摘要: Microcystin-LR (MC-LR), the toxic substance of cyanobacteria secondary metabolism, widely exists in water environments and poses great risks to living organisms. Some toxicological assessments of MC-LR have performed at physiological and biochemical levels. However, plenty of blanks about the potential mechanism in aquatic crustacean remains. In this study, we firstly assessed the exposure toxicity of MC-LR to juvenile E. sinensis and clarified that the 96 h LD50 of MC-LR was 73.23 mu g/kg. Then, hepatopancreas transcriptome profiles of MCLR stressed crabs were constructed at 6 h post-injection and 37 differential expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. These DEGs were enriched in cytoskeleton, peroxisome and apoptosis pathways. To further reveal the toxicity of MC-LR, oxidative stress parameters (SOD, CAT, GSH-px and MDA), apoptosis genes (caspase 3, bcl-2 and bax) and apoptotic cells were detected. Significant accumulated MDA and rise-fall enzyme activities verified the oxidative stress caused by MC-LR. It is noteworthy that quantitative real-time PCR and TUNEL assay indicated that MC-LR stress-induced apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway. Interestingly, activator protein-1 may play a crucial role in mediating the hepatotoxicity of MC-LR by regulating apoptosis and oxidative stress. Taken together, our study investigated the toxic effects and the potential molecular mechanisms of MC-LR on juvenile E. sinensis. It provided useful data for exploring the toxicity of MC-LR to aquatic crustaceans at molecular levels.
