Abstract
Some nanoparticles (NPs) may induce adverse health effects in exposed organisms, but to date the evidence for this in wildlife is very limited. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) can be toxic to aquatic organisms, including fish, at concentrations relevant for some environmental exposures. We applied whole mount in-situ hybridisation (WISH) in zebrafish embryos and larvae for a suite of genes involved with detoxifying processes and oxidative stress, including metallothionein (mt2), glutathionine S-transferase pi (gstp), glutathionine S-transferase mu (gstm1), heme oxygenase (hmox1) and ferritin heavy chain 1 (fth1) to identify potential target tissues and effect mechanisms of AgNPs compared with a bulk counterpart and ionic silver (AgNO3). AgNPs caused upregulation in the expression of mt2, gstp and gstm1 and down regulation of expression of both hmox1 and fth1 and there were both life stage and tissue specific responses. Responding tissues included olfactory bulbs, lateral line neuromasts, and ionocytes in the skin with the potential for effects on olfaction, behaviour, and maintenance of ion balance. Silver ions induced similar gene responses and affected the same target tissues as AgNPs. AgNPs invoked levels of target gene responses more similar to silver treatments compared with coated AgNPs indicating the responses seen were due to released silver ions. In the Nrf2 zebrafish mutant, expression of mt2 (24 hpf) and gstp (3 dpf) were either non-detectable or were at lower levels compared with wild type zebrafish for exposures to AgNPs, indicating that these gene responses are controlled through the Nrf2-Keap pathway.
