520 |a Heavy metal contamination severely affects the aquatic environment and organisms. Copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd) are two of the most common heavy metal contaminants that impair the survival, development, and reproduction of aquatic organisms. With the growth of agriculture and industry, there is a possibility of heavy metal pollution in Coregonus ussuriensis Berg's water source. However, there are no published studies on the toxicity to C. ussuriensis. Acute toxicity experiments in C. ussuriensis revealed the 96-h median lethal concentrations of copper and cadmium to be 0.492 mg·L-1 (95% confidence interval: 0.452-0.529) and 1.548 mg·L-1 (95% confidence interval: 1.434-1.657), respectively, and safe concentrations of 4.92 µg·L-1 and 15.48 µg·L-1, respectively. C. ussuriensis was then treated for 96 h with Cu (20% of 96 h LC50), Cd (20% of 96 h LC50), and a combination of Cu and Cd (20% of Cu 96 h LC50 + 20% of Cd 96 h LC50). The histological damage caused by the three different exposure modes to the liver and gills of C. ussuriensis was verified using hematoxylin and eosin staining. All three exposure modes caused different degrees of vacuolization, nuclear consolidation, and necrosis in the liver tissue of C. ussuriensis and edema, hyperplasia, laminar fusion, and epithelial elevation in the gill tissue compared with the reference group. The severity of the damage increased with increasing exposure time. Anti-oxidant activity in the gill and liver tissues were measured using enzyme activity assay kits to reflect oxidative stress induced by copper and cadmium exposure alone and in combination. The enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH) were substantially higher than those in the reference groups. However, the activities of the enzymes decreased with increasing exposure time. Malondialdehyde (MDA) activity significantly increased during exposure in relation to that in the reference group. Analysis of immune gene expression in C. ussuriensis gill and liver tissues was executed using real-time inverse transcript polymerase chain response (RT-PCR). The expression levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin one beta (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were positively correlated with exposure time and were significantly upregulated with increasing exposure time. Metallothionein (MT) gene expression levels were significantly upregulated in the short term after exposure compared to the reference group but decreased with increasing exposure time. Our results indicate that exposure to aqueous copper and cadmium solutions, either alone or in combination, causes histopathological damage, oxidative stress, and immunotoxicity in C. ussuriensis gill and liver tissue. This study investigated the toxic effects of copper and cadmium on C. ussuriensis to facilitate the monitoring of heavy metals in water sources for healthy aquaculture
