    Chironomus riparius exposure to field-collected contaminated sediments: From subcellular effect to whole-organism response
    (ELSEVIER, 2019) Arambourou, Hélène; Planello Carro, María del Rosario; Llorente, Lola; Fuertes, Inmaculada; Barata, Carlos; Delorme, Nicolas; Noury, Patrice; Herrero Felipe, Óscar; Villeneuve, Aurélie; Bonnineau, Chloe; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0590-9072; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1716-6889; https://orcid.org/0009-0001-9185-5105; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6341-003X
    The toxicity of three field-collected sediments differentially contaminated with pesticides, heavy metals, phtalates and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), was assessed in Chironomus riparius. For this purpose, C. riparius larvae were exposed throughout their entire life cycle to sediments collected in three sites along the Saulx river in France, and the toxic effects were measured at different levels of biological organization: from the molecular (lipidomic analysis and transcriptional variations) to the whole organism response (respiration rate, shape markers and emergence rate). In the sediment characterized by an intermediate level of contamination with PAHs and phtalates, we detected an increase of the cell stress response and delayed emergence of males. In the group exposed to the most contaminated sediment with PAHs, phtalates and pesticides, genes related to endocrine pathways, cell stress response and biotransformation processes were overexpressed, while female wing shape was affected. Field-collected sediment exposure did not induce significant effects on mentum shape markers or on the lipid profile. The present study provides new insights into the multilevel effects of differentially contaminated sediments in insects. This integrative approach will certainly contribute to improved assessment of the risk that complex mixtures of pollutants pose to the aquatic ecosystem.

    Exposure to heavy metal-contaminated sediments disrupts gene expression, lipid profile, and life history traits in the midge Chironomus riparius
    (ELSEVIER, 2020) Arambourou, Hélène; Llorente Ortega, Lola; Moreno Ocio, Iñigo; Herrero Felipe, Óscar; Barata, Carlos; Fuertes, Inmaculada; Delorme, Nicolas; Méndez Fernández, Leire; Planello Carro, María del Rosario; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0590-9072; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1716-6889; https://orcid.org/0009-0001-9185-5105; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0724-3801
    Despite the concern about anthropogenic heavy metal accumulation, there remain few multi-level ecotoxicological studies to evaluate their effects in fluvial ecosystems. The toxicity of field-collected sediments exhibiting a gradient of heavy metal contamination (Cd, Pb, and Zn) was assessed in Chironomus riparius. For this purpose, larvae were exposed throughout their entire life cycle to these sediments, and toxic effects were measured at different levels of biological organization, from the molecular (lipidomic analysis and transcriptional profile) to the whole organism response (respiration rate, shape markers, and emergence rate). Alterations in the activity of relevant genes, as well as an increase of storage lipids and decrease in membrane fluidity, were detected in larvae exposed to the most contaminated sediments. Moreover, reduced larval and adult mass, decrease of larval respiration rate, and delayed emergence were observed, along with increased mentum and mandible size in larvae and decreased wing loading in adults. This study points out the deleterious effects of heavy metal exposure at various levels of biological organization and provides some clues regarding the mode of toxic action. This integrative approach provides new insights into the multi-level effects on aquatic insects exposed to heavy metal mixtures in field sediments, providing useful tools for ecological risk assessment in freshwater ecosystems.
