Abstract In order to investigate cell-specific differences in the response of in vitro models to environmental toxicants, we compared the capacity of nine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to induce cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) in primary rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) hepatocytes and a rainbow trout liver cell line, RTL-W1. Induction of CYP1A was estimated from the catalytic activity of 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) and compared by median effective concentration (EC50) values, induction spans, and benzo[a]pyrene induction equivalency factors for inducing PAHs. The influence of culture conditions was investigated with respect to the presence or absence of serum and varying exposure times. Both in vitro systems lead to an identical classification of the PAHs in noninducing (anthracene, fluoranthene, phenanthrene, and pyrene) and inducing compounds with a similar ranking of inducing PAHs. Mean EC50 values in RTL-W1 cells were, respectively, 343 and 266 nM for benzo[a]anthracene, 57 and 92 nM for BaP, 134 and 283 nM for benzo[b]fluoranthene, 455 and 270 nM for chrysene, and 98 and 116 nM for 3-methylcholanthrene. Compared to primary hepatocytes, the RTL-W1 cell line was more sensitive in its EROD response to the presence or absence of serum and to the increase in exposure time, which led to higher EC50 values.
