| Abstract | Benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) is a mutagenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) commonly released into the environment. B(a)P induces phase I biotransformation metabolism and peroxisome proliferation which is characterised in rodents by increased peroxisomal volume density, accompanied by the transcriptional induction of peroxisomal proteins. The aim of the present work was to study peroxisome proliferation at the transcriptional level, in comparison to the transcription of the well-characterised cytochrome P450 1A gene (cyp1a) in the thicklip grey mullet Chelon labrosus. For this purpose, genes coding for the major peroxisomal membrane protein PMP70 and CYP1A were cloned using degenerate primers. Then juvenile mullets were single injected with B(a)P (5mg/kg) and transcription of palmitoyl-CoA oxidase (aox1), multifunctional protein (mfp1), 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase (thio), Delta(2),Delta(4)dienoyl-CoA reductase 2, pmp70, catalase and cyp1a was semi-quantified in liver and gills 1 and 7days after the injection. Transcription of aox1 and cyp1a was induced in gills 1day after B(a)P injection. Cyp1a transcription was also induced in mullet liver one day after injection, indicating that B(a)P was available for the liver. This was further proved by the significant accumulation of B(a)P-like metabolites in bile 7days after the injection. In liver, aox1, mfp1 and thio transcription was induced at day 1 followed by the induction of catalase transcription at day 7 that may reflect a response to an oxidative stress caused by B(a)P itself or by oxyradicals produced through the biotransformation metabolism and the peroxisomal beta-oxidation. These hepatic responses were not reflected at AOX1 activity level. In conclusion, it has been shown for the first time that the three enzymes in the fish peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway are transcriptionally induced by B(a)P. It remains to be tested whether this enhanced transcription is reflected in an increase in the volume of peroxisomes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
