Abstract
With this retrospective study, we investigated the temporal pattern of toxin exposure and pathology, as well as the topical relationship between hepatotoxic injury and localization of microcystin-LR, a potent hepatotoxin, tumor promoter, and inhibitor of protein phosphatases-1 and -2A (PP), in livers of MC-gavaged rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) yearlings, using an immunohistochemical detection method and MC-specific antibodies. H&E stains of liver sections were used to determine pathological changes. Nuclear morphology of hepatocytes and ISEL analysis were employed as endpoints to detect the advent of apoptotic cell death in hepatocytes. Trout had been gavaged with lyophilized cyanobacteria (Microcystis aeruginosa, strain PCC 7806) at acutely toxic doses of 5700 µg microcystin (MC) per kg of body weight (bw), as described previously (Tencalla and Dietrich, 1997). Briefly, 3 control and 3 test animal were killed 1, 3, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after bolus dosing, and livers were fixed and paraffin embedded for histological analysis and later retrospective histochemical analyses. The results of the immunohistochemistry reported here revealed a time dependent, discernible increase in MC-positive staining intensity throughout the liver, clearly not concurring with the kinetics of hepatic PP inhibition observed in the same fish and reported in an earlier publication by Tencalla and Dietrich (1997). After 3 h, marked and increasing MC-immunopositivity was observed in the cytoplasm, as well as the nuclei of hepatocytes. Apoptotic cell death could be detected after 48 h, at the very earliest. These data suggest that accumulation of MC and subsequent changes in cellular morphology, PP inhibition, and hepatocyte necrosis represent the primary events in microcystin induced hepatotoxicity and appear to be associated with the reversible interaction of MC with the PP. In contrast, apoptotic cell death, as demonstrated here, seems to be of only secondary nature and presumably results from the covalent interaction of MC with cellular and nuclear PP as well as other thiol containing cellular proteins.
