Ecdysone-Related Biomarkers of Toxicity in the Model Organism Chironomus riparius: Stage and Sex-Dependent Variations in Gene Expression Profiles
Despite being considered a model organism in toxicity studies, particularly in assessing the environmental impact of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) and other chemicals, the molecular basis of development is largely unknown in Chironomus riparius. We have characterized the expression patterns of important genes involved in the ecdysone pathway from embryos to pupa, but specially during th...
متن کاملThin-layer chromatographic in situ analysis of insect ecdysones via fluorescence-quenching.
The possibility of quantitating insect ecdysones in situ on thin-layer chromatographic plates was examined. Two approaches were evaluated: 1) the induction of ecdysone fluorescence by sulfuric acid treatments and 2) the fluorescence-quenching of fluorescent thin-layer chromatographic plates by ecdysones. The fluorescence-quenching method was found to be most suitable and had a linear response r...

system, leading to a neosynthesis of ecdysone. A dose of 500 ng/pupa was sufficient to obtain synchronous adult development. Ecdysone injected either in whole or in decapitated pupae induced a neosynthesis of ecdysone, starting on day 5 after treatment, and the onset of imaginal development. Thus, we suggest that ecdysone can act independently of the brain, and that its stimulatory action on ec...
متن کاملBicistronic expression of ecdysone-inducible receptors in mammalian cells.
The recent emergence of inducible expression systems for mammalian cells has greatly facilitated the in vivo analysis of gene function. The ecdysone-inducible expression system is particularly attractive because of (i) extremely low basal expression and high-level induced expression, (ii) the lack of pleiotropic effects caused by the inducer or activator, and (iii) the rapid penetrance and clea...
متن کاملActive ion transport and ( 3 - ecdysone induced differentiation of Drosophila melanogaster imaginal discs cultured in vitro
The theory that /?-ecdysone initiates developmental changes during insect metamorphosis by causing an increase in intranuclear levels of potassium, together with a concomitant decrease in sodium levels, has been investigated by two methods. First, imaginal discs from late third instar larvae have been cultured with 0-2 /*g/ml of /?-ecdysone together with inhibitors of active ion transport. Non-...
