Transcriptomic Characterization of Inhalation Phosphine Toxicity in Adult Male Sprague-Dawley Rats (21,252 ppm x min)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Phosphine (PH3) is a highly toxic, corrosive, flammable, heavier-than-air gas that is a commonly used fumigant. Although the mechanism of toxicity is unclear, PH3 is thought to be a metabolic poison. PH3 exposure induces multi-organ toxicity and no effective antidotes or therapeutics have been identified. To better characterize the mechanism(s) driving PH3-induced toxicity we have performed transcriptomic analysis on conscious adult male Sprague-Dawley rats following whole-body inhalation exposure to phosphine gas at three concentrations. PH3 exposure induced concentration- and time-dependent changes in gene expression across multiple tissues.
