Fipronil, a broad-spectrum chiral insecticide, has been documented to induce significant neurotoxicity to nontarget aquatic species; however, whether its neurotoxicity behaves enantioselectively and what molecular mechanisms correspond to the neurotoxicity remain unanswered. To date, few investigations have focused on the genomic mechanisms responsible for the enantioselective toxicity of chiral pesticides. The epigenetic modifications, especially DNA methylation, caused by the pesticides are also blind spot of the research works. Video tracking showed that R-fipronil exhibited more intense neurotoxicity, as well as the induction of more severe anxiety-like behavior, such as boosted swimming speed and dysregulated photoperiodic locomotion, to embryonic and larval zebrafish compared with S-fipronil. The MeDIP-Seq analysis, combined with Gene Ontology and KEGG, revealed that R-fipronil disrupted five signaling pathways (MAPK, Calcium signaling, Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, Purine metabolism, and Endocytosis) to a greater extent than S-fipronil through the hypermethylation of several important neuro-related genes, whereas no significant alterations of global DNA methylation were observed on the two enantiomers. To summarize, our data indicated that the fipronil-conducted enantioselective neurotoxicity likely applied its enantioselectivity by the dysregulation of DNA methylation. Our study also provided novel epigenetic insights into the study of enantioselective biological effects and the relevant underlying mechanisms of chiral insecticide. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
