- Previous reports suggested that non-dioxin-like (NDL) PCB153 effects on cytochrome P450 3A (Cyp3a) expression in Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) gills differed between F0 generation fish from a PCB site (New Bedford Harbor; NBH) and a reference site (Scorton Creek; SC). Here, we examined effects of PCB153, dioxin-like (DL) PCB126, or a mixture of both, on Cyp3a56 mRNA in killifish generations removed from the wild, without environmental PCB exposures. PCB126 effects in liver and gills differed between populations, as expected. Gill Cyp3a56 was not affected by either congener in NBH F2 generation fish, but was induced by PCB153 in SC F1 fish, with females showing a greater response. PCB153 did not affect Cyp3a56 in liver of either population. Results suggest a heritable resistance to NDL-PCBs in killifish from NBH, in addition to that reported for DL PCBs. Induction of Cyp3a56 in gills may be a biomarker of exposure to NDL PCBs in fish populations that are not resistant to PCBs.

- Cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) is a key enzyme in the metabolism of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in animals, and a biomarker for environmental PAH exposure. The common antimycotic imidazole drug clotrimazole (CLO) has been detected in the aquatic environment and likely co-exists with BaP. Like BaP, CLO can bind to CYP1A enzymes and can act as a CYP1A inhibitor. Co-exposure of BaP with CLO significantly delayed BaP elimination in a fish liver cell line (PLHC-1). Intracellular BaP concentration was 2.4 times higher after 6h in co-exposed cells, compared to cells exposed to BaP alone. Higher BaP concentrations in cells co-exposed to CLO positively correlated with CLO dose, indicating CLO-mediated delays in BaP clearance. After 24h, BaP was undetectable irrespective of CLO co-exposure. In contrast, intracellular CLO concentrations remained constant over the 72h experimental period. Co-exposure of BaP with CLO caused synergistic and time-dependent increases on the CYP1A biomarker both on CYP1A mRNA levels and on CYP1A enzyme activity, in accordance with an apparent delayed BaP elimination in the presence of CLO. These results indicate a toxicokinetic interaction between BaP and CLO on the CYP1A enzyme that delays metabolic clearance of BaP.

- Toxicokinetic interactions with catabolic cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes can inhibit chemical elimination pathways and cause synergistic mixture effects. We have created a mathematical bottom-up model for a synergistic mixture effect where we fit a multidimensional function to a given data set using an auxiliary nonadditive approach. The toxicokinetic model is based on the data from a previous study on a fish cell line, where the CYP1A enzyme activity was measured over time after exposure to various combinations of the aromatic hydrocarbon β-naphthoflavone and the azole nocodazole. To describe the toxicokinetic mechanism in this pathway and how that affects the CYP1A biomarker, the model uses ordinary differential equations. Local sensitivity and identifiability analyses revealed that all the 10 parameters estimated in the model were identified uniquely while fitting the model to the data for measuring the CYP1A enzyme activity. The model has a good prediction power and is a promising tool to test the synergistic toxicokinetic interactions between different chemicals.
