Genotoxicity and cytotoxicity assessment of 'forever chemicals' in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) comprise many chemicals with strong carbon-carbon and carbon-fluorine bonds and have extensive industrial applications in manufacturing several consumer products. The solid covalent bonding makes them more persistent in the environment and stays away from all types of degradation, naming them 'forever chemicals.' Zebrafish (Danio rerio) was used to evaluate the genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of legacy PFAS, Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), and its alternatives, such as Perfluoro-2-methyl-3-oxahexanoic acid ammonium (GenX) and 7H-Perfluoro-3,6-dioxa-4-methyl-octane-1-sulfonic acid (Nafion by-product 2 [NBP2]) upon single and combined exposure at an environmental concentration of 10 µg/L for 48-h. Erythrocyte micronucleus cytome assay (EMNCA) revealed an increased frequency of micronuclei (MN) in fish erythrocytes with a significant increase in NBP2-treated fish. The order of genotoxicity noticed was NBP2 > PFOS > Mixture > GenX in D. rerio. Fish exposed to PFOS and its alternatives in single and combined experiments did not cause any significant difference in nuclear abnormalities. However, PFOS and combined exposure positively inhibit cytokinesis, resulting in an 8.16 and 7.44-fold-change increase of binucleated cells. Besides, statistically, increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content indicate oxidative stress in D. rerio. In addition, 'forever chemicals' resulted in cytotoxicity, as evident through changes in nucleus width to the erythrocyte length in NBP2 and mixture exposure groups. The findings revealed that PFAS alternative NBP2 is more toxic than PFOS in inducing DNA damage and cytotoxicity. In addition, all three tested 'forever chemicals' induced ROS and lipid peroxidation after individual and combined exposure. The present work is the first to concern the genotoxicity and cytotoxicity of 'forever chemicals' in the aquatic vertebrate D. rerio.
期刊介绍:
Mutation Research - Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis (MRGTEM) publishes papers advancing knowledge in the field of genetic toxicology. Papers are welcomed in the following areas:
New developments in genotoxicity testing of chemical agents (e.g. improvements in methodology of assay systems and interpretation of results).
Alternatives to and refinement of the use of animals in genotoxicity testing.
Nano-genotoxicology, the study of genotoxicity hazards and risks related to novel man-made nanomaterials.
Studies of epigenetic changes in relation to genotoxic effects.
The use of structure-activity relationships in predicting genotoxic effects.
The isolation and chemical characterization of novel environmental mutagens.
The measurement of genotoxic effects in human populations, when accompanied by quantitative measurements of environmental or occupational exposures.
The application of novel technologies for assessing the hazard and risks associated with genotoxic substances (e.g. OMICS or other high-throughput approaches to genotoxicity testing).
MRGTEM is now accepting submissions for a new section of the journal: Current Topics in Genotoxicity Testing, that will be dedicated to the discussion of current issues relating to design, interpretation and strategic use of genotoxicity tests. This section is envisaged to include discussions relating to the development of new international testing guidelines, but also to wider topics in the field. The evaluation of contrasting or opposing viewpoints is welcomed as long as the presentation is in accordance with the journal''s aims, scope, and policies.
