Background, Objectives and Research Outline
In order to control the reproduction of aquatic animals, it is necessary to know the regulatory mechanism of
the gametogenesis, especially oogenesis in detail. We have investigated the molecular mechanism of the
oogenesis using in vitro culture systems of ovarian fragments at various stages through analyses of the
reproduction-related factors, for example, pituitary gonadotropic hormone (GTH), ovarian steroidogenic
enzymes, hormone receptors and so on, in the Japanese eels (Anguilla japonica). The Japanese eels have
immature ovaries and further oogenesis is arrested under captive conditions. However, ovarian
development can be induced by the administration of salmon pituitary extract (SPE) richly including GTH.
Since effects of exogenous hormones can therefore be readily assessed, the Japanese eel would be a
suitable model for the study of reproductive physiology in fish. In this project, we have focused on the
early (previtellogenic) and the final (post-vitellogenic) stages of oogenesis in the Japanese eel.
Previtellogenic oocyte growth in the Japanese eel is mainly characterized by the appearance and
accumulation of oil droplets in the oocyte. However, the molecular mechanisms have not been known.
Therefore, we examined the effects of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and 11-ketotestosterone
(11KT), a major androgen in some teleosts, on the accumulation of oil droplets into previtellogenic oocytes.
Although the production of glass eel in captivity has been succeeded in the Japanese eel, the egg quality
is unstable, and survival rates of the larvae are usually very low. To solve the problems, the techniques that
could produce fertilizable eggs and viable larvae in vitro may be useful, because the developmental process
of eggs and larvae can be controlled under completely artificial condition.
We have applied the basic knowledge from eel studies using the to the development of effective
techniques for the seed production in various fish species such as sturgeons. Our recent investigations have
focused on aspects of sturgeon biology, including the artificial control of reproduction in native sturgeons.
In this project, we investigated wild sturgeons, which are rarely caught off the coast of Hokkaido in Japan.
Achievements
1) Accumulation of oil droplets in previtellogenic oocytes of Japanese eel could be induced in vitro.
Co-treatment with VLDL and 11KT resulted in significant oil droplet accumulation. These data suggest that
lipids in oil droplets originate, at least in part, from VLDL, and that 11KT plays an important role in their
transfer and/or accumulation into oocytes (Endo et al., in preparation). This is the first report to indicate the
role of androgen in oogenesis.
18
2) We designed a system for the mass production of two forms of biologically active recombinant eel GTHs
(follicle stimulating hormone: FSH and luteinizing hormone: LH). We successfully produced bioactive
recombinant eel GTHs. Further optimization of the production method and of protein purification will
result in greater yields of the recombinant GTHs (Kazeto et al., in preparation).
3) We generated and characterized a polyclonal antiserum against eel steroidogenic enzymes including
P450 cholesterol side-chain cleavage (P450scc) using a recombinant protein as the antigen (Ijiri et al.,
2006).
4) We performed in vitro induction of final oocyte maturation and ovulation in the Japanese eel, and tried
artificial fertilization using the eggs obtained in vitro. We succeeded to produce eel larvae from eggs
obtained in vitro for the first time, although the fertility and hatchability were mostly low (Abe et al., in
preparation).
5) Fifty sturgeons were caught in a 15-year period and identified as kaluga, Huso dauricus, Japanese
sturgeon (mikado), Acipenser mikadoi, Amur sturgeon, A. schrenckii and kaluga-Amur sturgeon hybrid in a
ratio of 38:10:1:1, indicating that several sturgeon species are still occurring in Hokkaido (Omoto et al.,
2004).
6) Recently, we have succeeded in the artificial spawning of kaluga for the first time in Japan. The hatching
rate, however, was extremely low since the incubation water temperature may have been inappropriate
(Adachi et al., in preparation). In addition, we have confirmed by biopsy that it will be possible to induce
spawning in one of the female mikado in the next year.
Significance and Perspectives
It is essential to establish an in vitro culture system and to analyze the hormonal regulation of the
reproduction-related factors for the elucidation of the mechanism in eel ovarian development. The basic
information from eel studies will facilitate to improve techniques for the artificial control of the
reproduction in not only eel but also other important fish species. We hope that these studies will be applied
to the development of innovative techniques for the seed production such as an in vitro egg production or a
surrogate aquaculture.

R02 Analyses on cellular and molecular mechanisms for
unreduced gametogenesis
Marine Bio-Manipulation Project (Mechanism Analysis on Gametogenesis/Surrogate Aquaculture)
Member
Katsutoshi Arai, Faculty of Fisheries Science, Hokkaido University (Team Leader)
Etsuro Yamaha, Field Science Center for Northern Biosphere, Hokkaido University
Background, Objectives and Research Outline
Aquatic animals exhibit incomparably larger bio-diversity in reproductive systems: most aquatic animals
normally generate gametes (eggs and sperm) through meiotic divisions and reproduce bisexually, but some
special biotypes and/or populations of certain species reproduce unisexually in nature. If we disclose
cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for atypical reproduction observed in certain aquatic
animals, the result can be applied for the development of innovative aquaculture biotechnology not only to
induce the gametogenesis without meiosis for efficient cloning, but also manipulate uniparental
development for all-female and/or all-male farming.
The loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus (Teleostei:Cobitidae) is a unique freshwater fish species
commonly inhabits in Japan and other areas in Eurasia. This species includes a small number of unisexual
form together with predominant bisexual form. Although the most loaches in Japan are a bisexually
reproducing diploid form with 2n=50 chromosomes, a cryptic clonal lineage was discovered in wild
population from the northern area of Hokkaido Island (Morishima et al., 2002). These clonal loaches are
diploid, but they produce unreduced diploid eggs genetically identical to somatic cells of the mother and
most diploid eggs develop without any genetic contribution of sperm donor. However, some eggs happen to
incorporate sperm nucleus and develop to triploid or diploid-triploid mosaic individuals. In general,
evolutionary origin of unreduced oogenesis and unisexual development has been considered to be a hybrid
between genetically distinct species or populations, which gives rise to a disruption of normal meiosis and
subsequently occurrence of atypical reproduction. Although the loach M. anguillicaudatus has been
regarded as a single species entity, the population genetic studies suggest the presence of cryptic species in
Japanese Misgurnus loach.
In this project, we investigate to disclose following seven important points using loach fish as model
animal: (1) the cytological mechanisms responsible for clonal unreduced diploid eggs, (2) the cytological
mechanisms responsible for unisexual development without genetic contribution of sperm, (3) the
cytological mechanisms for the occurrence of triploid and other unusual cytotypes, (4) the induction of
clonal males showing unreduced spermatogenesis to generate diploid spermatozoa with genetically
identical genotypes, (5) the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for unreduced spermatogenesis
in sex-reversed clonal males, (6) the population genetics using molecular markers to identify cryptic loach
20
species, and (7) the construction of genetic linkage map for identification of genetic factor for atypical
reproduction.
Achievements
1) Unreduced diploid eggs were determined to form by the system of “premeiotic endomitosis”, i.e.
chromosome doubling before entering meiosis without cytokinesis and subsequent quasi-normal two
divisions, based on observations of meiotic chromosomes and their behavior (Itono et al., 2006).
2) Unreduced eggs were determined to develop by “gynogenesis”, i.e. sperm-dependent parthenogenesis,
based on observations of failure of male pronucleus formation due to condensed sperm nucleus (Itono et al.,
2007).
3) Triploid and diploid-triploid mosaics appeared by probable reactivation of sperm nucleus in a blastomere
before or after cleavage, respectively, i.e. “delayed fertilization” (Itono et al., 2007).
4) Clonal males were successfully produced by sex-reversal with methyltestosterone administration and
they were confirmed to generate only diploid spermatozoa with clonal genotypes, based on experimental
breeding, flow-cytometry and molecular genetic analyses using microsatellites (Yoshikawa et al., 2007).
5) Premeiotic endomitosis is involved in diploid spermatogenesis and the stage when endomitosis occurs is
now examined using cell-sorter using stage-specific antibody and DNA content measurements.
6) Molecular phylogeny using sequences in the control region of mtDNA (about 950bp) disclosed that
Japanese Misgurnus loach includes at least two genetically distinct species (Morishima et al., 2007a).
7) Genetic linkage map including 27 linkage groups with centromeric position was constructed using about
150 microsatellite markers for further genetic analyses on atypical reproduction (Morishima et al., 2007b).
Significance and Perspectives
Our results show that unreduced oogenesis and spermatogenesis should be achieved by the breeding system
of “premeiotic endomitosis”. Now, the study to identify the stage when the endomitosis occurs is now
going underway. From the evolutionary viewpoint, the involvement of hybridization between genetically
distinct loaches is suggested for the occurrence of atypical reproduction. This means that it may be possible
to reproduce or reconstruct clonal lineage by artificial hybridizations. Clarification of cellular and
molecular mechanisms for unreduced gametogenesis and natural gynogenesis is a final goal.

