No zebrafish development effects were observed after exposure to undiluted or non-concentrated, chlorinated wastewater. Aquat Toxicol 5:143–154. Mixture toxicity prediction based on ss_CRCs (black) with the CA (light blue) and the IA (yellow) model, respectively, for the exposure durations of 24 hpe (c, pink), and 48 hpe (d, purple). For detection of effects induced by controls, six technical replicates were used, whereas three technical replicates were conducted to analyze the effects induced by treatment solutions. We calculated a factor for time dependence (td) of toxicity by calculating the ratio between the LC50 obtained after the longest exposure duration and LC50 obtained after the shortest exposure duration. On average we found that a concentration increase of approximately 15% resulted in double the effect. All these examples refer to situations, where experiments were specifically designed to investigate the impact of low concentrated chemicals and to assess their ability to evoke a combined effect. Next, we investigated a mixture consisting of suspected similarly acting components (mixB). 2c: 24 h (pink), Fig. Aquat Toxicol 12:33–38. https://doi.org/10.1021/es0351591, Verhaar HJM, van Leeuwen CJ, Hermens JLM (1992) Classifying environmental pollutants. a Survival rates throughout 24–120 hpf.b Heart beating rates at 48 hpf.

The fish embryotoxicity test (FET) in zebrafish was used to identify toxicological hotspots along the Atoyac River, Mexico, to determine the presence of chemical substances with teratogenic effects for a possible monitoring program. Aquat Toxicol 63:43–63. The zebrafish embryo offers an inexpensive system that combines many features that are desirable for the development of new approaches to drug development (Bowman and Zon, 2010).As a vertebrate, the zebrafish shares a high degree of conservation with mammalian systems: the genomes of zebrafish and humans are highly … For mixture toxicity testing, a 1000-fold concentrated mixture stock solution was prepared in methanol by mixing high concentrated single substance stock solutions in specific mixture ratios (MRs). Sci Total Environ 619–620:1482–1492. While it remains to proofed whether or not mixture components can cause toxicity independently in complex model organisms, our results demonstrate, that the CA model was extremely robust and adequately estimated the toxicity of a large variety of mixtures and exposure scenarios within described margins of errors. A smaller AIC indicates a better fit. Thus, toxicity determination of single substances as well as of mixtures was performed until an appropriately resolved concentration–response curve (CRC) was obtained. Furthermore, we show that the detection of this phenomenon is not dependent on the examined exposure scenario and considered phenotype. https://doi.org/10.1002/aja.1002030302, Escher BI, Eggen RIL, Schreiber U et al (2002) Baseline toxicity (Narcosis) of organic chemicals determined by in vitro membrane potential measurements in energy-transducing membranes. Predictions appeared to be slightly more robust when the totality of effects were inspected (lethal, sublethal, and teratogenic) but the inspected effect type seems to be less relevant concerning the performance of both models, in general. The values are expressed as the mean ± SE.

This ‘something from “nothing”’ phenomenon could be shown for similarly acting components inducing narcosis [22, 24, 36] as well as for independently acting substances [13] and a blend of both [14].

We find zebrafish development to be a viable in vivo alternative or confirmatory assay to mammalian in vitro cell assays. Our logarithmic and geometric concentration series both showed concentration-dependent mortality. Figure 4 illustrates the distributions of the log2 of these PDRs with regard to certain analysis parameters. In this case, the ss_CRC obtained after a certain exposure period (here: 48 hpe) were further applied to design a mixture in which all components were present in equally effective fractions (here: individual LC10) when exposed to the highest mixture concentration and respective exposure period. This means that the toxicity doubles during the course of longer exposure periods when ZFE are exposed in an advanced developmental stage. All integrated mixture experiments were analyzed by applying the previously described workflow. Chemosphere 164:164–173.

As only underestimation of mixture toxicity occured, a mixture toxicity value was determined as being located within the prediction window when the PDR calculated with the CA model (CA is predicts the highest toxicity values in all cases) didn't exceed 1.1 (PDR_CA<1.1, deviation of 10% allowed). The results are exemplarily shown for a rather simple (mixC.1) and more complex mixture (mixE.1) in Fig. Additionally, abnormal hatching behavior was detected by determining hatching rates. Finally, we compared the observed with the predicted mixture toxicity. It has been reported that combined toxic effects were even observable when chemicals were applied in concentrations below their individual effect thresholds. In this study, we demonstrate that ‘something from “nothing”’-effects could be detected although the mixtures were not designed to show this on purpose.

