Project description:Full title: Mercury-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Zebrafish: In Vivo Mechanistic Insights from Transcriptome Analysis, Phenotype Anchoring and Targeted Gene Expression Validation In this study, we performed microarray-based expression profiling on liver of zebrafish exposed to 200 µg/L of mercuric chloride for 8-96 h, to identify global transcriptional programs and biological pathways involved in mercury-induced adaptive responses under in vivo environment.
Project description:To gain more insight into cellular responses to mercury, we have undertaken a large-scale analysis of the rice transcriptome during mercury stress.More transcripts were responsive to mercury during short (pooled from 1- and 3-h treatments) , as compared to long (24 h) exposures. After short exposures, these induced genes can be divided into different functional categories, mainly on the basis of cell wall formation, chemical detoxification, secondary metabolism, signal transduction and abiotic stress response. Molecular mechanisms for the mercury toxicity in rice roots.

We analyzed 12 arrays for mercuric chloride treated zebrafish liver and 12 arrays for control liver.
