ABSTRACT
Difenoconazole (DFZ), classified as a "low-toxicity pesticide," has seen widespread application in recent years. Nevertheless, the non-target toxicity of the substance, particularly towards aquatic creatures, has generated considerable apprehension. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of Ferulic Acid (FA) have attracted considerable study in this particular setting. This study established a chronic exposure model to DFZ and investigated the protective effects of FA on chronic respiratory inhibition leading to gill damage in freshwater carp. Histological analyses via HE staining indicated that FA effectively alleviated gill tissue damage induced by chronic DFZ exposure. The qRT-PCR results showed that the addition of FA reduced the expression of IL-1ß, IL-6 and TNF-α while boosting the expression of IL-10 and TGF-ß1. Biochemical analyses and DHE staining revealed that FA reduced MDA levels and increased CAT and GSH activities, along with T-AOC, decreased ROS accumulation in response to chronic DFZ exposure. The results obtained from Western blotting analysis demonstrated that the addition of FA effectively suppressed the activation of the NF-κB signalling pathway and the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in the gills subjected to prolonged exposure to DFZ. In summary, FA ameliorated gill tissue inflammation and blocked ROS accumulation in carp exposed to chronic DFZ, mitigating tissue inflammation and restoring redox homeostasis through the NF-κB-NLRP3 signaling pathway. Hence, the application of FA has been found to be efficacious for improving respiratory inhibition and mitigating gill tissue inflammation and oxidative stress resulting from DFZ pollution in aquatic habitats.
