Establishment of killer whale (Orcinus orca) primary fibroblast cell cultures and their transcriptomic responses to pollutant exposure
Bjørneset, Juni; Blévin, Pierre; Bjørnstad, Pål Marius; Dalmo, Roy Ambli; Goksøyr, Anders; Harju, Mikael; Yadetie, Fekadu; Routti, Heli Anna Irmeli (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Populations of killer whale (Orcinus orca) contain some of the most polluted animals on Earth. Yet, the knowledge on effects of chemical pollutants is limited in this species. Cell cultures and in vitro exposure experiments ... -

Exposure to PFAS is associated with telomere length dynamics and demographic responses of an arctic top predator
Sebastiano, Manrico; Angelier, Frédéric; Blévin, Pierre; Ribout, Cécile; Sagerup, Kjetil; Descamps, Sebastien; Herzke, Dorte; Moe, Børge; Barbarud, Christophe; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Chastel, Olivier (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Environmental factors that can influence telomeres are diverse, but the association between telomeres and exposure to environmental contaminants is yet to be elucidated. To date, prior studies have focused on legacy ... -
Higher plasma oxidative damage and lower plasma antioxidant defences in an Arctic seabird exposed to longer perfluoroalkyl acids
Costantini, David; Blévin, Pierre; Herzke, Dorte; Moe, Børge; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Chastel, Olivier (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -

Tartu, Sabrina; Lendvai, Ádám Z.; Blévin, Pierre; Herzke, Dorte; Bustamante, Paco; Moe, Børge; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Chastel, Olivier (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015) -
Integument carotenoid-based colouration reflects contamination to perfluoroalkyl substances, but not mercury, in arctic black-legged kittiwakes
Costantini, David; Blévin, Pierre; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Esteve, Valérie; Gabrielsen, Geir Wing; Herzke, Dorte; Humann-Guilleminot, Ségolène; Moe, Børge; Parenteau, Charline; Récapet, Charlotte; Bustamante, Paco; Chastel, Olivier (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Anthropogenic activities are introducing multiple chemical contaminants into ecosystems that act as stressors for wildlife. Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and mercury (Hg) are two relevant contaminants that may cause ... -

Perfluorinated substances and telomeres in an Arctic seabird: Cross-sectional and longitudinal approaches
Blévin, Pierre; Angelier, Frédéric; Tartu, Sabrina; Bustamante, Paco; Herzke, Dorte; Moe, Børge; Bech, Claus; Gabrielsen, Geir Wing; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Chastel, Olivier (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Telomeres are non-coding DNA repeats located at the termini of eukaryotic chromosomes, regulated by dynamic processes balancing shortening and maintenance. Despite a mechanism to slow-down telomere shortening, cell division ... -
