Among the PBDEs, 2,2′,4,4′-Tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) exhibits the broadest distribution and is recognized for its adverse impact on fish. The formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) known as “NETosis” is a neutrophil antimicrobial mechanism that plays an important role in the immune system. However, the impact of BDE-47 on the aquatic animal immune system remains unknown. Therefore, our research investigated the toxic mechanism of BDE-47 to fish neutrophils. Firstly, the quantitative analysis of NETs showed that BDE-47 induced the synthesis of NETs. Furthermore, our findings demonstrated that BDE-47 could enhance reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. The results also suggested that BDE-47 may play a role in promoting neutrophil autophagy and apoptosis. In addition, BDE-47 exposure inhibited the activities of oxidative stress-related antioxidant enzymes and increased malondialdehyde levels, thus causing oxidative stress. Finally, BDE-47 phosphorylated P38 and extracellular signal-regulated Kinase (ERK) pathway proteins. Collectively, BDE-47 promotes NETs formation by facilitating the ROS/P38/ERK axis and oxidative stress in carp neutrophils, promoting cellular autophagy, in addition to activating the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, and this toxicity exists in a dose-dependent manner. The study investigated the fundamental mechanisms of BDE-47 on carp neutrophils. This investigation offered fresh perspectives on the immunotoxicological mechanisms of BDE-47 and provided a new basis for mitigating the adverse effects of BDE-47 on aquatic animals.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11756,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Toxicology","volume":"40 10","pages":"1233-1244"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143932899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