Studies on behavior of the cytoplasmic factors including
organelles during gametogenesis and zygote development

Backgrounds, Objectives and Research Outline
After fertilization, the cytoplasmic factors,
centrioles as a part of microtubule
organizing center, mitochondria (and
chloroplasts in the case of photosynthetic
eukaryotic algae) in zygote are introduced
from egg (female gamete) and sperm (male
gamete), and these factors are equally or
unequally distributed into daughter cells
during the zygote development. When
considering on efficient seedling and
cultivation of marine organisms including fishes and algae, distribution mechanism of the cytoplasmic
factors would be important. Because inducing development of parthenogenetic unfertilized eggs and
triploid zygotes is now useful technique in fisheries science. If the distribution of these cytoplasmic factors
is disturbed, the zygote could not develop. Moreover, isogamy and anisogamy are observed in algae,
different from the case of animals, only oogamy. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the behavior of
organelles in each pattern of the sexual reproduction, isogamy, anisogamy and oogamy, and these
observations would also possess new idea on the evolution of the sexual reproduction of various organisms.
In this report, we will focus on the algal fertilization including the edible seaweeds.
Achievements
First, we have examined the cytoplasmic inheritance of cellular organelles (centrioles, mitochondria and
chloroplasts) using the brown algae in this project. Members in the brown algae like Sargassum, Laminaria,
Macrocystis, are quite important primary producers along the sea shore. Centrioles in zygotes are
universally derived from male gamete (sperm), independent of patterns of the sexual reproduction, isogamy,
anisogamy and oogamy. In isogamy and anisogamy, centrioles derived from male and female gametes exist
in zygotes just after fertilization, however, these from the female gamete selectively disappear. In oogamy,
egg does not have centrioles originally, and sperm introduce them into zygote. Therefore, the paternal
22
inheritance of centrioles are universal in the sexual reproduction in brown algae, and this phenomenon
might be common in the sexual reproduction of eukaryotic organisms, because we know that the paternal
inheritance of centrioles occurs in vertebrate and invertebrate animals including fishes and sea urchins. We
are now studying on this important mechanism of the paternal inheritance of centrioles because centrioles
have a crucial role as a part of centrosome which function as the mitotic spindle poles and MTOCs
(microtubule organizing centers).
Concerning the cytoplasmic inheritance of
mitochondria and chloroplasts of sperm, they were
specifically surrounded by ER in early zygote
development and finally digested in lysosomes in the
case of oogamy. This selective digestion process is
quite similar to the case of animal fertilization.
Labeling of ubiquitin molecules might be selectively
occurred on the surface of these sperm organelles. In
isogamy, chloroplast in the sporophyte cells which
have developed from zygotes are biparental, while it has recently become clear that mitochondria are
derived from the female gamete. We are now examining when the male mitochondrial DNA will disappear
by crossing experiment using haplotypes of mitochondrial DNA.
Significance and Perspectives
Adding to the fisheries science, marine organisms have been significant from a viewpoint on the basic
biology. As mentioned above, organelle inheritance of marine algae are strictly regulated after fertilization,
some of their regulation patterns are quite similar to it of other organisms and the other are characteristic on
the algae. Genome project of the brown alga, Ectocarpus siliculosus, has now proceeded in Roscoff Marine
Station in France, and we participate in this project as one of the core centers (analysis of the cell structure
of brown algae). Therefore, it will be possible to approach the regulation mechanism on the organelle
inheritance from the genome information.

Background, Objectives and Research Outline
For efficient “surrogate production” through germ-line chimeras (see Project 05 in detail), transplanted
primordial germ cells (PGCs) from the donor should differentiate to functional gametes in the host which
should be sterilized so as not to generate gametes of itself. Because simultaneous formation of gametes
derived from both host and donor is inconvenient for exclusive production of gametes of target species with
high commercial values and/or important traits in germ-line chimeras.
To produce viable but sterile fishes, interspecific hybridization has been conducted in a large number of
combinations between fish species. However, reproductive performance of resultant hybrids is very
difficult to predict. Thus, experimental hybridization and subsequent evaluation are required to assess the
sterility or the fertility of hybrid. Triploidization, i.e. addition of extra set of chromosomes to original
diploid two sets of chromosomes, can be formed easily in fish by inhibition of the second polar body
release of fertilized eggs and resultant triploids are expected to be sterile due to a disruption of meiosis and
subsequent arrest of gametogenesis. The combination between triploidization and hybridization, i.e.
allo-triploidization (generation of triploid hybrid) is predicted to exhibit additional effects on sterility.
These chromosome manipulation techniques are considered to be applicable for establishment of sterile
host, but effects of such manipulations are different not only between species, but also between sexes and
verification of sterility should be carried out in each candidate species.
The other sterilization technology is a knock-down of the gene dead end(dnd) by morpholino antesense
oligonucleotids (MAO), which inhibits the process of translation and protein synthesis at ribosome and
subsequently gives rise to the lacking of germ-cells. To establish a molecular sterilization technology in the
loach, sequences of dnd were partially determined and MAO treatment was optimized.
In future application of surrogate aquaculture techniques to various aquaculture species, techniques of
artificial induction of hybrids and/or polyploids are also established and then performances of resultant
products are evaluated in barfin flounder (Mori et al., 2004, 2006; Saitoh et al.,2006: Lahrush et al., in

Background, Objectives and Research Outline
The term, surrogate, is used as surrogate mother in reproductive medicine. In the field of fertility treatment,
fertilized egg or early embryo is transplanted into uterus. Surrogate mother means a mother who bears a
child on behalf of another woman, from the implantation in her womb of a fertilized egg from the other
woman. Surrogate production is also used in animal husbandry. A birth of baby caw is controlled according
to the birth plan, transplanting fertilized egg. Fertilized eggs from beef cattle are used in transplantation,
because of the high market value. Surrogate production in aquaculture, this sort of technique will be used.
By this technology, the gametes with high market value will be produced in fish.
Surrogate production in teleost fish is achieved by inducing germ-line chimeras. To make germ-line
chimeras, the PGCs are isolated from donor embryo and transplanted into the host embryos. The hosts
become germ-line chimeras if the transplanted PGCs successively migrate to the genital anlage and
differentiate into functional gametes. In consequence, donor genotypes can be restored in the next
generation. The fish-seed production is expected to become more efficient by the realization of surrogate
production using germ-line chimeras between two different species whose biological properties are
different from each other. For example, the life cycle of the fish might be extremely shortened if a species
that has shorter life cycle is used as the surrogate parent and produces donor gametes. Moreover, if PGCs
from larvae distributed in nature are collected and reproduced through germ-line chimera, we might be able
to keep enormous genetic bio-diversity in stock seedlings for marine ranching.
In this project, following four points
have been studied, such as 1)
visualization of PGCs in several teleost
species during embryonic development,
2) isolation of visualized PGCs by
flow-cytometry, 3) induction of
germ-line chimera between different
species, and 4) cryopreservation of
Fig. Schematic illustration of surrogate aquaculture

chimera.
Achievements
1) Visualization of PGC from somatic cells is achieved in several fish species, including goldfish, eel and
some flatfish, by injection of artificial GFP-zebrafish nos1 3’UTR mRNA to fertilized egg.
2) A cluster of visualized PGCs by GFP were sorted by flow cytometry in 10-15 somite stage embryos in
the zebrafish, goldfish and loach. Ninety eight percent of sorted cells were PGCs by testing in situ
hybridization as vasa probe. About a half of sorted PGCs showed viability and migration ability were
confirmed by in vivo transplantation of sorted cells into host embryos.
3) Complete germ-line replacement between two related teleost species the pearl danio (Danio
albolineatus) and the zebrafish (Danio rerio). A PGC of pearl danio embryo was isolated and transplanted
into blastula stage, zebrafish embryo in which development of its germ-line cells was prevented by an
antisense dead end morpholino oligonucleotide. Analyses of morphology and DNA showed that offspring
from natural spawning of these chimeras were of donor origin. Transplantation of single PGCs of goldfish
(Carassius auratus) and loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) can similarly differentiate into sperm in
zebrafish host embryos.
4) Vitrification of whole-body embryo is ongoing experiment in zebrafish.
Significance and Perspectives
Our results show that xenogenesis is realistic and practical across species, genus and family barriers and
can be achieved by the transplantation of a single PGC from a donor species. It is interesting whether or not
differentiation of donor sperm is induced in host with more distant genetic relation than family. The
functional gamete production will be expected from single PGC that the genetic or ploidy properties are
artificially modified. For example, functional gametes may differentiate, when PGC from lethal hybrid is
cultured in viable host in vivo. Complete germ-line replacement will be also scientifically applicable to
analysis of differentiation and interaction of germ and somatic cells in gonad. Now we are studying in these
problems.

