To evaluate the sensitivity and responses to dioxins via
aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) in Baikal seals (Pusa
sibirica),
we constructed an in vitro reporter gene assay system,
and measured the AHR-mediated transactivation potencies
by each dioxin congener. The
results demonstrated that the seal AHR is very sensitive
to 2,3,7,8-TCDD, the most toxic dioxin congener.

The prevalence of four different
tetracycline-resistance genes, tetA, tetC, tetH and tetM,
in sediments from four aquaculture farms and their
surroundings in the Baltic Sea was monitored by
quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The
presence of three additional tetracycline-resistance
genes (tetE, tetG and tetW) was studied qualitatively by
standard PCR, and the amount of bioavailable
tetracyclines and total amounts of
tetracycline and oxytetracycline in
samples were also measured.None of
the farms were using tetracycline at the time of the
sampling and one of the farms had stopped all antibiotic
use six years prior to the first sampling. Our results
showed greater copy numbers of tetA, tetC, tetH and tetM
at the farms compared to pristine sites and demonstrated
the presence of tetE, tetG and
tetW genes in the sediments under aquaculture farms at
most sampling times. However, most resistance genes were
not found in samples collected 200 m from any of the
farms. None of the samples contained any tetracyclines
at any of the sampling times, suggesting that the
increase in the prevalence of tetracycline resistance
genes is caused by the persistence of these genes in the
absence of selection pressure. This work is
collaboration product between University of Helsinki and
CMES, and the first author was a visiting scientist at
CMES in 2009. Part of this work was performed at
Matsuyama.

Molecular and functional characterization of aryl
hydrocarbon receptor repressor from the chicken (Gallus
gallus): interspecies similarities and differences.
Toxicological Sciences,
119(2), 319–334.
This study demonstrates that the chicken aryl hydrocarbon
receptor (AHR) repressor (AHRR) has the same repressive
capabilities as mammalian and zebrafish AHRRs, but the
critical regions involved in the repressive activity and the
mode of action of repression may be different across
species. This paper is selected as a "Highlighted Article"
of this issue.

In the present study,
we
determined the residue levels and patterns of PCB and OH-PCB
congeners, and examined correlations between OH-PCB
metabolites and parent PCBs in the blood from eight species
of toothed whales and three species of baleen whales
stranded along the Japanese coast. As the results, it
revealed that the accumulation profiles of OH-PCBs in
cetacean blood are clearly different from the profiles found
in other mammals. This study is the first report to
comprehensively document the accumulation profiles of
OH-PCBs in cetaceans.

We found that the endangered black-footed albatross is
contaminated by high levels of dioxins, and a xenobiotic
metabolizing enzyme, cytochrome P4501A is induced by the
dioxins accumulated in the liver. This study is the first
direct demonstration indicating the impacts of dioxins in
this rare species.
