Responses of JNK signaling pathway to the toxic dinoflagellate Prorocentrum lima in the mussel Perna viridis

Diarrheic shellfish poisoning (DSP) toxins are widely distributed over the world, causing diarrhea, vomiting, and even tumor in human. However, bivalves, the main carrier of the DSP toxins, have some tolerant mechanisms to DSP toxins, though it remains unclear. In this study, we scrutinized the role...

Exposure of P. lima activated caspase-3 and induced apoptosis in gills but did not induce caspase-3 and apoptosis in hemocytes. The short-term exposure of P. lima could activate Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway in hemocytes (6 h), while longer-term exposure could induce glutathione reductase (GR) expression in hemocytes (96 h) and glutathione-S-transferases (GST) in gills (96 h).