Backgrounds, Objectives and Research Outline
Post-genome analysis became to be the main stream in modern biology using eukaryotic organisms
including yeast, nematode, fly, mouse and human. In plants, genome analyses had been done for several
land plants, such as Arabidipsis thaliana and rice, and unicellular algae, such as Chlamydomonas and
diatoms. In addition, large scale-genome analysis of multicellular algae are recently promoted in a
world-wide level. It has already been organized some genome consortium in Europe and America, to which
highly amounts of national and/or international budget is invested. To date, some analyses have been
completed and others are nearly finished. Unfortunately, in the Asian-Pacific regions, organized promotion
for the genome analysis is largely behind in Asia in comparison with Europe and America, because only
some Japanese algal research groups try to progress genomic analysis with small grade, in which the
Division of Breeding Sciences of the Hokkaido University plays a central role. It is accepted that
multicellular seaweeds are important marine resources for human being in the 21st century, especially to
Asian-Pacific people with historical and area-governmental reasons.
The aim of the project 06 is to progress the building of “Asian-Pacific Genome Center” as a center of
education and research of the genome biology of marine macro-algae. In that case, it is important to
organize the genome consortium in Asian-Pacific regions according to the activity of education and
research by seaweed study groups belonging to the 21st Century COE Program.
We joined several seminars focused on genome researches to get information about current situation of
model plants. In addition, we joined annual meetings and symposiums of some academic societies to
recommend a marine red alga Porphyra yezoensis as a model plant with comments about the advantage and
future visions of its genome analysis. Since this project has produced the fine fruits and attained it’s own
object, it was finished in 2006.
Achievements
Recently, genome analysis is progressing using model organisms for the experimental materials to
elucidate the mechanisms of physiological regulations. These model organisms are E. coli, yeasts, fly,
28
nematode, mouse, rice, Arabidopsis, which have characteristics as small genome size, easy to culture,
small number of genes and/or easy to functional analysis. Since genome information is a powerful tool to
analyze various physiological events, it is important to determine model marine plants for progress the
genome analysis of multicellular seaweeds. According to such a background, we attended the First Model
Marine Organism Seminar, the seminar for genome analysis of a marine brown alga Ectocarpus organized
by Roscoff Marine Laboratory (France), etc. to collect information about current situation of genome
analysis using model organisms. In addition, we introduce Porphyra yezoensis as a model marine organism
with its advantages and respects at, for instance, the Seventh International Meeting of Marine
Biotechnology, the Third International Symposium of Industrial-Academia-Governmental Collaboration
for the Establishment of Marine Food Production in China and Japan by the 21st Century COE Program at
Udayana University. Moreover, based on information obtained, we made a proposal pamphlet for the
establishment of “Asia Genome Center” and opened our website.
Significance and Perspectives
Although the pioneers of seaweed genome analysis are Asian-Pacific researchers, the genomic study is
performed by only small groups using Porphyra yezoensis including a Porphyra group in the Hokkaido
University as a leader. Thus, the constitution for the study on seaweed genome biology is not well
organized in comparison with those in Europe and America. There is a consensus that multicellular
seaweeds as marine organisms are important marine resources for human being in the 21st century,
especially to Asian people with historical and area-governmental reasons. Therefore, it is quit important
output that we was able to built “Asian Genome Center” at the international marine city, Hakodate, as a
center of education and study of the genome biology of algae. In that case, the activity of education and
study by algal study groups belonging to the 21st Century COE Program promoted the organization of the
genome consortium in Asian area.
In conclusion, the project 06 has established the preliminary committee for “Asian–Pacific Genome
Center (presently Asian–Pacific Institute of Marine Biology) ” and the facility for this center was built by
an academic-industrial-governmental collaboration. Since this project has produced the fine fruits and
attained it’s own object, it was finished in 2006.

Backgrounds, Objectives and Research Outline
The marine macro-red alga Porphyra yezoensis Ueda is one of commercially important organisms for Nori
breeding. This organism is currently recognized as a model organism for both basic and applied researches
of marine plants, because it has been established laboratory culture system, freeze stock method and the
catalog of expression sequencing tags (ESTs). However, since a fine genetic map with a number of
molecular makers and genetic transformation systems haven’t developed yet, much efforts is necessary to
progress molecular biology and genomics in P. yezoensis. The aim of the project 07 is therefore
methodological improvement of the genetic transformation and the production of mutants in P. yezoensis.
Achievements
Isolation of mutant strain of Porphyra yezoensis : Pigmentation mutants have been used as useful crossing
partners in genetic analysis of Porphyra. We have succeeded in inducing a novel brilliant green mutant
(MBG: Mutant Brilliant Green) by N-methyl-N’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) treatment in the
organism. The contents of chlorophyll a (Chl. a) and phycoerythrin (PE) were significantly

Development of the new technique for function analysis of Porphyra yezoensis gene : We have succeeded
in the development of a tool for studying Porphyra gene function using the yeast transformation system.
The gene encoding argininosuccinate synthetase (EC 6345) of the organism (PyARG1) was obtained by
PCR using an expressed sequence tag clone as a template, and subcloned into the yeast expression vector
pYES2. The gene was expressed when the vector harboring PyARG1 was introduced into an
ARG1-deficient strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which resulted in successful complementation of the
mutant phenotype. The transformed cells could survive on a selective medium lacking arginine, and
transcripts of PyARG1 were detected by reverse transcription-PCR. A quantitative comparison showed that
the rescued mutant cells grew in the selective liquid medium with a minor reduction in growth rate relative
to wild-type cells. This is the first report in which the function of Porphyra gene has been directly
demonstrated. This technique will provide new opportunities for further investigations into the functions of
various genes in the present organism and other macroalgal species.
Significance and Perspectives
For mutant generation, we employed a chemical mutagenesis and obtained the color mutant which display
bright green color. Because of its unique color, it is possible that the mutant is useful for crossing with other
color mutants to analysis a lot of physiological events. We schedule the generation of morphological
mutants and study the plasticity of wild-type strain to obtain the basic knowledge useful for cross
experiments.
For the development of the genetic transformation system, we now try to select reporters as selection
makers and promoters to express these reporters for constructing transformation plasmids. We also develop
the functional analysis system of genes from the organism using yeasts. One successful example is a
functional complementation of yeast arg1 mutant, whose growth requires exogenous supply of arginine, by
heterogeneous expression of P. yezoensis AGR1 gene. However, establishment of the genetic transformation
system is now our current main subject.

