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:It has been reported that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) act on calcified tissue and suppress osteoblastic activity in the scales of teleost fish. In the present study, the differentially-expressed genes in the zebrafish scales treated with benzo[c]phenanthrene (BcP), a kind of PAH, or its metabolite 3-hydroxybenzo[c]phenanthrene (3-OHBcP) were investigated using GeneChip® oligonucleotide microarrays.
Project description:Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are diverse environmental pollutants associated with adverse human health effects. Many studies focus on the carcinogenic effects of a limited number of PAHs and there is an increasing need to understand mechanisms of developmental toxicity of more varied yet environmentally relevant PAHs. A previous study characterized the developmental toxicity of 123 PAHs in zebrafish. Based on phenotypic responses ranging from complete inactivity to acute mortality, we classified these PAHs into eight bins, selected 16 representative PAHs, and exposed developing zebrafish to the concentration of each PAH that induced 80% phenotypic effect. We conducted RNA sequencing at 48 h post fertilization to identify gene expression changes as a result of PAH exposure.
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: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:Background: A structurally diverse group of chemicals, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), can inappropriately activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and lead to adverse health effects. In the zebrafish model, repression of sox9b has a causal role in several AHR-mediated toxic responses, including craniofacial cartilage malformations; however, the mechanism of sox9b repression remains unknown. We previously identified a long non-coding RNA, slincR, which is increased (in an AHR-dependent manner) by multiple AHR ligands and is required for the AHR-activated repression of sox9b. Objective: Enhance our understanding of the signaling events downstream of AHR activation that contribute to toxic responses. To understand slincR’s role in the TCDD-induced toxicity pathway, we performed RNA-sequencing and gene ontology enrichment analysis on 48 hpf control and slincR morphants exposed to 0.1% DMSO or 1 ng/mL TCDD.
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.
