原油WSF对三种海洋鱼类肝微粒体EROD活性的诱导和恢复的比较

研究了实验室条件下原油水溶性组分(WSF)暴露对黑鲷、黄鳍鲷和褐菖鲉肝微粒体EROD活性的剂量-效应,时间-效应和恢复过程。实验结果表明,在剂量诱导实验中,褐菖鲉肝EROD活性在原油WSF浓度为50μg/dm3时呈现生物统计学上的显著差异,而黑鲷和黄鳍鲷肝EROD活性在75μg/dm3时才呈现生物统计学上的显著差异;褐菖鲉肝EROD活性诱导倍数最高,但黑鲷的诱导浓度范围较广。在时间诱导实验中,在40μg/dm3原油WSF暴露下黄鳍鲷肝EROD活性在2 d时首先呈现显著差异;三种鱼肝EROD活性均在第4天达到最高,并呈现显著性变化,此后随着暴露时间的延长而逐渐下降并接近对照组水平。在恢复实验中三种鱼肝EROD活性下降并恢复到对照组水平。研究结果表明:对于石油污染物,黑鲷、黄鳍鲷和褐菖鲉肝EROD活性都可以作为污染生化效应监测指标,然而就三种鱼类比较而言,褐菖鲉最敏感,更适合于作为石油类污染及其生化效应,尤其是低剂量效应的监测生物。

苯并[a]芘(BaP)对褐菖鲉(Sebasticus marmoratus)肝CYP1A1酶活性、基因表达及蛋白表达的影响

为了了解苯并[a]芘(BaP)对鱼类细胞色素P4501A1(CYP1A1)表达的影响,以褐菖鲉(Sebasticus marmoratus)为实验材料,采用体内实验,研究其在经过不同浓度(0.1、1、10、20、50mg/kg鱼体重量)的BaP诱导后,鱼体肝脏研究CYP1A1基因表达的情况,筛选出后续时间-效应实验中BaP注射的最佳浓度,研究BaP诱导6h、12h、1d、3d、7d后(质量浓度为20mg/kg鱼体重量)鱼体肝脏CYP1A1酶活性、基因表达和蛋白表达的情况。结果表明:剂量-效应实验中,20mg/kg鱼体重量为最佳浓度,此浓度下,基因表达在各组中变化最显著。时间-效应实验中,较空白对照组而言,染毒6h、12h和1d后,EROD酶活性显著增加。3d后开始下降,与对照组相比变化不大,7d后酶活性又发生上调。半定量RT-PCR结果表明,各染毒组与对照组相比,CYP1A1基因表达量都发生了上调,呈现先上升后下降的趋势。其中,6h和12h组相对表达量极显著增加,1d后开始下降且与3d和7d组相比变化不明显。Western blot结果表明,蛋白表达量在染毒12h后表现出显著的诱导效应,随着时间的延长略有回落,但与对照组相比仍有显著性差异。研究表明:BaP对褐菖鲉CYP1A1具有较强的诱导作用。一定质量浓度的BaP注射于褐菖鲉不同的时间后,能诱导褐菖鲉活体EROD酶活性、CYP1A1基因m RNA表达及蛋白表达,并随着时间的延长呈现先诱导后抑制的趋势。这说明BaP作为诱导剂对CYP1A1酶活性和蛋白表达的作用机制可能与调控CYP1A1的转录水平有关。     

基于综合生物标志物响应评价苯并芘对脊尾白虾(Exopalaemon carinicauda)的毒性效应

苯并[a]芘(Ba P)是一类典型多环芳烃(PAHs)污染物。为了定量评价Ba P对脊尾白虾(Exopalaemon carinicauda)的毒性效应,采用水体暴露实验,研究了脊尾白虾肝胰脏、肌肉组织的5种生物标志物(EROD、GST、SOD、CAT、MDA)对Ba P暴露的响应,并应用综合生物标志物响应(IBR)定量评价了Ba P对肝胰脏、肌肉组织的毒性差异。结果显示:肝胰脏、肌肉组织的EROD、GST、SOD、CAT活性整体呈现诱导-抑制的规律性变化,除了0.05μg/L实验组CAT外,其余各实验组肝胰脏组织生物标志物活性在实验结束时均显著高于对照组(P0.05),除了0.45μg/L实验组EROD、CAT外,其余各浓度组肌肉组织生物标志物活性在实验结束时均与对照组无显著性差异(P0.05),MDA含量呈现持续上升的趋势,在实验结束时各实验组均显著高于对照组(P0.05);IBR值存在时间效应和剂量效应。研究结果表明,肝胰脏、肌肉组织对Ba P的暴露响应存在差异性,肝胰脏生物标志物综合应激活性高于肌肉组织。

