Project description:Transcriptional profiling performed from total eye RNA extracts of wildtype control fishes versus Prpf31 morpholino injected larvae (at ~72hpf) two-condition experiment: wildtype zebrafish versus MO-Prpf31 injected zebrafish eye RNA; 6 replicates each (extraction from 6 pools (~200 eyes each) of controls and 6 pools MO-Prpf31 (~200 eyes each))
Project description:In triplicate for each condition, 12 WT and acbd6 F0 crispant Danio rerio (zebrafish) embryos were incubated with 20 μM YnMyr for 24 h, either between 48-72 hpf or 96-120 hpf. After labelling, zebrafish were washed twice with fresh egg water, deyolked, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C until further analysis.

Project description:All vertebrates have multiple genes encoding for different CASQ isoforms. Increasing interest has been focused on mammalian and human CASQ genes since mutations of both cardiac (CASQ2) and skeletal (CASQ1) isoforms cause different, and sometime severe, human pathologies Danio rerio (zebrafish) is a powerful model for studying function and mutations of human proteins. In this work expression, biochemical properties and cellular and sub-cellular localization of Danio rerio native CASQ isoforms are investigated. By quantitative PCR three mRNAs were detected in skeletal muscle and one mRNA in heart. Three zebrafish CASQs were identified by mass spectrometry and they share properties with mammalian skeletal and cardiac CASQs. Skeletal calsequestrins were found primarily, but not exclusively, at the sarcomere Z-line level where Terminal Cisternae of Sarcoplasmic reticulum are located.
Project description:Chlorothalonil (2,4,5,6-tetrachloroisophthalonitrile) is a broad spectrum fungicide used extensively in agricultural crops . The aim of this study is to analyse the effects of Chorothalonil on the gene expression profiles in zebrafish (Danio rerio), exposed to two concentrations of the fungicide in the water. Nominal concentrations were 1) Low 0.007mg/l (environmentally relevent) and 2) High 0.035mg/ml . A commercial third generation microarray for Danio rerio (Agielnt V3, 4x44k) was used to identify patterns of gene expression in male livers during a 96h toxicological assay.
