Due to the industrial discharges, cadmium (Cd) has been one of typical heavy metal pollutants in the Bohai Sea. Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarwn is frequently used for pollution biomonitoring and consists of several pedigrees, of which White and Zebra clams are the dominant pedigrees along the Bohai Sea coast. However, limited attention has been paid on the differential biological effects in different pedigrees of clam to heavy metals. In this work, the proteome profiling analysis was performed to reveal the differential proteomic responses in White and Zebra clams to Cd exposure (200 mu g/L) for 48 h, followed by bioinformatical analysis. The proteomic investigations showed that Cd treatment induced more differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in White clam samples than in Zebra clam samples. Based on the DEPs, we found that some key biological processes consisting of immune response and metabolism were commonly induced in both two pedigrees of clam. Uniquely, some processes related to cellular signaling, proteolysis and energy production were enhanced in Cd-treated White clam samples. Comparatively, the depletion in some unique processes on proteolysis and energy production was elicited in Cd-treated Zebra clam samples, as well as disorder in gene expression. Moreover, Cd exposure caused increases in CAT and POD activities in White clam samples and decreases in SOD and CAT activities in Zebra clams samples, which were consistent with the proteomic responses. Overall, these findings confirmed the differential biological effects of White and Zebra clams to Cd treatment, suggesting that the pedigree of animal should be taken into consideration in ecotoxicology studies.
