摘要
QNZ is a quinazoline-type NF-κB inhibitor and is one of the hot anti-inflammatory drug candidates in recent years. With its development and application, QNZ will inevitably enter the aquatic environment posing a threat to aquatic organisms. To investigate the potential toxicity of QNZ in the early life stages of the organism, this study exposed embryos of large-scale loach (Paramisgurnus dabryanus) to 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 nM of QNZ. The hatching of embryos was significantly inhibited and hatching time was delayed. We explored the mechanism of hatching delay and failure. The results suggested that QNZ exposure reduced the number of hatching gland cells (HGCs) and hatching enzyme activity. Also, the frequency of spontaneous movements was inhibited by interfering with the expression of genes related to the cholinergic system and skeletal muscle development. Further, QNZ exposure induces a series of morphological changes (spine deformation, pericardial edema, tail deformation, and yolk sac edema) in embryos and newly-hatched larvae, and finally increased the deformity rate and mortality rate of newly-hatched larvae. The information presented in this study will provide a scientific basis for further studies into the potential toxicity of QNZ on aquatic organisms.