Finally, we studied the induction of combined toxic effects in ZFE after exposure to mixtures in which the components were present in concentrations that failed to evoke individual toxicity. The potential interaction of low concentrated chemicals and their ability to evoke combined toxic effects has been intensely discussed to be a plausible explanation.

CRC Press, Boca Raton, Heinonen S-M, Hoikkala A, Wähälä K, Adlercreutz H (2003) Metabolism of the soy isoflavones daidzein, genistein and glycitein in human subjects. Chemicals with a time dependent toxicity have a varying impact on the toxicity of a respective mixture over time, when the mixture ratio is kept constant. One mixture contained only similarly acting substances (mixB), hence mixture toxicity expected to be predictable with the CA model, and another mixture contained only suspected dissimilarly acting constituents (mixC), hence the IA model was assumed to best predict mixture toxicity. This phenomenon is considered as the principle ‘something from “nothing”’ (Fig. 4c (all data) and Fig. https://doi.org/10.4236/jbpc.2012.34041, Zhou S (2018) Cytochrome P450 2D6, 1st edn. In the environment, chemicals occur in multitudes of low concentrated mixtures rather than as individual entities. Distributions of prediction deviation ratios for mixture toxicity determined with the ZFE. Overall, the highest model accuracy in terms of smallest PDRs were found with the CA model for high effect concentrations (mean_log2PDRCA_EC90 = − 0.15) and the 72 h exposure period (mean_log2PDRCA_72hpe = − 0.09). In cases where the observed mixture toxicity was underestimated by both models, the deviations were not larger than one order of magnitude, respectively. The authors declare that they have no competing interests. c further refers to the LC50 or EC50 value, b to the slope of the tangent at the inflection point and x to the related concentration. In case an organism is lacking a functional photosystem, diuron is expected to not target a specific site and, therefore, is not acting via its specific mode of action (MoA) in zebrafish. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aquatox.2004.04.002. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-013-1978-1, Arrhenius Å, Grönvall F, Scholze M et al (2004) Predictability of the mixture toxicity of 12 similarly acting congeneric inhibitors of photosystem II in marine periphyton and epipsammon communities. However, the observed mix_CRC approximates towards the IA curve at low effect concentrations, whereas the CA model results to better reflect the mix_CRC at higher effect concentrations. Overall, we compared 177 toxicity values (28 lethal, 31 total, 3 mixture potencies) obtained from measured mixture toxicity testing to their counterparts that were predicted with the CA and IA model. We found that the experimentally determined mixture toxicity was not fully reflected by the IA prediction but fell in the concentration-effect space that is spanned between both models. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0146021, Grimme LH, Altenburger R, Backhaus T, Boedeker W, Faust M, Scholze M (1998) Vorhersagbarkeit und Beurteilung von Mischungen, Hermens J, Canton H, Janssen P, De Jong R (1984) Quantitative structure-activity relationships and toxicity studies of mixtures of chemicals with anaesthetic potency: acute lethal and sublethal toxicity to Daphnia magna. For instance, the toxic units of the chemicals in the mixtures change during the exposure duration and the impact of independently and similarly acting components in a mixture may vary over time (Additional file 2: Figure S22). https://doi.org/10.1002/etc.5620190926, Deneer JW, Sinnige TL, Seinen W, Hermens JLM (1988) The joint acute toxicity to Daphnia magna of industrial organic chemicals at low concentrations. For the single substance exposures, we observed four possible cases of time dependent toxicity: (1) no time dependence at all (9/25 cases, e.g., diuron), (2) similar time dependence for early and late exposures (3/12, e.g., bisphenol A), (3) time dependence is larger in early exposures (3/12 cases, e.g., diclofenac), and (4) time dependence is larger in late exposures (6/12 cases, e.g., genistein). This Test Guideline (TG) 236 describes a Fish Embryo Acute Toxicity (FET) test with the zebrafish (Danio rerio). The method uses zebrafish embryos and determines the concentration at which 50% of the embryos do not survive (i.e. On a single model basis, the IA model achieved highest prediction accuracy when low mixture effects were estimated (mean_log2PDRIA_EC10 = 0.941, mean_log2PDRIA_EC50 = 1.057, mean_log2PDRIA_EC90 = 1.178). Ecotoxicol Environ Saf 59:309–315. Sci Total Environ 134:931–939. According to the mathematical formalizations of these two concepts, the CA concept implies that every toxicant in any concentration contributes, in proportion to its toxic unit, to the overall combined effect of a mixture [9, 10]. In this study, we also detected a combined effect for all tested mixtures and were interested which concentrations of individual mixture components were necessary to evoke a significant mixture effect of 90% regarding either lethal but also sublethal and teratogenic endpoints (EC90). Figure 3 depicts the log2 of the prediction deviation ratio (PDR) of observed to predicted effect concentrations that induce 50% of an effect in ZFE. Gigascience. In this study we found that all mixtures induce steep CRCs. First, the toxicity of single components was determined by exposing ZFE at a certain age (here: 0 hpf) to the respective chemical (Fig. The considered phenotype did not seem to influence the prediction quality significantly. The EC90 of a mixture was selected, because this value still implies a remarkable joint effect but also guarantees statistical robustness.

