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).

For mixture toxicity prediction, the CRC of single substances (ss_CRC) were additionally modeled using a “best-fit” approach.

Environ Sci Technol 38:3659–3666. 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.

Environ Toxicol Chem 35:1887–1899. In a developing system such as the ZFE, the time point of exposure, i.e., the age of the embryo at exposure start, is an additional determining factor for toxicity. Initially, we investigated the predictability of the toxicity of two specifically designed mixtures. https://doi.org/10.1002/etc.5620190927, Kimmel CB, Ballard WW, Kimmel SR et al (1995) Stages of embryonic development of the zebrafish. 2g and h and 3, where IA seemed to better predict low levels of mixture effects. https://doi.org/10.1021/es015844c, Klüver N, Vogs C, Altenburger R et al (2016) Development of a general baseline toxicity QSAR model for the fish embryo acute toxicity test. It ends with the connection of liver bud and intestine at 50 hpf. Nano-HA aggregated into the biggest particles around the membrane protein and then caused a little toxicity to development of zebrafish embryos. Subsequently, the growth period begins and the liver undergoes remarkable changes in size and shape [52, 53]. At this, the solvent content did not exceed a maximum content of 0.1% solvent/ISO-water (V:V) in all tested concentrations. 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. Chemosphere 152:503–512. The workflow of mixture toxicity prediction and observation was similar for all investigated mixtures. 4g and h.

For a reliable comparison of predicted and measured mixture toxicity, a valid and free-of-bias determination of toxicity values is necessary. 114:313–326, Kortenkamp A, Faust M, Scholze M, Backhaus T (2007) Low-level exposure to multiple chemicals: reason for human health concerns? The FET-test is based on studies and validation activities performed on zebrafish Combining these findings with the chemical status quo of water bodies, at which water samples have been described to consist of 400-500 chemicals at low concentrations [3], is leading to the request of finally integrating mixture toxicity assessment into water quality assessment. Writing: GJ and WB. We further calculated LC/ECx (x = 10, 50, 90) values from each mixture CRC. These toxicity values were further compared to their counterparts predicted with CA and IA by calculating the prediction deviation ratio (PDR). Furthermore, we show that the detection of this phenomenon is not dependent on the examined exposure scenario and considered phenotype. Due to time dependence of single substance toxicity, the impact of a certain chemical to a combined effect may vary over time. The mix_CRCs also occurred to be steep (LC75/LC50 (24 hpe) = 1.10, LC75/LC50 (48 hpe) = 1.15, Additional file 2: Table S8). https://doi.org/10.1897/05-370R.1, Shao Y, Chen Z, Hollert H et al (2019) Toxicity of 10 organic micropollutants and their mixture: implications for aquatic risk assessment. For three exposure scenarios no lethal effects could be observed for the tested concentrations (0–24_mixE.2, 24–48_mixE.2, and 24–48 h_mixF). To analyze whether and to which extent the predictability of mixture effects in the ZFE is dependent on experimental and analysis variables, such as exposure duration, considered phenotype, and mixture potency, we compared PDRs for these measures. We also investigated whether the developmental stage (0 or 24 h post fertilization (hpf)) at which the ZFE were exposed to the mixtures influenced the predictability of mixture toxicity. Additionally, high effect values seem even more likely to be underestimated by the applied prediction models. Data curation: GJ and JK. The authors declare that they have no competing interests. This method can be used to identify concentrations of chemicals that cause acute toxicity in fish in aquatic environments. Aquat Toxicol 68:351–367. We observed that lower effect concentrations seem to be better predictable with the IA concept, whereas the CA model seems to better estimate the toxicity of higher effect concentrations. The grey bars depict the EC90 induced by the specific mixture concentration obtained after 24, 48, 72, and 96 hpe, respectively. Also, the slopes of ss_CRCs were relatively steep but showed broader distributions.