EROD activities of liver in Mugil so-iuy exposed to benzo (a)pyrene, pyrene and their mixture

Abstract-The effects on hepatic EROD (7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase) in Mugil so-iuy exposedto benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), pyrene and their mixtures of equal concentration were investigated, at con-centrations of 0.1, 1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 50.0 μg/dm~3, in experimental condition. Time-effects and dose-response of the biochemical indexs were observed. The results showed that the hepatic EROD activitieswere induced by the exposure of BaP, pyrene and their mixtures at high concentration. Dose-responseconnections were that the hepatic EROD activities were elevated with increasing concentration of the pol-lutants. The combined effect of BaP and pyrene at 1:1 concentration ratio on hepatic EROD activity wasantagonism.     

菲、芘、苯并(a)芘单一暴露及分别与α-萘黄酮(ANF)联合暴露对海水青鳉(Oryzias melastigma)胚胎发育毒性效应的比较研究

为了解和探讨3~5环PAHs对海水鱼类胚胎发育的毒性及作用方式,比较研究了菲(phenanthrene,Phe)、芘(pyrene,Py)、苯并(a)芘(benzo(a)pyrene,BaP)单一暴露和三者各自与α-萘黄酮(α-naphthoflavone,ANF)联合暴露对海水青鳉(marine medaka, Oryzias melastigma)胚胎发育的毒性效应。胚胎体内EROD活性、发育畸形、孵化率和心律等毒性指标被测定,结果显示:Phe,Py和BaP对海水青鳉胚胎体内EROD活性的诱导能力大小为BaP>Py>Phe,各化合物对EROD诱导与发育畸形之间的关系较为复杂,除Phe所引起的EROD诱导与畸形指数之间呈显著相关(r=0.95,p=0.015)外,Py和BaP均无相关性;在100 μg/dm3 ANF影响下,CYP1A活性诱导被抑制,但胚胎发育的畸形指数被显著提高,ANF分别与Phe,Py和BaP的联合暴露对胚胎发育呈潜在的协同作用。本文研究初步表明,3~5环PAHs化合物对海水青鳉胚胎发育的毒性作用方式可能不同;CYP1A活性抑制在PAHs混合物对海水青鳉胚胎发育的毒性作用过程中未起到缓解毒性的作用,CYP1A抑制剂与PAH型CYP1A诱导剂的混合物对鱼类胚胎发育具有潜在的协同毒性作用,现有的PAHs混合物毒性风险评价方法可能低估了实际环境中PAHs的风险;海水青鳉早期生活阶段的心脏发育对PAHs混合物暴露较为敏感,可推荐其作为生物标志物指示PAHs或溢油污染。     

久效磷对单环刺螠体内几种酶活性影响的初步研究

运用冰冻切片技术和酶组织化学的方法研究了长期暴露于不同质量浓度久效磷(0,50,100,150ng/L)下的单环刺螠(Urechisunicinctus)体内的乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)、细胞色素C氧化酶(CCO)、碱性磷酸酶(AKP)的活性变化。实验表明,AChE在单环刺螠的体壁上呈现出较强的酶活性,活性位点处为红棕色的颗粒沉淀、并随久效磷胁迫浓度的提高显色越来越深;消化道切片上基本上没有AChE的活性。CCO在单环刺螠的体壁及肠道上都呈现出较强的酶活性,活性位点显示为棕色;肠道上,不同质量浓度组由低到高其CCO活性位点依次增多、显色也依次加深。低质量浓度久效磷(<150ng/L)胁迫对单环刺螠体内的AKP活性没有明显的影响。     

苯并(a)芘和芘对梭鱼肝脏谷胱甘肽过氧化酶活性的影响

在实验生态条件下，浓度范围0.1-50μg/L的苯并（a)芘和芘的短期暴露造成梭鱼肝脏GPx活性先抑制后诱导的效应，相同的污染物，高浓度组对GPx活性的抑制大于低浓度组，出现GPx活性诱导的时间早于低浓度组；相同浓度下，苯并（a）芘对GPx活的作用大于芘，这间接反映了苯并（a）芘和芘的毒性大小，这些结果说明梭鱼肝脏GPx活性与苯并（a）芘和芘暴露有一定的相关性，可以作为海洋环境污染监测的一种生物标志物。     

