Lack of hepatic response of microRNA in mice following DB[a,h]A exposure (Agilent expression)

ABSTRACT: Dibenzo[a,h]anthracene DB[a,h]A is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon potent carcinogen. Few studies have investigated the role of DB[a,h]A on mRNA and miRNA expression. In this study a 10-week old male MutaTM Mouse were exposed to 6.25, 12.5, and 25 mg/kg/day DB[a,h]A by oral gavage for 28 consecutive days. DNA adducts were detected in the livers at each DB[a,h]A dose tested, and a dose-dependent increase in lacZ mutants was observed in the same samples. MAANOVA analysis revealed minor changes in the mRNA expression for the two lowest doses. Differential expression of 19 up-regulated and 22 down-regulated transcripts with fold-change > 1.5 (FDR-adjusted P < 0.05) were identified in the 6.25 mg/kg/day DB[a,h]A treatment group. For the 12.5 mg/kg/day treatment group 13 t
