Francois Busquet, PhD
Introduction to General
Toxicology
WHAT IS MY
BACKGROUND?
•Toxicologist - 10 years
•Alternative test methods
•Regulatory affairs
•Ecotoxicology
•PhD with Zebrafish egg model
for teratogenicity screening
test (humans) – Private sector
•Post-Doc with Zebrafish egg
model for ecotoxicology
(environment) – Government
WHO I WORK FOR?
1981 2010
WHAT IS TOXICOLOGY
ABOUT?
TESTING PRODUCT SAFETY
PROTECTION FOR
TOXICOLOGY DOGMA
Paracelsus
“Everything is
poisonous,
only the dose
makes the
poison” – XVIth
Century
• How much? e.g. Dose
• How long? e.g. Time
Exposure
• When? e.g. Critical
Window
• Which effects? e.g.
Lethality

WHY EVERYBODY WANT TO
WORK WITH ZEBRAFISH
EGGS?
•Easy maintenance and
mating
•High Fecundity rate =
laying down transparent
eggs all year long
•Embryological devt is fast
(96h) and well described
(Kimmel et al. 1995)
•Low cost model
•Genome sequenced
•GFP
•HTP transposable
•A key model in Germany
Nagel, 2002
•Regulatory RELEVANT
•Academic model

HANDLING & CARE IN THE
LABORATORY
ZEBRAFISH ANATOMY
• Male & Female
• Age / Life Span / Size
ZEBRAFISH
REPRODUCTION
• Approximate generation time: 3-4
months
• Spawning interval: 2-3 days
• Up to 400 eggs per week
• Eggs: non-adherent and fully
transparent
• Rapid embryonic development: 3
days = precursor organs
(ideal 28.5° C, tolerated: 23 – 33° C)
•Water quality (Cl, NO3
2-
)
•Number of fish
•Size of the fish tank
•Food 24/7
•Water renewal
•Physico-chemical
properties
•Cleaning
ZEBRAFISH HUSBANDRY
ZEBRAFISH AQUARIUM
• Male/Female ratio
• Mass spawning vs. spawning unit
• Spawning traps
• Stimulus - plant
• Light onset
• No stones!
• Live Food!

POSSIBLE
FUTURE STEPS FOR
UVA WELLASSA
WITH
ZEBRAFISH EGGS
Short term
• Uva x Colombo = national ZF
network?
• Research topic on medium to
allow fish egg transport by
blocking ZF Egg Devt?
• Student project to develop live
food from the aquaculture Dpt
for ZF?
• ZF unit for student (training)?
• Lectures in Zebrafish egg
Medium term
• ZF – Research Topics
–Heavy metals & water quality?
–Field sampling - pesticides
impact & kidney failure
disorders?
–Indigenous medicines
toxicity?
–Agriculture Dpt? Dvpt of
substitutes for pesticides or
best practices for farmers?

Introduction to alternatives to animal testing in toxicology

Notas del editor

  1. The fish is named for the five uniform, pigmented, horizontal blue stripes on the side of the body, all of which extend to the end of the caudal fin. Its mouth directed upwards. Males are torpedo-shaped and have gold stripes between the blue stripes; females have a larger, whitish belly and have silver stripes instead of gold. Adult females will exhibit a small genital papilla in front of the anal fin origin. The zebrafish can grow to 6.4 centimetres (2.5 in), although it is uncommon for them to grow past 4 cm in captivity. Life-span in captivity is around 2–3 years, although in ideal conditions, may extend to 5 years. The zebrafish is omnivorous. It primarily eats zooplankton, insects, insect larvae, and phytoplankton. It can eat a variety of other foods, such as worms and small crustaceans if its preferred sources are not readily available.5 Most danios accept common food flakes and tubifex worms in the aquarium.

  3. The approximate generation time for the Danio is 3–4 months. A male must be present for ovulation and spawning to occur. Females are able to spawn at intervals of 2–3 days, laying hundreds of eggs in each clutch. Upon release, embryonic development begins; absent sperm, growth stops after the first few cell divisions. Fertilized eggs almost immediately become transparent, a characteristic that makes D. rerio a convenient research model species. Development progresses rapidly. Precursors to all major organs appear within 36 hours of fertilization, and hatching takes place 12-36 hours later, depending on the embryo's internal conditions and the external temperature, ideally . Swimming and feeding behavior begin about 36 hours later. The sex of juveniles cannot be distinguished except by dissection, and sex determinants are not clearly understood.
  4. Chorion= The chorion is one of the membranes that exist during pregnancy between the developing fetus and mother. It is formed by extraembryonic mesoderm and the two layers of trophoblast and surrounds the embryo and other membranes Somites = a division of the body of an animal. In vertebrates this is mainly discernible in the embryostage. In the developing vertebrate embryo, somites are masses of mesoderm distributed along the two sides of the neural tube and that will eventually become dermis (dermatome), skeletal muscle (myotome), and vertebrae (sclerotome).
  5. Notochord = The notochord is a flexible rod-shaped body found in embryos of all chordates. It is composed of cells derived from the mesoderm and defines the primitive axis of the embryo. In some chordates, it persists throughout life as the main axial support of the body, while in most vertebrates it becomes the vertebral body of the vertebral column. The notochord is found ventral to the neural tube.
  6. Spinal Chord = Rückenmark The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that extends from the brain (the medulla oblongata specifically). The brain and spinal cord together make up the central nervous system (CNS).
