摘要： The innate immunity of bivalves serves as the initial defense mechanism against environmental pollutants, ultimately impacting genetic regulatory networks through synergistic interactions. Previous research has demonstrated variations in the accumulation and tolerance capacities of bivalves; however, the specific mechanism underlying the low accumulation of PSTs in M. unguiculatus remains unclear. This study examined the alterations in feeding behavior and transcriptional regulation of M. unguiculatus following exposure to two Alexandrium strains with distinct toxin profiles, specifically gonyautoxin (AM) and N-sulfocarbamoyl toxin (AC). The total accumulation rate of PSTs in M. unguiculatus was 43.64 % (AC) and 27.80 % (AM), with highest PSTs content in the AM group (455.39 mu g STXeq/kg). There were significant variations (P < 0.05) in physiological parameters, such as total hemocyte count, antioxidant superoxide activity and tissue damage in both groups. The absorption rate was identified as the key factor influencing toxin accumulation. Transcriptomic analyses demonstrated that PSTs triggered upregulation of endocytosis, lysosome, and immune-related signaling pathways. Furthermore, PSTs induced a nucleotide imbalance in the AC group, with total PSTs content serving as the most toxic indicator. These results suggested that protein-like substances had a crucial role in the stress response of M. unguiculatus to PSTs. This study provided novel perspectives on the impacts of intricate regulatory mechanisms and varying immune responses to PSTs in bivalves.
