摘要： Phenanthrene (Phe) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) are among the most frequently detected contaminants in the coastal environment of China. However, comparative studies on the toxic effects of these two chemicals in fish are limited. This study examined biomarker responses in Chinese tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) larvae exposed to sublethal Phe/PFOS (10 and 100 mu g/L) for 7 days. The results showed that both Phe and PFOS significantly altered antioxidant indexes, such as activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD), and the detoxification metabolic parameters including glutathione S-transferase (GST) and glutathione (GSH). Both Phe and PFOS affected the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AchE) and the expression of androgen receptor gene (AR), and estrogen receptor genes (ER alpha and ER beta). PFOS significantly upregulated AR expression, with levels reaching 2.4-fold that of the control group, whereas AR gene expression was significantly suppressed under Phe exposure. Both PFOS and Phe upregulated the expression of ER alpha and ER beta genes. The ER alpha gene expression was 9.17-fold higher in the 100 mu g/L PFOS group and 1.88-fold higher in the 100 mu g/L Phe group compared to the control. The integrated biomarker response (IBRv2) index revealed that high concentration of PFOS was more toxic than Phe at the initial stage of exposure. Principal component analysis (PCA) further confirmed the distinct separation between the control and high concentration treatment groups, highlighting the immunotoxic and reproductive toxic effects of Phe and PFOS. These findings underscore the importance of monitoring and regulating the environmental presence of these pollutants to protect aquatic life.
