DNA damage and oxidative stress responses to pollution of Mytilus galloprovincialis L. from the Izmir Bay (Turkey): Seasonal evaluation
In the current study, the relationship between DNA damage and heavy metal pollutions was evaluated by sampling mussels from Izmir Bay (Turkey), which has different anthropogenic impacts in the Aegean Sea. M. galloprovincialis was selected as a bioindicator organism to determine the heavy metal amounts, SOD, CAT, TBARS levels and to detect the DNA damage in 4 different stations of Izmir Bay. A significant increase was detected in all heavy metals in the digestive gland tissue of the mussels collected from the Alsancak in summer compared to spring. Especially, Zn levels of gills and digestive glands of mussels collected from Alsancak in summer were detected 22.411 and 40.447 μg/g, respectively. According to MPI values, significant differences were determined in Urla and the highest accumulation was calculated in gill tissue. The activities of SOD and CAT enzymes were found at a very high level in mussel gills and glands at all stations except Urla in summer compared to them in spring. Additionally, TBARS levels were higher in mussel gills and gonad tissues at Inciralti and Urla stations in summer compared to spring samples. DNA damage classification in mussel hemocytes from all stations was identified according to the Comet assay. The test results showed that a statistically significant decrease in DNA% in comet tails in hemocytes of mussels collected from all stations in Summer was found compared to them in Spring. Also, at all stations except Alsancak, the genetic damage index decreased in summer compared to spring. While a positive correlation was detected between heavy metal pollution and DNA damage in mussels taken from Alsancak and Inciraltı (r = 0.734), a significant correlation was detected in Pasaport and Urla in both seasons (r = 0.999). This study indicates that heavy metal contaminations in the mussels of Izmir Bay are still an environmental problem on this area. DNA damage is an appropriate biomarker for genotoxicity evaluation even in low heavy metal contaminated areas.
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.
