We have developed a large-scale oligo DNA microarray of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis. We initially obtained expression patterns of 10,000 genes of this animal during its life cycle. We have now constructed a novel risk assessment system for marine chemical pollutants using ascidian DNA microarrays. First, we identify genes upor down-regulated after exposing ascidians to pollutants. Second, we estimate the effects of the pollutants on the ascidians using array data and information about the life stages highly expressing those genes. Third, to verify the estimation, we investigate the inhibitory effects of pollutants on embryogenesis and metamorphosis in ascidians. From DNA microarray data, we estimated that organotin compounds might affect embryogenesis and metamorphosis in ascidians. We performed bioassay using embryo and larvae and found that a low concentration of the chemicals completely inhibited ascidian embryogenesis and metamorphosis. Our new risk assessment system will be a valuable tool for monitoring marine chemical pollutants.","PeriodicalId":14585,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of environmental toxicology","volume":"2 1","pages":"95-98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76314027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We are interested in the influence of nanoparticles on the pulmonary system at a molecular level. In this study, gene expression profiling of the rat lung after intratracheal instillation or whole-body inhalation exposure to ultrafine nickel oxide(Uf-NiO)particles as a positive control of manufactured nanoparticles such as titanium dioxide, C60 fullerene, carbon nanotube were employed to gain insights into these molecular events. In response to Uf-NiO exposure, there were a large number of highly up-regulated genes associated with the inflammatory response and Mmp12 encoding macrophage metalloelastase 12. These results suggest that Uf-NiO particles lead to acute inflammation immediately after intratracheal instillation or for the inhalation exposure period, and the damaged tissues were repaired in a timedependent manner. Analysis by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and transmission electron microscope revealed that the Uf-NiO particles began to be cleared from the lungs immediately after treatment, and that low levels of the particles were present following exposure. These observations were consistent in gene expression profiling. We conclude that gene expression analysis using DNA microarrays can be extremely useful in assessing the influence of utrafine particles on biological systems.","PeriodicalId":14585,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of environmental toxicology","volume":"71 1","pages":"69-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81196262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
