Project description:Liver RNA samples from C57BL6 mice drinking Hydrogen water for 4 weeks We used microarrays to detail the gene expression after drinking hydrogen water.
Project description:The effects of the administration of molecular hydrogen-saturated drinking water (hydrogen water) on hepatic gene expression were investigated in rats. Using DNA microarrays, 548 upregulated and 695 downregulated genes were detected in the liver after a 4-week administration of hydrogen water. Gene Ontology analysis revealed that genes for oxidoreduction-related proteins, including hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA reductase, were significantly enriched in the upregulated genes.

Gene Ontology analysis revealed that genes for oxidoreduction-related proteins, including hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA reductase, were significantly enriched in the upregulated genes. 4-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were acclimatized for 4 days in a room maintained at 24 ± 3°C with a relative humidity of 55 ± 15% with a 12-h light-dark cycle (lights on at 7:00, off at 19:00) and were fed ad libitum on a commercial diet (MF, Oriental Yeast Co., Yokohama, Japan). After acclimatization, the rats were divided into two groups (n = 8 per group) with similar mean body weights. During a period of 4 weeks, one group (control group) was supplied with sterilized distilled water and the other (HW group) with hydrogen water produced by MiZ Co. Ltd. (Fujisawa, Japan), which contains 0.7 mM dissolved hydrogen (pH 7.4). All the animals drank water ad libitum. After 4 weeks, each rat was anesthetized with diethyl ether and blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta. The liver was then excised and analyzed the effect of hydrogen water extract administration on hepatic gene expression.
Project description:We treated C56BL/6 male mice with 0.25 ppm iAs in drinking water before breeding with untreated females. GTT and other metabolic assaies were done on F1 offsprings. iAsF1-F showed significantly impared glucose intolerance than conF1-F. RNA-seq was thus applied to the liver samples of F1 generation to explore potential mechanism.
Project description:We evaluated liver tissues of B6D2F1/Crl mice exposed to 0, 40, 200, 600, 2000, or 6000 ppm 1,4-dioxane in drinking water for 7, 28, or 90 days in support of an investigation of the mode of action for 1,4-dioxane-induced murine liver tumors. TempO-Seq technology was used to measure global hepatic gene expression. Exposure-induced transcriptional responses increased by dose and exposure duration, with few differentially expressed genes at 40 and 200 ppm regardless of exposure duration. Pathway enrichment analysis identified significant perturbations in pathways associated with xenobiotic metabolism, complement and coagulation cascades and fatty acid metabolism in 600, 2000, and 6000 ppm groups at all timepoints compared to time-matched control groups. A significant transcriptomic proliferative response was only observed in 6000 ppm exposed mice at 90 days. Differential gene expression and pathway enrichment analysis results suggest 600 ppm as a potential threshold concentration for hepatic transcriptomic response to 1,4-dioxane in female mice.
Project description:We fed mice fot 6 weeks with either a high-fat diet or standard chow with sucrose supplemented drinking water We used microarrays to detail the global changes of gene expression induced by the two dietary regimes in liver, adipose and muscle tissues.
