Polycyclic Aromatic

In a series of bio-effect-directed fractionation experiments, we investigated the potential toxicity of sediment extracts from a contaminated bay. A previous study investigated abnormalities and hepatic ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activities in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) larvae by exposing newly fertilized eggs to the total extract and to fractions separated by degree of aromaticity. A major part of the potential toxicity was isolated in a fraction containing polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs). In this study, we prepared a synthetic PAC mixture with 17 commonly analyzed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in amounts equimolar to those found in the sediment PAC fraction. The 17 PAHs, which included 11 of the 16 United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) priority PAHs, were unable to account for the toxicopathic effects observed and could explain less than 4% of the total EROD induction. The lack of a clear relationship between toxicopathic effects and EROD induction underlines the need for a battery of biomarkers for estimating environmental risk. These results reveal the limits of our knowledge regarding compounds responsible for potential toxicity in field situations.

The rainbow trout hepatoma cell line, RTH-149, was evaluated for use as a bioindicator cell type in the neutral red cytotoxicity assay. The cells were exposed for six days to various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, including chemicals that are direct-acting toxicants and chemicals that require enzymatic biotransformation to cytotoxic metabolites. Whereas benzo[a]pyrene was only slightly cytotoxic, its metabolites — (±)trans-7,8-diol-benzo[a]pyrene and 3-hydroxy-benzo[a]pyrene — were highly cytotoxic. 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene was cytotoxic, but cytotoxicity did not occur with benzo[a]anthracene, benzo[b]fluoranthene and benzo[k]fluoranthene. This cell line appears to lack sufficient xenobiotic metabolising capacity to biotransform many of these polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to activated cytotoxic metabolites.
