Abstract

The present study is aimed at assessing the chronic toxic  effects of arsenic trioxide on liver and intestine of the  zebrafish. For this purpose, histopathological changes in the  liver and intestine tissues of adult zebrafish exposed to  waterborne arsenic trioxide concentrations (50ppb and  500ppb respectively) for9days evaluated. Activation of 8- hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was also assessed  by immunofluorescence assay. We observed severe  histopathological alterations, including cellular  degeneration, vacuolization of hepatocytes, and an increase  in the hepatic plate in the liver. Histopathological changes  in the intestine includes vacuolization of the enterocytes,  hyperplasia of goblet cells, displacement of the lamina  propria, and disruption of the apical cytoplasm of epithelial  cells that cover the intestinal villi were observed. Strong  signs of immunofluorescence reaction for 8-OHdG in the  exposed liver and intestine tissues in a dose-dependent  manner has also been detected. Results of the study indicate  that toxicity of arsenic trioxide lead to crucial  histopathological alteration and induce oxidative DNA  damage in both liver and intestine of zebrafish.
