Meta-Analysis of Metabolic Responses of Earthworms to Agrochemicals: Dose-Response, Temporal Trends, and Pathway Perturbations
Agrochemicals pose significant threats to soil ecosystems by disrupting essential biochemical pathways in soil dwelling organisms, with earthworms, key ecosystem engineers and sensitive bioindicators, being particularly vulnerable. While traditional ecotoxicological methods provide valuable organismal endpoints, metabolomics offers a systems level approach capable of detecting early, sublethal biochemical perturbations. This meta-analysis synthesizes findings from eligible studies published up to December 2024 to quantify metabolomic disruptions in earthworms exposed to various agrochemicals. Meta-regression revealed a significant inverse dose-response relationship (β = -0.45, 95% CI: -0.62 to -0.28, p < 0.001), indicating intensified metabolic suppression at higher toxicant concentrations, while temporal analysis demonstrated progressive disruption with increased exposure duration (β = 0.023, 95% CI: 0.011–0.035, p < 0.001), suggesting cumulative toxic effects. Toxicant class-specific responses varied substantially, with neonicotinoids eliciting pronounced metabolic upregulation (log2FC: 2.48) and organophosphates inducing strong metabolic suppression (log2FC: -2.95). Pathway-level analysis revealed a consistent pattern of upregulated energy and amino acid metabolism alongside downregulated carbohydrate and Tricarboxylic Acid (TCA) cycle pathways, indicating a stress-induced metabolic shift. Species-specific differences were also evident, with Eudrilus eugeniae displaying greater sensitivity (log2FC: -4.2) compared to the model species Eisenia fetida. Despite high heterogeneity among studies (I2 = 96%), consistent metabolic disruption trends emerged, reinforcing the value of metabolomics in environmental monitoring. These findings highlight the need for standardized methodologies to enhance comparability and underscore the potential of metabolomics in providing mechanistic insights for ecotoxicological risk assessment.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