Backgrounds, Objectives and Research Outline
Seaweeds (green, red and brown algae), namely multicellular
macroscopic algae, are important primary producers on the sea
coast, and have a crucial role for marine fishes and animals as
foods and maintenance of the sea shore environment. Konbu
(Laminaria), Wakame (Undaria) and Nori (Porphyra) have
been familiar to Japanese people as traditional foods and
culture, and the characteristic polysaccharides of the cell walls
of seaweeds, like agar, carrageenan, alginate, and fucoidan are
paid attention as medicines and healthy foods. Therefore, when
considering the efficient and stable management and
production of these edible seaweeds, we must understand the
regulation of there complicated life cycles, especially on the
gametogenesis. In this project, we have investigated
gametogenesis of the red (Porphyra yezoensis) and brown
(Scytosiphon lomentaria) algae using the molecular and
cytological techniques.
Achievements
In Porphyra yezoenesis, ultrastructures of mitosis, cytokinesis
and cell wall structures were obtained using freezing fixation.
Compositions of the cell wall polusaccharides in Porphyra are
different between sporophyte and gametophyte generations,
namely cellulose and mannan. Cell wall of the sporophyte cell
is composed of fine fibrous material, while it of the gametophyte cell is amorphous one. In the red algae,
the pit plug is characteristically detected in the cell wall between two cells. The pit plug exists only in
sporophyte generation, not in gametophyte one, in Porphyra. Nuclear division and cytokinesis in Porphyra
are similar to ones of other red algae. Nuclear envelope remains through mitosis, except of the mitotic polar
32
region. Polar rings, which are characteristic in red algae and like centrioles in animal cells, are located at
both mitotic poles, and numerous spindle microtubules radiated towards chromosomes. Through this study,
it has become clear that polar rings behave as semi-conservative manner. Cytokinesis proceeds with
furrowing of the cell wall.
In the brown alga, the genome project of a model organism Ectocarpus siliculosus has now proceeded
in Roscoff Marine Station in France under cooperation with other laboratories including our lab, and the
analysis on the whole genome will be completed in this year. Based on this genome information,
proteomics analysis using isogamous male and female gametes in Scytosiphon lomentaria has started with
researchers in Korea and Germany, focusing on the sexual differentiation, pheromone synthesis in female
gametes and its receptor in male gametes.
Significance and Perspectives
As mentioned above, the algal cell wall polysaccharides, as well as cellulose, chitin, etc. of the terrestrial
plants, have a big potential for the human life because of their unique structures and function. The cell wall
components are different between sporophyte and gametophyte generation in Porphyra, which are clearly
shown by TEM observation in this study. Therefore, early development of conchospores and carpospores
(monospore) must be examined, focusing on the cell wall formation, because the former develop into
gametophyte and the later into sporophyte. For this purpose, cytochemical studies including specific lectins
and antibodies under TEM will be necessary. Molecular information and technique have now proceeded in
Porphyra, and detailed studies on the metabolic pathway on the cell wall synthesis will be clarified under
the molecular level. But unfortunately, genetic transformation has not been succeeded at present. This
technique will surely be crucial for the future study on the marine algae including Porphyra, and our group
will combine the genetic manipulation and the ultrastructures in near future.

Backgrounds, Objectives and Research Outline
There are two general approaches to achieving vegetative propagation of major aquacultural seaweeds
including Porphyra and Laminaria. One is the use of totipotency to achieve protoplast production. The
procedure of protoplast formation generally requires great skill and time. In addition, it is necessary to
establish the simple and efficient technique for decomposing the algal cell wall. Isolation and purification
of the polysaccharide degradation enzymes fitting to each algal cell wall will achieve this resolution. On
the other hand, an alternative approach is to produce asexual spores such as monospores in Porphyra. The
monospore production is useful as a seed source in cultivation and has been focused on as one of the
cultivation techniques used to propagate biomass on the shore. The artificial control of monospore
production is also powerful technique to acquire a large amount of clonal seedlings.
Achievements
Cell-wall degradation enzymes from abalone and their application for protoplast production:An
endo-β-mannasase was isolated from digestive fluid of Pacific abalone, Haliotis discus hannai, by
successive chromatographies on TOYPEARL CM-650M, hydroxyapatite, and TOYOPEARL HW50F. The
abalone mannanase (HdMan) showed a molecular mass of approximately 39,000Da on SDS-PAGE, and
exhibited an optimal pH and temperature of 7.5 and 45°C, respectively. In addition, HdMan could disperse
the fronds of a red alga Porphyra yezoeisis into cell masses consisting 10-20 cells that are available for cell
engineering of this alga (Fig.1).

Culture condition for protoplast production in the fronds of a brown alga, Laminaria japonica, was also
studied. Artificial seawater containing 100U/ml HdAly, 0.5% cellulase Onozuka and 0.6M mannitol was
suitable as a medium for protoplast production. In addition, the culture with 50 strokes/min of shaking at
17°C for 7 hr in the medium could produce 7.2-9.0 x 105 of protoplast per 1g of frond. The utilization of
34
the recombinant HdAly, which is prepared with the baculovirus insect-cell expression system, is powerful
tool for stable and continuous production of protoplast of this alga (Fig.2).
Mass production of monospore in Porphyra by allantoin treatment:A dioecious red alga, Porphyra
pseudolinearis, which does not produce asexual spore such as monospore, is a high valuable Porphyra
plants. We tried to acquire regenerable free cells, which have the same capability of monospore, by
allantoin treatment. A large amount of free cells were obtained after culturing in PES medium with 10-2M
of allantoin at 20 °C and homogenizing gently in seawater. The free cells were divided into three types in
form, globular, ellipse and 2-celled. Free cells in all types could developed to be thallus. There were also
free cells developing to be conchosporangium-like and conchocelis-like forms. The thallus originated from
the free cells showed the same levels of growth rate to mother plants. In addition, the thallus grew to be
large size more than 50cm in blade length. This technique is useful to acquire free cells even in Porphyra
species that has no cycle through monospore, and will contribute to production the clonal seedlings (Fig.3).

free cells from Porphyra pseudolinealis
fronds by allantoin treatment
Significance and Perspectives
These approaches for seedling production in the present studies will supply the safe and reliable seedlings
for their cultivation. In future, the isolation and purification of other cell wall digestion enzymes, such as
xylanase, cellulase and agarase, will be necessary for truly a useful technique in artificial seedling
production. Moreover, the elucidation of characteristics of clonal seedlings is also necessary to establish the
practical system of seedling productions.

Backgrounds, Objectives and Research Outline
The purpose of the project is to give new commercial value to hard tissues of aquatic animals, which are
wastes of seafood industry at present, by integrating molecular and physiological knowledge on the
mechanism of formation of these mineral containing tissues. The priority research item is fish scales and
their collagen. Artificial collagenous matrices for tissue engineering, such as “cornea substitutes” and
“bone substitutes” are putative outputs of the project.
Specific function of our tissues frequently depends on the specific fibril alignment of the collagenous
matrix. For example, corneal stroma is composed of stratified layers of highly-oriented collagen fibrils. The
directions of the fibrils in a layer are identical, but those in different layers are orthogonal. Such
three-dimensional alignment of collagen fibrils gives transparency, flexibility and strength to the tissue.
Since cornea has limited ability of regeneration, the only medical treatment for injured cornea is
transplantation. Thus, fabrication of cornea substitutes is the emergent task. Artificial collagenous matrices
that have cornea-like fibril alignment may be the best suitable, but low regenerating ability of the tissue
makes it difficult to study the mechanism of collagen alignment. On the other hand, regulation of
mineralization of implanted tissue is another task. Bone substitutes must keep mineralized, whereas
substitutes for soft tissues must keep unmineralized. Fish scale is composed of two layers, a thin external
bony layer and a thick internal basal plate. The former is bone-like mineralized collagenous matrix,
whereas the latter is a cornea-like. Moreover, the scale has high regenerating ability. The cells that produce
regenerating scales are extremely activated. Therefore, the regenerating scale is a good biological model to
study cellular mechanism of fabricating bone- and cornea-like collagenous matrix.
Achievements
Identification of molecules regulating collagen alignment and mineralization: Goldfish regenerating
scales are the major material used. We hypothesized that the noncollagenous proteins in the bony layer and
the basal plate were different, and that the former regulates mineralization whereas the latter regulates
collagen alignment. By SDS-PAGE, we found that the bony layer was rich in EDTA-soluble proteins,
whereas the basal plate contained small amount of acetic acid-soluble proteins. At present, we have
identified a protein that might have mineralization-inducing activity from the bony layer.
Establishment of in vitro systems that produce cornea- or bone-like matrix: Our histological
observation revealed that Leibovitz’s L-15 medium containing 10% FBS with high oxygen tension in the
36
atmosphere could support growth of regenerating scales in the organ culture system. To further asses the
culture condition, molecular markers that reveal the state of cellular differentiation and activity are needed.
For this purpose, we have cloned cDNAs of BMP2 and Runx2, both of which are powerful inducer of
osteoblast differentiation in mammals. cDNAs of type I collagen α-subunits and SPARC (osteonectin),
which are the molecules actively synthesized by osteoblasts, have also cloned. Quantitative RT-PCR
(QPCR) systems of these molecules are now under the development. Cell culture system is also under the
development using L-15 supplemented with 10% FBS.
Regulation of denaturation temperature (DT) in fish collagen: DT is the point over which collagen
triple helix is unraveled. The unraveled collagen (gelatin) looses a function as materials for tissue
engineering. Our colleagues found that tilapia collagen had close but a little bit lower DT (35°C) than
mammalian one (38°C). Moreover, tilapias from different aquaculture farms had different collagen DT,
suggesting that fish can control DT depending on the environment. Mammalian collagen is a triple helix of
two α1 subunits and one α2 subunit [(α1)2α2], whereas fish collagen is consisted of mammalian type
(α1)2α2 and fish specific types α1α2α3 and α2(α3)2. Collagen DT is highly dependent on the number of
hydroxy proline residues in the molecule. Since numbers of hydroxy proline residues in α1-, α2-, and
α3-subunit are different, fish may control the number of the residues, hence collagen DT, by controlling the
composition of the subunits. To examine this hypothesis, precise changes in the expression levels of α1-,
α2-, and α3-subunit mRNAs in different physiological conditions are under investigation.
Significance and Perspectives
The risk of zoonotic infection, such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, has induced replacement of
collagen source from mammalians to fish. However, the replacement in medical use has not been
progressed. The present project will induce the replacement, and will further add high value to the scale
collagen. We are now at the stage that molecular tools have been just developed to study the mechanisms
of collagen alignment and mineralization in the regenerating scales. We will make a strong effort for
clarifying mechanisms of cellular differentiation and activation during scale regeneration in order to
establish in vitro systems that produce cornea- or bone-like matrix.

