Atlantic salmon liver transcriptome response to exposure to three human pharmaceuticals
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The combination of increasing consumption rates and limited elimination under conventional waste water treatment practices of many pharmaceutical compounds has now led to their detection in aquatic environments. Three of the most frequently detected pharmaceuticals in the environment are Acetaminophen (APAP), Atenolol (AT) and Carbamazepine (CBZ). Atlantic salmon (parr) was exposed to environmentally relevant levels of Acetaminophen (APAP) (54.77 ± 34.67 µg·L-1), Atenolol (AT) (11.08 ± 7.98 µg·L-1) and Carbamzepine (CBZ) (7.85 ± 0.13 µg·L-1). Gene expression was analyzed in liver tissues using a 16K GRASP (University of Victoria, Canada) cDNA microarray. GRASP 16K v.2 cDNA microarrays were used for this study (Accession # A-GEOD-2716). A dual-labelled experimental design was employed for the microarray hybridisations. Each experimental cDNA sample (Cy3 labeled) was competitively hybridised against a common pooled-reference sample (Cy5 labeled). The entire experiment comprised 20 hybridisations - 4 states (APAP, AT, CBZ, control) × 1 time-point ( at 5 days) × 5 biological replicates (males only). Hybridisations were undertaken concurrently.
