View SamplesDNA microarray analysis has been proved to be an effective method in investigating unintended effects in genetically modified (GM) crops. But the distribution of differentially expressed genes in GM crops remains unclear. So the results of microarray analysis might be invalid for assessment of unintended effects if differentially expressed genes are extremely distributed. We used microarrays to study the distribution pattern of differentially expressed genes in HH1 at different developmental stages and environmental conditions.

View SamplesCotton premature leaf senescence often occurred with an increasing frequency in many cotton growing areas and caused serious reduction in yield and quality of cotton has been one of the impontant factors that restrict severely the production of cotton.Our laboratory studies showed chilling stress is the key factor that induced A. alternatia infection, caused Alternaria disease and then lead to cotton leaf senescence, but the molecular mechanism of cotton premature leaf senscence is still unclear.

View SamplesCotton seeds (Gossypium hirsutum cv. CCRI12) were grown in a growth chamber under 29/25C temperature and a 16:8 h light:dark cycle, and water was added every two days. All plants were used in experiments at the 6-7 fully expanded true leaf stage, which occurred 5-6 weeks after sowing. Cotton bollworm (CBW; Helicoverpa armigera) larvae were reared on an artificial diet and maintained at 27 2C, 75 10% relative humidity, and 14:10 h light:dark in the laboratory. For insect treatment, seven H. armigera larvae (third instars) were placed on a group of three plants, which were kept within plastic bags (30 40 cm), until time of harvest, with samples for each time point maintained separately. Undamaged plants maintained under the same conditions were used as controls. Cotton leaves from control plants and plants exposed to H. armigera were harvested at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h after onset of herbivory. For each treatment group and time point, cotton leaves were harvested from the three plants per treatment group and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. For each time point, three replicate treatments and controls were performed.

View SamplesKMD is genetically engenered to be highly resistant to lepidopteran pests through expressing a synthetic cry1Ab gene and its parent non-transgenic rice is Xiushui 11 (XS11). Many unintended effects have been discovered in KMD. We used microarrays to study the molecular basis for unintended effects of KMD rice.

View SamplesDNA microarray analysis has been proved to be an effective method in investigating unintended effects in genetically modified (GM) crops. However, unintended effects of GM plants in leaves through DNA microarray analysis has many researches, but research of unintended effects of GM plants of the underground portion has few. In this study, DNA microarray analysis was used to detect DEG in underground portions between transgenic rice HH1 and its non-transgenic control MH63.

View SamplesHumans and ecological species have been found to have detectable body burdens of a number of perfluorinated alkyl acids (PFAA) including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). In mouse and rat liver these compounds elicit transcriptional and phenotypic effects similar to peroxisome proliferator chemicals (PPC) that work through the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha). Recent studies indicate that along with PPARalpha other nuclear receptors are required for transcriptional changes in the mouse liver after PFOA exposure including the constitutive activated receptor (CAR) and pregnane X receptor (PXR) that regulate xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes (XME). To determine the potential role of CAR/PXR in mediating effects of PFAAs in rat liver, we performed a meta-analysis of transcript profiles from published studies in which rats were exposed to PFOA or PFOS. We compared the profiles to those produced by exposure to prototypical activators of CAR (Phenobarbital (PB)), PXR (pregnenolone 16 alpha-carbonitrile (PCN)), or PPARalpha (WY-14,643 (WY)). As expected, PFOA and PFOS elicited transcript profile signatures that included many known PPARalpha target genes. Numerous XME genes were also altered by PFOA and PFOS but not WY. These genes exhibited expression changes shared with PB or PCN. Reexamination of the transcript profiles from the livers of chicken or fish exposed to PFAAs indicated that PPARalpha, CAR, and PXR orthologs were not activated. Our results indicate that PFAAs under these experimental conditions activate PPARalpha, CAR, and PXR in rats but not chicken and fish. Lastly, we discuss evidence that human populations with greater CAR expression have lower body burdens of PFAAs.

View SamplesHuman Hepatocellular Carcinoma cells (HepG2) were exposed to six nanomaterials containing either Cerium oxide (CeO2) or Titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles. Three different concentrations were tested: 0.3, 3, or 30 g/mL) for 3 days. Microarray analysis was performed to identify genes differentially expressed following exposure to these chemicals.

View SamplesIn order to gain insight into the effects of aging on susceptibility to environmental toxins, we characterized the expression of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes (XMEs) from the livers of male Brown Norway and F344 rats across the adult lifespan. To examine metabolic processes across lifespan after challenge with a xenobiotic compound, Brown Norway rats were exposed to 1.0 g/kg body weight toluene by oral gavage in corn oil (4ml/kg body weight) or corn oil alone.
