    Abstract: P-glycoprotein (Pgp), a member of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter family, can extrude toxic substances out of cells by mediating multi-xenobiotic resistance (MXR) in aquatic organisms, however, its regulation and association with MXR are still unclear. In this work, the genetic information of Pgp in freshwater crab Sinopotamon henanense (ShPgp) was revealed for the first time. ShPgp with a total of 4488 bp was cloned and analyzed, which includes 4044 bp open reading frame, 353 bp 3 & PRIME; untranslated region, and 91 bp 5 & PRIME; untranslated region. The recombinant ShPGP were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and taken for SDS-PAGE and western blot analysis. ShPGP was widely expressed in the midgut, hepatopancreas, testis, ovary, gill, hemocytes, accessory gonad and myocardium of the crabs studied. The images of immunohistochemistry indicated that ShPgp was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm and cell membrane. When the crabs were exposed to cadmium or cadmium containing quantum dots (Cd-QDs), not only the relative expression of ShPgp mRNA and the protein produced were enhanced, but also the MXR activity and ATP contents. The relative expression of target genes related to energy metabolism, detoxification and apoptosis was also determined in the carbs exposed to Cd or Cd-QDs. The results showed that bcl-2 was significantly down-regulated, while other genes were up-regulated except PPAR (not affected). However, when the Shpgp in treated crabs was interfering by knockdown technique, their apoptosis and the expression of proteolytic enzyme genes and transcription factors MTF1 and HSF1 were also elevated, while the expression of apoptosis inhibiting and fat metabolism genes were compromised. Based on the observation, we concluded that MTF1 and HSF1 were involved in gene transcription regulation of mt and MXR, respectively, while PPAR had limited regulatory effect on those genes in S. henanense. NF-KB may play a negligible role in the process of apoptosis in testes induced by cadmium or Cd-QDs. However, the detail information regarding Pgp involvement in SOD or MT, and its association with apoptosis during xenobiotics insults remain to be explored.
