Abstract


The effect of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on metal bioavailability and toxicity is a complex process. Effluents from galvanizing plants containing large amounts of DOM and Zn were selected to investigate the potential influence and mechanism of DOM on Zn bioavailability and its role in inducing thyroid hormone disrupting effects. Thyroid hormone disrupting effects were evaluated using a recombinant thyroid hormone receptor β gene yeast assay. The results suggest that Zn could be the main metal contributor to the toxic effects. Then, Zn-binding characteristics with different fluorescent components of DOM were analyzed using three-dimensional excitation emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy (3DEEM) and revealed that Zn was more susceptible to interactions with fulvic-like materials. Furthermore, DOM altered the cellular biouptake and compartmentalization processes of Zn by downregulating Zn transmembrane transport-related genes (ZRT1, ZRT2 and ZAP1) and upregulating detoxification-related genes (COT1 and ZRC1), thus altering thyroid toxicity. These results provide comprehensive insights into the influence and mechanism of DOM on bioavailability and thyroid toxicity of Zn and suggest that the influence is associated with complex physical, chemical and biological processes, indicating that more refined medium constraints along with subtle biological reactions should be considered when predicting the bioavailability and toxicity of Zn in environmental water samples.
