Study of cadmium (Cd)-induced oxidative stress in Eisenia fetida based on mathematical modelling

As a sensitive biological indicator, earthworms are widely used to monitor various pollutants of soil and provide an early warning for soil pollution. However, because many indices are involved in the exposure-induced oxidative stress response, practical applications of these indices are quite inconvenient. Therefore, it is appropriate to investigate the key monitoring index for use in early warning and pollution monitoring. Using Eisenia fetida as an experimental model in an indoor simulation experiment, the mathematical modelling of the effect on oxidative stress in earthworms under cadmium (Cd) stress was studied. The test lasted 40 d, with the removal of one earthworm every 10 d. The Cd²⁺ concentration gradient was set as 0, 1, 10, 20, 100, 200, 400, and 800 mg kg^-1 dry weight. The earthworms were divided into two sections from the clitellum for the determination of total protein (TP) and peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities. Results showed that POD was the key index of oxidative stress in head tissues after 10 d of exposure, TP was the key index at 20 d, and POD became the key index again at 30 and 40 d. By contrast, in tail tissues, MDA and SOD were the key indices at an exposure time of 10 d, GPX at 20 d, CAT and TP at 30 d, and POD and MDA at 40 d. These results contribute to establishing a scientific method for ecotoxicological diagnosis and revealing the mechanism of soil Cd toxicity.     

水分条件对豌豆保护酶活性及膜脂过氧化的影响

为探讨不同水分条件对豌豆保护酶系统和膜脂过氧化的影响,采用盆栽人工控水试验方法,模拟干旱胁迫及复水条件,研究了不同水分处理对花荚期豌豆叶片超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)活性以及过氧化产物丙二醛(MDA)含量和脂膜相对透性(RC)的影响,并对花荚期豌豆抗氧化能力进行了综合评价.结果表明:不同程度干旱胁迫历时5 d时并未影响豌豆叶片SOD、CAT活性,但有明显的滞后效应.重度干旱胁迫历时10 d可显著降低豌豆叶片SOD、CAT活性,显著提高MDA含量.不同程度的干旱胁迫均导致豌豆叶片POD活性提高,膜脂相对透性加大.复水可对干旱胁迫所造成的CAT、POD活性变化产生显著补偿作用,对SOD活性变化产生超补偿作用.同时,可显著降低MDA含量和脂膜相对透性;干旱胁迫历时10 d内和复水历时10 d内,豌豆有较强的抗氧化能力,仅在重度胁迫10 d后复水历时达到10 d时抗氧化能力趋弱.     

DEHP对土壤蚯蚓氧化胁迫及DNA损伤的研究

土壤环境中的酞酸酯污染日益严重,为了探讨和分析典型酞酸酯邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯(Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate,DEHP)对土壤动物的生态毒理效应,以赤子爱胜蚓为指示生物,暴露于DEHP浓度为CK、0.1、1、10、50 mg kg~(-1)人工土壤中,并于染毒后的7、14、21、28d取样测定。通过蚯蚓体内的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物(POD)、谷胱甘肽转移酶(GST)等指标反映DEHP对蚯蚓的氧化激活程度,通过活性氧自由基(ROS)的含量反映DEHP对蚯蚓的细胞毒性,通过丙二醛(MDA)含量和Olive尾矩反映DEHP对蚯蚓的遗传毒性,从多个角度评价DEHP对蚯蚓的生态毒理效应。结果表明:(1)在DEHP的刺激下,各浓度组蚯蚓的SOD、CAT、POD、GST活性均呈激活状态,表明DEHP对蚯蚓的抗氧化酶有诱导作用;(2)DEHP影响蚯蚓的ROS含量,各染毒处理组与对照组相比均升高且差异性明显,表现出明显的剂量—效应关系;(3)对比各染毒处理组之间的数据,DEHP对蚯蚓MDA含量的影响无明显规律;(4)DEHP可使蚯蚓GST呈激活状态,表明中高浓度的DEHP对蚯蚓GST具有诱导作用;(5)DEHP能够引起蚯蚓体腔细胞DNA的损伤,且随着浓度的增加,Olive尾矩值随之增加,说明DNA损伤程度与DEHP浓度之间具有剂量-效应关系。从实验结果可以看出,DEHP可以对蚯蚓机体和DNA造成一定程度的损伤,表现出较强的生态毒理效应。

