Superoxide-hydrogen peroxide (S-HP), triggered by Val16Ala-SOD2 human polymorphism, may influence the risk of depression. Therefore, it is plausible that higher basal S-anion levels and chronic inflammatory states associated with the VV-SOD2 genotype can negatively modulate the stress response associated with resilience in various species, from primitive species to humans. To test this hypothesis, Eisenia fetida earthworms were exposed for 24 h to 30 nM rotenone, which causes mitochondrial dysfunction by generating high S-anion levels (known as the “VV-like phenotype”), and 10 μM porphyrin, a SOD2-like compound, which generates elevated HP levels (known as the “AA-like phenotype”). The results suggested that both S-anion and HP acted as signaling molecules, differentially altering the immune function and acute hydric stressful response. Although the AA-like phenotype improved the immune and stress response efficiencies, the VV-like phenotype showed a downregulated expression of the toll-like receptor (EaTLR, JX898685) and antimicrobial peptide (AMP) (AF060552) genes, which triggered the impairment of encapsulation and earthworms extracellular trap (EET) processes used by earthworms to trap and destroy microorganisms. When exposed to adverse environments and dangerous hydric stress, VV-like earthworms exhibited an impulsive behavior and failed to quickly identify and migrate to a protected environment, unlike control earthworms and AA-like earthworms. All results corroborated that the S-anion imbalance could concomitantly induce alterations in immune function and stress behavior related to earthworm survival. From a human perspective, this information may corroborate the potential specific role of superoxide anion in the modulation of the stress response, resilience, and risk of depression.