无机砷As(V)对牟氏角毛藻(Chaetoceros mulleri)生长、叶绿素a含量及抗氧化活力的影响

研究了无机砷As(V)胁迫对牟氏角毛藻(Chaetoceros mulleri)培育水体中磷酸盐含量、藻细胞密度、叶绿素a含量及其抗氧化活性的影响,As(V)浓度梯度为0、7.3、10.2、23.9、45.2和114.0μg/L(分别记为Ctr和V1—V5),取样时间为2、3、5、7、14和21 d。结果表明,试验条件下适当浓度As(V)暴露会促进牟氏角毛藻对磷酸盐的吸收速度,而较低浓度暴露时则反之。所有处理组中仅V2组在14d时藻细胞密度增至最大值71×104ind./m L,其它处理组在整个试验期间藻细胞密度变化均不显著(P0.01)。2 d时各组藻细胞叶绿素a含量均显著降低,且均显著低于对照;5 d时V5组显著升高(达102.16μg/108cell),而其它处理组却仍明显低于其初始值;21 d时,除V1组外各处理组均明显高于对照(50.63μg/10~8cell)。在As(V)暴露2 d时,处理组GSH含量均明显低于对照(3.23μg/10~8cell)(P0.01),且随着As(V)暴露浓度的升高呈先升高后逐渐降低的趋势。As(V)暴露对牟氏角毛藻GSH含量具有显著的抑制作用。谷胱甘肽还原酶活性随着As(V)浓度升高基本呈降低趋势。As(V)胁迫可能会抑制牟氏角毛藻的光合作用和抗氧化活性,长期暴露还会对其生长繁殖造成影响。     

Effects of tributyltin at environmental levels on monooxygenase system of digestive gland in hard clam Meretrix meretrix

The effects on ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase （EROD）, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and NADH cytochrorne b5 reductase activities of digestive gland in Meretrix meretrix exposed to tributyltin （TBT） at environmental levels （0.1,1.0,10.0 ng/dm as stannum concentration）,in experimental condition, were evaluated. The EROD, NADH cytochrorne b5 reductase activities were significantly inhibited after exposure to 10.0 ng/dm^3 TBT for 8 and 20 d, the NADPH cytochrorne c reductase activities were significantly inhibited after exposure to 0.1,1.0 and 10.0 ng/dm TBT for 8 d and to 1.0 and 10.0 ng/dm for 20 d, as compared with the matched control, while NADH cytochrorne b5 reductases and NADPH cytochrome c reductase activities were induced after exposure to 10.0 ng/dm^3 TBT for 2 d. The EROD activity in the 10 ng/dm^3 group,and the NADH cytochrome b5 reductases activities in 1.0 and 10.0 ng/dm groups, were significantly induced when transferred to clean recovery tanks for 7 d. The three enzymic activities in the clams exposed to TBT were recovered to the level corresponding to that of the control group after transfer to clean recovery tanks for 20 d. NADPH cytochrome c reductase activity in Meretrix meretrix seems to be more sensitive to exposure of TBT than that of the EROD and NADH cytochrome b5 reductases. The results suggest that induction and inhibition by TBT to the monooxygenase system enzymic activity in Meretrix meretrix would simultaneously exist. The enzymic activities were inhibited by exposure for a long time. The results suggest that inhibition of the monooxygenase system should be an indication of the exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of TBT for a long time.

Modulation of trout 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity by estradiol and octylphenol.

Estrogens appear to have a modulating effect on the expression of cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) in fish. A number of in vivo studies have demonstrated that hepatic CYP1A expression in females decrease during sexual maturation when plasma levels of 17 beta-estradiol (E2) increase, or in cases when the fish in injected with E2. Since a number of environmental contaminants have weak estrogen-like activities, the question arises if these compounds are able to modulate CYP1A expression as well. In the present study, we used in vitro monolayer cultures of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, liver cells to compare concentration-dependent (10(-9) to 10(-5) M) effects of the natural steroid E2 and the non-steroidal xenoestrogen 4-tert-octylphenol (OP) on CYP1A-catalyzed 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity. The concentration dependency of the estrogenic activity of the two test compounds was assessed by determination of hepatocellular vitellogenin (Vg) release into the culture medium. Exposure of hepatocytes to E2 concentrations of 10(-8) M and higher led to a significant inhibition of basal cellular EROD activity. On the contrary, exposure to OP did not result in an inhibition of EROD activity, even at OP concentrations (10(-6) M, 10(-5) M) which were associated with a significant induction of Vg synthesis.     

