Project description:Xiangjiang River (Hunan, China) has been contaminated with heavy metal for several decades by surrounding factories. However, little is known about the influence of a gradient of heavy metal contamination on the diversity, structure of microbial functional gene in sediment. To deeply understand the impact of heavy metal contamination on microbial community, a comprehensive functional gene array (GeoChip 5.0) has been used to study the functional genes structure, composition, diversity and metabolic potential of microbial community from three heavy metal polluted sites of Xiangjiang River.

Three groups of samples, A, B and C. Every group has 3 replicates.
Project description:This microarray experiment aimed at studying the response of Aedes aegypti 4th stage-larvae to various xenobiotics, including insecticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, herbicides and heavy metals.
Project description:In this study, we compare genomic signature safter treatment ofprimary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC) cultured in 3D with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and identify genesets predictive of cancer risk.
Project description:Effect of 5.4 ppm polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 18.2 ppm alkylphenols (APs) on gene expression in adult Zebrafish (Danio rerio) liver after 1 and 7 weeks of water-borne exposure.
Project description:C57BL/6j mice were treated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (benzo(a)pyrene, 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene, and 2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) Cyp1a1 and Cyp1b1 deletion separately and in combination were evaluated relative to the intact WT mice
Project description:Coal tar pitch (CTP) is a byproduct of cooking process which is used in making coatings, corrosion protection materials, and electrode. and it has been verified that Coal tar pitch extract (CTPE) constitutes polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (87.91%) and monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heterocyclic compounds and alkenes (the remaining total is 12.09%) using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). In this study, we determine the lncRNA expression profile in CTPE group and control group. The key lncRNAs were screen out by using microarray analysis in defferent group.
