Abstract:
:The present study investigated the effects of 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (DDE) on the thyroid and steroid-metabolizing system in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr. Fish were exposed to waterborne DDE and thyroxine (T4), both singly and in combination, for 5 d. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSHbeta), T4 deiodinase (T4ORD), thyroid receptors (TRalpha and TRbeta), and insulin-like growth factor type 1 receptor (IGF-1R) were analyzed using quantitative (real-time) polymerase chain reaction in liver, brain, and kidney, whereas cytochrome P4503A (CYP3A) and pregnane X receptor (PXR) mRNA levels were analyzed only in the liver. Exposure to DDE and T4, both singly and in combination, inhibited TSHbeta expression in the brain. The DDE induced TSHbeta in the liver, and T4 inhibited TSHbeta in the liver and kidney, both singly and in combination with DDE. The DDT-metabolite DDE induced T4ORD expression in the kidney and liver, and combined exposure with T4 inhibited T4ORD expression in the brain, kidney, and liver. The IGF-1R and TRalpha expressions were induced by DDE and T4 singly in the brain, whereas combined exposure with both compounds did not affect IGF-1R and TRd transcript levels. Whereas T4 inhibited TRbeta expression in the liver, exposure to DDE, both singly and in combination with T4, induced TRbeta transcript levels in the liver. Exposure to T4 and DDE, both singly and in combination, resulted in a parallel pattern of CYP3A and PXR mRNA induction in the liver. These results indicate that DDE alters thyroid hormone-dependent genes and hepatic CYP3A and PXR levels. The hepatic modulation of CYP3A and PXR transcript levels by DDE represents a novel aspect of DDE toxicity that, to our knowledge, has not been demonstrated previously in fish. Therefore, the present study demonstrates some possible physiological and endocrine consequences from exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals for salmon parr during smoltification.
