Results indicated that bulk or nano-TiO2 particles were slightly toxic to soil nematode C. elegans, as measured by reproduction EC50 values ranging from 4 to 32 mg/L. Whole-genome microarray results indicated that the regulation of glutathione-S-transferase gst-3, cytochrome P450 cypp33-c11, stress resistance regulator scl-1, oxidoreductase wah-1, and embryonic development pod-2 genes were significantly affected by nano-sized and bulk TiO2 particles. More specifically, it was determined that anatase particles exerted a greater effect on metabolic pathways, whereas rutile particles had a greater effect on developmental processes. The up-regulation of the pod-2 gene corroborated the phenotypic effect observed in the reproduction test. Our results demonstrated that C. elegans is a good genomic model for nano-TiO2 toxicity assessment. Overall design: TiO2 genomic experiments were performed using three separate biological replicates for each concentration.ENAroundworm, nematode, Nemata, 10^[-9], Peat, n, nematodes, Soils, Humus, roundworms., earth, Dietary Fiber, Rhabditis elegansnematode, Caenorhabditis elegan., Caenorhabditis, Rhabditis elegans, elegan0.00.00.00.00.00falseCaenorhabditis elegansToxicogenomic effects of nano- and bulk TiO2 particles in the soil nematode Carnorhabditis elegans2022-05-122014-07-18PRJNA255402GSE594706239
