Cadmium (Cd) is a primary environmental pollutant which causes the immune dysfunction of aquatic animals. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a key role in programmed necrosis and apoptosis of immune organs. Selenium (Se), known as an important element, can antagonize Cd toxicity in birds, but the impact of Se on common carps (Cyprinus carpio) has not been reported. To investigate the Cd-induced immunotoxicity mechanism mediated by miR-216a in splenic lymphocytes of common carp and antagonized by Se, we extracted lymphocytes from the spleen and divided them into control group, Se group (10−6 mol/L of Na2SeO3), Se + Cd group and Cd group (4 × 10−5 mol/L of CdCl2). After 6 h of incubation, AO/EB staining, Flow cytometry, qPCR and Western blot were performed. The results showed that Cd exposure caused the apoptosis (BAX, Bcl-2, Caspase 3, Caspase 9) and programmed necrosis (RIP, RIP3, MLKL) in lymphocytes, increased the expression of CYP enzymes, glycometabolism-related enzymes and production of ROS, while irritated the oxidative stress (MDA, SOD, CAT and GSH-PX), upregulated the expression of miR-216a which attenuated the levels of PI3K. However, those variations were apparently mitigated in the Se + Cd group. In short, we have proven that Cd activates oxidative stress and miR-216a-PI3K/AKT axis disorder, thus promoting apoptosis and necrosis in lymphocytes. Moreover, Se can antagonize Cd-triggered apoptosis and necrosis in lymphocytes.