Effects of beta-naphthoflavone on hepatic biotransformation and glutathione biosynthesis in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides)

We are investigating the effects of in vivo exposure of prototypical enzyme inducing agents on hepatic biotransformation enzyme expression in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), a predatory game fish found throughout the United States and Canada. The current study targeted those genes involved in biotransformation and oxidative stress that may be regulated by Ah-receptor-dependent pathways. Exposure of bass to beta-naphthoflavone (beta-NF, 66 mg/kg, i.p.) elicited a 7-9-fold increase in hepatic microsomal cytochrome P4501A-dependent ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activities, but did not affect cytosolic GST catalytic activities toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) or 5-androstene-3,17-dione (ADI). Glutathione S-transferase A (GST-A) mRNA expression exhibited a transient, but non-significant increase following exposure to beta-NF, and generally tracked the minimal changes observed in GST-CDNB activities. Expression of the mRNA encoding glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC), the rate-limiting enzyme in glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis, was increased 1.7-fold by beta-NF. Changes in GCLC mRNA expression were paralleled by increases in intracellular GSH. In summary, largemouth bass hepatic CYP1A-dependent and GSH biosynthetic pathways, and to a lesser extent GST, are responsive to exposure to beta-NF.     

三氯异氰尿酸对剑尾鱼(Xiphophorus helleri)毒性及其抗氧化酶影响

采用生物毒性测试与评价方法对常用消毒剂药物三氯异氰尿酸（Trichloroisocyanuric acid,TCCA）对剑尾鱼的急性毒性及其Ⅰ、Ⅱ相代谢酶活性影响进行了研究。结果表明,TCCA对剑尾鱼的96hLG0为2．15mg／L。TCCA对剑尾鱼肝脏还原型谷光苷肽（GSH）、谷胱苷肽硫转酶（GST）和7。乙氧基异吩恶唑酮-脱乙基酶（EROD）都存在诱导作用。雌雄个体在GST和EROD的诱导响应时间有显著差异性,其中雄性个体GST对TCCA暴露响应比雌性个体敏感。     

Development of hepatic CYP1A and blood vitellogenin in eel (Anguilla anguilla) for use as biomarkers in the Thames Estuary, UK.

The potential of eel (Anguilla anguilla) as a monitoring species for the Thames Estuary, UK, was examined. Hepatic cytochrome P4501A [7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity] and blood vitellogenin (Western analysis) were investigated as biomarkers of exposure to, respectively, organic contaminants and to contaminants showing estrogenic activity. Hepatic microsomal EROD activities in A. anguilla from seven sites in the Thames Estuary in May 1998 varied three-fold (111 +/- 24 to 355 +/- 42 pmol min-1 mg protein-1) (mean +/- S.E.M.) and showed correlation with salinity; however, the latter relationship was not maintained at other times of the year. The range of EROD activities was two- to eight-fold higher than the 37 +/- 8 pmol min-1 mg-1 for A. anguilla from the relatively clean Tamar Estuary. beta-Naphthoflavone treatment (5 mg kg-1 wet wt.; 2 days) of Thames A. anguilla produced a two-fold increase in hepatic microsomal EROD activity. Comparing the Thames EROD data with those for A. anguilla from well-characterised contaminated sites in the Netherlands (Van der Oost, R., Goks?yr, A., Celander, M., Heida, H., & Vermeulen, N. P. E. 1996. Aquatic Toxicology, 36, 189-222), the Thames is suggested to be moderately impacted by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and related contaminants. 17-beta-Estradiol treatment produced the appearance of a plasma protein of 211 Kd app. mol. wt. (recognised by antibodies to vitellogenin of Morone saxatilis), but putative vitellogenin could not be detected in A. anguilla from selected sites in the Thames Estuary.     

Inhibitory effects of divalent metal ions on liver microsomal 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity of leaping mullet

The purpose of the present study was to elucidate in vitro effects of Hg(2+), Zn(2+), Ni(2+) and Cd(2+) on cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) dependent EROD activities in leaping mullet liver microsomes. Fish captured from the most polluted part of Izmir Bay, had highly elevated EROD activities, and induced CYP1A1 protein levels as determined by Western blotting. Although all of the metal ions caused inhibition of the initial velocity of the reaction, Hg(2+) and Cd(2+) exhibited much higher inhibitory effect at lower concentrations and they were evidently more potent inhibitors than others. The inhibitor concentration giving 50% inhibition (IC(50) values) of Zn(2+), Ni(2+), Cd(2+) and Hg(2+) of initial EROD activity were 107, 16, 1.3 and 0.15 micromolar, respectively. Glutathione (GSH) at 0.5 mM final concentration, completely reversed Ni(2+) and Cd(2+) inhibition of EROD activity indicating the protective action of GSH.
