Toxicogenomic effects of sub-lethal exposures of organophosphates on mouse liver cells [miRNA Expression]

ABSTRACT: In order to examine the long term effects of the OPs, murine liver cells (BNL CL.2, ATCC® TIB-73) have been exposed to sub-lethal doses of three OPs: diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) representative of sarin and soman, O,S-diethyl methylphosphonothioate (OSD) serving as a simulant for VX, and paraoxon as an example of OP insecticides. Dosing levels of these compounds was set at 20% of the IV LD50 for each, with a 4 hour exposure time. Gene arrays and physiological tests were run at three time points following exposure; 2 hours, 2 days, and 2 weeks. The physiological results showed little to no effect upon exposure to sub-lethal dose of OPs. Gene expression and microRNA (miRNA) profiles using GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays and miRNA arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) found that the
