Expression Profiling of Endocrine-Disrupting Compounds Using a Customized Cyprinus carpio cDNA Microarray

Expression profiling of endocrine-disrupting compounds using a customized Cyprinus carpio cDNA microarray.

Exposure to a variety of anthropogenic compounds has been shown to interfere with normal development, physiology, and reproduction in a wide range of organisms, both in laboratory studies and wildlife. We have developed a Cyprinus carpio cDNA microarray consisting of endocrine-related genes. In the current study, we investigated the applicability of this microarray (1) to study the molecular ef...

Gene expression profiling in polycythemia vera using cDNA microarray technology.

Polycythemia vera (PV) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by an increased proliferation of all three myeloid lineages. The molecular pathogenesis of PV is unknown. Using cDNA microarrays comprising 6000 human genes, we studied the gene expression profile of granulocytes obtained from 11 PV patients compared with granulocytes obtained from healthy individuals. We found that 147 genes...

Fungal Laccases Degradation of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds

Over the past decades, water pollution by trace organic compounds (ng/L) has become one of the key environmental issues in developed countries. This is the case of the emerging contaminants called endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). EDCs are a new class of environmental pollutants able to mimic or antagonize the effects of endogenous hormones, and are recently drawing scientific and public a...
