Several naturally occurring dioxins, including 1,3,7-tribromodibenzo-p-dioxin (1,3,7-TriBDD), synthesized by red algae, have been detected in the marine environment. As 1,3,7-TriBDD is accumulated in mussels and fish, predators, such as marine birds, are exposed to this congener, similar to anthropogenic dioxins (including 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin TCDD). However, little is known about the impact of 1,3,7-TriBDD exposure on the bird health. To understand the effects of 1,3,7-TriBDD on birds, the phenotypic effects and hepatic transcriptome were investigated in chicken (Gallus gallus) embryos treated with 27 μM (2.9 ng/g egg) and 137 μM (14.4 ng/g egg) 1,3,7-TriBDD. The blood glucose levels in the 1,3,7-TriBDD-treated groups were lower than those in the control group. The transcriptome analysis of 6520 sequences in the 27 and 137 μM 1,3,7-TriBDD-treated groups identified 733 and 596 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Cytochrome P450 1A4 and 1A5 were also identified as DEGs, suggesting that the aryl hydrocarbon receptor is activated by this congener. Pathway and network analyses with DEGs suggested that 1,3,7-TriBDD may induce carcinogenic effects and metabolic alterations. These results were similar to the effects on TCDD-treated embryos. Nevertheless, the overall transcriptome results suggested that compared with TCDD, 1,3,7-TriBDD has a unique impact on insulin- and peroxisome-signaling pathways in chicken embryos. Differences in altered transcriptome profiles between 1,3,7-TriBDD- and TCDD-treated embryos may lead to different phenotypic effects: less severe effects of 1,3,7-TriBDD and more fatal effects of TCDD. Collectively, these findings warrant the further assessment of the hazard and risk of 1,3,7-TriBDD on marine animals, considering increased exposure due to climate change.
