Tralopyril is an emerging marine antifouling agent with limited data on its effects on fish growth and calcium regulation. To determine the changes induced by long-term exposure to tralopyril, multi-levels (such as molecular, biochemical, and individual levels) responses were measured in turbot at different concentrations (1 mu g/ L, 20 mu g/L). The results showed that 1 mu g/L mainly affected the immune response, while 20 mu g/L affected the synthesis and metabolism of steroids and fat. However, different concentrations of tralopyril affected the syn-thesis, secretion and action of parathyroid hormone and growth hormone. The expression of GH/IGF axis gene and the level of growth hormone increased significantly, leading to abnormal growth. The energy tradeoff be-tween immunity and growth at 1 mu g/L tralopyril pressure may inhibit growth. The change of Ca2+ level was accompanied by the disturbance of PTH-related gene expression. The results of molecular docking showed that the disturbance of Ca2+ regulation might be attributed to the inhibition of vitamin D receptor by tralopyril, which affected the vitamin D signaling pathway. This study provides scientific data for the in-depth under-standing and risk assessment of the toxicological effects of tralopyril and reveals the potential threat of tralopyril to environmental health.

Salmonella is the leading cause of infectious disease outbreaks associated with meat products, residual meat particles on food-contact surfaces can influence the biofilm formation of microorganisms. The transcriptional landscape and expression of novel small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) were investigated during the biofilm formation of S. Enteritidis exposed to meat thawing loss broth (MTLB) in this study. The genes of csgB, adrA and funH were differentially expressed. Notably, a total of nineteen candidate sRNAs predicted to be involved in the regulation of biofilm formation were discovered in S. Enteritidis. Four specific deletion mutants were successfully established, and further investigation indicated that these mutants improved their functions in swimming, swarming, and auto-aggregation, as well as their surface hydrophobicity. Moreover, these novel sRNAs repressed adhesion and biofilm formation of S. Enteritidis on stainless steel and polystyrene surfaces. These findings are beneficial for illustrating the complex regulatory networks of biofilm formation of Salmonella.

Triphenyltin (TPT), a synthetic chemical, is prevalent in complex salinity areas, including estuaries and coastal regions. However, current studies on the toxicological effects of TPT relevant to the environment at different salinities are limited. In the study, biochemical, histological, and transcriptional analyses of TPT and salinity alone, or in combination, was performed on the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) liver. Nile tilapia exhibited weakened antioxidant defenses and liver damage. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that TPT exposure primarily affected lipid metabolism and immunity;salinity exposure alone particularly affected carbohydrate metabolism;combined exposure primarily immune-and metabolic-related signaling pathways. In addition, the single expo-sure to TPT or salinity induced inflammatory responses by up-regulating the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, whereas combined exposure suppressed inflammation by down-regulating pro-inflammatory cyto-kine levels. These findings are beneficial to understand the negative effects of TPT exposure in Nile tilapia in the broad salinity zones and its potential defense mechanisms.

Recently, the toxic effects of tralopyril, as a new antifouling biocide, on aquatic organisms have aroused widespread attention about the potential toxicity. However, the mechanism of tralopyril on marine mollusks has not been elaborated clearly. In this study, the histological, biochemical and molecular impacts of tralopyril on adult Crassostrea gigas were investigated. The results indicated that the 96 h LC50 of tralopyril to adult Crassostrea gigas was 911 mu g/L. After exposure to tralopyril (0, 40, 80 and 160 mu g/L) for 6 days, the mantle mucus secretion coverage ratio of Crassostrea gigas was increased with a dose-dependent pattern. Catalase (CAT) activity was significantly increased, amylase (AMS) activity, acid phosphatase (ACP) activity and calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration significantly decreased. Meanwhile, integrated biomarker responses (IBR) index suggested that higher concentrations of tralopyril caused severer damage to Crassostrea gigas. In addition, the mRNA expression levels of biomineralization related genes in the mantle were significantly upregulated. Collectively, this study firstly revealed the histological, biochemical and molecular impacts of tralopyril exposure on adult Crassostrea gigas, which provided new insights for understanding the toxicity of tralopyril in marine mollusks.

The combined effects of emerging pollutants and ocean acidification (OA) on marine organisms and marine ecosystems have attracted increasing attention. However, the combined effects of tralopyril and OA on marine organisms and marine ecosystems remain unclear. In this study, Crassostrea gigas (C. gigas) were exposed to tralopyril (1 mu g/L) and/or OA (PH = 7.7) for 21 days and a 14-day recovery acclimation. To investigate the stress response and potential molecular mechanisms of C. gigas to OA and tralopyril exposure alone or in combination, as well as the effects of OA and/or tralopyril on bivalve biomineralization and marine carbon cycling. The results showed that the combined toxicity was between that of acidification and tralopyril alone. Single or combined exposure activated the general stress defense responses of C. gigas mantle, affected energy metabolism and biomineralization of the organism and the carbon cycle of the marine ecosystem. Moreover, acidification -induced and tralopyril-induced toxicity showed potential recoverability at molecular and biochemical levels. This study provides a new perspective on the molecular mechanisms of tralopyril toxicity to bivalve shellfish and reveals the potential role of tralopyril and OA on marine carbon cycling.

Triphenyltin (TPT) is an endocrine contaminant that is often detected in the environment. However, the mechanism of the effects of TPT on biological systems is not fully understood. here we exposed marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) to TPT for 21 days. Brain transcriptome, intestinal content metabolism group, and behavior analysis were carried out. Through the comprehensive analysis of multiomics for the in-depth understanding of the ways related to health improvement, we determined that the glycine-serine-threonine metabolic axis was most perturbed by TPT. Through behavioral analysis, it was found that there was behavioral hyperactivity in the exposed group;behavioral hyperactivity may be caused by the interference of TPT with the neuroendocrine system. In order to gain a full understanding of the impacts of TPT on human health, transcriptomic screening of differential genes and an impartial attitude based on bioinformatics were used. Gene-disease interaction analysis using the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) revealed the possible effects of TPT on human health. Finally, based on these findings, the relevant adverse outcome pathway (AOP), which is the "epigenetic modi-fication of PPARG leading to adipogenesis," was identified from AOP Wiki. Further research is required to validate the potential AOP of TPT.

Tralopyril is an emerging marine antifouling agent with potential toxic effects on non-target aquatic organisms. To evaluate the toxicity of tralopyril, to turbot (Scophthalmus maximus), we assessed biomarkers, including oxidative stress, neumtoxicity, and osmotic homeostasis regulation enzymes, after a 7-day exposure to tralopyril (5 mu g/L, 15 mu g/L, 30 mu g/L). Superoxide dismutase activity was significantly decreased at 30 mu g/L, and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase activity in the gills was significantly increased at 15 mu g/L and 30 mu g/L. No statistically significant differences in the responses of acetylcholinesterase and nitric oxide were detected. In addition, 15 mu g/L and 30 mu g/L tralopyril induced hyperthyroidism, reflected by significantly increased of T3 levels. The expression levels of hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis-related genes were also upregulated. The molecular docking results showed that the thyroid system disruption was not caused by competitive binding to the receptor. In addition, the integrated biomarker response index showed that 15 mu g/L tralopyril had the greatest effect on turbot. In general, tralopyril caused oxidative damage, affected energy metabolism, and interfered with the endocrine system. These findings could provide reference data for assessing the ecological risk of tralopyril in marine environments.
