22. Two types of experiments were designed :
1. Embryos were cultured saline solution
(BM) with 1/5000 dilution of GBH (430 uM)
2. 200 to 300 pg of glyphosate (in 4.6nl) was
injected in one blastomere of the two cell
embryo (final concentration in the injected
cell was 10 uM)
4.6nl
Injection volume represent 1/220 fold the
volume of the injected egg (1ul) Izq Der
23. Both GBM and glyphosate
injection alter midline formation
by down regulation of Shh and
Pax6
In tadpoles down regulation of
Otx2 and Sox9 produces:
1. Microcephaly
2. Microphthalmia
3. Craniofacial disruption
(branchial arches)
.
5. Shortening of anterior posterior
(AP) axis.
Paganelli, et al 2010
24. In larvae stage both GBH and
glyphosate produce disruption
of development craniofacial due
to inhibition of regulation of
genes expressed in the
embryonic midline (Shh, Otx2)
1. Microcephaly
2. Microftalmia
3. Craniofacial cartilages
4. Shortening of Anterior posterior
axis.
5. Ciclopia and Holoprosencephaly
Paganelli,
et
al
2010
25. Retinoic acid (a derivate of vitamin
A) plays an important role in the
regulation of expression of genes
controlling early embryogenesis in
vertebrates.
Retinoic acid is an important
morphogen for the pattern
formation of three embryonic axis
• BH increase retinoic acid
G
activity.
• A antagonist (Ro) rescue the
R
GBH induced phenotype.

29. Retinoic Acid
RA is a diffusible morphogen present in vertebrates that biding
a family of nuclear receptors (RAR), regulating early genes during
gastrulation (3 week of pregnancy) and late morphogenesis.
RA regulates formation of AP embryonic axis
In adults play role in fertility, vision, prevents neoplastic growth,
and neurodegenerative disease.
RA excess cause 20 % of the abortions and 35 % of
the malformations during embryonic pattern
formation
30. RA is ligand for a nuclear receptor and gene regulator

34. Caudal Regression Syndrome could be explained as:
A disorder of embryonic midline formation
results in the inhibition of several regulatory
pathways (Hox complex, A/P axis, Otx2, Shh, FGF8,
etc.).
Functional disruption of developmental
mechanisms: proliferation, apoptosis and cell
migration during early vertebrate morphogenesis.
35. Retinoic acid syndrome
Inhibition of Otx2 (forebrain and midbrain)
HPE (ciclopia and prosbosis) + agnatia and NEURAL CREST
sinotia
Inhibition of Shh (embryonic midline) HPE,
NEURAL CREST situs inversus, limbs (amelia, sirenomelia,
sindactily, etc.)
Missregulation of Hox genes (affects A/P axis,
vertebral identity and hindbrain)
Malformations: lung, diafragm, eyes , hearth, digestive tract,
kidney, gonades, etc.
36. Scientific reports associate chemicals and abnormal
morphogenesis for retinoic acid pathway disruption.

38. Toxicokinetics of glyphosate
Doses:
IV 100 mg/Kg
Oral 400 mg/kg
Slowly disappearance from blood
Intravenous half life: 10 hr.
Oral half life: 14 hr (degradation to AMPA 6%)
Distribution (two compartment model) both
administrations indicates that glyphosate penetrate easily
all tissues (according with Brewster et al 1991)
Anadon, et al, Toxicology letter (2009)
40. “These experimental conditions do not reflect human exposure, kinetics
(absorption, distribution, excretion and their time course) in the mammalian
organism or factors such as the placenta barrier in the pregnant female. In no
case, exposure of the developing human fetus in utero would be similar to that
one of the frog or chicken embryos in the study by Paganelli et al.” (page 3-4)

Placenta is permeable to glyphosate.
15 a 20 % of glyphosate in blood, cross the
placenta barrier.

42. Comments
treatment was done after late gastrulation when the
primitive streak and the axis are already setup.
craniofacial malformations
malformation in the skeleton (vertebrae, ribs, limbs, femur,
etc)
All of these malformations are consistent with the
increase of RA during development.

“Unexpectedly, we detected that a single application of glyphosate in
2005 shifted the mesocosms from a ‘‘clear’’ to a ‘‘turbid’’ state which
remained until the next year. As was discussed above, the glyphosate
may be adsorbed to sediments and a slow later desorption might
produce a long turn effect suppressing growth of the most sensitive
groups and favoring the abilities to compete of the more resistant
algae. This trend in long term effect was suggested by Holtby and
Baillie (1989) who reported an enhancement of periphytic production
as a response to increased levels of phosphorus produced by a unique
application of Roundup done 1 year before their experiment, carried
out in natural streams”
