Evaluation of genotoxicity using the micronucleus assay and nuclear abnormalities in the tropical sea fish Bathygobius soporator (Valenciennes, 1837) (Teleostei, Gobiidae)

The micronucleus and nuclear abnormalities assays have been used increasingly to evaluate genotoxicity of many compounds in polluted aquatic ecossystems. The aim of this study is to verify the efficiency of the micronucleus assay and nuclear abnormality assay in field and laboratory work, when using erythrocytes of the tropical marine fish Bathygobius soporator as genotoxicity biomarkers. Gill peripheral blood samples were obtained from specimens of Bathygobius soporator. In order to investigate the frequencies of micronuclei and to assess the sensitivity of species, the results were compared with samples taken at the reference site and maintained in the laboratory, and fish treated with cyclophosphamide. The micronucleus assay was efficient in demonstrating field pollution and reproducing results in the labotatory. There were significant higher frequencies of micronuclei in two sites subject to discharge of urban and industrial effluents. The nuclear abnormality assay did not appear to be an efficient tool for genotoxicity evaluation when compared with field samples taken at a reference site in laboratory, with a positive control.     

Genotoxic effects of Roundup on the fish Prochilodus lineatus

Glyphosate-based herbicides, such as Roundup, represent the most extensively used herbicides worldwide, including Brazil. Despite its extensive use, the genotoxic effects of this herbicide are not completely understood and studies with Roundup show conflicting results with regard to the effects of this product on the genetic material. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the genotoxic effects of acute exposures (6, 24 and 96 h) to 10 mg L(-1) of Roundup on the neotropical fish Prochilodus lineatus. Accordingly, fish erythrocytes were used in the comet assay, micronucleus test and for the analysis of the occurrence of nuclear abnormalities and the comet assay was adjusted for branchial cells. The results showed that Roundup produces genotoxic damage in erythrocytes and gill cells of P. lineatus. The comet scores obtained for P. lineatus erythrocytes after 6 and 96 h of exposure to Roundup were significantly higher than respective negative controls. For branchial cells comet scores were significantly higher than negative controls after 6 and 24 h exposures. The frequencies of micronucleus and other erythrocyte nuclear abnormalities (ENAs) were not significantly different between Roundup exposed fish and their respective negative controls, for all exposure periods. In conclusion, the results of this work showed that Roundup produced genotoxic effects on the fish species P. lineatus. The comet assay with gill cells showed to be an important complementary tool for detecting genotoxicity, given that it revealed DNA damage in periods of exposure that erythrocytes did not. ENAs frequency was not a good indicator of genotoxicity, but further studies are needed to better understand the origin of these abnormalities.     

Induction of micronuclei and other nuclear abnormalities in European minnow Phoxinus phoxinus and mollie Poecilia latipinna: an assessment of the fish micronucleus test

In this work, we have measured both micronuclei and other nuclear abnormalities in renal erythrocytes from European minnow Phoxinus phoxinus and mollie Poecilia latipinna, with the aim to contribute to the standardisation of the micronucleus test for fish species. Intraperitoneal injections of colchicine (10 mg/kg), cyclophosphamide (40 mg/kg), or mitomycin C (20 mg/kg) for 24 h induced diverse nuclear abnormalities in minnow erythrocytes, therefore nuclear abnormalities should be added to micronuclei as genotoxicity indicators in fish micronucleus tests. The adequacy of administration protocols based on intraperitoneal injections has been evaluated by injecting saline solution to both species: single or double injections have not induced neither micronuclei nor other nuclear abnormalities in any case. Finally, the differential sensitivity of both species to toxic heavy metals was evaluated by exposing individuals of both species to different doses (0.17, 1.7, 2x1.7, and 3.4 mg/kg) of cadmium and mercury for 24 h; we concluded that the mollie is sensitive to both metals whereas the minnow is not sensitive to mercury.     

Induction of micronucleus and nuclear alterations in fish (Oreochromis niloticus) by a petroleum refinery effluent

In this study, micronucleus and nuclear alterations tests were performed on erythrocytes of Oreochromis niloticus (Perciformes, Cichlidae) in order to evaluate the water quality of the Atibaia river, in an area that receives effluents discharge of a petroleum refinery and also to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatments used by the refinery. Water samples were collected in five different sites related with a refinery from S?o Paulo State, Brazil. For the micronucleus and nuclear alterations tests, O. niloticus specimens were exposed for 72 h to the water samples and in pure ground water (negative control). The results herein obtained indicated that the treatments used by the refinery diminished the cytogenetic damage; however they were not fully effective, since the final mill has induced damages in the genetic material of the test organism.     

The protective influence of ascorbic acid against the genotoxicity of waterborne lead exposure in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (L.)

The present study investigated the effects of lead (Pb) and ascorbic acid (AA) on Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus using the micronucleus (MN) and nuclear abnormality (NA) tests for periods of 7, 14 and 21 days. The MN frequencies in the erythrocytes, gill, liver and fin cells were analysed comparatively to evaluate the sensitivity and suitability of these different cell types. The NA shapes in erythrocytes were scored into blebbed nuclei (BL), lobed nuclei (LB), notched nuclei (NT) and binuclei (BN). It was observed that fish showed significant sensitivity to the different treatments. In general, the highest value of both MN and NA cells were significantly increased in the Pb-treated group followed by the combination of the Pb and AA-treated group. On the other hand, the MN and NA frequencies in erythrocytes were the most sensitive to the treatment and could provide more valuable information than those in gill, liver and fin cells. The frequencies of each NA shape in erythrocytes of all treatments were observed in the following ranked order NT > LB > BN > BL. The results demonstrated the efficacy of AA in reducing genotoxicity in fish induced by Pb. They showed the sensitivity and suitability of MN and NA frequencies in erythrocytes as pollution biomarkers.     

Genotoxicity evaluation of heat shock in gold fish (Carassius auratus)

Genotoxicity evaluation of heat shock was carried out in Carassius auratus. The genotoxicity end points studied were nuclear anomalies (micronucleus assay), chromosomal aberrations, DNA damage (comet assay) and cell proliferation. The heat shock temperatures used were 34 degrees C, 36 degrees C and 38 degrees C. The results demonstrated that heat shock causes the induction of micronucleus at all the three temperature studied. Heat shock also inhibited cell proliferation at 38 degrees C and caused aberrations in the metaphase chromosomes at 34 degrees C and 36 degrees C. Comet assay demonstrated single strand DNA damage at all the three temperatures. The results obtained indicate that heat shock is a genotoxicant.