The highest prediction accuracies with CA were achieved for higher effect concentrations and long exposure durations (e.g., mean_log2PDRCA_72hpe_EC50 = − 0.09). Oxidants also transform organic material and form disinfection by-products (DBPs), many of which are halogenated and cyto- and genotoxic. https://doi.org/10.1016/0045-6535(92)90280-5, Schüttler A, Altenburger R, Ammar M et al (2019) Map and model—moving from observation to prediction in toxicogenomics. https://doi.org/10.1016/J.YRTPH.2016.05.020, Kortenkamp A, Faust M (2018) Regulate to reduce chemical mixture risk. For instance, the liver, which is important to metabolize exogenous chemicals, starts budding in ZFE at the age of 24 hpf. Dev Dyn 203:253–310. Two exceptions were mixB.1 and mixC.1 which were directly exposed after hatching and only for 48 h. On average we found that an early exposure start resulted in less time dependence in toxicity compared to exposures that started at later stages, i.e., with older ZFE (td_mean_early = 0.72, td_mean_late = 0.55). On average we found that a concentration increase of approximately 15% resulted in twice the effect in the zebrafish embryo toxicity test (see Table 5) based on the LC/EC50. An overview of time dependent mortality for all analyzed single substances and mixtures in this study is given in Table 4.

OECD, Ritz C, Baty F, Streibig JC, Gerhard D (2015) Dose-response analysis using R. PLoS ONE 10:e0146021. Hence, the CA model, potentially applied with a safety factor, should provide a solid tool to predict mixture toxicity for environmental exposure scenarios, water quality and risk assessment. It ends with the connection of liver bud and intestine at 50 hpf. For mixture toxicity analysis, we further derived three effect levels (LC/EC10,50,90) from mixture CRCs. The precise prediction quality of the CA and IA model is, however, dependent on specific experimental factors and should be considered when investigating mixture modes of action, potential interactions of the mixture constituent’s pathways, and for detailed quantifications of combined effects [51]. 3) using the drc package, R (version 3.4.4) [34]: where y refers to the level of lethal or total effects, a to the minimum effect (0) and y0 to the maximum effect (1).

Surveying the entirety of results revealed that for a remarkable number of 90% (53 out of 59 cases) a combined effect of 90% is caused by a mixture constituted of very low concentrated chemicals (Additional file 2: Figure S11–21). The parameter of all concentration–response curves are summarized in Additional file 2: Tables S2–5. Therefore, we looked at the toxicity values obtained after four exposure durations (24, 48, 72, 96 h), two effect types (lethal and total) that represent different phenotypes and three effect levels (ECx, x = 10, 50, 90) that represent different mixture potencies. Although acute toxicity disappears more and more off the monitor of concern, the environmental status of European surface waters is still in very poor condition [55]. In this study, the distance of two predicted ECx values (x= 10, 50, 90) ranged from 1.4 to 5.5 with an average distance of 2.7, hence CA and IA were sufficiently different. The present study was designed to use zebrafish as a model to investigate the potential toxicity of dextromethorphan during embryonic and larval development. The CYP1A1 and A2 enzymes play a crucial role in biotransformation of a diversity of chemicals and were shown to biotransform diuron to 3,4-dichloronaniline (3,4-DCA) [45] and genistein to dihydrogenistein and 2′,4′,6′,4″-tetrahydroxy-α-methyl-deoxybenzoin [46]. In Gammarus pulex [40], mixture toxicity was underestimated by both models, whereas the combined effect of either similarly or dissimilarly acting components was proven to be predictable by the appropriate model in freshwater algae Scenedesmus vacuolatus (CA: [19, 20, 41], IA: [13]), luminescent bacteria Vibrio fischeri (CA: [21], IA: [12]) and Daphnia magna (CA: [22, 41]).