Backgrounds, Objectives and Research Outline
Wild stocks of commercially important marine invertebrate species, such as abalones, sea urchins and crabs,
are in the general trend of decline due to overfishing, environmental destruction etc. The objective of the
present project is to accumulate basic molecular and physiological knowledge on the physiology of
commercially important marine invertebrates in order to support development of efficient technologies for
stock enhancement and aquaculture.
The target species of the project is a sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus intermedius, the most commercially
important invertebrate species in Hokkaido area. Its edible part is gonad, in which major cellular elements
are germ cells and nutritive phagocytes (NPs). The NPs accumulate nutritive substance, which is mobilized
under malnutrition or on the way of gonadal maturation. The sea urchin gonad is, thus, the reproductive as
well as nutritive organ. Studies are now focused on digestion and absorption of nutrients in the digestive
tract, NP development, and germ cell differentiation and development.
Achievements
(1) Digestion and absorption of nutrients in the digestive tract: Although existence of some digestive
enzymes including proteases have biochemically indicated, molecular information is scarce. We have
purified a serine protease, subtilase, from digestive tracts of S. intermedius. The enzyme was the most
active protease in the digestive tract, having peak activities at pH 9 and 50°C. It retained more than 40% of
its maximum activity in the condition of sea urchin digestive tract (pH 6-7 at 10°C), suggesting its
importance in vivo. The western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry using a specific antibody
revealed that it was synthesized in some of the resorptive epithelial cells of the anterior half of the stomach,
secreted into the lumen, and worked in the spherules of foods in the lumen. It was also suggested that the
resorptive epithelial cells of the posterior stomach, intestine and rectum absorbed digested nutrients. As far
as we know, this is the first study that directly identified the functional differentiation of digestive tract of
sea urchin.
(2) NP development: The major component of the NP contents had been identified as the major yolk
protein (MYP) in S. purpuratus and Pseudocentrotus depressus. However, its function, production site,
regulation mechanism of production, accumulation and mobilization have not been clarified. We have
purified MYP and cloned its cDNA in S. intermedius. RT-PCR revealed that the MYP mRNA is expressed
38
in the digestive tract as well as in the gonad in both sexes, as observed in other sea urchin species,
suggesting that a part of MYP was produced in the digestive tract and transported to the NPs through
coelomic fluid. Immunohistochemical identification of MYP-producing cells in the digestive tract is under
investigation. We have also developed radial immunodiffusion (SRID) method to quantify MYP
concentration, and variations of MYP levels in the gonad and coelomic fluid during the gonadal
development are being investigated. Since MYP is contained in gonads of both sexes, and may function as
a nutrient substance as well as yolk protein, it is not a good indicator of female gonadal development. We
are now investigating female specific protein(s) from female gonads, which can be used as a marker to
study gonadal development.
(3) Germ cell differentiation and development: We have isolated and characterized vasa and nanos
homologous genes from S. intermedius in order to obtain specific markers of the germline. Two
vasa-related cDNAs, vasa and PL10, and a nanos cDNA were isolated from testicular cDNAs. The vasa
and PL10 cDNAs encode proteins of 779 and 774 amino acid residues, respectively, and both proteins
contain the eight conserved motifs of the DEAD-box protein family. The nanos cDNA encodes a protein of
232 amino acid residues, and the protein contains two CCHC Zn finger motifs, which are well conserved
in Nanos protein family. By RT-PCR, vasa and nanos mRNAs were detected only in ovary and testis,
whereas PL10 mRNA was widely expressed in various tissues. In situ hybridization revealed that signals
for vasa and nanos mRNAs were strong in oogonia and small oocytes, decreased as maturation proceeded,
and disappeared in maturing oocytes. Signal for PL10 mRNA was strong in oogonia and small oocytes and
weak in maturing oocytes. In testis, both vasa and PL10 mRNAs were detected in spermatogonia and/or
spermatocytes, but not in spermatids and spermatozoa. However, nanos mRNA was not detected in all
stages of spermatogenesis. These results suggest that the vasa and nanos genes are specifically expressed
in germ cells of the sea urchin, S. intermedius, and thus, should be useful as germ cell markers in future
studies on germ cell formation, differentiation and development in sea urchin.
Significance and Perspectives
Clarification of molecular mechanisms of gonadal development in commercially important echinoderms
have not been studied intensely. The present project will supply basic molecular and physiological data
required for development of efficient technologies of stock enhancement and aquaculture. Researches on
endocrine and/or neural control system of gonadal development is also required to be started.

Backgrounds, Objectives and Research Outline
Mass mortalities due to infectious diseases have often occurred in larvae and juveniles reared in hatcheries.
Although control measures are strongly needed for sustainable aquaculture, vaccination could not be an
effective method for larvae because immunological defenses of larvae are at an early stage of development.
Water supplies for seed production and aquaculture often provide an efficient means for the
introduction and spread of infectious diseases. Furthermore, disinfection of wastewater before discharging
is necessary to avoid the pathogen contamination in the environment. In this project, we study to establish
control measures by water disinfection, brood-stock selection and utilization of antiviral substance
producing bacteria as probiotic.
Achievements
1. Typical treatment systems make use of high efficiency sand filters to clarify the water before treatment
with ultraviolet (UV) light or ozonization. Fish pathogens are divided into two groups based on their
sensitivity to UV and total residual oxidants (TROs) produced by ozonization of seawater.
Hypochlorite produced by electrolysis of seawater (salt water) showed bactericidal and virucidal
effects. This method can easily treat large volumes of water, and is suitable for disinfecting wastewater
before discharging.
2. Fish with and without infectious hamatopoietic necrosis history (one of the severe salmonid disease)
was distinguished from each other by detection of specific antibody against IHNV with the newly
established ELISA system. Thus, it was considered that the ELISA system could be useful for
selection of fish without IHN-history. Application of this system, selection of healthy brood-stock of
barfin flounder (Verasper moseri) and Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) and water treatment
were conducted in several hatcheries and were able to avoid the disease outbreak (see Fig. 12).
3. Anti-viral substances-producing intestinal bacteria such as Vibrio spp. from Japanese flounder
(Paralichthys olivaceus) and barfin flounder
were isolated. When Japanese flounder larvae were fed
on rotifers with Vibrio sp. strain V-15 manipulated with the bacteria, the dominant intestinal microflora
was consisted by Vibrio spp. Also, flounder larvae fed with V. alginolyticus strain V-5 or V-23
40
manipulated rotifer showed anti-herpesvirus activities in the intestinal contents. Experimental
infection is needed for demonstration of protective capability contribution.