Cd~(2+)胁迫对西瓜幼苗光合生理及活性氧代谢的影响

通过盆栽试验,研究了土壤中Cd2+对西瓜(Citrullus vulgaris)幼苗光合特性及活性氧代谢的影响。结果表明:Cd2+降低了小型西瓜叶绿素总含量,改变了叶绿素a/b的值,其叶绿素总含量与土壤中Cd2+浓度极显著(P0.01)负相关;减弱了西瓜幼苗的净光合速率(Pn),降低了胞间CO2浓度(Ci)、气孔导度(Gs)和蒸腾速率(Tr)。西瓜叶片中超氧阴离子自由基(·O2-)产生速率、过氧化氢(H2O2)和丙二醛(MDA)含量随着土壤中Cd2+浓度的升高而增加,且H2O2和MDA含量与Cd2+浓度极显著(P0.01)正相关。在Cd2+胁迫下,过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性变化显著,其活性与H2O2含量、MDA含量极显著(P0.01)负相关。Cd2+胁迫引起叶绿素等光合相关生理因子降低,是导致西瓜幼苗净光合速率降低的直接原因;活性氧代谢失调,脂膜过氧化加重是导致其净光合速率降低的另一重要原因。     

土壤菲多次叠加污染对蚯蚓的毒性效应

采用多次叠加污染的方式模拟菲(Phenanthrene,Phe)在土壤中逐步累积的过程,分析在不同老化阶段(1、7、14、28和56 d)土壤Phe的生物有效性特征,及其对蚯蚓体腔细胞酶活性、染色体和溶酶体膜的毒性效应。结果表明:随着土壤培养时间的延长,土壤中Phe有效含量、蚯蚓体内Phe富集量、蚯蚓体腔细胞超氧化物歧化酶(Superoxide dismutase,SOD)和过氧化物酶(Peroxidase,POD)活性、丙二醛(Malondialdehyde,MDA)含量以及微核率均呈前期(1~28 d)下降较快,后期(29~56 d)下降速率逐渐减小的趋势,中性红保留时间呈逐渐升高的趋势,表明随着培养时间的延长,Phe对蚯蚓的毒性效应逐渐减小。土壤Phe有效含量与蚯蚓体内Phe富集量、SOD和POD酶活性、MDA含量、微核率和中性红保留时间均呈极显著相关(p0.01),决定系数(R2)分别为0.887 9、0.893 4、0.870 9、0.930 5、0.893 3和0.885 1。在1~56 d老化时间内,多次叠加污染土壤中Phe有效含量和蚯蚓体内Phe富集量分别较一次污染低23.19%~50.15%和12.64%~57.89%;蚯蚓体腔细胞SOD和POD酶活性分别较一次污染低3.40%~47.24%和6.49%~38.02%;MDA含量比一次污染低1.30%~57.82%;微核率较一次污染低12.48%~22.99%;中性红保留时间较一次污染高1.35%~13.97%,这表明土壤Phe多次叠加污染对蚯蚓体腔细胞的毒性效应低于一次污染。     

Effect of different forms of selenium on the plant–soil–earthworm system

Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for humans, animals, and certain lower plants, but at higher concentrations Se becomes toxic to organisms. The boundary between the Se beneficial effect and its toxicity is narrow and depends on its chemical form, applied concentration, and other environmentally regulating factors. Due to the potential risk of toxicity in higher concentration, the aim of this study was to estimate the impact of increased concentrations of different forms of Se on the response of the wheat–soil–earthworm system. Soil, earthworms, and wheat grains were exposed to the Se in form of selenite and selenate in concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, and 1 mg kg⁻¹. As an indicator of oxidative stress in wheat, lipid peroxidation levels (LPO) and total H₂O₂ content were determined, while antioxidative response was determined by catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and glutathione reductase (GR) activities. The biomarker responses in earthworms were determined by acetylcholinesterase (AChE), carboxylesterase (CES), and antioxidative enzymes (CAT and glutathione S‐transferase) activities. Selenite and selenate increased Se content in the wheat and earthworms, while selenate application was more efficient, indicating higher bioaccumulation of this Se form. Both Se forms did not cause significant changes in the LPO level and H₂O₂ content, while GPX activities were elevated in all treatments, suggesting that oxidative stress was not induced in wheat. In earthworms, Se significantly reduced activities of AChE and CAT at some concentrations, while CES activity was increased at all concentrations applied. This study showed significant impact of Se on measured biochemical responses in wheat and earthworms, indicating the disruption of homeostasis. Obtained results can serve as basis for further studies on Se effects and will help in including different aspects necessary for understanding of Se impact on different components of soil ecosystems.     