Investigations: GJ and JK. Traditionally, most DBP research focuses on the threat to human health, but the effects on aquatic species exposed to DBPs in wastewater effluents remain ill defined. The combined effect of similarly acting components was predictable by CA in guppy [24] and fathead minnow [25]. Asynchrony arises at the earliest stages, and it becomes more pro- nounced as time passes. Developmental Toxicity of E804 in Zebrafish Embryos To investigate the developmental toxicity of E804 on zebrafish embryos, the mortality rates, malformation rate, and morphological abnormalities were recorded at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hpf (n = 3 replicates, 90 embryos per replicate).

The PDR distributions respecting the three effect levels (EC10: light blue, EC50: yellow, EC90: pink) are depicted in Fig. ISO water was aerated with oxygen 1 day prior to the experiment, a minimum oxygen saturation of 80% was verified using WTW Oxi 340 Oximeter and a pH of 7.4 ± 0.1 adjusted with HCl/NOH and WTW SenTix Mic. However, comparing both models, the CA model was still closer to the observations than the IA predictions. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. Mono-halogenated DBPs followed the in vivo toxicity rank order: acetamides > acetic acids > acetonitriles ~ nitrosamines, which agrees well with previously published mammalian in vitro data. 236: Fish Embryo Acute Toxicity (FET) Test. The slope distributions of ss_CRCs and mix_CRCs obtained for lethal and total effects and the four different exposure periods (24, 48, 72, and 96 h) are shown in Fig. Also, the slopes of ss_CRCs were relatively steep but showed broader distributions. In a next step we compared the PDR distributions for lethal and total effects, as well as for different exposure durations based on EC50 values (Fig. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0147-6513(03)00141-6, Wessels JSC, van der Veen R (1956) The action of some derivatives of phenylurethan and of 3-phenyl-1,1-dimethylurea on the Hill reaction. The CA model correctly estimated the toxicity in 100% of analyzed mixtures when allowing a prediction deviation ratio of 2.5. To determine the prediction accuracy, we compared the observed toxicity to the prediction by calculating the prediction deviation ratio (PDR, Eq. California Privacy Statement, Other studies in fish revealed similar findings. The figure shows the relative distance of measured mixture toxicity to the prediction that is based on the CA (lightblue) and IA (yellow) model for lethal (left, LC50) and total (lethal + sublethal + teratogenic) effects (right, EC50). 6 indicate that a significant mixture effect was induced even though individual chemicals were applied in concentrations below their individual effect thresholds (EC20, see “Methods” section). where ECx,mix is the total concentration of the mixture provoking x% effect; ECxi is the concentration of ith component provoking the x% effect, when applied individually, and pi denotes the fraction of component i in the mixture. where E(CSi) are the effects of the single substances, n the number of individual components, and E(Cmix) is the total effect of the joint mixture [11, 35].

Aquat Toxicol 56:13–32. It seems that independent MoAs of mixture components converge with increasing effective concentrations and longer exposure durations into joint unspecific pathways of disturbance in a complex organism. A more controversial picture exists regarding the predictability of dissimilarly acting components with IA as effects were either not detectable against expectations [38] or were detected although multiple mixture components were suspected to act similarly by inducing narcosis [39]. Data fitting/modelling: GJ and AS. The zebrafish embryo toxicity test is based on a 48 hours exposure of newly fertilized eggs in a static or semi- static system. For instance, the phytoestrogen genistein, another suspected specifically and dissimilarly acting mixture component, has been shown to interact with estrogen receptors resulting in endocrine disruption. Specific exposure durations and starting points (0 hpf or 24 hpf) were selected to determine the toxicity of the mixtures. Incubation was conducted at 26 °C with a 12:12 h light:dark photoperiod and vials shaken at 75 rpm using a horizontal agitator (Edmund Bühler GmbH, SM–30 control).
