Atrazine exposure elicits copy number alterations in the zebrafish genome

Abstract: Atrazine is an agricultural herbicide used throughout the Midwestern United States that frequently contaminates potable water supplies resulting in human exposure. Using the zebrafish model system, an embryonic atrazine exposure was previously reported to decrease spawning rates with an increase in progesterone and ovarian follicular atresia in adult females. In addition, alterations in genes associated with distinct molecular pathways of the endocrine system were observed in brain and gonad tissue of the adul… Show more

“…Atrazine has been proven to be an endocrine disruptor in many species (Freeman et al, 2011;Rohr and McCoy, 2010). However, numerous studies of effects of atrazine on the reproductive, nervous and immune systems on humans and animals have produced contradicting results with lack of consistency (Rohr and McCoy, 2010;Solomon et al, 2008;Wirbisky and Freeman, 2017). Atrazine has been observed to cause gene alterations that lead to endocrine disruption in zebrafish, inhibition of ovary growth in crabs, altering sex ratios in crayfish and frogs as well as demusculinising male gonads in fish, amphibians, reptiles and mammals (Hayes et al, 2011;Loughlin et al, 2016;Silveyra et al, 2017;Wirbisky and Freeman, 2017).…”

“…A crystal violet cell confluency assay was completed following similar parameters as previously described. , Briefly, cells were harvested from cell culture flasks and cell concentration determined using a Z1 Coulter particle counter (Beckman Coulter). A 96-well plate was seeded with 14,000 cells per well.…”

“…Features of array images were extracted using Agilent Feature Extraction version 11.5 (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). Microarray analysis was completed following MIAME guidelines using the aberration detection method 2 (ADM2) algorithm in Agilent Genomic Workbench 7.0 (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) similar to as described in Wirbisky and Freeman . Calls were then converted to reflect genomic locations in the latest zebrafish genome build (GRCz11/danRer11) using the UCSC Genome Browser converter tool.…”

“…In nature, research on rats shows problems in the morphology of the male genital system due to contact with atrazine, such as increased estrogen and decreased progesterone levels (Victor-Costa et al, 2010). In addition, several problems have been described in other animals, such as lobsters (Mac Loughlin et al, 2016), fish (Wirbisky & Freeman, 2017), and amphibians (Gonçalves et al, 2017).…”
