Abstract

In order to elucidate the mechanism for diastereoisomer-specific toxicity and metabolism of hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs) in biota, zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to different concentrations of individual HBCD diastereoisomers (α-, β- and γ-HBCD) in water for 7 and 21d. We examined the gene expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and cytochrome P450 (CYP), as well as ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity in zebrafish livers. Exposure to different HBCD diastereoisomers caused different expression of AHRs in zebrafish livers. For instance, 10 and 100μgL(-1) of α- and β-HBCD up-regulated the expressions of ahr1a and ahr1b in zebrafish liver, whereas 10 and 100μgL(-)(1) of γ-HBCD down-regulated them after 7d exposure. α-HBCD showed the most significant up-regulation of ahr1a and ahr1b expression, whereas γ-HBCD showed the most significant down-regulation of their expression among three HBCD diastereoisomers. Moreover, HBCDs could affect the expression of CYP1s as well as EROD activity in a gene-specific and diastereoisomer-specific manner. α-, β- and γ-HBCD inhibited cyp1a expression but enhanced the expression of cyp1b1 and cyp1c1. α-, β- and γ-HBCD showed different degrees of effect on the same CYP1 gene in a...Continue Reading
