Developmental exposure to pesticides that disrupt retinoic acid signaling causes persistent retinoid and behavioral dysfunction in zebrafish

Hawkey, A. B., Shekey, N., Dean, C., Asrat, H., Koburov, R., Holloway, Z. R., … Levin, E. D. (2024, January 17). TOXICOLOGICAL SCIENCES, Vol. 1.

By: A. Hawkey*, N. Shekey n, C. Dean*, H. Asrat*, R. Koburov*, Z. Holloway*, S. Kullman n, E. Levin*

author keywords: zebrafish; development; neurobehavioral toxicology; retinoic acid receptors
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that early developmental exposure to environmental toxicants that interfere with RA signaling cause short as well as long-term behavioral disruption in a well-established zebrafish behavioral model and the meaning of the RA adverse outcome pathway is expanded, indicating that observed effects likely correspond with the nature of underlying homeostatic effects.

Biological assessments of a mixture of endocrine disruptors at environmentally relevant concentrations in water following UV/H2O2 oxidation

Science of The Total Environment, 376(1-3), 18–26.

By: P. Chen*, E. Rosenfeldt*, S. Kullman*, D. Hinton* & K. Linden*

author keywords: endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs); UV/H2O2 oxidation process; yeast estrogen screen (YES); vitellogenin (VTG)
MeSH headings : Animals; Benzhydryl Compounds; Drug Interactions; Endocrine Disruptors / toxicity; Estradiol / toxicity; Estrogens / toxicity; Ethinyl Estradiol / toxicity; Hydrogen Peroxide / chemistry; Male; Oryzias / metabolism; Oxidants / chemistry; Oxidation-Reduction; Phenols / toxicity; Photolysis; Receptors, Estrogen / metabolism; Rivers; Ultraviolet Rays; Vitellogenins / biosynthesis; Water Pollutants, Chemical / toxicity; Water Purification / methods; Yeasts / metabolism
TL;DR: The removal rates of in vitro and in vivo estrogenic activity of the EDC mixtures were lower than those observed for single compounds, and slower in natural waters, likely due to lower steady-state concentrations of hydroxyl radicals in the presence of *OH scavengers from the water matrix and EDC mixture.
