Project description:This experiment was designed to investigate the effect of Fumonisin B1 exposure on liver gene expression in male mice fed a regular diet (Chow group) and in obese mice which were fed a High fat diet (HFD). The Fumonisin B1 was provided through the drinking water.
Project description:Adult (8 week old) female mice from mixed genetic background (Sv129/C57Bl6J) were either treated with water or with FB1 for one month prior to liver gene expression analysis.
Project description:Purified fumonisin B1 (FB1) mycotoxin was intraperitoneally administered at the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL, 0.2 mg/kg bw/day, group 1X) and 5 and 10-times above (5X and 10X) to male rats, in a controlled (group C), 5-day study (n=8/group, total n=32), to study in vivo hepatotoxic effects.
Project description:Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species. In mammals, this toxin causes multiple organ-specific damages. Among its multiple effects, FB1 promotes hepatotoxicity, is immunotoxic and alters the intestinal functions. Despite its inhibitory effect on de novo ceramide synthesis, the molecular mechanism of FB1 action and toxicity remain unclears. In order to explore the mechanism of FB1 toxicity, we analyzed the transcriptome of the spleen.

Project description:To identify genes underpinning the antagonistic effects of extracellular ATP on programmed cell death induced by fumonisin B1 (FB1), we conducted a kinetic DNA microarray experiment using samples harvested in the critical time window when exogenous ATP is known to suppress cell death. Arabidopsis cell suspension cultures were treated with FB1 at time = 0 h and exogenous ATP added at time = 40 h. Differential gene expression analysis using microarrays was performed on samples harvested at 41, 42, 44, and 48 h.
