Abstract (EN): Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2-NP) have already been detected in the aquatic compartment, however, the evaluation of potential ecotoxicological effects on biota are scarce. The present study aimed to assess the toxic effects of CeO2-NP in Oncorhynchus mykiss in different organs/tissues (gills, liver and kidney) after acute exposure (96 h) to three concentrations: 0.25, 2.5 and 25 mg/L. Oxidative stress response (catalase - CAT; glutathione S-transferases - GSTs), lipid peroxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances - TBARS), Na+/K+- ATPase activity, genotoxicity (genetic damage index - GDI) and histopathology (organ's pathological indices) were evaluated. CAT activity was increased in gills and decreased in liver of fish exposed to the highest CeO2-NPs concentration tested. However, GSTs and Na+/K+-ATPase activities and TBARS levels were not significantly altered in analysed organs. CeO2-NP caused marked changes in the gills (aneurysms, blood capillary congestion, lamellar hypertrophy and hyperplasia, secondary lamella fusion and epithelial lifting), in liver (pyknotic nucleus, hyperemia, enlargement of sinusoids and leucocyte infiltration) and kidney (shrinkage of the glomeruli, enlargement of the Bowman space, tubular degeneration and nuclear hypertrophy). Moreover, a semi-quantitative histopathological scoring system (pathological index) confirmed significant alterations in the three organs of all exposed fish. Furthermore, a significant increase of GDI indices observed in gills and liver, for all tested concentrations, indicated a dose-dependent effect. The present study suggests that the release of CeO2-NP into the aquatic environment promotes biochemical, genotoxic and histopathological damages in fish. However, the mechanisms underlying the occurrence of such effects require further investigation.
