  • Description:
    Although marine and coastal environments which are contaminated with xenobiotic organic compounds often become hypoxic during the summer, the interactive effects of hypoxia and xenobiotic exposure on marine species such as teleost fishes remain poorly understood. The expression and activity of monooxygenase enzyme cytochrome P450‐1A (CYP1A) in fishes are upregulated by exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), whereas they are down‐regulated during hypoxia exposure. We investigated the interactive effects of hypoxia and PCB co‐exposure on hepatic CYP1A expression in Atlantic croaker and on potential regulators of CYP1A. Croaker were exposed to hypoxia (1.7 mg/L dissolved oxygen), 3,3′,4,4′‐tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB 77, dose: 2 and 8 µg/g body weight), and Aroclor 1254 (a common PCB mixture, dose: 0.5 and 1 µg/g body weight), alone and in combination for 4 weeks. PCB 77 exposure markedly increased hepatic CYP1A mRNA and protein expression, and ethoxyresorufin‐O‐deethylase (EROD, an indicator of CYP1A enzyme) activity and increased endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) protein expression. PCB 77 treatment also increased interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β, a cytokine) mRNA levels and protein carbonyl (PC, an indicator of reactive oxygen species, ROS) contents. These marked PCB 77‐ and Aroclor 1254‐induced increases in CYP1A mRNA levels and EROD activity were significantly attenuated by co‐exposure to hypoxia, whereas the increases in hepatic eNOS protein and IL‐1β mRNA expression, and PC contents were augmented by hypoxia co‐exposure. The results suggest that biotransformation of organic xenobiotics by CYP1A is reduced in fish during co‐exposure to hypoxia and is accompanied by alterations in eNOS, ROS, and IL‐1β levels.
