Transcription profiling of mouse liver genomic responses to ciguatoxin (P-CTX-1)

ABSTRACT: Ciguatoxins (CTX) are polyether neurotoxins responsible for ciguatera, the most common fish-borne food poisoning in humans. This study characterizes the global transcriptional response of mouse liver to a symptomatic dose (0.26 ng/g) of the highly potent Pacific ciguatoxin-1 (P-CTX-1). At 1 h post exposure 2.4% of features on a 44K whole genome array were differentially expressed (p � 0.0001), increasing to 5.2% at 4 h and decreasing to 1.4% by 24 h post-CTX exposure. Early gene expression was likely influenced prominently by an acute 4 °C decline in core body temperature by 1 h, which resolved by 8 h following exposure. Cytochrome P450s were of particular interest due to their role in xenobiotic metabolism. Twenty-seven genes, mostly members of Cyp2 and Cyp4 families, showed signi
