Zebrafish short fin mutations in connexin43 lead to aberrant gap junctional intercellular communication.
Mutations in the zebrafish connexin43 (cx43) gene cause the short fin phenotype, indicating that direct cell-cell communication contributes to bone length. Three independently generated cx43 alleles exhibit short segments of variable sizes, suggesting that gap junctional intercellular communication may regulate bone growth. Dye coupling assays showed that all alleles are capable of forming gap ...
متن کاملIdentification of the first Transgenic Aquatic Animal in Iran by PCR-Based Method and Protein Analysis
In the recent years, there is evidence of training a red type of zebrafish which differs from wild-type in body color. There is not any document how it reaches to the ornamental fish farms of Iran but at first, it was a doubt it belongs to a morphotype or genetic modification (GM). First of all, a set primer was designed to validate zebrafish species. Mitochondrial 16srDNA was selected and ampl...
متن کاملEffect of Cadmium Chloride on Maturity of Female Zebrafish (Danio rerio) using Vitellogenin Biomarker and Ovary Histopathology
This study aimed to investigatethe changes in Gonad Somatic Index (GSI), vitellogenin induction and ovarian histopathology in zebrafish (Danio rerio) adult female, as an ecological model in toxicology, after exposure to 0.002, 0.02, 0.2, 2 and 20 µg/L cadmium chloride for 21 days under sub-lethal condition. The results showed that 0.002 to 20 µg/L cadmium chloride had no significant effect on t...
متن کاملHistopathological evaluation of zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae following embryonic exposure to MgO nanoparticles
The aim of this study was to investigate the histopathological changes in zebrafish larvae following embryonic exposure to nanoparticles of magnesium oxide (MgONPs). The toxicity of metal oxide nanoparticles is attracting increasing attention. Among these nanomaterials, MgONPs are particularly interesting as a low cost and environmentally-friendly material. Histological investigations are used ...
متن کاملEffects of Short-Term Exposure to Sublethal Concentrations of Silver Nanoparticles on Histopathology and Electron Microscope Ultrastructure of Zebrafish (Danio Rerio) Gills
Background: The increasing use of nanomaterials and nanoproducts has increased the possibility of contamination of the environment, which may have adverse effects on different organisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of silver nanoparticles on histopathology and gill ultrastructure of zebrafish (Danio rerio) under laboratory conditions. Methods: Zebrafish were exposed to ...
