The aim of this study was to determine the relative expression of genes (Akt1 substrate 1, Calreticulin, Collagen type I alpha 2 chain, Corticotropin-releasing hormone, Chromodomain-Helicase DNA-binding, Growth hormone, Insulin like growth factor 1, Myostatin, Sine oculis-related homeobox 3, Toll-like receptor 2) in different tissues associated with spinal deformity and to determine the macroelement (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulfur) and microelement (barium, copper, iron, manganese, strontium, zinc) content of spine in healthy and deformed common carps (Cyprinus carpio) in Hungary. The mRNA levels of the genes were measured in 7 different tissues (abdominal fat, blood, brain, dorsal muscle, genitals, heart, liver) by qRT-PCR. Correlations between gene expression and element content were analyzed by using linear regression and Spearman rank correlation. In a total of 15 cases, we found a statistically significant connection between gene expression in a tissue and the macro- or microelement content of the spine. In these contexts, the genes Akt1 substrate 1 (3), Collagen type I alpha 2 chain (2), Corticotropin-releasing hormone (4), Insulin-like growth factor 1 (4), and Myostatin (2), the tissue's blood (3), brain (6), heart (5), and liver (1), the macroelements sodium (4), magnesium (4), phosphorus (1) and sulfur (2) as well as the microelement iron (4) were involved. We also found statistically significant mRNA level differences between healthy and deformed common carps in tissues that were not directly affected by the deformation. Based on our results, genes regulating the nervous system and growth, elements, and tissues are the most associated components in the phenomenon of spinal deformity.

The levels of copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) in fish tissues were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Histopathology and the expressions of TNF-alpha and proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were investigated by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Our data suggest a significant correlation between the bioconcentration level of metals and structural changes. The carnivorous species was the most affected compared to the omnivorous and herbivorous ones, and the most affected organ was the kidney. Moreover, the correlation of tissue damage with the PCNA and TNF-alpha expression levels revealed that the herbivorous species presented less extended lesions, likely due to higher activated repair mechanisms and lower levels of inflammation.

Metals were added to the rearing media of D. pulex, and enriched zooplankton was fed to zebrafish in a feeding trial. The elemental analysis of rearing water, zooplankton, and fish revealed significant difference in the treatments compared to the control. In D. pulex the Mn level increased almost in parallel with the dose of supplementation, as well as the Fe level differed statistically. A negative influence of the supplementation on the fish growth was observed: specific growth rate (SGR%) and weight gain (WG) decreased in Fe and Mn containing treatments. The redundancy analysis (RDA) of concentration data showed strong correlation between the rearing water and D. pulex, as well as the prey organism of Fe- and Mn-enriched D. pulex and the predator organism of D. rerio. The bioconcentration factors (BCF) calculated for water to zooplankton further proved the relationship between the Fe and Mn dosage applied in the treatments and measured in D. pulex. Trophic transfer factor (TTF) results also indicate that significant retention of the metals occurred in D. rerio individuals, however, in a much lower extent than in the water to zooplankton stage. Our study suggests that Fe and Mn significantly accumulate in the lower part of the trophic chain and retention is effective through the digestive track of zebrafish, yet no biomagnification occurs.

Microalgae as subjects of biological remediation methods may provide a cost‐effective and environmentally friendly alternative to the removal of metals during wastewater treatment. Despite the high number of data in the topic, there is still little information on how the type and the concentration of the metal affect the process of removal. In this study, correlations among the algal species, quality and quantity of metals and characteristics of metal removal mechanism were investigated at lower metal concentrations (0.2–5.0 mg L−1) during zinc and copper removal of the green algae Desmodesmus communis and Monoraphidium pusillum. Analyses of the results proved that there is a statistically significant interaction (P < 0.05) between algal species and quality and concentration of the metals, that is, they have a significant effect on the mode and extent of removal. Both metals were mainly extracellularly bound, but at concentrations of 0.2–1.4 mg L−1, intracellular proportion could exceed the extracellular adsorption. Although there were differences between the two algae, generally copper appeared in a higher intracellular proportion than zinc in the whole studied concentration range. Overall, the quality and initial concentration of the metal is decisive for the way of removal, the knowledge of which is useful for planning post treatment retention times or post treatment processes of the used biomass during wastewater treatment.}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1440-1835}, pages = {227-235}, orcid-numbers = {Gonda, Sándor/0000-0001-9776-0249; Bácsi, István/0000-0002-3916-8623} } @article{MTMT:31014152, title = {Environmental-friendly contamination assessment of habitats based on the trace element content of dragonfly exuviae}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31014152}, author = {Simon, Edina and Tóthmérész, Béla and Kis, Olga and Jakab, Tibor and Szalay, Petra Éva and Vincze, András and Baranyai, Edina and Harangi, Sándor and Miskolczi, M. and Dévai, György}, doi = {10.3390/w11112200}, journal-iso = {WATER-SUI}, journal = {WATER}, volume = {11}, unique-id = {31014152}, abstract = {We tested the usefulness of exuviae as an environmentally friendly method for exploring the variability of the trace element contents of protected insect populations without killing specimens.

Metal concentrations were studied in roots, stems and leaves, in order to assess correlations in metal concentrations between those in soil and plants. Furthermore , we calculated bioaccumulation factor (BAF), bioconcentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF) values to study the accumulation of metals from soil to plants and translocation within plants. We found correlation in metal concentrations between soil and plants. The metal accumulation potential was low in both species, indicating low BAF and BCF values.

Our results demonstrated that the potential of C. album and T. inodorum might be limited in phytoextraction processes; however, when accumulated, metals are successfully transported to aboveground plant organs.

Mineral concentration in honey was found to be correlated with geographical and botanical origins, geochemical soil composition and local pollution. Thus, honeys are considered to be excellent indicators of the environmental factors. In this study, 187 samples were collected from all over Hungary, including 11 different types of honey and special bee products. The country was divided into 7 regions based on the NUTS system and the samples were grouped accordingly. The concentration of 4 macro elements (Na, Ca, Mg, K) and 15 micro elements (Al, B, Ba, Bi, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, Zn) were determined by the relatively new MP-AES technique. Experimental data were evaluated by statistical analysis. The results of Canonical Discriminant Analysis (CDA) indicated that considering the geological origin, Central Hungary and Western Transdanubia showed some separation from the other sampling regions as well as the differentiation of five honey types was also observed among the collected species. Higher difference was found between the species than the regions indicating that the botanical aspects have a higher effect compared to the geological ones on the elemental composition of the studied honey samples. From the measured elements potassium was present in the highest concentration and chestnut honeys were observed to have outstanding overall mineral level. It can be further concluded that the MP-AES method is proved to be a suitable and cost-effective alternative for the elemental analysis of prepared honey samples.}, year = {2019}, eissn = {1095-9149} }
