Oocyte atresia in WT (HdrR) and P53 (-/-) medaka (Oryzias latipes) exposed to UVA.

The negative effects of ambient ultraviolet (UVA) on the water environment have been recently highlighted; UVA can create deleterious effects by stimulating stress on pelagic organisms. Little is known about UVA effects on oocyte characteristics of female fish. In the present study we explored the effects of exposure to ecologically relevant levels of simulated UVA radiation on ovaries of two major strains WT (HdrR) and P53 (-/-) of medaka (Oryzias latipes) mature female. Fish were assigned to control and three UVA-exposed groups as (15 min, 30 min, and 60 min/day) for three days and sample selection was 24 h and 14 days after exposure. Histological alterations and oocyte atresia percentage were analyzed in the UVA-exposed fish compared to control. Alteration comprised hyperthrophied follicular cells with increased thickness, breakdown of egg chorion (zona radiata), damage of cortical alveoli, and distorted nucleus and cytoplasm. The atresia percentages significantly increased with higher UVA exposure dose and time for both the wild type and the p53 deficient fish. The wild type displayed significantly higher oocyte atresia percentage than the p53 mutant. These results suggested that UVA exposure provoked histological alterations in both p53 and WT medaka oocytes leading to follicular atresia, which reduce female reproductive ability and larval production. UVA oocyte response showed p53 dependent and independent histological alteration, however, the p53 mutant was less sensitive to UVA than the wild type in medaka fish.
