Cyanobacterial blooms and their secondary metabolites, microcystins (MCs), are not only toxic to aquatic organisms, but also to humans. MCs exert reproductive toxicity in female fish by affecting the oocyte development. However, the mechanism behind MC-LR interference in oocyte development remains largely unknown. In our study, adult female zebrafish were exposed to MC-LR (0, 1, 5, 20 μg/L) for 30 d. After exposure to MC-LR for 30 d, fertilized eggs from the treated females and healthy males were collected and cultured in water without MC-LR. Histomorphological observations showed pathological damage in the ovary after MC-LR exposure, which was mainly characterized by enlarged intercellular spaces, detachment of follicular cells from oocytes, and vacuolation of parenchymal tissues. The 20 μg/L MC-LR treatment caused a remarkable increase in the rate of the zebrafish oocytes germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) and a significant decrease in the levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and vitellogenin (VTG). In addition, the phosphorylation levels of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) were elevated in ovaries from zebrafish exposed to 5 and 20 μg/L MC-LR, and cyclinB phosphorylation levels were also upregulated notably in the 20 μg/L MC-LR group. However, MC-LR exposure did not cause any change in the levels of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) protein and cdc2 phosphorylation in all the treatments. All the doses of MC-LR reduced the number of eggs, prematurely hatched the fertilized eggs and increased the abnormal rate of offspring generation. In summary, the present study demonstrates that MC-LR promotes oocyte maturation by activating the ERK1/2 and MPF signaling pathways, and cAMP is involved in this process.
