Transcription profiling of male and female sticklebacks exposed to dibenzathracene, oestradiol or a combination of the two for 48 hours

ABSTRACT: Male and five female sticklebacks were exposed to the single compounds dibenzanthracene (DbA, Sigma Aldrich, Cat No D-31400) (40ug/L DbA in 0.0125% acetone) and oestradiol (E2, Sigma, Cat No E-8875) (50 ng/L E2 in 0.0125% acetone) or binary DbA + E2 (40ug/L DbA + 50ng/L E2 in 0.0125% acetone) in addition to a solvent control (acetone, 0.0125%), over a period of 48 hours. In this experiment RNA was pooled from 4 males or 4 females for each sex/exposure group. Pools of treated fish samples were compared with the relevant solvent controls. Dye swaps were carried out such that a total of 12 microarrays were analysed.
