초록

본 연구에서는 FETAX의 방법에 따라 PCB(Aroclor)가 산개구리의 배아발생에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 배아의 치사율과 기형률은 probit 분석법으로 조사하였다. PCB에 의한 LC$_{50}$은 1.48ppb을 나타냈고 EC$_{50}$은 0.25ppb를 나타냈으며 TI는 5.7을 나타내어 PCB는 높은 치사율을 나타내는 최기형성 물질로 판단된다. 기형양상은 수포형성 기형이 0.1ppb에서 62.0%, 꼬리기형이 1ppb에서 32.0%, profund형의 기형이 5ppb에서 68.0%를 나타냈다. PCB는 비교적 낮은 농도인 1.0ppb에서 머리에서 꼬리까지의 성장을 저해하는 결과를 나타내어 이러한 배아의 성장억제에 의 한 평가는 환경오염물질의 독성을 평가하는 데 민감한 지표로 사용되어질 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 결론적으로 이러한 결과는 PCB가 산개구리 배아발생과정에 높은 독성을 지닌 것을 나타낸다.

The embryotoxic effects of PCB (Aroclor 1248) on a Korean frog, Rana dybowskii was deter-mined by using the FETAX (Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay-Xenopus) protocol. The rates of mortality and malformed larvae were investigated by probit analysis. The results showed that PCB is highly embryolethal. From LC$_{50}$ of 1.48ppb and from EC$_{50}$ of 0.25ppb and TI of 5.7 were derived, which indicates PCB is to be considered a teratogenic compound. Specific malformations occurred in 62.0% as edema at the 0.1ppb, in 32.0% as tail deformations at the 1ppb, and in 68.0% as profound deformations at the 5ppb of PCB concentration which living embryos were exposed to. PCB suppressed the growth of head-tail length at a relatively low concentration (1.0ppb), and therefore growth inhibition as assessed by embryo length can be used as a sensitive indicator to evaluate the toxicity of pollutants in the environment. In conclusion, PCB must be considered highly embryotoxic to Rana dybowskii.