Molecular population genetics of Pacific salmon for their
management and sustainable use
Food Security Project (Genetic controls)
Member
Syuiti Abe, Faculty of Fisheries Sciences, Hokkaido University (Team leader)

Moongeun Yoon, Graduate School of Fisheries Sciences, Hokkaido University
Backgrounds, Objectives and Research Outline
Effective enhancement of marine animals as food resources has so far been greatly hampered by their
underdeveloped genomics, because of lack of genetic basis for selection and breeding. Aquagenomics is
also prerequisite to develop a useful tool for proper handling of the populations of target species, e.g.,
conservation of natural populations by maintenance of genetic diversity and prevention of genetic
perturbation by cultured counterparts. Our goal is thus to make it possible to accomplish effective breeding
of marine animals and their genetic management and sustainable use by employing a variety of molecular
markers.
Current research activities associated with the COE program include the development of
mitochondrial (mt) and nuclear microsatellite (ms) DNA markers in commercially important Pacific
salmon, especially for chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) and masu salmon (O. masou), and their use for
the analyses of genetic variation and population structure in these species.
Achievements
1) Genetic variation and population structure of chum salmon inferred from the mtDNA and msDNA
analyses. More than 4,200 fish representing a total of 96 populations from Japan, Korea, Russia, and
North America were examined for nucleotide sequence variation in about 500 bp variable portion of the 5’
end of the mtDNA control region and allelic variation at four of eight developed msDNA loci. The
observed 32 haplotypes of three clades (A, B and C) were mostly associated with the geographic regions, in
that clade A and C haplotypes characterized Asian populations and clade B haplotypes distinguished North
American populations. Both the mtDNA haplotype diversity and the heterozygosity at examined msDNA
loci suggested a greater genetic variation in the populations of Japan than those of Russia and North
America. Various population genetic analyses with the mtDNA and msDNA data showed distinct genetic
differentiation of populations among and within the three regions and clear geographical structure in the
Pacific Rim.
2) Development of DNA microarray for rapid detection of mtDNA haplotypes in chum salmon.
An
oligonucleotide (DNA) microarray hybridization method was developed for rapid and accurate detection of
the previously identified nucleotide sequence variations in about 500 bp within the 5’ half of the mtDNA
control region of chum salmon. The method includes immobilization of synthesized oligonucleotides
42
containing respective polymorphic sites on a glass slide precoated with polycarbodiimide resin, a 2-hour
hybridization with DNA microarray of biotinylated polymerase chain reaction fragments spanning the 5’
variable portion followed by short washing, and visualization of hybridization signals by conventional
ABC method and scanner-assisted computation of signal intensity on a computer. The entire process of
hybridization and detection was completed within 4 hours. The resulting DNA microarray could detect all
of the single nucleotide mutations and therefore could be used to identify the sequence variations defining
all the mtDNA haplotypes of chum salmon as revealed previously by nucleotide sequence analysis.
In fact, identification of mtDNA haplotypes of more than 2,200 chum salmon collected at various
stations in the Bering Sea and North Pacific Ocean September 2002 and 2003 on-board ships and on land
showed non-random distribution of Asian and North American stocks of chum salmon in the Bering Sea
and North Pacific Ocean, in that the Japanese and Russian stocks were mainly distributed in the
northcentral and western Bering Sea, respectively, and that the North American stocks were abundant in the
North Pacific Ocean around the Aleutian Islands.
3) Genetic variation and population structure of masu salmon based on mitochondrial DNA sequence
analysis.
Nucleotide sequence variation in about 500bp sequence from the 5' end of the mtDNA control
region of masu salmon endemic to the Far East was analyzed for the genetic variation in more than 600 fish
from the 17 populations representing Japan (11) and Russia (6). Haplotype diversity based on the observed
51 haplotypes of nine clades suggested a similar level of genetic variation between the two regions. Various
population genetic analyses revealed distinctive genetic differentiation between populations among and
within regions, demonstrating strong structuring between the two geographic groups of populations.
Significance and Perspectives
The observed congruence between the results from mtDNA and msDNA analyses indicates that a battery of
two DNA markers will become useful for construction of a better baseline for genetic stock identification
of chum salmon in high seas. The preliminary analysis of mixed ocean samples suggests high potential of
the developed DNA microarray for stock analysis of mixed ocean aggregation of chum salmon.
The
results obtained in masu salmon also indicate the efficacy of mtDNA analysis in population genetics of this
species. Overall, molecular genetic markers under developed will become useful for phylogeographical
analysis and genetic management of Pacific salmon.

Backgrounds, Objectives and Research Outline
Flatfish include many commercially important species, some of which are threatened for their resources by
overfishing for many years. However, effective enhancement program for flatfish has been greatly
hampered by the lack of genetic information including genome structure and function. Understanding of
genome structure is prerequisite to develop useful molecular markers for proper handling of the populations
of target species, e.g., conservation of natural populations by maintenance of genetic diversity and
prevention of genetic perturbation by cultured counterparts. Our goal is thus to make it possible to
accomplish effective breeding of flatfish and their genetic management and sustainable use by employing a
variety of DNA markers.
Our current research activities associated with the COE program include the analysis of genome
structure and function, molecular phylogeny, development of DNA markers, and molecular population
genetics using developed markers in flatfish.
Achievements
1) Molecular genetic and cytogenetic analyses of flatfish genome.
Basic karyotype information was
accumulated in nine species of flatfish including Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), Barfin
flounder (Verasper moseri), Stone flounder (Kareius bicoloratus), Pointhead flounder (Hippoglossoides
pinetorum), Slime flounder (Microstomus achne), Right-eyed flounder (Pleuronectes punctatissimus),
Brown sole (P. herzensteini), Cresthead flounder (P. schrenki), and Marbled flounder (P. yokohamae).
Diploid chromosome number was 48 in all but Barfin flounder (46) and Pointhead flounder (44).
Location of rDNA sites and satellite DNA clones isolated from Japanese flounder genome was shown to
become a useful species-specific chromosome marker in these flatfish. In addition, long debatable
chromosome number and karyotpe information of Japanese flounder, i.e. 2n=46 or 48, was settled with fine
molecular cytogenetic techniques, and the karyotype was further refined for both morphological and
molecular characteristics in this species.
2) Development of DNA markers in flatfish.
Eight polymorphic loci of microsatellite (ms) DNA were
newly developed and characterized in Brown sole. Among these, four were found to be available for
parental assignment and population genetic analysis in this species. Actually, preliminary parental
assignment with these msDNA markers reached more than 90% to 100% in a couple of hatchery
populations of Brown sole. In these hatchery populations produced from limited number of parents,
44
apparent decrease in the genetic variability was commonly observed with the markers employed. With
cross-species amplification, seven of the eight msDNA markers were found to be available in Marbled
flounder, Right-eyed flounder and Stone flounder for population genetic analysis.
3) Molecular phylogeny and population genetics of flatfish.
Molecular phylogeny using nucleotide
sequence data of mitochondrial (mt) DNA cytochrome b gene in 17 flatfish species including the
aforementioned nine revealed clear monophyletic relationships among the examined species, in that
Marbled and Cresthead flounder were found to be placed in the same cluster with high statistic support,
sharing some haplotypes in both species. Further population genetic analysis using the same mtDNA gene
strongly suggested that Marbled and Cresthead flounder are not different species, probably separating
southern (Marbled) type and northern (Cresthead) type from common ancestor with dispersal along
Japanese Archipelago.
Nucleotide sequence analysis of the mtDNA control region in Brown sole revealed extremely high
molecular variation in nearly 500 fish collected from Japan and Korea. Population genetic analysis with the
same mtDNA region failed to show inter- and intraregional genetic differentiation, probably due to the
observed high molecular variability.
Significance and Perspectives
Understanding of genome structure will facilitate development of molecular markers and construction of
chromosome maps for effective breeding and management of flatfish resources. Refinement of Japanese
flounder karyotype with various molecular cytogenetic techniques will make it possible to construct a
physical map for validation of genetic linkage maps so far proposed in this species. Establishment of
phylogenetic relationships of flatfish is particularly important for identification of true fishery target
species. Overall, the current approach of molecular cytogenetics, phylogenetics and population genetics
will provide useful means for appropriate conservation, enhancement and breeding in flatfish.

