Project description:To assess the impact of surface water across the Hun River, several sampling sites located in the mainstream and the tributary were selected representative of pollution gradient and different pollution source. Male adult zebrafish were exposed to surface water from seven sites for 4 days. The obiectives of the study was to evaluate the ability of transcriptomic profiles exposed to surface water to determine the potential biological effects, to differentiate different pollution source, and to identify the toxic components.

Project description:To assess the impact of surface water across the Hun River, several sampling sites located in the mainstream and the tributary were selected representative of pollution gradient and different pollution source. Human mesenchymal stem cells were exposed to organic extracts of surface water from six sites for 2 days. Microarrays were used to measure the gene expression. And the gene expression profiles were used to evaluate the ability of determine the potential biological effects, to differentiate different pollution source, and to identify the toxic components.
