Dose-specific transcriptional responses in thyroid tissue in mice after 131I administration

ABSTRACT: Transcriptomic profiling of normal mouse thyroid tissue following 131At irradiation In the present investigation, microarray analysis was used to monitor transcriptional activity in thyroids in mice 24 h after 131I exposure. The aims of this study were to 1) assess the transcriptional patterns associated with 131I exposure in normal mouse thyroid tissue and 2) identify novel biomarkers for 131I exposure. Methods: Adult BALB/c nude mice were i.v. injected with 13, 130 or 260 kBq of 131I and killed 24h after injection. The corresponding absorbed doses delivered to the thyroid gland were 0.85, 8.5, or 17 Gy. Mock-treated mice were used as controls. Total RNA was extracted from thyroids and processed using MouseRef-8 Whole-Genome Expression BeadChips (Illumina). Nexus Expression 2.0 software w