Monitoring estrogenic contaminations in aquatic
environments using fish serum proteins
Food Security Project (Pollution evaluations)
Member
Akihiko Hara, Faculty of Fisheries Sciences, Hokkaido University (Team leader)
Backgrounds, Objectives and Research Outline
Evaluation of pollution on the wild and farm-raised fishery products, or the environments where these
animals have been raised, is important for the food security in the human life. Vitellogenin (Vg) and
choriogenin (Chg), major estrogen-inducible serum precursors for egg yolk and egg chorion, respectively,
have become important biomarkers for assessing the estrogenic potency of chemicals and exposure of
animals to estrogenic contaminants present in aquatic environments. Our research objectives were to
develop detection and evaluation systems for the estrogenic pollution using biomarkers (i.e., Vg and Chg).
To achieve this goal, our research addresses molecular and biochemical characterization of such
biomarkers and their derivatives, generation of their specific antisera and immunoassays, and field surveys
on the presence of biomarkers in the sera of wild and domestic fish populations, in conjunction with
exposure experiments in the laboratory environments (Figure 1).
Achievements
Our research performed from 2004 to 2006 include molecular and biochemical characterization of Vg and
Chg in various teleost species. Results indicated the presence of multiple Vg and Chg genes and proteins.
Various conventional or advanced immunoassays for the detection and quantification of fish Vg and Chg
proteins were developed, of which include single radial immunodiffusion (SRID), chemiluminescence
immunoassay (CLIA), and immunochromatography. Differential sensibility among the induction of dual
types of Vg and Chg proteins in response to estrogenic stimulation were confirmed mainly in medaka
(Oryzias latipes), a model species for the laboratory exposure experiments. Field surveys, which are
targeting to the presence of Vgs and Chgs in male fish inhabiting in various aquatic environments (rivers,
estuaries, coasts, and oceans) around Japan were performed; an abnormal circulation levels of these
biomarkers were evident in male fish caught from several urban aquatic environments, which the levels far
exceeded ones from fish inhabiting control (putative non-polluted) areas or domesticated fish that
exhibiting normal reproduction. Efficient procedures for the purification of multiple Vgs and Chgs, as well
as those for the development of Vg or Chg-type specific antisera and immunoassays, need to be developed
and adapted for various model species for the better evaluation of estrogenic pollution in aquatic
environments. Normal Vg levels (“the base line”) in wild male populations inhabiting in the control areas
or domesticated males exhibiting the normal reproduction needs to be verified for each target species to
interpret the significance of Vg presence in the “polluted” fish.
46
Significance and Perspectives
Presence of multiple Vg and Chg genes and proteins in teleosts, in addition to their differential
responsiveness to the estrogenic stimulation, led us to consider that the identification of Vg or Chg types is
necessary to accurately evaluate the result of Vg-based or Chg-based bioassays. Specific immunoassays
developed for our model species is a major accomplishment in an aquatic toxicology field and can also be
adopted for the evaluation of estrogenic pollution using other target species inhabiting in different
environments. Our preliminary field surveys revealed a significant degree of estrogenic activities in some
of urban aquatic areas in Japan and thus suggested a possible estrogenic pollution in these areas.
Developing a simple kit for the detection of Vg and Chg, as well as performing further field surveys and
laboratory tests, in a variety of fish species inhabiting at different aquatic areas will be the next step toward
our goal and will provide important information on the food security in human life.

Backgrounds, Objectives and Research Outline
Many biological systems support our survivals in various environments. For example, bilirubin, the end-product
of heme catabolism, used to believed as one of body wastes as well as the pathogen of jaundice without any
physiological role. Last decade, our data and others indicated biological significance of bilirubin to protect lives
from active oxygen. Thus, heme metabolism became one of the important members in the field of protective
reactions against stress.
Since heme and/or hemoprotein seems to be capable of sensing environmental pollutants, we have been
searching heme-mediated response mechanism(s) to environmental stress to find out Bach1/Maf/Nrf2 system
for transcriptional activation. Since many environmental pollutants, such as lead, trichloroethykene, cadmium,
dioxin decrease cellular heme content through inhibition of heme synthesis and/or induction of heme
degradation (Fig. 1), binding activity of Bach1, negatively controlled by cytosolic heme, is increased. Hereby,
the investigation on roles as well as mechanisms of heme to monitor environmental pollutants will form the
basis for the biological monitoring
system of environmental pollutants.

Lives also rescue themselves from environmental hazards through immune system. NKT cells play the key

Achievements
1) Heme-mediated response to environment: Inducible isozyme of the key enzyme for heme degradation,
heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), is well known to 32 kDa heat shock protein (HSP32) as well as 33 kDa oxygen
regulated protein (ORP33). In 2003, we reported that heme regulated ORP33 expression through Bach1 (J Biol
48
Chem, 278: 9125-33), indicating that the factor plays an important role in response to stress.
The other remarkable response to oxygen stress is erythroid differentiation. The most essential event in
erythroid differentiation is the accumulation of globin (J Biol Chem, 266: 17494-502, 1991; Blood, 83: 1662-7,
1994; Blood, 86: 940-8, 1995), however, exact mechanisms has not been well understood. Recent study
indicated that gene activation of β-globin is also regulated by Bach1 via cellular heme concentration (J Biol
Chem, 279: 5480-7, 2004). Oxygen derived house-keeping heme biosynthesis in decidual cells are also
suggested to be regulated by Bach1 (Congenital Anomalies, 47: 22-33, 2007).
2)
Signaling to change the shape of platelets in response to environmental stress: By proteome analyses, we
find a novel binding protein for the adaptor protein CrkL, and identified a new DOCK180 family protein whose
cDNA is 5.6 kb. This protein distributes in various tissues, and is suggested to contribute cell adhesion. After
adhesion of platelets, Rac activation is one of the most essential events, signaling molecules from Rac are,
however, unknown. We demonstrated that some of these molecules are three isoforms of WAVE protein and
WAVE regulating proteins, such as Abi-1, Sra-1 (Blood, 105: 3141-8, 2005). Furthermore, our data indicates
that IRSp53,with PIP3 controls WAVE2 to polymerize actin (J Cell Biol, 173: 571-85, 2006).
3) Environmental response in fish cells:
RTC-2 cells were treated with tributyltin compound (TBT) to
indicate activations of MAPK system, including ERK, JNK, p38, as well as MAPKK molecules, such as
MEK1/2, MKK4 and MKK3 in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Observed apoptosis in TBT examined cells
were protected either pretreatment with JNK inhibitor or with p38 MAPK inhibitor.
4) Study using ES cells: The immune cells, particularly, those that involved in the innate immune system are
pertinent to the environmental response of the host organism. Generation of the unlimited number of such cells
will quite useful not only for the detection of the environmental change but also for the regenerative medicine.
We have generated the ES cells by nuclear transfer and in inducing the lymphocytes.
Although ES cells technology is promising for the future regenerative medicine and for the cell-based
therapy, cells that are induced to differentiate into certain cell types or tissues cannot be used for patient due to
the immune rejection of the host. In this regard, it is desirable to customize the ES cells, i.e., establishing the
patient-specific ES cells. Nuclear transfer is a technique that circumvents such a problem. Our success in
inducing the lymphocytes from such ES cells paves the way for realizing medicine and cell based therapy.
Further works will be required to decipher mechanism underlying the host immune response against the
environmental change, and to accumulate the data relevant clinical application studies.
Significance and Perspectives
From 2004, our group has published 20 original articles closely relating to molecular mechanisms for safety
of lives. Nowadays, we are planning to construct human ES cell system, which will be start within this year. If
the human ES cells system planning will become available, the system enables us not only the monitoring
system for environmental hazards but also the screening system for marine products that are expected to contain
many useful seeds for us.

