Zebrafish screened for susceptibility to developmental cardiotoxicity caused by the prototypical DLC, 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB126), demonstrate that DLC-induced cardiac teratogenicity is a multifactorial complex trait influenced by gene × gene and gene × environment interactions.

Reproductive and developmental toxicity of dioxin in fish

Emerging disinfection byproducts 3-bromine carbazole induces cardiac developmental toxicity via aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation in zebrafish larvae.

Molecular Mechanisms of Crude Oil Developmental Toxicity in Fish

This review focuses on new insights into heart-specific pathways underlying both acute and secondary adverse outcomes to crude oil exposure during fish development.

Genetic basis for rapidly evolved tolerance in the wild: adaptation to toxic pollutants by an estuarine fish species

The results suggest that DLC tolerance in killifish represents an emerging example of parallel contemporary evolution that has been driven by intense human‐mediated selection on natural populations.

Targeted approach to identify genetic loci associated with evolved dioxin tolerance in Atlantic Killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus)

The genetic patterns reported here lend support to the argument that AHR2 and CYP1A play a role in the adaptive response to extreme DLC contamination, and are identified as significant among paired sensitive/tolerant populations of Atlantic killifish with multiple statistical tests.

Toxic Effects of Polychlorinated Biphenyl Congeners and Aroclors on Embryonic Growth and Development

Survvation of fish was highly variable although the growth rates of surviving fish were relatively normal, suggesting that maturing PCB‐treated fish that survive develop compensatory strategies needed to reach adulthood.

Cardiovascular gene expression profiles of dioxin exposure in zebrafish embryos.

Altered expression of cardiac sarcomere components, including cardiac troponin T2 and multiple myosin isoforms, was consistent with the hypothesis that TCDD causes dilated cardiomyopathy, and observed increases in expression levels of mitochondrial energy transfer genes also may be related to carduomyopathy.

Understanding dioxin developmental toxicity using the zebrafish model.

These studies have shown that zfAHR2 and zfARNT1 mediate TCDD developmental toxicity, and the growing use of molecular and genomic tools for research on zebrafish have led to advances in understanding of the mechanism of TCDd developmental toxicity at the molecular level.

Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Activation Produces Heart-Specific Transcriptional and Toxic Responses in Developing Zebrafish

The developing heart stands out as being responsive to TCDD at both the level of toxicity and gene expression, and identifies strong candidates for important AHR target genes.

Dioxin exposure disrupts the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells into cardiomyocytes.

Potential pathways for dioxin to act as a developmental teratogen, possibly critical to cardiovascular development and disease, are identified and molecular targets are provided that may help to understand the molecular basis of Ah receptor-mediated developmental toxicity.

Overview of Developmental Heart Defects by Dioxins, PCBs, and Pesticides

Although the mammalian embryo is less sensitive to cardiovascular defects by dioxins, developmental exposure increases the risk of cardiovascular disease later in life, recent animal research has confirmed that dioxin exposure in adulthood is associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor 2 mediates 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin developmental toxicity in zebrafish.

Results demonstrate that zfAHR2 mediates several endpoints of TCDD developmental toxicity in zebrafish, and most strikingly, zfahr2 morphants exposed to T CDD never developed edema.

Aryl-hydrocarbon receptor-deficient mice are resistant to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin-induced toxicity.

Results suggest that the pathological changes induced by TCDD in the liver and thymus are mediated entirely by the AHR, however, it is important to note that at high doses of T CDD, AHR-deficient mice displayed limited vasculitis and scattered single cell necrosis in their lungs and livers, respectively.

Toxicogenomic profile of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin in the murine fetal heart: modulation of cell cycle and extracellular matrix genes.

The results demonstrate the global changes in cardiac gene expression that result from TCDD exposure of the fetal murine heart and implicate genes involved in cell cycle and extracellular matrix regulation in T CDD-induced cardiac teratogenicity and functional deficits.

PCB126 exposure disrupts zebrafish ventricular and branchial but not early neural crest development.

The cardiovascular characteristics appear to be similar to hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and introduce the potential of zebrafish as a model to study this environmentally induced cardiovascular malformation.

Heart malformation is an early response to TCDD in embryonic zebrafish.

The zebrafish has become an attractive vertebrate model for studying developmental processes, and is emerging as a model system for studying the mechanisms by which toxic compounds perturb normal development, and the effects of TCDD on heart development.
