Résumé

The toxicity of low-level arsenic (As)-contaminated soil is not well understood. An integrated proteomic and metabolomic approach combined with morphological examination was used to investigate the potential biological toxicity of As-contaminated soil based on an exposure experiment with the earthworm Eisenia fetida. The results showed that the earthworm hindgut accumulated high As concentrations resulting in injury to the intestinal epithelia, chloragogenous tissues and coelom tissues. Furthermore, As-contaminated soil induced a significant increase in betaine levels and a decrease in dimethylglycine and myo-inositol levels in the earthworms, suggesting that the osmoregulatory metabolism of the earthworms may have been disturbed. The significantly altered levels of asparagine and dimethylglycine were proposed as potential biomarkers of As-contaminated soil. The upregulation of soluble calcium-binding proteins and profilin, the downregulation of sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase, and the proteins changes identified by gene ontology enrichment analysis confirmed that the earthworms suffered from osmotic stress. In addition, the significant changes in glycine-tRNA ligase activity and coelomic tissue injury revealed that As accumulation may disturb the earthworm immune system. This work provided new insight into the proteomic and metabolic toxicity of low-level As-contaminated soil ecosystems in earthworms, extended our knowledge of dual omics and highlighted the mechanisms underlying toxicity.
