Arsenic (As) is a metalloid element that is ubiquitous in the marine environment and its contamination has received worldwide attention due to its potential toxicity. Arsenic can induce multiple adverse effects, such as lipid metabolism disorder, immune system dysfunction, oxidative stress and carcinogenesis, in animals. Inorganic arsenic includes two chemical forms, arsenite (As (III)) and arsenate (As (V)), in natural environment. As (V) is the dominant form in natural waters. In the present study, metabolomic and proteomic alterations were investigated in juvenile rockfish Sebastes schlegelii exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of As (V) for 14 d. The analysis of iTRAQ-based proteomics combined with untargeted NMR-based metabolomics indicated apparent toxicological effects induced by As (V) in juvenile rockfish. In details, the metabolites, including lactate, alanine, ATP, inosine and phosphocholine were significantly altered in As-treated groups. Proteomic responses suggested that As (V) could not only affected energy and primary metabolisms and signal transduction, but also influenced cytoskeleton structure in juvenile rockfish. This work suggested that the combined proteomic and metabolomic approach could shed light on the toxicological effects of pollutants in rockfish S. schlegelii.
