摘要： Cadmium (Cd) pollution poses an important problem, but limited information is available about the toxicology effects of Cd on freshwater invertebrates. We investigated the accumulation, oxidative stress, microbial community changes, and transcriptomic alterations in apple snails (Pomacea canaliculata) under Cd stress. The snails were exposed to the 10 mu g/L Cd solution for 16 days, followed by a 16-day elimination period. Our results showed that the liver accumulated the highest Cd concentration (17.41 mu g/g), followed by the kidneys (8.00 mu g/g) and intestine-stomach (6.68 mu g/g), highlighting these tissues as primary targets for Cd accumulation. During the elimination period, Cd concentrations decreased in all tissues, with the head-foot and shell exhibiting over 30% elimination rates. Cd stress also resulted in reduced activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione transferase (GST) compared to the control group. Notably, even after 16 days of depuration, the enzyme activities did not return to normal levels, indicating persistent toxicological effects. Cd exposure significantly reduced the diversity of gut microbiota in P. canaliculata. Moreover, transcriptome analysis identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) primarily associated with lysosome function, motor proteins, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, drug metabolism via cytochrome P450 (CYP450), arachidonic acid metabolism, and ECM-receptor interactions. These findings suggest that Cd stress predominantly disrupts cellular transport and metabolic processes. Overall, our study provides comprehensive insights into the toxicological impact of Cd on P. canaliculata and emphasizes the importance of understanding the mechanisms underlying Cd toxicity in aquatic organisms.
