This study investigated the enantioselective bioaccumulation and detoxification mechanisms of mandipropamid isomers in earthworms. The results showed that detoxification systems play an essential role in the stress response to mandipropamid exposure, with earthworms being more sensitive to S-(+)-mandipropamid than R-(-)-mandipropamid. Additionally, differentially expressed genes related to detoxification pathways were identified, providing insights for remediating chiral pollutants.
As a novel chiral amide fungicide, the enantioselective behaviors of mandipropamid in the soil environment are unclear. Furthermore, there is a need to understand the stress response mechanisms of soil organisms exposed to mandipropamid isomers. Therefore, the selective bioaccumulation of mandipropamid isomers and detoxification mechanisms of earthworms (Eisenia fetida) were investigated in this study. Our results suggested that the enantioselective bioaccumulation of mandipropamid in earthworms occurred with the preferential enrichment of S-(+)-isomer. The activities of detoxification enzymes, such as cytochrome P450 (CYP450), glutathione-Stransferases (GST), and carboxylesterase (CarE), changed significantly upon exposure to S-(+)-and R-(-)-mandipropamid (particularly for CYP450 and GST). A transcriptome analysis revealed that more differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were observed under S-(+)-isomer exposure (15,798) than those under R-(-)-isomer exposure (12,222), as compared to the control group. These DEGs were mainly enriched in bile secretion and thyroid hormone signaling pathways, which were related to the detoxification process in earthworms. Moreover, the 20 DEGs, which exhibited the most profound changes (such as CYP2 and CYP3A4) in these pathways, were screened, clustered, and observed to be mainly involved in regulating the detoxification function of earthworm cells. These results indicated that detoxification systems played an essential role in the stress response to mandipropamid exposure. Additionally, earthworms were more sensitive to the stress induced by S-(+)-mandipropamid than that induced by R-(-)-mandipropamid. This is the first study to elucidate the mandipropamid detoxification mechanism of earthworms at the enantiomer level, which can be beneficial for remediating chiral pollutants.
