, and decreased liver injury. At the same time, we found that phosphorylated JNK in TCE-sensitization mouse livers and extracted Kupffer cells showed a significant downward trend after inhibition of Wnt5a function. We also found that a specific JNK inhibitor, SP600125, decreased the secretion of cytokines and chemokines and decreased Kupffer cell activation. We demonstrated that Wnt5a/JNK was involved in the regulation of liver injury in TCE-sensitization mice and that it exacerbated liver injury by activating Kupffer cells and releasing chemokines.
