Gene expression profiling in mouse livers after administration of both hydrogen-rich water and hydrogen gas
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Molecular hydrogen is a hopeful agent for oxidative stress-related and/or inflammatory disorders. However, the molecular mechanism for these therapeutic effects of hydrogen still remains to be fully elucidated. We examined whether molecular hydrogen alters gene expression levels in normal mouse livers by DNA microarray analysis. We identified 140 mouse genes that were upregulated (31 genes) or downregulated (109 genes) after three weeks of the inhalation of 2% hydrogen-containing air with oral intake of hydrogen-rich water. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis revealed that hydrogen influenced expression of NF-kB- and NFAT-regulated genes. Western blot analysis showed that hydrogen attenuated Erk, p38 MAPK, and NF-kB signaling in mouse livers.
