Project description:This study investigates the effects of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligands TCDD and PCB126 on hepatic gene expression in female sprague dawley rats. Rats were treated with toxicological equivalent doses of TCDD (100ng/kg/day) (Toxic equivalence factor (TEF) = 1.0), PCB126 (30ng, 300ng or 1000ng/kg/day) (TEF = 0.1) or a vehicle control of corn oil:acetone (99:1) 5 days a week for 52 weeks.

There are 3 control chips and representing animals treated with vehicle control. There are 3 biological replicates (3 chips) for each treatment group (eg. TCDD, PCB126), each biological replicate is derived from 2 individual animals. A total of 15 chips were analyzed.
Project description:This study investigates the effects of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligands TCDD, PCB126 and PeCDF; the non-AhR ligand PCB153 and the binary mixture PCB126/PCB153 on hepatic gene expression in female sprague dawley rats. Rats were treated with toxicological equivalent doses of TCDD (100ng/kg), PeCDF (200ng/kg), PCB126 (1000ng/kg) and PCB153 (1000ug/kg) 5 days a week for 13 weeks.

Experiment Overall Design: There are 6 control chips and representing animals treated with vehicle control. There are 3 biological replicates (3 chips) for each treatment group (eg. TCDD, PCB126), each biological replicate is derived from 2 individual animals. A total of 21 chips were analyzed. Intensities were normalized using the GC-Robust Multiarray (GCRMA) method through Genetraffic software package.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of hMADS cells treated or not by TCDD, PCB126 and PCB153. Four-condition experiment: 4 control replicates, 4 TCDD-treated, 4 PCB126-treated, 4 PCB153-treated either undiffrentitaed or differentiated cells.
Project description:Hepatic gene expression was examined every 3 hours for 24 hours following repeated exposure (every 4 days for 28 days) to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). These data were used to examine the effect of repeated TCDD exposure on the circadian rhythmicity of hepatic gene expression in C57BL/6 male mice.
Project description:Formaldehyde (HCHO) is the simplest form of aldehyde and it is naturally present in a wide range of resources. In spite of its cosmopolitan presence, formaldehyde can have deleterious health effects at higher concentrations like leukemia. However, most of the studies carried out so far have focused on the effect of formaldehyde exposure through inhalation and not much has been studied on the its exposure through food. In this context, the present study was carried out to investigate the effect of formaldehyde exposure through drinking water on the liver proteome of rat which would not only be helpful in assessing the impact of formaldehyde on health of organisms but also would be helpful in understanding the mechanism of detoxification.
Project description:Dose-dependent hepatic gene expression was examined following repeated exposure (every 4 days for 28 days) to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). These data were used to examine the effect of repeated TCDD exposure on gene expression in the liver of C57BL/6 male mice.
