Effects of subchronic exposure to carbofuran on antioxidant defence system and malondialdehyde levels in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

The present study focused on the assessment of oxidative stress induction by pesticides such as carbamates which are widely used as insecticides and nematicides and contaminate aquatic ecosystems on certain biomarkers in liver of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). Biomarkers selected for stress monitoring were malondialdehyde (MDA), an index of lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defence system enzymes, mainly catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activities in liver of fish exposed to 0, 10, 50, or 100?µg?L^?1 of carbofuran for 4, 15, or 30 days. Oxidative stress was found in liver of common carp exposed to carbofuran which was manifested by a decrease in CAT and GR activities after 4 and 30 days of exposure. An adaptive response was probably produced since at day 15 no modifications in the CAT activity and increased GR activity were observed. In addition, a decrease in MDA content with the highest concentration of carbofuran used was found after 30 days of exposure. However, no significant changes were found in GST activity showing a varied response. The results concerning oxidative and antioxidant profiles indicate that subchronic exposure to the insecticide carbofuran is capable of inducing oxidative stress in fish.     

东洞庭湖网箱养殖鲤鱼生长期内重金属的富集特征

于2012年2—7月对东洞庭湖网箱养殖鲤鱼(Cyprinus carpio)按生长期进行样品采集,采用原子吸收分光光度法测定水样和饲料以及鲤鱼鳃、肝脏和肌肉中的重金属含量. 结果表明:鲤鱼生长环境中的水质属于GB 3838—2002《地表水环境质量标准》中Ⅰ类水平,但饲料中重金属质量分数相对较高,成为鲤鱼富集重金属的主要来源. 在鲤鱼生长期内,鱼体内的w(Pb)和w(Cu)均随着鲤鱼的生长而增加. 鲤鱼鳃中Pb未检出,w(Cu)为0.143～0.703mg/kg;肝脏中w(Pb)和w(Cu)分别为0.006～0.181和0.625～6.177mg/kg;肌肉中w(Pb)和w(Cu)分别为nd～0.034和nd～0.161mg/kg. w(Zn)和w(Cd)均随着鲤鱼的生长先增加后下降,在1～4月龄的鲤鱼体内w(Zn)在鳃、肝脏和肌肉中分别从40.121、21.302和2.032mg/kg增至258.964、146.155和18.011mg/kg,w(Cd)则分别从0.015、0.031和0.003mg/kg增至0.078、0.151和0.021mg/kg;4月龄后,w(Zn)在鳃、肝脏和肌肉中逐渐降至173.182、104.219和5.490mg/kg,w(Cd)也降至0.037、0.111和0.018mg/kg. 在鲤鱼生长过程中,肝脏是Pb、Cd和Cu的主要富集部位,鳃是Zn的主要富集部位,肌肉是重金属富集的最弱部位,并且这3个部位间重金属富集的相关性较强.      

2-碘芴在鲮鱼(Cirrhina molitorella)中的积累、分布、代谢和排泄

卤代芴是近年发现的新型环境污染物,目前尚无其生态毒理学研究的报道。以~(125)I-2-碘芴(~(125)I-2-IFlu)作为2-碘芴(2-IFlu)的放射性示踪剂,研究了2-IFlu在鲮鱼(Cirrhina molitorella)中的吸收、分布、代谢和排泄过程;同时,以2-溴芴(2-Br Flu)作为2-IFlu的质谱示踪剂,进一步对2-IFlu在鲮鱼体内的生物转化产物进行结构表征。结果表明,鲮鱼对2-IFlu的积累表现为波浪式增长,浓集系数在积累7 d时达到1 251.13。2-IFlu及其代谢产物主要积累在鲮鱼的胆囊部位,峰值时所占比例超过生物总吸收量的60%,此时胆囊的浓集系数达78.85×103。鲮鱼对2-IFlu的排泄具有清晰的快、慢两个排泄阶段,排泄实验开始后短时间内拥有较快排泄速度,残留率降至19.20%,之后转入慢速排泄。快排泄期2-IFlu及其代谢物仍主要分布于胆囊部位,慢排泄期时分布于其余内脏和剩余组织中。对胆汁的甲醇提取物进行薄层层析-放射自显影分析发现,积累4 d时鲮鱼胆汁中的2-IFlu全部以其代谢物形式存在,主代谢产物为3种大极性物质。经质谱确认,鲮鱼胆汁中的2-IFlu代谢主产物为2-IFlu-硫酸酯、2-IFlu-(OH)-硫酸酯、2-IFlu-葡萄糖醛酸和2-IFlu-(OH)-葡萄糖醛酸。表明2-IFlu进入鲮鱼体内后,很快被转化为一相代谢氧化产物,随之发生后续的二相代谢过程进一步转化为极性基团加合的代谢产物,最终排出体外。     

