为更好地判断人工纳米材料(富勒烯,C60)对水生生物的潜在健康危害,以鲫鱼(Carassius auratus)幼鱼为受试生物,研究了低剂量C60(0.04-1.0 mg.L^-1)长期(32 d)暴露对鲫鱼的氧化伤害.结果表明,各实验组中鲫鱼幼鱼脑、肝脏、鳃组织中的还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量都发生显著降低(p〈0.05),其中1 mg.L^-1nC60/aq的暴露对鳃组织GSH含量的抑制率为14.3%,高于对鱼脑、肝脏组织中的抑制率;肝脏组织中过氧化氢酶(CAT)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性,以及鳃组织中Na^+-K^+-ATP酶活性均被显著激活,其最大活性分别是对照的121.34%(0.04 mg.L^-1暴露组)、114.80%(0.04 mg.L^-1暴露组)和348.59%(0.20mg.L^-1暴露组).实验结果揭示,长期暴露引起机体组织的氧化应激可能是水环境中C60的致毒机制之一.
To determine the potential effects of fullerenes(C60) on aquatic organism,larval Carassius auratus was exposed to low level C60(0.04-1.0 mg·L^-1) for 32 days.Then the oxidative damages in brain,liver and gill tissue of larval Carassius auratus were measured.The results showed that: compared to the control,the reduced glutathione(GSH) contents in all different tissues decreased significantly(p〈0.05),and the most serious inhibition of GSH with a 14.3% inhibition rate was found in the gill tissue of larval crucian exposed to 1 (mg·L^-1) C60 aqueous suspension;whereas the superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase(CAT) activities in liver tissue,Na^+-K^+-ATPase activities in gill tissue were stimulated significantly(p〈0.05),and the maximal activity of them were 121.34%(exposed to 0.04(mg·L^-1) C60 aqueous suspension),114.80%(exposed to 0.04(mg·L^-1) C60 aqueous suspension) and 348.59%(exposed to 0.20(mg·L^-1) C60 aqueous suspension) respectively than that of control.The experiment results indicated that oxidative damages induced by long-term exposure might play a role in the bio-toxicity of C60 to larval crucian.
