Mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) digestive gland tissue: Control vs. Nickel, Chlorpyrifos and their mixture.

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional profiling of mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) digestive gland tissue comparing control tissue with tissue obtained from animals exposed for four days to sublethal amounts of Nickel, Chlorpyrifos, or their mixture. Background: Mixtures of chemicals present in aquatic environments may elicit toxicity due to additive or synergistic effects among the constituents or ‘vice versa’ the adverse outcome may be reduced by antagonistic interactions. Deviations from additivity should be explained either by the perturbations of toxicokinetic parameters and/or chemical toxicodynamics. We addressed this important question in marine mussels exposed subchronically to a binary mixture made of two wide-spread pollutants: the heavy metal Nickel and the organic phosphorus pesticide Chlorpyrif
