Behavioral, histopathological, genetic, and organism-wide responses to phenanthrene-induced oxidative stress in Eisenia fetida earthworms in natural soil microcosms

description | Phenanthrene (PHE) contamination not only changes the quality of soil environment but also threatens to the soil organisms. There is lack of focus on the eco-toxicity potential of this contaminant in real soil in the current investigation. Here, we assessed the toxic effects of PHE on earthworms (
Eisenia fetida
) in natural soil matrix. PHE exhibited a relatively high toxicity to
E. fetida
in natural soil, with the LC
50
determined to be 56.68 mg kg
−1
after a 14-day exposure. Excessive ROS induced by PHE, leading to oxidative damage to biomacromolecules in
E. fetida
, including lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation, and DNA damage. The antioxidant defense system (total antioxidant capacity, glutathione S-transferase, peroxidase, catalase, carboxylesterase, and superoxide dismutase) in
E. fetida
responded quickly to scavenge excess ROS and free radicals. Exposure to PHE resulted in earthworm avoidance responses (2.5 mg kg
−1
) and habitat function loss (10 mg kg
−1
). Histological observations indicated that the intestine, body wall, and seminal vesicle in
E. fetida
were severely damaged after exposure to high-dose PHE. Moreover, earthworm growth (weight change) and reproduction (cocoon production and the number of juvenile) were also inhibited after exposure to this pollutant. Furthermore, the integrated toxicity of PHE toward
E. fetida
at different doses and exposure times was assessed by the integrated biomarker response (IBR), which confirmed that PHE is more toxic to earthworms in the high-dose and long-term exposure groups. Our results showed that PHE exposure induced oxidative stress, disturbed antioxidant defense system, and caused oxidative damage in
E. fetida
. These effects can trigger behavior changes and damage histological structure, finally cause growth inhibition, genotoxicity, and reproductive toxicity in earthworms. The strength of this study is the comprehensive toxicity evaluation of PHE to earthworms and highlights the need to investigate the eco-toxicity potential of exogenous environmental pollutants in a real soil environment. |
