Pesticide residues have become a healthy threaten of human beings. Among the pesticides, many of them have neurotoxicity. Extracellular Regulated Protein Kinases (ERK) pathway is an important signaling pathway that regulates a variety of downstream progress. In this work, peach (PRUNUS persica) and cherry (PRUNUS cerasus) were sampled from over 300 plantations in China and assessed for the residue risk. In mechanism studies, high‐risk pesticide Avermectin showed a high activity inhibiting three neurotoxicity models, SH‐SY5Y, PC‐12 and SK‐N‐SH cells. At protein levels, ERK pathway proteins and their downstream proteins were obviously down‐regulated. Moreover, the effects of low‐dose Avermectin can be accumulated at protein levels in the low‐dose long‐term chronic toxicology detection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
