One major function of the livers of fishes, essential for life, is the metabolism of xenobiotics, rendering lipophilic compounds water soluble and more easily excreted. This function is in turn linked to the formation and excretion of bile. Linked hepatocytic and biliary epithelial function in fishes involves hepatic tubules [1-3]. In these, hepatocytes are clustered about an axis of the biliary system. This pattern is analogous to that of an exocrine gland and is the adult phenotype for amphibians, birds, reptiles, and fishes [3]. Most fish species lack resident macrophages of the hepatic sinusoids (Kupffer cells) [3]; and, while mammalian studies – including recent findings reported at this meeting – clearly show important roles of these and other cells of the hepatic sinusoids in initiation and modulation of hepatoxic responses, studies in fishes lag far behind those of their mammalian counterparts. Our overall objective is to improve understanding of the biology of laboratory model fish so that future workers may have better tools with which to approach the complexity of environmental science including toxicology. Herein, we present, for the first time, results of in situ and vital studies on liver development, metamorphosis and formation of adult vascular elements in medaka. These studies were greatly facilitated by use of the see-through medaka [4], a vertebrate model with a transparent body throughout life.

わが国の一般廃棄物の約80%は焼却後処分場に埋め立てられており, 焼却飛灰を含む焼却残滓は主要な埋立内容物である。本研究では, 焼却飛灰の溶出液に含有される化学物質の有害性を評価することを目的として, ヒメダカおよびムラサキイガイを用いたバイオアッセイを行った。ヒメダカでは, 急性致死毒性および孵化阻害を評価し, さらにCYP1A活性およびビテロジェニン濃度を測定した。ムラサキイガイでは, DNA損傷性およびGST活性をそれぞれ評価および測定した。その結果, すべての焼却飛灰の溶出液に, ヒメダカ奇形仔魚の出現およびムラサキイガイのGST活性の誘導, DNA損傷が確認され, また試験した半数以上の試料で弱いビテロジェニン誘導が観察された。これまでの研究で報告されている埋立処分場浸出水におけるヒメダカ奇形仔魚の出現およびビテロジェニン誘導が焼却飛灰溶出液においても確認されたことから, 浸出水におけるこれらの影響の原因物質の一部は焼却飛灰由来であることが示唆された。一方, それぞれのバイオアッセイ結果に相関関係は観察されなかったが, 目的の異なるバイオアッセイを組み合わせることにより, 未知化学物質の混合物である焼却飛灰溶出液の包括的な環境リスク評価の可能性が示唆された。
