摘要: We investigated the effects of different nanoplastic (NP, size = 100 nm) concentrations on red crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) and examined toxicity mechanisms. We established four concentration groups (control (CK): 0 mu g/L; Low: 100 mu g/L; Medium: 500 mu g/L; and High: 1000 mu g/L) and analyzed toxicity effects in C. quadricarinatus hepatopancreas using histopathological, transcriptomic, metabolomic, and fluorescence methods. NP exposure caused histological lesions and oxidative stress in hepatopancreas, and also significantly decreased glutathione (GSH) (P < 0.05) but significantly increased malondialdehyde content (MDA) (P < 0.05) in NP-treated groups. By analyzing different metabolic indicators, total cholesterol (T-CHO) content significantly increased (P < 0.05) and triglyceride (TG) content significantly decreased in Medium and High (P < 0.05). Transcriptomic analyses revealed that NPs influenced apoptosis, drug metabolism-cytochrome P450, and P53 signaling pathways. Metabolomic analyses indicated some metabolic processes were affected by NPs, including bile secretion, primary bile acid biosynthesis, and cholesterol metabolism. Caspase 3, 8, and 9 distribution levels in hepatopancreatic tissues were also determined by immunofluorescence; positive caspase staining increased with increased NP concentrations. Additionally, by examining relative Bcl-2, Bax, Apaf-1, and p53 mRNA expression levels, Bcl-2 expression was significantly decreased with increasing NP concentrations; and the expression of Bcl-2 was increasing significantly with the NPs concentration increasing. Bax expression in Low, Medium, and High groups was also significantly higher when compared with the CK group (P < 0.05); with High group levels significantly higher than in Low and Medium groups (P < 0.05). P53 expression was significantly increased in Low, Medium, and High groups (P < 0.05). Thus, NPs induced apoptosis in C. quadricarinatus hepatopancreatic cells, concomitant with increasing NP concentrations. Therefore, we identified mechanisms underpinning NP toxicity in C. quadricarinatus and provide a theoretical basis for exploring NP toxicity in aquatic organisms.
