Developmental exposure to a complex PAH mixture causes persistent behavioral effects in naive Fundulus heteroclitus (killifish) but not in a population of PAH-adapted killifish.
Acute exposures to some individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and complex PAH mixtures are known to cause cardiac malformations and edema in the developing fish embryo. However, the heart is not the only organ impacted by developmental PAH exposure. The developing brain is also affected, resulting in lasting behavioral dysfunction. While acute exposures to some PAHs are teratogenic...
متن کاملEffects of benzo(a)pyrene exposure on killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) aromatase activities and mRNA.
Cytochrome P450 aromatase (CYP19) plays an important role in steroid homoeostasis by converting androgens to estrogens. To evaluate the effects of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), a model carcinogenic PAH and AhR ligand, on aromatase mRNA expression and enzyme activity, adult Fundulus were exposed to water-borne BaP (1 and 10 microg/L) for 15 days, and embryos were exposed to 10 microg/L for 10 days. Effe...
متن کاملA novel aquaporin 3 in killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) is not an arsenic channel.
The Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) is a model environmental organism that has an extremely low assimilation rate of environmental arsenic. As a first step in elucidating the mechanism behind this phenomenon, we used quantitative real-time PCR to identify aquaglyceroporins (AQPs), which are arsenite transporters, in the killifish gill. A novel homolog killifish AQP3 (kfAQP3a) was clo...
متن کاملEndocrinological Studies on the Euryhaline Killifish, Fundulus Heteroclitus (Linn.) **
The common killifish of the eastern United States, Fundulus heteroclitus (Linn.), is widely employed as an experimental animal by zoologists, em-bryologists, and comparative physiologists. The late Dr. Myron Gordon8' points out that it is a hardy species of convenient size, readily caught in tidal pools but not usually bred in aquaria for purposes of raising the stock. Dr. Gordon warns against ...
متن کاملDifferential sensitivity to pro-oxidant exposure in two populations of killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus).
New Bedford Harbor (MA, U.S.A.; NBH) is a Superfund site inhabited by Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) with altered aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) signaling, leading to resistance to effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). The Ahr is a transcription factor that regulates gene expression of many Phase I and II detoxifying enzymes and...
