ABSTRACT: Screening of genes that respond to cryopreservation stress using yeast DNA microarray.: We studied the response of yeast cells after cryopreservation treatment using DNA microarray technology. Genes that contribute to "Cell rescue, defense and virulence," "energy," and "metabolism," were significantly induced. These genes were classified as encoding heat shock proteins, oxidative stress scavenger, and enzymes involved in glucose metabolism. The expression profile of mRNA after cryopreservation treatment was calculated to be closer to that following treatment with detergent or plant oils rather than by other stress factors such as heavy metals and agricultural chemicals. These results suggest that the cryopreservation treatment caused damage to the structure of the cell wall and cellular organelles. This was supported by the localization of the products of the induced genes at the cell wall and within cellular organelles. Keywords: stress response

Project description:The number and type of synthetic chemicals that are being produced worldwide continues to increase significantly. While these industrial chemicals provide numerous benefits, there is no doubt that some have potential to damage the environment and health. Toxicity must be evaluated and use must be carefully controlled and monitored in order to minimize potential damage. DNA microarray technology has become an important new technique in toxicology. We are using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism for toxicological study because it is a simple, fast-growing eukaryote that has been thoroughly characterized. In order to evaluate toxicity by newly synthesized or mixture chemicals, toxicity-induced gene expression alteration profiles by known chemicals should be collected. In our study, cells need to be exposed with same experimental cellular condition, semi lethal (IC50), respectively. In the case of round up (CAS; 40465-66-5), the exposure dose was decided as 1500 times dilution by growth curve with continuously diluted exposure. Roundup is the brand name of a systemic, broad-spectrum herbicide contains the active ingredient glyphosate. Glyphosate is classed as a moderately toxic herbicide and in EPA toxicity class III. // Genomic profile of roundup treatment of yeast using DNA microarray analysis: The herbicide Roundup, which contains glyphosate as the active ingredient, was first introduced in 1974 and has enjoyed widespread use in Japan and elsewhere in the world. Roundup-induced reactions occurring in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae may have a predictive value for understanding responses in higher eukaryotes, and we applied yeast DNA microarray analysis for this purpose. Functional characterization of up-regulated open reading frames (ORFs) following Roundup treatment suggests that Roundup affects membrane structures and cellular organelles. Expression profiles induced by treatments with detergents, oils and hydrostatic pressure were similar to those following Roundup treatment based on cluster analysis. Glyphosate alone was not found to inhibit yeast growth at the concentration contained in the Roundup treatment used for microarray analysis. The toxicity of Roundup appeared to be due to detergent in the product. Keywords: stress response
