Di-butyl phthalate (DBP) induces defects during embryonic eye development in zebrafish

Sophie Barbagallo et al.

Summary: DBP, a commonly used phthalate ester, is found to leach into the environment from plastics due to its noncovalent binding. Exposure to environmentally relevant doses of DBP during early embryonic development has been shown to have toxic effects on eye development in zebrafish embryos, including defects in eye vascularization and optic nerve loss. Studies on the ecological and environmental safety related to the production and exposure of phthalates are needed due to the increasing global production levels.

Perfluorononanoate and Perfluorobutane Sulfonate Induce Cardiotoxic Effects in Zebrafish

Hongjian Gong et al.

Summary: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, common ingredients in industrial and consumer products, have been found to pose a potential risk to human health. This study reveals the cardiotoxic effects of PFNA and PFBS in zebrafish embryos, suggesting a similar effect in humans. Further research should be conducted to evaluate the mechanisms of their cardiotoxic effects.

Multi- and Transgenerational Effects of Developmental Exposure to Environmental Levels of PFAS and PFAS Mixture in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Alex Haimbaugh et al.

Summary: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are widely present in the environment and have various health effects. This study investigates the effects of PFAS exposure on zebrafish across multiple generations. Results show that PFAS exposure can cause morphological abnormalities, behavior changes, and disruptions in gene expression in both direct and indirect exposure. This research provides important insights into the potential transgenerational effects of PFASs on aquatic organisms.

Summary: This study compared the toxicity of three different chain length per-fluoroalkyl acids on developing zebrafish, finding that they induced different behavioral, morphological, and molecular pathway alterations. The results support the predictive value of transcriptome approach in predicting adverse health outcomes associated with per-fluoroalkyl acid exposure.

Ryanodine receptor-active non-dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls cause neurobehavioral deficits in larval zebrafish

Bianca Yaghoobi et al.

Summary: Although polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were banned in the United States in 1977, they continue to pose significant risks to the developing nervous system. Perinatal exposure to PCBs has been associated with increased risk of neuropsychiatric disorders, potentially due to changes in dendritic arborization of central neurons. This study demonstrates in vivo evidence that sensitization of ryanodine receptors (RYR) contributes to the developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) of PCBs.

PFAS Exposure Pathways for Humans and Wildlife: A Synthesis of Current Knowledge and Key Gaps in Understanding

Amila O. De Silva et al.

Summary: The understanding of human and wildlife exposures to PFAS has mainly focused on a few traditional substances, but there is a need for assessment of a wider range of new PFAS. Diet is a major pathway of human exposure to some PFAS, but there is significant variability across populations and compounds. Total fluorine data and information on unidentified organofluorine are essential, and water has been identified as a major exposure source in contaminated communities. As water sources are remediated, other sources of exposure such as dust, personal care products, and indoor environments may become more significant.

PCB and TCDD derived embryonic cardiac defects result from a novel AhR pathway

Corinna Singleman et al.

Summary: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) are environmental contaminants that impact cardiac development through the activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Research reveals that these compounds cause failures in early cardiac looping and disrupt endocardial cell adhesion and tissue integrity. The study suggests that the mechanism of action for PCBs and TCDD in the heart differs from the canonical pathway described in literature, impacting cardiac defects through a non-genomic mechanism.

Cytochrome P450-dependent biotransformation capacities in embryonic, juvenile and adult stages of zebrafish (Danio rerio)-a state-of-the-art review

Ann-Kathrin Loerracher et al.

Summary: There is a strong trend towards using zebrafish embryos as translational models in ecotoxicological and toxicological testing strategies, leading to an increasing need to understand their biotransformation capacity. However, there is still insufficient research on the expression patterns and activities of CYP isoforms in juvenile and adult zebrafish. Studies have shown qualitative similarities but quantitative differences in metabolic activities between zebrafish embryos and later developmental stages, highlighting the importance of further research to assess metabolic profiles and capacities of CYP isoforms in zebrafish.

Cardiotoxicity of some pesticides and their amelioration

Yasser El-Nahhal et al.

Summary: Pesticides are used to control pests, but their application can lead to contamination of food and water systems, causing harm to humans. There is insufficient information on pesticides causing cardiotoxicity, necessitating further research. The use of cardiotoxicity-ameliorating agents, such as vitamin C, has shown positive effects in managing pesticide poisoning cases.
