Larval exposure to polychlorinated biphenyl 126 (PCB-126) causes persistent alteration of the amphibian gut microbiota.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interactions between gut microbes and anthropogenic pollutants have been under study. The authors investigated the effects of larval exposure to polychlorinated biphenyl 126 (PCB-126) on the gut microbial communities of tadpoles and frogs. Frogs treated with PCBs exhibited increased species richness in the gut and harbored communities significantly enriched in Fusobacteria. These results suggest that anthropogenic pollutants alter gut microbial populations, which may have health and fitness consequences for hosts.

Perinatal Polychlorinated Biphenyl 126 Exposure Alters Offspring Body Composition.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants whose exposure levels are associated with various health hazards. We hypothesized that in utero and lactational exposure to PCBs can cause changes in body composition and obesity in a mouse model. Pregnant mice were exposed biweekly to two concentrations of PCB 126 via oral gavage. Maternal PCB exposure did not result in...
متن کاملInduction of Cytochrome P450-associated Monooxygenases in Northern Leopard Frogs, Rana Pipiens, by 3,39,4,49,5-pentachlorobiphenyl
Northern leopard frogs (Rana pipiens) were injected intraperitoneally either with a solution of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) 126 in corn oil at a concentration of 0.2, 0.7, 2.3, or 7.8 mg/kg body weight or with corn oil alone. Appropriate assay conditions with hepatic microsomes were determined for four cytochrome P450-associated monooxygenases: ethoxyresorufin-Odealkylase (EROD), methoxy-ROD...

Rats were exposed through mother's milk either to the di-ortho-substituted polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congener 2,2',4,4',5,5'-CB (IUPAC no. 153) or to the non-ortho-substituted PCB congener 3,3',4,4',5-CB (IUPAC no. 126). The different groups of mothers were dosed via gavage with corn oil vehicle, 5 mg/kg b.w. of PCB 153 or 2 microg/kg b.w. of PCB 126 every second day from day 3 to 13 after...
متن کاملInflammatory Pathway Genes Belong to Major Targets of Persistent Organic Pollutants in Adipose Cells
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies emphasize the possible role of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in obesity and the metabolic syndrome. These pollutants are stored in adipose tissue (AT). OBJECTIVES Our aim was to study the effects of POPs on human adipose cells and rodent AT. METHODS Using human multipotent adipose-derived stem cells, we carried out large-scale gene expression analys...
متن کاملPolychlorinated biphenyl congeners that increase the glucuronidation and biliary excretion of thyroxine are distinct from the congeners that enhance the serum disappearance of thyroxine.
Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners differentially reduce serum thyroxine (T(4)) in rats, but little is known about their ability to affect biliary excretion of T(4). Thus, male Sprague-Dawley rats were orally administered Aroclor-1254, Aroclor-1242 (32 mg/kg per day), PCB-95, PCB-99, PCB-118 (16 mg/kg per day), PCB-126 (40 μg/kg per day), 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) (3.9 μg...