Effect of Zinc on Cadmium Toxicity-Induced Oxidative Stress in Winter Wheat Seedlings

Two hydroponic experiments were conducted to investigate the antioxidant response of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to cadmium (Cd)-zinc (Zn) interactions, Seedlings of winter wheat (cv. Yuandong 977), were grown in modified Hoagland nutrient solution with the addition of increasing concentrations of Cd (0, 10, 25, 50 μM). In experiment 2, the seedlings of the same cultivar were treated with constant concentration of Cd (25 μM) and varying levels of Zn (0, 1, 10, 50 μM). Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and malondialdehyde (MDA) as well as the activities of three antioxidant enzymes, catalase (CAT), guaiacol peroxidase (GPX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) were monitored to estimate the amount of oxidative stress and the antioxidant ability of seedlings treated with Cd and Zn for 10 days. The results showed that levels of H₂O₂ and MDA in experiment 1 were significantly increased with increasing Cd concentrations. The data indicated that Cd could induce oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in the plants. While H₂O₂ and MDA levels were significantly reduced by addition of Zn in experiment 2, the activities antioxidant enzymes were enhanced. A concentration of 10 μM Zn appeared to be the optimal level in this experiment for seedlings' growth, chlorophyll synthesis and antioxidant status, indicating that Zn alleviated the oxidative stress induced by Cd.     

土壤水分胁迫对设施黄瓜叶片光合及抗氧化酶系统的影响

以黄瓜品种"津研四号"(Jinyan4)为试材,于2015/2016年秋冬季在温室内对黄瓜全生育期开展土壤水分胁迫盆栽试验,设置正常灌溉CK(田间持水量的70%~80%)、轻度胁迫T1(田间持水量的60%~70%)、中度胁迫T2(田间持水量的50%~60%)、重度胁迫T3(田间持水量的30%~40%)4个土壤水分处理,采用土壤水分传感器EM50监测土壤含水量,于苗期、伸蔓期、开花期和结瓜期测定黄瓜叶片的光合特性和抗氧化酶活性等指标。结果表明:(1)水分胁迫下黄瓜叶片光合色素含量均有不同程度降低,T3处理叶绿素a、叶绿素b和类胡萝卜素含量平均值分别比CK下降47.41%、41.03%和34.03%,叶绿素a/b无明显变化趋势。(2)随着土壤水分胁迫加剧,叶片净光合速率(Pn)、胞间CO2浓度(Ci)、蒸腾速率(Tr)和气孔导度(Gs)值下降,气孔限制值(Ls)升高,T3处理水分利用效率(WUE)高于其它各处理。(3)随着胁迫时间的延长,各处理黄瓜叶片丙二醛(MDA)含量逐渐增加,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性均呈先升高后降低,过氧化物酶(POD)呈先降低后升高再降低的趋势。随着胁迫的加重,SOD、POD和CAT活性不断升高,MDA含量持续增加。研究认为土壤水分胁迫引起黄瓜叶片光合能力下降,抗氧化酶活性升高,MDA含量增加。     

钙离子通过调节抗氧化酶活性保护NaCl对菊芋的毒害

The ameliorative effect of external Ca^2＋ on Jerusalem artichoke （Helianthus tuberosus L.） under salt stress was studied through biochemical and physiological analyses of Jerusalem artichoke seedlings treated with or without 10 mol L^-1 CaCl2, 150 mmol L^-1 NaCl, and/or 5 mmol L^-1 ethylene-bis（oxyethylenenitrilo）-tetraacetic acid （EGTA） for five days. Exposure to NaC1 （150 mmol L^-1） decreased growth, leaf chlorophyll content, and photosynthetic rate of Jerusalem artichoke seedlings. NaC1 treatment showed 59% and 37% higher lipid peroxidation and electrolyte leakage, respectively, than the control. The activities of superoxide dismutase （SOD）, peroxidase （POD）, and catalase （CAT） were decreased by NaCl, indicating an impeded antioxidant defense mechanism of Jerusalem artichoke grown under salt stress. Addition of 10 mmol L^-1 CaCl2 to the salt solutions significantly decreased the damaging effect of NaC1 on growth and chlorophyll content and simultaneously restored the rate of photosynthesis almost to the level of the control. Ca^2＋ addition decreased the leaf malondialdehyde （MDA） content and electrolyte leakage from NaCl-treated seedlings by 47% and 24%, respectively, and significantly improved the activities of SOD, POD, and CAT in NaCl-treated plants. Addition of EGTA, a specific chelator of Ca2＋, decreased the growth, chlorophyll content, and photosynthesis, and increased level of MDA and electrolyte leakage from NaCl-treated plants and from the control plants. EGTA addition to the growth medium also repressed the activities of SOD, POD, and CAT in NaCl-treated and control seedlings. External Ca2＋ might protect Jerusalem artichoke against NaC1 stress by up-regulating the activities of antioxidant enzymes and thereby decreasing the oxidative stress.     

