The effect of tert-butyl hydroperoxide on hepatic multi-transcript patterns of the sentinel fish Lithognathus mormyrus
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The study was aimed at examining the effect of the model organic oxygen reactive species (ROS) tert-Butyl Hydroperoxide (tBHP) on hepatic multi-gene expression patterns of the fish Lithognathus mormyrus. Fish were exposed to injected tBHP followed by extraction of RNA from their livers. The corresponding labeled cDNAs of treated versus control fish were applied onto a cDNA microarray of ~1500 unique sequences and differentially expressed genes were identified. The hepatic profile of the in individual fish versus a reference RNA was the basic biomarker parameter. M, the log2 ratio of gene expression (M) was calculated from the imaged hybridization results by the LIMMA software (R environment) used also to statistically determine the differentially expressed genes in the various treatments. EXPANDER4.1 software was used to hierarchically cluster M profiles of individual fish across genes. This clustering was used as a preliminary step aimed at distinguishing groups of similarly expressed genes across the treatments. Gene annotation was aimed at more educated interpretation of the results.
