Abstract
Environmental exposure to sodium dehydroacetate (DHA-S) is inevitable as DHA-S is a high-volume preservative widely used in cosmetics, processed foods and personal care products. DHA-S is absorbed rapidly when administered orally or on the skin and generally considered to be safe and well tolerated. However, DHA-S has recently been reported to induce weight loss and allergic contact dermatitis, yet little is known about how DHA-S affect the related biological processes. Here, we characterize the biological effects of DHA-S on zebrafish model by directly waterborne exposure. Zebrafish is susceptible to DHA-S exposure at early developmental stage. DHA-S decreased the hatch rate and locomotor persistence of zebrafish, and eventually induced lethality during the continuous exposure at relatively low concentrations of commonly addition. Acute DHA-S exposure decreased respiration capacity in larval zebrafish, promoted the expression of HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor-1α) and caused rapid adult zebrafish death in 30 h. We further demonstrated that DHA-S inhibited the activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) inducing respiratory chain interruption, energy deficiency and organic acids accumulation. These results suggest that the approved DHA-S may pose serious environmental/ecological pressures on the aquatic animal's migration.
