摘要
Environmental pollution caused by pesticides is a growing concern. Pyridaben, a widely used organochlorine insecticide, is a representative water pollutant. Owing to its extensive usage, it has been detected in various aquatic ecosystems, including rivers and oceans. Pyridaben is highly toxic to aquatic organisms; however, the mechanism of its toxicity in the liver, which is important in toxicant metabolism, has not been studied. Therefore, we employed zebrafish and its well-characterized liver cell line, ZFL to assess pyridaben hepatotoxicity and explore its potential mechanisms of action. Pyridaben led to reduction of the liver size and fluorescence intensity of dsRed-labeled Tg (fabp10a:dsRed) zebrafish. It reduced the viability and proliferation of ZFL cells in vitro by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. These changes might be primarily linked to uncontrolled intracellular calcium flow in ZFL cells exposed to pyridaben. Additionally, it also downregulates the PI3K/Akt signaling cascade, leading to the inactivation of Gsk3β and nuclear translocation of β-catenin. Taken together, our findings suggest that pyridaben could have hepatotoxic effects on aquatic organisms. This study is the first to provide insight into the hepatotoxic mechanism of pyridaben using both in vivo and in vitro models.
