nuclear fuel cycle, military, industrial & agricultural applications Uranium Contamination of aquatic ecosystems Background [U] surface water : ~ ng/L to 6 µg/L Vicinity of former uranium mines : ~ tens – 100 µg/L U drinking water guideline : 15 µg/L WHO Environmental Quality Standards range from 1 µg/L to 100 µg/L C. Adam, IRPA13, Glasgow, May 16th, 2012 2/14
Biological endpoints Ecological relevance Ecosystem • Genotoxicity • DNA is the 1st cellular target for radionuclides • DNA damages in : • somatic cells : carcinogenesis • germ cells : teratogenesis and reprotoxicity Population Organism Tissue • Objective • Assess genotoxicity markers as predictive biomarkers for U effects on individuals or populations Cell Molecule Mechanisms 3/14 2
32¢ Zebrafish • Easy breeding (mature in 3 month) • Fully sequenced genome v v • Model for developmental studies C. Adam, IRPA13, Glasgow, May 16th, 2012 4/14

Reversible DNA damages ? Comet assay in male gonad cells Exposure of zebrafish to 20 µg/L of uranium during 27 days U depuration during 28 days U accumulation U depuration ** ** ** * Mean DNA tail (%) Time (d) * p<0.05 ** p<0.01 control exposed C.Adam, 2012 • DNA damages are still observed after 28 days of depuration occurence of DNA Double Strand breaks (DSBs) ? correlation with the decrease of fertility ?

ZF4 cells (embryonic fibroblasts) Uranium induces DSB in ZF4 cells 5 µm Pereira et al, Aquatic Toxicology, 2011 • No cytotoxicity up to 500 µM • Increase of the nb of -H2AX foci per cell up to 100 µM C. Adam, IRPA13, Glasgow, May 16th, 2012 8/14

Genotoxicity of uranium on ZF4 cells Urchins-like thin needle-shaped uranium structures, mainly concentrated in lyzosome-like vesicles M. Floriani Pereira et al, Aquatic Toxicology, 2011 C. Adam, IRPA13, Glasgow, May 16th, 2012 11/14
Unrepaired DBSs at low U concentrations Pereira et al, Aquatic Toxicology, 2011 NHEJ repair was disrupted in uranium contaminated ZF4 cells: no DNApK foci was observed after 24 h of 10 µM uranium exposure C. Adam, IRPA13, Glasgow, May 16th, 2012 12/14
These damages are probably linked to U reprotoxicity (similar internal [U] concentrations for in vivo & in vitro studies) UO2 100 µg/L ZF4 cells ♂ gonad cells H2AX Conclusions • Uranium induces DNA SSBs, DSBs and micronuclei • Uranium detoxication in lyzosome-like structures may explain the low cytotoxicity (< 10 %) • Inhibition of NHEJ (DNA PK) complemented by another non specific DNA repair mechanism ?
