Bivalve Haemocyte Subpopulations: A Review

Nuria R. de la Ballina et al.

Summary: Bivalve molluscs are ecologically successful and valuable commercial resources, with their immune defense function playing a crucial role in their success. Characterization of bivalve haemocyte subpopulations and their functional responses in immune reactions is essential for understanding the bivalve immune system. Studies often combine various assays to determine differences in immune-related activities and responses to stressors such as pathogens and pollution.

Ecotoxicological effects of silver nanoparticles in marine mussels

Antonio Calisi et al.

Summary: With the increasing production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), it is important to understand their toxicological effects on different ecosystems. This study predicted the toxicity and bioaccumulation of AgNPs and silver nitrate in a marine bioindicator species. The results showed a higher toxic potential of silver nitrate compared to AgNPs, and a more efficient bioaccumulation of silver nitrate, 5 nm AgNPs, and 50 nm AgNPs.

Effects of organic mercury on Mytilus galloprovincialis hemocyte function and morphology

Maria Giovanna Parisi et al.

Summary: Filter-feeding organisms can accumulate xenobiotics and other substances in their tissues, making them useful as sentinel organisms in marine biomonitoring. The cellular immunity of bivalves can be affected by chemical contaminants, such as methylmercury, resulting in altered hemocyte morphology and function. The Mediterranean mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis, showed changes in phagocytosis, lysosomal membrane, cytotoxic molecule release, morphology, and cytoskeleton when exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of methylmercury, highlighting their sensitivity to environmental pollutants.

Immunological Responses of Marine Bivalves to Contaminant Exposure: Contribution of the -Omics Approach

Teresa Balbi et al.

Summary: Studies have identified marine bivalves as a key group for studying immunological responses to pollutant exposure, with the need for measuring immune biomarkers in hemocytes and hemolymph to evaluate overall impact. Utilizing cutting-edge technology such as -omics can reveal the complexity of immune responses and help understand the mechanisms behind immune dysfunction induced by pollutants. Integrating different approaches can contribute to knowledge on sensitivity of bivalve species to multiple stressors and their susceptibility to disease.

Interactive Immunomodulation in the Mediterranean Mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis Under Thermal Stress and Cadmium Exposure

Alessandro Nardi et al.

Summary: The study found that increased temperature and cadmium exposure may interact and have negative effects on the neuroendocrine-immune system and oxidative stress in Mediterranean mussels. In hemocytes, the stressors can affect lysosomal membrane stability and phagocytosis rate.

Pollution Biomarkers in the Framework of Marine Biodiversity Conservation: State of Art and Perspectives

Maria Giulia Lionetto et al.

Summary: Biomarkers are effective tools for detecting exposure and assessing the impact of pollutants on marine biodiversity. They can be used for monitoring pollution threat in marine environments, especially in protected areas, and for evaluating the health status of endangered species. Further development is needed for omics-based biomarkers, extending biomarker studies to more endangered species, and developing guidelines for conservation policies and management.
