摘要: Pesticides commonly occur as mixtures in an aqueous environment, causing deleterious effects on human health and the environment. However, the mechanism underlying the combined effects on aqueous organisms remains largely unknown, especially at low concentrations. In the current study, we inspected the interactive toxicity of tebuconazole (TEB), a triazole fungicide, and bifenthrin (BIF), a pyrethroid insecticide, to zebrafish (Danio rerio) using various toxicological assays. Our data revealed that the 96 h-LC50 (lethal concentration 50) values of BIF to fish at different life periods (embryonic, larval, juvenile, and adult periods) ranged from 0.013 (0.011-0.016) to 0.41 (0.35-0.48) mg a.i. L-1, which were lower than that of TEB ranging from 1.1 (0.88-1.3) to 4.8 (4.1-5.7) mg a.i. L-1. Combination of TEB and BIF induced synergetic acute toxicity to embryonic fish. Activities of T-SOD, POD, and GST were distinctly altered in most individual and joint administrations. Expressions of 16 genes associated with oxidative stress, cellular apoptosis, immune system, and endocrine system at the mRNA level were evaluated, and the information revealed that embryonic zebrafish were impacted by both individual compounds and their combinations. Six genes (cas9, P53, gr, TR alpha, IL-8, and cxcl-clc) exhibited greater changes when exposed to pesticide mixtures. Therefore, the joint effects induced by the pesticides at low concentrations should be considered in the risk assessment of mixtures and regulated as priorities for mixture risk management in the aqueous ecosystem. More research is needed to identify the threshold concentrations of the realistic pesticide mixtures above which synergistic interactions occur.