The Positive Effects of Silicon on Rice Seedlings Under Saline-Alkali Mixed Stress

Saline-alkali mixed stress is a widespread environmental problem in agriculture. To examine the effects of silicon on rice under saline-alkali stress, the effects of silicon on germination, morphogenesis, chlorophyll content, soluble protein content, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and antioxidases including peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) activities were investigated in rice seedlings. The results showed that germination percentage, germination rate, and germination index were increased significantly by the silicon compared with the nonsilicon treatment. Meanwhile, silicon application improved the growth of rice seedlings remarkably under saline-alkali stress, which was consistent with the elevation of chlorophyll contents. The MDA contents were decreased markedly with different silicon treatments. In contrast, the activities of SOD and POD were enhanced significantly with appropriate silicon treatment, which were in accordance with the increasing of soluble protein contents. All the analysis showed that 5 and 10 mmol/L silicon concentrations were more effective in alleviating the injury of rice seedlings under saline-alkali stress.

小麦对渍涝的响应及排水指标确定

湖北平原地区春季雨水较多,麦田易受渍涝危害,研究小麦对渍涝的响应,并建立作物相对产量与渍涝天数的关系模型,可为该区冬小麦农业生产防灾减灾管理提供依据。在可控制灌排的有底混凝土测筒中于小麦孕穗期和灌浆期设置持续渍涝(5、10、15和20 d)处理,旨在研究江汉平原冬小麦孕穗期和灌浆期持续渍涝胁迫对其生理活动及产量的影响。结果表明:小麦孕穗期、灌浆期受渍涝胁迫均导致叶绿素a、b和2者总含量降低,且渍涝时间越长,含量越低。孕穗期和灌浆期渍涝后,过氧化氢酶活性在旗叶、根系、灌浆期幼穗中的变化趋势均是先升高后降低,除孕穗期根系在渍涝15 d时达到最大,其余部位均是渍涝10 d时达到最大,在孕穗期幼穗中的变化趋势是随着渍涝程度的加剧,其活性持续升高;除孕穗期幼穗、灌浆期根系外,其余部位过氧化物酶活性的变化趋势是持续增加,且渍涝程度愈重,其增加幅度愈大,在孕穗期幼穗中的活性恰恰相反,在灌浆期根系中的变化趋势是先降低后升高,渍涝10 d时降到最低;旗叶、根系和幼穗中超氧化物歧化酶活性降低,且渍涝程度愈重,其降低幅度愈大。孕穗期、灌浆期小麦遭受渍涝后减产严重,孕穗期渍涝5、10、15和20 d 4个处理实际产量分别减少了18.4%、45.5%、63.9%、85.5%,灌浆期分别减少了7.6%、17.8%、43.7%、70.2%,孕穗期渍涝小麦减产的原因是单株有效穗数和穗粒数减少,灌浆期是穗粒数和千粒质量减少。若以小麦减产15%作为田间渍涝排除标准,孕穗期、灌浆期能承受的渍涝时间为3.6、6.4 d,田面渍涝排除后应在3 d内将地下水位降到70 cm以下。该研究可为长江中下游稻作区麦田排水管理提供科学依据。

Assessing the Oxidative Stress Induced by Paracetamol Spiked in Artificial Sediment on Hyalella azteca

Paracetamol is an antipyretic analgesic widely used globally. It has been recurrently found in water bodies and is known to elicit toxic effects in aquatic species; however, its potential ability to induce oxidative stress in sentinel species remains unknown The objective was to establish a methodology to evaluate the toxicity elicited on the sentinel species Hyalella azteca by paracetamol-enriched sediment using oxidative stress tests. Concentrations used in assays were determined using the previously obtained median lethal concentration (72?h LC₅₀). The following oxidative stress biomarkers were evaluated: lipid peroxidation (LPO), protein carbonyl content (PCC) in order to determine oxidized protein content, and the activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX). LPO and PCC increased significantly while SOD, CAT, and GPX decreased significantly (p?<?0.05) with respect to controls. Paracetamol induces oxidative stress on H. azteca, and the set of tests employed is helpful in evaluating the toxicity of this group of pharmaceuticals on aquatic species.
