In this study, the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) gene was cloned from the turbot Scophthalmus maximus for the first time using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends approaches. The amino acid sequences were analyzed with corresponding software programs. The cDNA of CYP3A was 1,969 bp in length, which contained a 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of 34 bp, a 3'-UTR of 404 bp and an open reading frame of 1,530 bp encoding a predicted protein of 509 amino acids (GenBank accession No. JN216889). The deduced protein had a molecular weight of 58.09 kDa and an isoelectric point of 5.75. Amino acid sequence alignment indicated that turbot CYP3A shared 60-67% homology with other fish species. It consists of a signal peptide, six conservative substrate recognition sites (SRS 1-6) and the conserved heme-binding motif FXXGXXXCXG in all CYP3As. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis indicated that turbot CYP3A mRNA was widely expressed in liver, kidney, gill, muscle, stomach, intestine, gallbladder and spleen, with the highest level in liver and the lowest in muscle. After oral administration of sulfamethazine, CYP3A expression in all experimental groups enhanced compared with control, and the expression varied with administration time. It suggested that CYP3A expression could be induced by sulfamethazine. Our findings provided molecular characterization and expression profile of turbot CYP3A, and revealed the important role that turbot CYP3A played in drug metabolisms.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary AFB on growth performance, health, intestinal microbiota communities and AFB tissue residues of turbot and evaluate the mitigation efficacy of yeast cell wall extract, Mycosorb (YCWE) toward AFB contaminated dietary treatments. Nine experimental diets were formulated: Diet 1 (control): AFB free; Diets 2-5 or Diets 6-9: 20 μg AFB/kg diet or 500 μg AFB/kg diet + 0%, 0.1%, 0.

Sentinel fish hornyhead turbot (Pleuronichthysverticalis) captured near wastewater outfalls are used for monitoring exposure to industrial and agricultural chemicals of ~ 20 million people living in coastal Southern California. Although analyses of hormones in blood and organ morphology and histology are useful for assessing contaminant exposure, there is a need for quantitative and sensitive molecular measurements, since contaminants of emerging concern are known to produce subtle effects. We developed a second generation multi-species microarray with expanded content and sensitivity to investigate endocrine disruption in turbot captured near wastewater outfalls in San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles California.

The objective of the present study was to investigate the modulatory effects of the xenoestrogen 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) on hepatic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) α and β gene expression patterns in relation to the detoxification pathways mediated by cytochrome P450 isoforms (CYP1A1 and CYP3A4). Waterborne 4-NP-induced effects were compared with those of 10(-8)M 17β-estradiol (E2) by using in vivo dose-response experiments carried out with juvenile sole (Solea solea). Compared to the controls, significantly higher levels of PPARα mRNAs were found in fish treated with E2 or 4-NP (10(-6)M) 3 d after exposure; the highest dose of 4-NP also caused up-regulation of retinoid X receptor α (RXRα) transcript levels.
