RESUMEN

Pesticides are important for agricultural development; however, animals involved in rice-fish farming absorb the pesticides used during the farming process. Thiamethoxam (TMX) is extensively used in agriculture and is gradually occupying the market for traditional pesticides. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether selenomethionine (SeMet) could affect the survival rate, bioaccumulation of TMX, serum biochemical parameters, lipid peroxidation, antioxidants in the hepatopancreas, and expression of stress genes after exposure of red swamp crayfish to 10 ppt TMX for 7 days. The results showed that the survival rate significantly increased and the bioaccumulation of TMX significantly decreased with SeMet administration (P < 0.05). Furthermore, severe histological damage to the hepatopancreas of red crayfish was observed after exposure to TMX; however, this damage was alleviated after SeMet administration. SeMet also significantly reduced the TMX-induced changes in serum biochemical parameters, malondialdehyde content, and antioxidant enzyme activity in crayfish hepatopancreas (P < 0.05). Notably, analysis of the expression of 10 stress response genes showed that 0.5 mg/kg SeMet might decrease cell damage in the hepatopancreas. Consequently, our findings suggest that higher levels of TMX in crayfish may cause hepatopancreatic cell toxicity, which can be harmful to human health; however, SeMet could mitigate these effects, providing an understanding of pesticide compounds and food safety.

RESUMEN

Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal contaminant and can be toxic to environment. What's more, Selenium (Se) protects organism as heavy metal antagonist. The present study aimed to investigate whether inorganic (Na2SeO3) or organic (L-SeMc) Se have an effect on the Cd bioaccumulation, antioxidant and immunity of the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) under Cd exposure. The study showed that the concentration of Cd in hepatopancreas under Cd exposure was higher than the inorganic or organic Se group (P < 0.05), notably, Cd concentration of hepatopancreas in organic Se treatment is less than that in inorganic Se treatment (P < 0.05). Furthermore, this study analyzed 28 gene expression about antioxidant and immune from transcriptome, the result indicated that L-SeMc (organic Se) can reduced intracellular ROS production and oxidative damage. Furthermore, apoptosis was enhanced after Cd exposure, but Se could protect against apoptosis via expression of cathepsin B. Consequently, Organic Se may have a better effect than inorganic Se on reducing Cd toxicity. This study could provide the molecular basis that Se might alleviate Cd toxicity and increases the understanding of the environmental contaminant on crustaceans.

RESUMEN

Heavy metal pollution has gained increasing attention over past years, and notably, cadmium (Cd) is a non-essential heavy metal that can be toxic to human and wildlife. Furthermore, selenium (Se) is a component of the selenoproteins and influences the toxicity of Cd in different organisms, and protect organisms as a kind of heavy metal antagonist. This study exposed mud crab to 5.0 mg/L Cd for 28 days, and investigated whether different concentrations (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mg/kg) of selenite (Na2SeO3) or selenomethionine (SeMet) affect the bioaccumulation of Cd, serum biochemical index, antioxidant and stress-response genes of S. paramamosain. The results showed that the Cd concentration in Cd group was significantly higher than the organic or inorganic Se group. Serum biochemical index demonstrated that Se might relieve the damage or dysfunction of hepatopancreas caused by both Cd accumulation and toxicity. Furthermore, Se improved CAT, GPx T-AOC and SOD activity, and decreased MDA concentrations and the lipid peroxidation levels, antagonistic to Cd. Then, this study analyzed the expression of 26 stress-related genes, the results indicated that the inorganic and organic Se might reduce the damage of cell and the toxicity of heavy metals in the hepatopancreas after Cd exposure. Therefore, this study indicated that Se might alleviate Cd toxicity via the different antioxidative mechanisms, and increased the understanding of environmental toxins on estuary crustaceans.
