摘要： Prochloraz (PCZ), an imidazole fungicide, has been extensively used in horticulture and agriculture to protect against pests and diseases. To investigate the potential toxicity of PCZ on aquatic organisms, larval zebrafish, as a model, were exposed to a series of concentrations (0, 20, 100, and 500 mu g/L) of PCZ for 7 days. With transcriptomic analysis, we found that exposure to high dose PCZ could produce 76 downregulated and 345 upregulated differential expression genes (DEGs). Bioinformatics analysis revealed that most of the DEGs were characterized in the pathways of glycolipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and oxidative stress in larval zebrafish. Targeted metabolomic analysis was conducted to verify the effects of PCZ on the levels of acyl-carnitines and some amino acids in larval zebrafish. In addition, biochemical indicators related to glycolipid metabolism were affected obviously, manifested as elevated triglyceride (TG) levels and decreased glucose (Glu) levels in whole larvae. The expression levels of genes associated with glycolipid metabolism were affected in larvae after exposure to PCZ (PK, GK, PEPckc, SREBP, ACO). Interestingly, we further confirmed that PCZ could induce oxidative stress by the changing enzyme activities (T-GSH, GSSG) and upregulating several related genes levels in larval zebrafish. Generally, our results revealed that the endpoints related to glycolipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and oxidative stress were influenced by PCZ in larval zebrafish.