Backgrounds, Objectives and Research Outline
Carotenoids are the most important pigments among those occurring in the nature and have been found to
afford several beneficial effects including cancer chemoprevention. Fucoxanthin is a xanthophyll that
contains two epoxy groups. Fucoxanthin is reported to contribute >10% of the estimated total production of
carotenoids. It is the major carotenoid that occurs in brown seaweeds (phaeophytes) which are the major
seaweeds among different classes occurring in nature. This project aims to elucidate fucoxanthin as an
important bioactive carotenoid with reference to its biofunctional and nutritional benefits it affords. An
effort is also made to find the good resources and the available methods for isolation and purification of
this marine carotenoid.
Achievements
Obesity is the excessive accumulation of body fat which is a major risk factor for diseases like
hypertension, diabetes arthritis and cardiovascular diseases. Uncoupling protein (UCP1) is a key molecule
for anti-obesity. UCP1 expression in brown adipose tissue (BAT) is known as a significant component of
whole body energy expenditure and its dysfunction contributes to the development of obesity. We have
found the anti-obesity effect of edible seaweed carotenoids, fucoxanthin, through protein gene expression
of UCP1 in white adipose tissue (WAT) not in BAT. In these studies, 0.05-0.2% fucoxanthin was fed to
animals. The weight of WAT was significantly lower in fucoxanthin-fed rats and mice than in control
group. In this case, UCP1 expression was found in WAT of fucoxanthin-fed mice, although there was little
expression in that of control mice. Expression of UCP1 mRNA was also found in WAT of fucoxanthin-fed
mice, but little expression in that of the control. It is certain that UCP1 is a key molecule for anti-obesity.
UCP1 usually expressed only in BAT, however, adult humans have very little BAT and most of fat is stored
in WAT. Considered as breakthrough discoveries for an ideal therapy of obesity, regulation of UCP1
expression in tissues other than BAT by food constituents would be important. From this viewpoint, the
anti-obesity effect of edible seaweed carotenoid, fucoxanthin, is very interesting, as its activity depends on
the protein and gene expressions of UCP1 in WAT. Fucoxanthin feeding also significantly reduced glucose
level of diabetic model mouse or normal mouse fed high fat diet. Fucoxanthin up-regulated glucose
transporter 4 mRNA expression of L6 myotubes, which express similar glucose transport kinetic profile to
that of adult muscle. Therefore, anti-diabetic effect of fucoxanthin would be mainly due to the glucose
transporter up-regulation. When fucoxanthin was fed to animals, DHA synthesis from 18:3n-3 in the liver
50
also increased. The induction of DHA in the liver would be due to the increase in the enzymatic activity for
DHA synthesis.
Significance and Perspectives
The multi-functionalities of fucoxanthin indicate that it is an important bioactive and health beneficial
carotenoid for preventing metabolic-syndrome.

Backgrounds, Objectives and Research Outline
Aquatic plants have been found to possess conjugated fatty acids, with carbon chain length varying from 16
to 22 carbon atoms, as natural constituents in their lipids, both trienes and tetraenes occur in aquatic plant
lipids. Though many workers have been contributed to the information on the fatty acid composition of
marine lipids from different regions of the world, not much information is available on the occurrence of
these conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in marine lipids. This project is mainly aimed to
research, involving biochemistry, physiology and nutrition, in relation to marine conjugated fatty acids.
Achievements
Conjugated PUFAs from marine origins showed cytotoxic effect on mouse tumor cell (SV-T2). These
conjugated trienoic acids were cytotoxic to SV-T2 cells below 20 μM. The same effect was observed in the
case of human monocytic leukemia cell (U-937). Generally, 9,11,13-conjugated linolenic acids (CLN), a
model conjugated PUFA, and all trans-CLN are more cytotoxic than 8,10,12-CLN and CLN containing cis
configuration, respectively. The higher cytotoxity of 9,11,13-CLN or all trans CLN isomers was partly due
to the different susceptibilities of these CLN isomers to lipid peroxidation. On the other hand, the inhibitory
effect of CLN on the growth of colon cancel cells was related to the regulation of peroxisome
proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ. PPARγ ligands such as troglitazone and 15-d-prostaglandin (PG) J2
caused growth inhibition and induced apoptosis in cancer cells. CLN showed a higher ligand activity on
PPARγ than troglitazone. Bcl-2, GADD45, and p53 are known as an important molecular target in
apoptosis-inducing pathways. In Caco-2 cell treated with 9c,11t,13t-CLN, Bcl-2 expression was
down-regulated, while GADD45 and p53 expressions were up-regulated. Therefore, two possible
mechanisms of the anticarcinogenic activity of CLN can be hypothesized viz., induction of apoptosis via
lipid peroxidation and regulation of target gene and protein. CLN significantly reduced the frequency of
colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in rat as a precursor of colon carcinogenesis. In this case, the
proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-labeling indices in ACF and normal-appearing crypts also
decreased by dietary feeding of CLN. Furthermore, feeding of CLN enhanced apoptotic cells in ACF
without affecting the surrounding normal-appearing crypts. Chemopreventive ability of conjugated PUFAs
on rat colon cancer could be found in a long-term in vivo assay. Dietary administration of oil rich in CLN
(9c,11t,13t-18:3) significantly inhibited the development of colonic adenocarcinoma induced by
52
azoxymethane (AOM) in male F344 rats without causing any adverse effects. In addition, CLN intake
significantly reduced the multiplicities of colorectal carcinoma (number of carcinomas/rats) in rats.
Synthetic ligands for PPARα and PPARγ effectively inhibited AOM-induced ACF in rats. Therefore, it may
be possible that conjugated PUFAs suppress colon carcinogenesis by means of altering PPARγ expression
in colonic mucosa.
Significance and Perspectives
It has been well documented that conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) from daily products affords numerous
beneficial health effects. Similarly, as the enzymes responsible for the formation of CFAs of >18 carbon
chain length have been completely elucidated, they can as well be used for producing conjugated PUFAs
like conjugated EPA and conjugated DHA etc through the application of biotechnological techniques from
marine lipids. This coupled with the fact that most conjugated PUFAs especially CLN isomers afford the
same health benefits as CLA makes marine lipids as the potential sources for use in functional and
neutraceutical formulations.

Backgrounds, Objectives and Research Outline
“Food safety” is a matter of concern to the entire world. The marine products produced and processed in
Japan include products such as salmon roe and seafood delicacies that do not need heating processing. To
ensure the safety of such products, not only sanitation and hygiene control at the processing plant important,
but also controls to preserve freshness and quality control assurances of the raw material are critical. In this
project, we study to make system which covers every step from fishing through market auction, processing
to distribution for all marine products.
On the other hand, contamination of oyster with Vibrio parahaemolyticus or viruses like norovirus
(NV) remains a cause of food-borne illnesses. Elimination of these pathogens from oysters is economically
important for oyster traders and farmers. Our studies aim to establish effective depuration systems against
other food-borne pathogens.
Achievements
1. To control hygienic conditions at fishing ports, qualitative and quantitative bacterial observations have
to be considered. In the 29 fishing ports located at Hokkaido, Japan, the distribution and composition
of heterotrophic bacterial flora and coli-form bacteria were studied. Coli-form bacteria were isolated
inside and outside of the harbor throughout the year, and their counts increased as water temperature
increased.
2. A consistent basic hygiene and sanitation policy were constructed. The basic approach involves, at
every stage from fishing, prevention of products pathogens, maintaining temperatures below set levels,
thoroughly controlling the water and ice used, preventing damage to raw material, and minimal
processing time. Electrolyzed seawater was applied for sanitation and hygiene control and ensured rich
source of disinfected seawater (Fig.19).
3. Depuration of the contaminated oysters was performed in two kinds of seawater; electrolyzed seawater
and UV irradiated seawater. At chlorine concentration of 0.2~0.4 mg/L, electrolyzed seawater
completely eliminated Escherichia coli while remaining harmless to the oysters. Treatment with
electrolyzed seawater or UV irradiated seawater resulted in decrease of E. coli counts to 91 E. coli
54
MPN/100g or below detection limit.
4. Challenged with high hydrostatic pressure, FCV, norovirus surrogate, was almost completely
inactivated at 200 MPa for 5 min. Oysters separated from their shells under a pressure of 80 MPa for 5
min at 40 °C. Under these conditions, one to two-log. inactivation of FCV was observed.

Significance and Perspectives
Japan has long history for aquatic products industry. Our model will enhance the general sanitation and
hygiene level of fishing ports. Furthermore electrolysis of seawater will be one of good tool to reduce risks
of marine products by V. parahaemolyticus.

Cooperative Exchange with the Southeast Asia Fisheries Development Center
(SEAFDEC), Bangkok, Thailand
Objectives and achievements
The main objective of cooperative exchange with the SEAFDEC, which is an
intergovernmental regional organization, is to establish an effective regional network between
HU and the SEAFDEC member countries to promote future cooperative activities in fisheries
research, education and technology in Southeast Asia, because fisheries are
socio-economically important in Southeast Asia and Japan. As fisheries sciences are
adaptable and practical to the fisheries sector, it is essential for fisheries scientist to facilitate
close cooperation not only with other scientist, but also with fisheries agencies, which is
under the national fisheries authority. By establishing a regional network with the
SEAFDEC, HU expects to better understand the needs of fisheries research, study and
technical cooperative programs with individual SEAFDEC member countries, which is
expected to stimulate new research at HU. Through the framework of this cooperative
agreement, HU has started the exchange of students, taking advantage of various SEAFDEC
training programs.
