Bioconcentration of 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) and thyroid endocrine disruption in zebrafish larvae.

Abstract:

:2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) is generally used as a brominated flame retardant but is produced in the degradation of tetrabromobisphenol-A. Although TBP is frequently detected in the environment and in various biota, including fish species, we still know little about its toxicity and environmental health risk. Here we investigated the bioconcentration and effects of TBP on the thyroid endocrine system by using zebrafish as a model. Zebrafish embryos (2 h post-fertilization, hpf) were exposed to five concentrations of TBP (0, 0.3, 1, 10, and 100 μg/L) until 144 hpf. According to our chemical analysis, TBP underwent bioconcentration in zebrafish larvae. However, acute exposure to TBP did not affect the hatching of embryos or their risk of malformation, nor the growth and survival of larvae, indicating low developmental toxicity of TBP. The whole-body thyroxine (T4) contents were significantly increased in zebrafish larvae after exposure to TBP, indicating thyroid endocrine disruption occurred. Gene transcription levels in the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis were also examined in larvae; these results revealed that the transcription of corticotrophin-releasing hormone (crh), thyrotropin-releasing hormone (trh), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (tshβ) were all significantly downregulated by exposure to TBP. Likewise, genes encoding thyronine deiodinases (dio1, dio2, and dio3a/b) and thyroid hormone receptors (trα and trβ) also had their transcription downregulated in zebrafish. Further, the gene transcription and protein expression of binding and transport protein transthyretin (TTR) were significantly increased after TBP exposure. Taken together, our results suggest the bioavailability of and potential thyroid endocrine disruption by TBP in fish.
