Abstract
Dithiocarbamate (DTC) fungicides are contaminants that are ubiquitous in the environment. Exposure to DTC fungicides has been associated with a variety of teratogenic developmental effects. Propineb, a member of DTCs, was evaluated for the toxicological effects on notochord and craniofacial development, osteogenesis in zebrafish model. Embryos at 6 hours post-fertilization (hpf) were exposed to propineb at dosages of 1 and 4 μM. Morphological parameters were evaluated at exposure times of 24, 48, 72, and 120 hpf after propineb exposure. The survival and hatching rates as well as body length decreased at 1 and 4 μmol/L groups. Besides, transgenic zebrafish exposed to propineb showed abnormal vacuole biogenesis in notochord cells at the early stage of development. The expression of collagen type 2 alpha 1a (col2a1a), sonic hedgehog (shh), and heat shock protein family B member 11 (hspb11) measured by quantitative PCR and in situ hybridization experiment of col8a1a gene have consolidated the proposal process. Besides, Alcian blue, calcein, and alizarin red staining profiles displayed craniofacial malformations and osteoporosis were induced following propineb exposure. PPB exposure induced the changes in oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species inhibitor alleviated the deformities of PPB. Collectively, our data suggested that propineb exposure triggered bone abnormalities in different phenotypes of zebrafish. Therefore, propineb is a potential toxicant of high priority concern for aquatic organisms.
