Project description:Dibutyl phthalate was administered to pregnant Sprague Dawley rats from gestational days 16-20 at either a 100 mg/kg/day or 500 mg/kg/day dose level. This timeframe covers the reproductive masculinization window which corresponds to increased androgen signalling. Dibutyl phthalate has been shown to disrupt testosterone production leading to male reproductive abnormalities. As such, we selected this exposure window for our study and examined gene expression changes in the male rat foreskin, which expresses the androgen receptor. We collected tissue samples at both gestational day 20 to identify gene expression changes immediately after exposure, and postnatal day 5 to identify gene expression changes persisting after birth using microarray analysis (Illumina RatRef 12 Bead Chips). To determine whether gene expression changes were brought on by decreased androgen signalling or additional effects of dibutyl phthalate exposure, we exposed rats to the potent androgen receptor antagonist flutamide (5 mg/kg/day) during the same period of development. Gene expression changes were compared to determine which were brought on by disruption of androgen signalling and which were the result of other aspects of chemical exposure. Two foreskin samples per litter were pooled for gene expression microarray analysis using the Illumina ratRef-12 v1.0 expression beadchip.

The flutamide exposure study consisted of seven control dams administered corn oil and seven dams treated with 5 mg/kg/day flutamide. Two foreskin samples per litter were pooled for gene expression microarray analysis using the Affymetrix Gene 1.0 ST Array.

Project description:High dose level dibutyl phthalate (DBP) exposure of fetal rat testes in vivo inhibits testosterone production (i.e. endocrine disruption). Here, fetal testis mRNA levels were profiled following exposure to a DBP dose level that did not significantly reduce testosterone levels. The goal was to identify the constellation of gene expression changes that do not correlate with endocrine disruption.

Project description:High dose level dibutyl phthalate (DBP) exposure of fetal rat testes in vivo inhibits testosterone production (i.e. endocrine disruption). Here, fetal testis mRNA levels were profiled following exposure to a DBP dose level that did not significantly reduce testosterone levels. The goal was to identify the constellation of gene expression changes that do not correlate with endocrine disruption. Fischer 344 rats were exposed via oral gavage of the dam to vehicle (corn oil) or 50 mg/kg (body weight) DBP daily from gestational day (GD) 12 to 20. The day after mating was defined as gestational day 0. Six hours after the final exposure on GD20, fetal testes were dissected and mRNA levels quantified using Affymetrix Rat Expression 230 2.0 microarrays.

Project description:In rodent models, phthalate exposure alters both the fetal and pubertal testis, but the resulting histopathological changes are divergent. This suggests that the underlying molecular and cellular phthalate mechanism may be age-dependent. Using genome-wide expression profiling of acutely-exposed rats, the initial molecular response in pubertal rat testis following in vivo phthalate exposure was determined. For this study, postnatal day 28 rats were exposed to a single dose of 1 g/kg mono-(2-ethyl)hexyl phthalate (MEHP) and assayed at 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12 hrs thereafter using Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Arrays.