Walker and G. Streisinger, in Westerfield, 1994) and incubated at an optimal temperature with- out crowding (28.S0C, 5-10 embryos/ml). Manage cookies/Do not sell my data we use in the preference centre. 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]. We found experimentally determined mixture toxicity within the prediction window, the concentration-effect space that is spanned between CA and IA predictions, in 51 of 59 cases. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoenv.2008.07.017, Cleuvers M (2004) Mixture toxicity of the anti-inflammatory drugs diclofenac, ibuprofen, naproxen, and acetylsalicylic acid. Experimental workflow of mixture analysis, exemplarily shown for mixC.1. 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. ZFE were exposed at an early (0 hpf) and a later time point (24 hpf) and effects were determined every 24 h during development. All authors read and approved the final manuscript. Ecotoxicol Environ Saf 72:441–449. https://www.epa.gov/report-environment/chemicals-used-land, Schwarzenbach RP (2006) The challenge of micropollutants in aquatic systems. 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]. J Biophys Chem 03:334–340. To minimize the influence of experimental errors and batch effects, we analyzed three technical replicates per tested concentration and further performed multiple independent experiments starting at different days (minimum two, maximum five). It seems that in a complex organism, such as the ZFE, combined toxicity of similarly acting components is predictable with CA, whereas IA cannot reliably estimate the toxicity of a mixture consisting of dissimilarly acting components. All investigated mixtures induced steep concentration-response curves and increased toxicity over time. The Fish Embryo Acute Toxicity (FET) test with the zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo, the OECD test guideline (TG) 236, has been designed as an alternative for acute fish toxicity testing such as the OECD Acute Fish Toxicity Test (TG 203). These are just examples for the induction of the biotransformation system and the list of metabolites could easily be extended. To investigate the generality of the obtained results, we extended the mixture toxicity analysis to results obtained after exposure of ZFE to nine different mixtures (Table 2). For instance, the liver, which is important to metabolize exogenous chemicals, starts budding in ZFE at the age of 24 hpf. Project administration: WB. However, comparing both models, the CA model was still closer to the observations than the IA predictions. All integrated mixture experiments were analyzed by applying the previously described workflow. First, the toxicity of single components was determined by exposing ZFE at a certain age (here: 0 hpf) to the respective chemical (Fig. J Genet Genomics 36:325–334. We present the developmental toxicity for 15 DBPs and a chlorinated wastewater to a model aquatic vertebrate, zebrafish. In such cases, the predicted CRCs of both models span a concentration-effect space, the prediction window. 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). Hence a concentration increase of less than 20% results in double the effect. For this reason and because the EC50 values were the most robust ones for prediction, we specified further mixture analysis on the EC50 values for lethal and total effects. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsbmb.2003.09.003, Zhou S-F, Zhou Z-W, Yang L-P, Cai J-P (2009) Substrates, Inducers, Inhibitors and Structure-Activity Relationships of Human Cytochrome P450 2C9 and Implications in Drug Development. 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. 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). A detailed list of all data is presented in Addtional file 2: Tables S8–11. For instance, the herbicide diuron, as part of the five component mixture with potentially dissimilarly acting substances, interferes with the photosystem II of plants and photosynthetic microorganisms [42]. It seems that a certain threshold concentration is needed to induce an adverse effect in a complex organism such as the ZFE. https://doi.org/10.1016/0045-6535(92)90285-Y, Article  The toxicities of the test chemicals to zebrafish embryos were compared with their acute toxicities to adult fish. Science 361:224–226, Escher BI, Stapleton HM, Schymanski EL (2020) Tracking complex mixtures of chemicals in our changing environment. Toxicity in the ZFE is not only influenced by biotransformation processes but also by compound uptake kinetics and the developmental stage of the embryo. The slopes of all analyzed mixtures were steep with a trend towards steeper CRC for longer exposure durations. https://doi.org/10.1002/etc.3460, Calamari D, Vighi M (1992) A proposal to define quality objectives for aquatic life for mixtures of chemical substances. The convergence of metabolic, stress response, and/or individual signaling pathways at a certain point and/or the additive burden within such pathways due to the existence of different chemicals at the same time might explain these observations. Distributions contain data for all obtained CRCs (total and lethal effects) for single substance effects (pink) and mixture toxicity (purple), respectively. 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]. https://doi.org/10.1021/es0351591, Verhaar HJM, van Leeuwen CJ, Hermens JLM (1992) Classifying environmental pollutants. One possible explanation could be that both, lethal and total effects, are integrated effects, but the quantity of integrated endpoints and consequently the robustness of results increases when all recorded endpoints are merged and analyzed together. We estimated the toxicity of all mixtures with two models, the concept of Concentration Addition (CA) and Independent Action (IA). Aquat Toxicol 56:13–32. 4) and Weibull model (Table 3, Eq.

One potential explanation could be derived from the absence of specific target sites in the investigated organism. On average we found that a concentration increase of approximately 15% resulted in double the effect. In contrast, toxicity of mixC was not reflected by IA as expected (0 out of 8 cases) but was always located within the prediction window. For example, a mixture that induces an effect in 10% of examined organisms is less potent than a mixture that induces effects in 90% of the organisms. We compared the experimentally determined mixture effect concentrations with their predicted counterparts for all tested mixtures. Next, we investigated a mixture consisting of suspected similarly acting components (mixB). Oxidants also transform organic material and form disinfection by-products (DBPs), many of which are halogenated and cyto- and genotoxic.

In gene expression studies with ZFE, diclofenac was found to induce cyp2k19 and cyp2c9 [32, 48]. Here, the mixture toxicity showed no significant variation upon different exposure durations (LC50_24hpe = 21 µM, LC50_48hpe = 18 µM, Additional file 2: Table S8). Specific exposure durations and starting points (0 hpf or 24 hpf) were selected to determine the toxicity of the mixtures. 2a). The MR describes the proportion of one component that is present in a mixture relative to the total molarity of this mixture. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aquatox.2004.04.002. Right panel: total (lethal + sublethal + teratogenic) effects. 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. Subsequently, ZFE were exposed to the designed mixture, lethal effects recorded, and mixture toxicity observed (Fig. The measured mixture toxicity was reflected by CA in 6 out of 8 analyzed exposure scenarios for mixB, i.e., the obtained results met our hypothesis. Again, ZFE in two different developmental stages were exposed (from 0 hpf: mixB.1 and 24 hpf: mixB.2, Table 2) to two similar mixtures with adopted MRs.

