2,5-Dichloro-1,4-benzenediol (2,5-DCBQ) is a putative disinfection by-product that belongs to the halogenated benzoquinone class. However, its developmental toxicity and related mechanism remained unclarified. In our study, we used zebrafish embryos as the model and exposed them to graded concentrations of 2,5-DCBQ (100, 200, 300, 400 μg/L). We found that the rate of epiboly abnormalities increased significantly in a concentration-dependent manner. The results of whole-mount in situ hybridization (WISH) indicated that the expression patterns and levels of chordin (dorsoventral marker), foxa2 (endodermal marker), eve1 (ventral mesodermal marker), and foxb1a (ectodermal marker) were altered, suggesting that 2,5-DCBQ might affect the germ layer development of zebrafish embryos. Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were adopted to explore the molecular mechanisms of embryonic developmental delays. The results showed that 2,5-DCBQ exposure induced 1163 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 37 differential metabolites (DEMs). Bioinformatic analysis enriched the most affected molecular pathways (Wnt signaling pathway, cell adhesion molecules, actin cytoskeleton regulation) and metabolic pathways (purine metabolism, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, arginine and proline metabolism) in zebrafish embryos. To summarize, our findings broadened the molecular mechanisms of 2,5-DCBQ embryotoxicity through multi-omics and bioinformatic analyses.
