dc.description.abstractTo study the intricate toxicological mechanisms triggered by exposure to mixed pollutants, we exposed zebrafish embryos to legacy and emerging pollutants through binary mixtures of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and diclofenac (DFC). The combination of next-generation transcriptomics and toxicopathology disclosed instances where exposure to mixtures did not attain the expected sum of acute effects of individual toxicants, indicating potential antagonism. Despite overall higher mortality in DFC treatments, the same antagonistic trend was noted in genotoxicity and molecular pathways related to RNA turnover, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell-cycle control. The formation of oedemas in the heart cavity and yolk sac can be an adverse outcome (AO) resulting from exposure to DFC isolated or combined, whose potential key events (KEs) may involve cell cycle arrest and apoptosis via p53 and MAPK pathways. From the findings it can be hypothesised that, rather than genotoxicity, the molecular initiating event (MIE) maybe inflammation triggered by oxidative stress. Nonetheless, the exact role of ROS in the process needs further clarification. Impaired eye function by action of DFC and B[a]P combined may be another AO, in the case caused by ocular degeneration following the suppression of biologic processes and molecular functions involved in eye development and its functionalities, possibly linked to hindered regulation of the expression of hsf4 and cryaa. Altogether, toxicopathology suggests predominance of antagonistic effects, but its integration with mechanism suggests that interactions between DFC and B[a]P in environmentally-relevant concentrations that may lead to hindrance of key functions such as the control of inflammation and cell cycle. These outcomes suggest potentially severe implications for health and survival, in case of prolonged chronic exposure to combined toxicants.en