A functional liver is required for the biotransformation of many chemicals which can lead to either inactivation or detoxification, or bioactivation due to the production of toxic metabolites [54].

The developmental stage of the embryo determines the presence and function of molecular target sites, tissues, and organs. In contrast, the IA model implies that only mixture constituents that are present in concentrations higher than their individual effect threshold (i.e., lowest observed effect concentrations) are able to contribute to the combined effect of a mixture [10, 11]. Overall, the CA model predictions maximally deviated from measurements by a factor of 2.5 (1.32 < log2PDR < 0.41). For instance, metabolites could intercalate into the membrane, thus inducing unspecific narcotic effects.

Every 24 hrs. 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). Conceptualization: GJ, RA, and WB. However, exceptions derived from mixtures consisting of only a small number of chemicals (e.g., mixA containing only three chemicals) or short exposure periods, whereas the overall significance of the phenomenon ‘something from “nothing”’ increased the more substances a mixture contained and the longer the ZFE were exposed to the mixture. 1c). This conclusion is based on the investigation of 9 different mixtures and 31 different exposure scenarios and their toxicities in zebrafish embryos. 6. Figure 2b shows the CRC for single substances (ss_CRC) obtained after 24 h of exposure (hpe; solid, black line and pink symbols) and 48 hpe (dashed, grey line and purple symbols). After a defined exposure period (here: 24 h and 48 h), specific endpoints (here: lethal effects) were observed and respective CRCs modeled. Dev Dyn 203:253–310. Fish Embryo Acute Toxicity (FET) Test INTRODUCTION 1. 4d (differentiated with respect to the applied models (left: CA, right: IA)). https://doi.org/10.1289/ehp.6322, Perepechaeva ML, Grishanova YA (2012) In vivo effects of genistein, herbimycin a and geldanamycin on rat hepatic cytochrome P4501A. 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). This approach allowed us to investigate the impact of mixture potency, exposure duration, and phenotype to mixture toxicity prediction quality of the models. a Survival rates throughout 24–120 hpf.b Heart beating rates at 48 hpf. 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]. Regarding curve steepness and time dependence of toxicity, mixB showed a similar trend as previously described for mixC. 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. We classified a CRC as steep when the slope (calculated as quotient of EC75/EC50) was < 2 as an EC75/EC50 ratio of 2 means that doubling the EC50 concentration leads to a double fractional effect, which is what one would expect under the law of mass action. The potential interaction of low concentrated chemicals and their ability to evoke combined toxic effects has been intensely discussed to be a plausible explanation. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2016.03.006, Vighi M, Altenburger R, Arrhenius Å et al (2003) Water quality objectives for mixtures of toxic chemicals: problems and perspectives. Data fitting/modelling: GJ and AS. We analyzed whether certain experimental and analysis parameters, such as the mixture design, exposure duration, phenotype, and mixture potency influence the predictability of mixture toxicity. Additionally, exposure solutions of the negative controls as well as those with the highest test concentration were examined for pH level and oxygen content at the first and last day of exposure. Again, the PDRs for CA were smaller than for IA for both types of effect (Fig. Both mix_CRCs are steep and quotients of LC75 to LC50 obtained after 24 and 48 h of exposure are relatively small (LC75/LC50 (24 hpe) = 1.17, LC75/LC50 (48 hpe) = 1.18, Additional file 2: Table S8). In 8 out of 59 cases (14%), mixtures were even more toxic than predicted. 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. This test is designed to determine acute toxicity of chemicals on embryonic stages of fish. 4e, f, h). Furthermore, θ1 describes the location and θ2 the steepness of the curve. The mix_CRCs are again located within the prediction window but observations were much closer to the CA prediction. 2e). I. liver morphogenesis.

Developmental toxicity of SCDE in zebrafish embryos. Gigascience. We find zebrafish development to be a viable in vivo alternative or confirmatory assay to mammalian in vitro cell assays. Thus, toxicity determination of single substances as well as of mixtures was performed until an appropriately resolved concentration–response curve (CRC) was obtained. Aquat Toxicol 12:33–38. Di- and tri-halogenated acetonitriles were more toxic than their mono-halogenated analogues, and bromine- and iodine-substituted DBPs tended to be more toxic than chlorinated analogues. In conclusion, while the prediction window serves as a reliable tool to describe the concentration-effect space in which the toxicity of a mixture is to be expected, the CA model serves as robust and reliable tool to predict mixture toxicity, even for heterogeneous mixtures and a variety of exposure scenarios, and should, therefore, be considered for water quality and environmental risk assessment. The EC90 of a mixture was selected, because this value still implies a remarkable joint effect but also guarantees statistical robustness. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aquatox.2005.10.001, Altenburger R, Backhaus T, Boedeker W et al (2000) Predictability of the toxicity of multiple chemical mixtures to Vibrio fischeri: mixtures composed of similarly acting chemicals. : //CRAN.R-project.org/package=bbmle ) study we found that all mixtures induce steep CRCs how drugs...
