| Abstract | Cyantraniliprole is a novel diamide insecticide that acts upon the ryanodine receptor (RyR) and has broad application prospects. Accordingly, it is very important to evaluate the toxicity of cyantraniliprole to earthworms (Eisenia fetida) because of their vital role in maintaining a healthy soil ecosystem. In this study, an experiment was set up, using four concentrations (0.1, 1, 5, and 10 mg/kg) and solvent control group (0 mg/kg), to investigate the ecotoxicity of cyantraniliprole to earthworms. Our results showed that, after 28 days of exposure to cyantraniliprole, both cocoon production and the number of juvenile earthworms had decreased significantly at concentrations of either 5 or 10 mg/kg. On day 14, we measured the activities of digestive enzymes and ion pumps in the intestinal tissues of earthworms. These results revealed that cyantraniliprole exposure caused intestinal damage in earthworm, specifically changes to its intestinal enzyme activity and calcium ion content. Cyantraniliprole could lead to proteins’ carbonylation under the high-dose treatments (i.e., 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg). At the same time, we also found that cyantraniliprole can cause the abnormal expression of key functional genes (including HSP70, CAT, RYR, ANN, and CAM genes). Moreover, the transcriptomics data showed that exposure to cyantraniliprole would affect the synthesis of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, as well as their absorption and transformation, while cyantraniliprole would also affect signal transduction. In general, high-dose exposure to cyantraniliprole causes reproductive toxicity, genotoxicity, and intestinal damage to earthworms. |
