چکیده
The sequence of cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) cDNA of medaka (Oryzias latipes) was determined, and its messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) regulation by beta-naphthoflavone (betaNF) was evaluated. The determined cDNA sequence contained 2,349 base pairs (bp), and the open reading frame contained a total of 1,563 bp encoding 521 predicted amino acids. The induction of CYP1A mRNA in medaka was evaluated using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The concentration-dependent induction of CYP1A mRNA in the liver was observed after exposure to betaNF at nominal concentrations of 20, 100, and 500 microg/L for 2 d. Time-dependent changes of CYP1A mRNA levels were also observed in the liver, gill, gut, and caudal fin tissues of medaka exposed to 100 microg/L of betaNF for 7 d. Our results showed that the degree of CYP1A mRNA induction in the gill, gut, and caudal fin after exposure to betaNF was relatively higher than that in the liver, possibly because of low basal levels of CYP1A mRNA in the gill, gut, and caudal fin of nonexposed fish. The induction of medaka CYP1A mRNA was also observed after exposure to an environmental sample, landfill leachate. The CYP1A mRNA inductions in the gill, gut, and caudal fin were also higher than that in the liver as shown in the betaNF-treated groups. These results show that CYP1A mRNA determination in the gill, gut, and caudal fin, which are in direct contact with the polluted water, may become a useful method for monitoring CYP1A-inducible chemicals.

Fast skeletal muscle myosin heavy chain gene cluster of medaka Oryzias latipes enrolled in temperature adaptation.
To disclose mechanisms involved in temperature acclimation of fish muscle, we subjected eurythermal fish of medaka Oryzias latipes to cloning of myosin heavy chain genes (MYHs). We cloned cDNAs encoding fast skeletal muscle myosin heavy chain (MYH) isoforms from cDNA libraries of medaka acclimated to 10 and 30 degrees C and observed that different MYH cDNA clones are expressed in the two temper...
متن کاملCloning and serotonergic regulation of RING finger protein38 (rnf38) in the brain of medaka (Oryzias latipes)
Serotonin (5-HT) is a key regulator of mood and sexual behaviors. 5-HT reuptake inhibitors have been used as antidepressants. Really interesting new gene (RING) finger proteins have been associated with 5-HT regulation but their role remains largely unknown. Some RING finger proteins are involved in the serotonergic system, therefore, we speculate that the gene expression of RING finger protein...

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are resistant to environmental degradation and can cause multitude of health problems. Cytochrome P450 1A (Cyp1a) is often up-regulated by POPs through the activation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) pathway and is thus usually used as a biomarker for xenobiotics exposure. To develop a convenient in vivo tool to monitor xenobiotic contamination in the wate...
متن کاملA novel membrane guanylyl cyclase expressed in medaka (Oryzias latipes) intestine.
A novel membrane guanylyl cyclase (GC), OlGC9, was identified in the intestine of the medaka fish Oryzias latipes by the isolation of a full-length cDNA clone (3783 bp). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that OlGC9 belongs in the enterotoxin/guanylin receptor membrane GC subfamily. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of OlGC9 were highly homologous to those of OlGC6, another enterotox...
متن کاملNanosecond Pulsed Electric Field Suppresses Development of Eyes and Germ Cells through Blocking Synthesis of Retinoic Acid in Medaka (Oryzias latipes)
Application of nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEFs) has attracted rising attention in various scientific fields including medical, pharmacological, and biological sciences, although its effects and molecular mechanisms leading to the effects remain poorly understood. Here, we show that a single, high-intensity (10-30 kV/cm), 60-ns PEF exposure affects gene expression and impairs developme...