邻苯二甲酸二乙基己酯（DEHP）对金鲫鱼脑细胞DNA的损伤

为了研究邻苯二甲酸二乙基己酯(DEHP)对金鲫鱼(Carassius auratu)脑细胞DNA的损伤作用,采用不同浓度的DEHP溶液(0、25、50、100、200mg·L-1)对体外培养脑细胞进行染毒,应用单细胞凝胶电泳(彗星实验)检测脑细胞DNA的损伤效应.结果表明,染毒1.5h后,与对照组相比,DEHP各染毒组细胞尾部DNA百分率(Tail DNA%)和尾矩(Tail Moment)均显著升高(p<0.01),即DEHP染毒引起了脑细胞DNA的严重断裂;随着DEHP浓度的增加,DNA损伤程度加剧,细胞尾部DNA百分率及尾距与DEHP染毒浓度呈明显的剂量-效应关系.以上结果表明,DEHP可导致金鲫鱼脑细胞DNA损伤。     

三峡库区大宁河与磨刀溪重金属污染特征

为揭示三峡库区重金属污染的潜在风险,分析了三峡库区大宁河和磨刀溪两条典型支流沉积物和野生鲫鱼体内重金属水平,并分别采用潜在生态危害指数法和综合污染指数法对重金属污染风险进行了评价.结果表明,沉积物中Zn和Cr含量均处于较高水平(大宁河:78.31和83.98 mg.kg-1;磨刀溪:99.03和94.20 mg.kg-1),而Cd含量水平最低(大宁河:0.62mg.kg-1;磨刀溪:0.75 mg.kg-1),并从上游到下游表现为明显的升高趋势.野生鲫鱼各组织以肌肉中各种重金属水平最低,肠最高,但在2条支流中均没有表现出上下游的变化趋势.潜在生态危害指数法评价沉积物重金属污染处于较高风险,综合污染指数法评价鱼体重金属污染的风险低于背景值.     

Histopathological alterations in gill,liver and kidney of common carp exposed to chlorpyrifos

Histopathological alterations in gill, liver and kidney of common carp, Cyprinus carpio, intoxicated with sub-lethal concentrations of chlorpyrifos (O,O,-diethyl-O-3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyl phosphorothioate) pesticide (1 and 100 μg/L) for a period of 14 days were analyzed under light microscope. Gill exhibited hyperplasia and hypertrophy of gill epithelium, blood congestion, dilation of marginal channel, epithelial lifting, lamellar fusion, lamellar disorganization, lamellar aneurysm, rupture of the lamellar epithelium, rupture of pillar cells and necrosis. Alterations in hepatocytes were more pronounced, including nuclear and cellular hypertrophy, cellular atrophy, irregular contour of cells and nucleus, cytoplasmic vacuolation, cytoplasmic and nuclear degeneration, cellular rupture, pyknotic nucleus, necrosis and melanomacrophages aggregations. Histopathological lesions in kidney were cellular and nuclear hypertrophy, narrowing of tubular lumen, cytoplasmic vacuolation, hyaline droplet degeneration, nuclear degeneration, occlusion of tubular lumen, tubular regeneration, dilation of glomerular capillaries, degeneration of glomerulus and hemorrhage in Bowman's space. The most significant conclusion drawn from this study was that with the increased concentration and duration the toxicosis of chlorpyrifos would be enhanced as shown through the analysis of mean assessment value (MAV) and degree of tissue changes (DTC) also.     

MC-LR对草鱼肠道显微结构和炎症相关细胞因子表达的影响

微囊藻毒素-LR(MC-LR)是蓝藻水华暴发产生的一种毒素,在水生生态系统中广泛分布.为探讨MC-LR对鱼类的肠道免疫毒性,分别对草鱼经腹腔注射不同剂量的MC-LR(25、75和100μg·kg-1),24、48、72和96 h后取样,分别进行组织病理变化和炎症相关细胞因子表达分析.显微结构结果显示,肠道组织病理变化表现为微绒毛结构破坏并伴随淋巴细胞浸润,肠上皮细胞排列紊乱,杯状细胞数目显著增多,粘膜固有层充血,在高剂量组甚至出现粘膜固有层分离的现象,且有剂量和时间效应.采用荧光定量PCR方法检测了炎症相关细胞因子IL-1β、IL-8、IL-10、TNF-α和TGF-β的mRNA转录水平变化.结果显示促炎性细胞因子IL-1β、IL-8和TNF-α表达在低剂量组显著上升,而在高剂量组的表达多被抑制;而抗炎性细胞因子IL-10 mRNA仅在25μg·kg-1BW处理组表达差异变化显著,但在高剂量组表达变化差异不显著,TGF-β1的表达仅在75和100μg·kg-1处理组分别处理72和24 h后显著降低,其他差异不显著.从以上结果推测MC-LR的肠道免疫毒性主要表现为肠黏膜结构的破坏以及产生炎性反应,其中对肠黏膜结构的破坏具有剂量依赖效应.
