Assessing water quality in a tropical lake using biomarkers in zebrafish embryos: developmental toxicity and stress protein responses

In order to achieve a more substantial appraisal of lake water quality, the assessment must not be based only on chemical measurements and analyses of the water itself, but even more so on the impact of existing conditions on aquatic biota. This is possible with the use of biotests or biomarkers, e.g. investigations of the developmental parameters (96-h embryotoxicity evaluate) or of the induction of heat shock proteins (proteotoxicity evaluate). To evaluate the suitability of these tests for environmental screening, fertilized zebrafish eggs were exposed to water samples collected from five sites of varying levels of stress from Laguna Lake, Philippines. Reconstituted water was used as laboratory control while water samples from a highly polluted freshwater source was used as positive control. Developmental parameters were noted and described within 48 and 96 h of exposure. Dilution experiments of the positive control were also done to further assess and compare toxicity potentials of Laguna Lake waters with those originating from a polluted freshwater. After the 96-h exposure, the levels of stress proteins (hsp 70) were determined in embryos from all exposure groups. Results showed 100% mortality in embryos exposed to undiluted positive control (PC) within only 12 h. Increasing dilution levels, however, resulted in lower mortality and lower abnormality rates. No detectable developmental differences were noted among embryos exposed to either the laboratory control or Laguna Lake waters at the end of 96 h, regardless of the source. Very high survival rates and high hatching success rates were observed in embryos exposed to lake waters as well as laboratory control, and the data did not differ significantly among the groups. Likewise, no significant malformations were noted among all developing embryos throughout the exposure period. However, the levels of heat shock proteins in the two sites located closest to Manila, the Philippine capital (Northern West Bay and Central West Bay), showed a pronounced elevation relative to the control, indicating that these stress proteins protect the embryos from the detrimental effects of pollutants in the water. Based on the 96-h early life stage (ELS) test, the water quality of the lake is good for fishery propagation despite the current levels of pollutants in the water. This finding is in accordance with the Class C status (i.e. suitable for fish growth and propagation) as given to the lake by the local environmental agency. On the other hand, data on proteotoxicity showed that the fish are under stress, presumably deriving from pollutants. This calls for a continuous monitoring and improvement of the lake water. The present study indicates that the two biomarker methods are very easy to use, practical, rapid, and sensitive for assessing water quality in a tropical lake and recommends for their incorporation into the future monitoring program of Laguna Lake.     

Wet Strength and Water Resistance of Modified Soy Protein Adhesives and Effects of Drying Treatment

Soy protein isolate (SPI) was modified using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl). Adhesion performance of the modified SPI on fiberboard was studied. The Water-soluble mass of the modified SPI adhesives was examined following modified ASTM D5570. The SDS-modified SPI containing 91% protein had a water-soluble mass of 1.7%. To be considered a water-resistant adhesive, the water-soluble mass of adhesive should be less than 2%. The wet shear strength test showed 100% cohesive failure within fiberboard, indicating that the modified SPI has good water resistance. The effect of drying treatment on adhesion performance of the SDS-modified SPI on fiberboard was then investigated. Drying treatment significantly affected the final adhesion performance. Shear strength did not change much, but the percentage of cohesive failure within fiberboard increased markedly as drying temperature increased. All the unsoaked, soaked, and wet specimens glued by the adhesives treated at 70° or 90°C had 100% cohesive failure within fiberboard. Viscosity also increased greatly with an increase in drying temperature. This information will be useful in developing low-cost adhesive processing system in the future.

Validation of a conductometric bienzyme biosensor for the detection of proteins as marker of organic matter in river samples

This article describes a conductometric bi-layer based bienzyme biosensor for the detection of proteins as a marker of organic matter in rivers. Proteins were chosen to be used as indicators of urban pollution. The working mechanism of the bienzyme biosensor is based on the enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins into several fractions (peptides and amino acids), which results in a local conductivity change depending of the concentration of proteins. In this work, we began with the optimization of biosensor response using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as standard protein. For this objective seven enzymatic biosensors were prepared: four enzymatic sensors with only one layer of enzyme (proteinase K, trypsin, pronase or protease X) and three other enzymatic sensors with two layers (first layer: membrane containing proteinase K; second layer: one of the three other enzymes: trypsin, pronase or protease X). The biosensors were obtained through the deposition of enzymatic layers and the cross-linking process between enzymes and BSA in saturated glutaraldehyde vapour. The response of the various biosensors, described previously, were compared with the values of total organic carbon (TOC), and those of organic nitrogen (Norg), as determined by the laboratory accredits (CEMAGREF of Lyon) using the traditional method of analysis (NF EN 1484, infrared spectroscopy) and (NF EN 25663, mineralization/colorimetry assay) respectively for each water sample obtained from di erent sites in Lyon (France). The linear correlations obtained with the response of the seven biosensors showed the most important indices of correlations for the biosensor with two enzymatic layers: proteinase K + pronase (pkp). The optimum conditions for the preparation of the pkp biosensor increased the sensitivity and gave a limit of quantification of 0.583 g/L for TOC and 0.218 g/L for Norg in water samples. This sensor shows good reproducibility (2.28%), a capacity to be used at temperatures range 10– 30°C (depending on the season) and moreover a long lifetime (5 weeks).

