Abstract

Cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) is an enzyme localized in the endoplasmic reticulum of liver cells. Although its roles in detoxification of exogenous substances have been investigated, its endogenous functions remain poorly understood. Here, we compared liver transcriptomes of CYP1A-knockout (KO) Javanese medaka (Oryzias javanicus) with those of wild-type (WT) fish to determine the physiological roles of CYP1A. We identified 508 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including genes involved in glucose metabolism that were highly upregulated, such as insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin. KO fish exhibited elevated blood glucose levels, increased liver mass, and higher hepatic triglyceride levels, together with upregulation of glucose-regulatory genes, suggesting insulin resistance and a diabetic-like condition. In addition, some genes associated with reproduction, including zona pellucida sperm-binding proteins 1 and 3 (ZP1 and ZP3), were downregulated. Decreased spawning rates and fertilization rates confirmed reduced reproductive capacity in KO fish. Thus, this study demonstrates that CYP1A has endogenous functions in glucose homeostasis and reproduction. The CYP1A-KO strain is expected to serve as a model for investigating detailed physiological processes related to diabetes and reproductive mechanisms, as well as the relationship between these processes mediated by CYP1A.
