Project description:Lack of change in microRNA expression in adult mouse liver following treatment with benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), as detected using Agilent miRNA arrays. We have investigated the effect of exposure to 150 mg/kg benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) for 3 days on mRNA and miRNA expression levels in adult mouse liver. We used Agilent miRNA array platforms to assess effects of BaP exposure on miRNA expression levels. Our results indicate a distinct lack of effect of BaP of miRNA expression, despite widespread changes in mRNA levels. Keywords: Toxicology, miRNA
Project description:Lack of change in microRNA expression in adult mouse liver following treatment with benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), as detected using Exiqon miRNA arrays. Adult male mice were exposed to 150 mg/kg benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) or solvent for 3 days and sampled 4 hours after the last dose. MicroRNA expression levels in adult mouse liver were measured using Exiqon miRNA arrays. Our results indicate a distinct lack of effect of BaP of miRNA expression, despite widespread changes in mRNA levels (measured using Agilent arrays). Lack of miRNA changes was confirmed with Agilent miRNA arrays. Keywords: Toxicology, miRNA

Keywords: Toxicology, miRNA Adult male B6C3F1 mice were exposed to a daily dose of corn oil (vehicle control group) or 150 mg/kg BaP (treatment group) for 3 d (n=6 per group). Mice were sacrificed at 4 h or 24 h following the last dose and liver lobes were extracted and flash frozen. Exiqon miRNA arrays were used to examine changes in miRNA transcript levels in random liver lobe sections.
Project description:We have investigated the effect of exposure to 150 mg/kg benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) for 3 days on mRNA and miRNA expression levels in adult mouse liver. We used Agilent miRNA array platforms to assess effects of BaP exposure on miRNA expression levels. Our results indicate a distinct lack of effect of BaP of miRNA expression, despite widespread changes in mRNA levels. The data in the attached array files were used a positive control for the Agilent platform, to indicate that the platform was able to detect significant differences in abundance of miRNA between two samples with great differences in miRNA content.

Project description:Adult male mice were exposed to 150 mg/kg benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) or solvent for 3 days and sampled 4 or 24 hours after the last dose. mRNA expression levels in adult mouse liver were measured using Agilent arrays. We found widespread changes in mRNA in pathways consistent with known response (xenobiotic metabolism, glutathione). We also found that BaP caused changes in the circadian rhythm pathway. We measured miRNA changes in the same samples and found no evidence for any change in transcription of miRNA as a result of the exposure. Keywords: Toxicology, time course

Keywords: Toxicology, time course Adult male B6C3F1 mice were exposed to a daily dose of corn oil (vehicle control group) or 150 mg/kg BaP (treatment group) for 3 days (n=5 per group). Mice were sacrificed at 4 h or 24 h following the last dose and liver lobes were extracted and flash frozen. RNA was extracted from median liver lobes and hybridized to the Agilent 4 x 44K mouse DNA arrays using a randomized block design.

Keywords: Toxicology, miRNA Two reference pools were created from commercially available reference RNA (FirstChoice® mouse Total RNA including the small fraction (Catalogue # AM7800-AM7828, Ambion, Streetsville, ON)). Reference #1 contained equal parts of mouse testicle, ovary and 10-12 day embryo. Reference #2 contained liver, heart and lung. These references were hybridized to a single mouse Agilent 8x15K miRNA array (4 replicates each), normalized by cyclic lowess and analysed with MAANOVA to find differences in the samples.One reference #1 sample was not included in the analysis because it did not pass Agilent quality control metrics.
Project description:We performed microarray-based expression profiling on liver of male zebrafish exposed to 5, 50, and 500 µg/L of benzo-[A]-pyrene (BAP) for 24 and 96 hours, to identify global transcriptional programs and biological pathways involved in BAP-induced adaptive responses under in vivo environment. We analyzed 34 arrays of BAP-treated adult male zebrafish liver and 15 arrays of control fish.