多溴联苯醚和全氟烷基酸的分子毒理机制研究

多溴联苯醚(PBDEs)和全氟烷基酸(PFAAs)是两类使用量大、环境污染广泛、人体暴露严重的新型有机污染物,2009年已纳入《斯德哥尔摩公约》持久性有机污染物(POPs)名单,但其毒性效应及作用机制并不明确.本文综述了本课题组近几年针对多溴联苯醚PBDEs和全氟烷基酸PFAAs的分子毒理机制研究工作,主要集中在这两类污染物对甲状腺系统、雌激素系统和肝脏脂肪酸代谢系统干扰效应的分子机制研究.本文分别从分子、细胞和活体三个层面,研究了污染物与核受体的直接结合作用、结合后受体的构象变化、细胞内受体的转录活性、以及活体暴露后受体调控基因的表达变化,由此阐明了污染物通过与受体直接作用导致细胞和活体生物功能改变的分子机制.同时结合计算模拟,探讨了污染物生物效应与其化学结构之间的关系,发现污染物的受体活性取决于它们与受体结合的空间构型,而其活性强度基本与二者的结合能力一致,主要受疏水作用和氢键的影响.此外,还通过研究污染物与天然配体转运蛋白的相互作用,明确了各个污染物与转运蛋白的结合能力,探讨了其构效关系,并评估了污染物对天然配体在体内转运过程的潜在干扰效应.通过上述研究工作,提出了多层面、多靶点研究环境污染物分子毒理机制的新思路,建立和引进了研究污染物与生物靶分子相互作用的新方法,发现了PBDEs、PFAAs与TR、ER、PPARγ核受体结合的新模式,为深入了解这些污染物的分子毒理机制提供了有用的信息和有效的研究手段.     

2,3,7,8-四氯苯并二噁英（TCDD）短期染毒可造成着床前胚胎丢失并伴随雌性生殖器官中毒物相关蛋白的诱导表达（Short Time Exposure of TCDD Causing Loss of Implantation Failure of Embryos and Its Associated with Induced Expression of Relevant Proteins）

为探明妊娠早期胚胎的丢失是否与卵巢、输卵管、子宫组织受到2,3,7,8-四氯苯并二噁英(TCDD)直接毒害有关,检测了NIH小鼠胚胎着床前期和后期TCDD暴露对胚胎毒性影响的敏感性,并利用免疫组化方法分析了模型动物肝脏、子宫、输卵管和卵巢组织中TCDD所引起的AhR、ARNT以及Cyp1a2分子标记物的变化.检测发现:妊娠第9d,100ng·kg-1·d-1剂量TCDD经口染毒,造成胚胎着床数量减少,且着床前期暴露的影响大于着床后期;子宫蜕膜反应受到明显抑制;胚胎迁移率没有明显变化,但胚胎数量减少.免疫组织化学分析发现正常组小鼠的肝脏、子宫、输卵管和卵巢组织中有AhR和Cyp1a2弱阳性信号表达,ARNT有细胞核的强阳性信号表达;妊娠第1～8d、第1～3d和第4～8d处理组小鼠肝脏、子宫、输卵管和卵巢组织中的AhR、Cyp1a2的阳性面积和光密度值均高于正常组;随处理时间和组织蓄积量的增加,ARNT在组织中的变化由胞核(妊娠第1～3d组)表达到胞浆(妊娠第4～8d组)表达,然后完全无表达(妊娠第1～8d组).以上研究结果表明:TCDD对早期妊娠小鼠子宫、输卵管和卵巢组织中的AhR、ARNT和Cyp1a2的激活和代谢方式与肝脏相同,说明雌性生殖系统中的组织有TCDD蓄积和代谢活性,这可能是导致早期胚胎迁移、着床等过程改变,造成胚胎丢失的重要原因.     

污泥EPS高值、高效提取与回收技术发展趋势

污泥有机质（特别是胞外聚合物,EPS）高值产品回收将会推动污水/污泥资源化.然而,EPS典型提取方法效率较低、回收产物成分复杂,限制了EPS目标物质的高效提取、降低了回收物的潜在高值应用.为此,探究高值、高效EPS提取/回收技术极为重要.这就需要改变目前典型的"笼统"EPS提取方法,将"胞外多糖"和"胞外蛋白"这样的模糊提取物（实为"有机物混合物"）转变为单目标物质（如类藻酸盐物质、酸溶性EPS、硫酸盐多糖、淀粉样蛋白质以及透明质酸等）或多目标物质（依靠物理、化学性质差异分离、提纯）,实现产物的定向提取并保证其纯度,从而使回收产物获得高值利用.另一方面,把握进水水质、营养物负荷以及运行环境对污泥EPS形成的影响亦十分重要;同时,需要鉴定易形成EPS的优势菌并掌握其生理、生化特征,这对通过污水处理运行而"原位"增加EPS污泥本底含量具有非常重要的意义.此外,还需要针对高值组分进一步发展优化提取方法（如添加表面活性剂等）,以实现回收物高效提取与高值回收利用.
