The cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) mRNA is induced by environmental contaminants such as PAHs, PCBs and dioxins. The present study cloned theCYP1Atranscript from the guppyPhalloceros caudimaculatus, which represents a potential fish for toxicological studies in South America. The newly identifiedCYP1Aencodes a protein with 521 amino acids that shared 96–70% identity with other fishes. The characterization of organ- and time-dependent induction ofCYP1Ausing RT-qPCR was evaluated after waterborne exposure to beta-naphthoflavone (BNF; 1 μM). The minimum exposure time that elicited significantCYP1Ainduction was 1 h for liver, gill, gut, brain, anal fin and fingerlings; 2 h for dorsal fin; and 4 h for kidney and tail fin.CYP1Atended to reach peak induction in the first few hours (4 h–8 h) of experiment in most organs, although levels remained induced until the end of the experiment (96 h). Validation ofCYP1Ause in environmental sample was performed by exposingP. caudimaculatusto elutriate made from sediment of three streams located in adjacent areas of the Patos Lagoon Estuary (RS, Brazil).CYP1Ain liver, gills and anal fin was induced by elutriate made from urban (S1) and industrial (S2) sites; and not induced by a reference site located 22 Km from potential contaminant sources, suggesting that environmental contamination plays a role in this induction. The results suggest that fins could be used forCYP1Abiomarker analysis and employed in non-lethal biopsy methods for environmental monitoring. The responsiveness of the newly identifiedCYP1Ato BNF and elutriate indicates that the guppyP. caudimaculatuscould be used for environmental toxicology investigations in South American environments.
