Results showed that rhizosphere soils of YJV were mildly polluted by Cd and PAHs compared to that of JSV.

The dominant rhizobacteria genera at YJV (e.g., <em>Bacillus, Massilia, Sphingomonas</em>, and <em>Geobacter</em>) increased at an abundance level from the tillering to heading stage. Rhizobacteria interacted with the above co-pollutant more intensely at the tillering and heading stage, where genes involved in HM-resistance and PAH-degradation appeared to have a significant enhancement. The contents of bio-Cd and bio-As in rhizosphere soil of early rice were higher than that of late rice at each growth stage, especially at the heading stage.

However, it still lacks a comprehensive understanding about its neurotoxicology. The present study exposed adult zebrafish to environmentally realistic concentrations (0, 1, 3, and 10 µg/L) of MeP for 28 days, with objectives to elucidate the neurotoxic effects and mechanisms. Proteomic profiling found that MeP pollutant induced distinct mechanism of neurotoxicity as a function of sex. MeP pollutant appeared to preferentially target the neurotransmission cascade via synapse junctions. In male brain, glutamatergic neural signaling was enhanced by 10 µg/L of MeP in characteristics of higher glutamate neurotransmitter content (by 61.9%) and up-regulated glutamate receptor expression by 2.6-fold relative to the control. In MeP-exposed female brain, biomarker proteins of synapse formation and regeneration had significantly lower abundance, accounting for the blockage of synaptic neurotransmission. Furthermore, under the stress of MeP pollutant, both male and female zebrafish initiated a negative feedback mechanism along stress neuroendocrine axis by down-regulating the transcriptions of corticotropin-releasing hormone and its binding protein, which subsequently decreased blood cortisol concentrations. MeP subchronic exposure also disturbed innate immune function. In particular, significant increases in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) content by 15.6% were caused by MeP exposure in male brain, thereby inducing the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In contrast, female brain was able to adaptively up-regulate the protein expression of blood brain barrier to inhibit the infiltration of LPS endotoxin into brain. Overall, the present findings pinpoint the potent neurotoxicity of MeP pollutant even at environmentally realistic concentrations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":15774,"journal":{"name":"Journal of environmental sciences","volume":"132 ","pages":"Pages 134-144"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9660413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
