(Submitter supplied) We used a cDNA microarray previously defined for the marine sentinel organism Mytilus galloprovincialis (MytArray1.0) to evaluate the effects of nanomolar doses of combined metal salts (50, 100 and 200 nM mixtures of Cd, Cu and Hg) after 48 hours of mussel exposure. Pointing to the mussel gills, first target of toxic water contaminants and actively proliferating tissue, we found significant dose-related increases of cells with micronuclei and other nuclear abnormalities in the treated mussels, with differences in the bioconcentration of the three metals determined in the mussel pulp by atomic absorption spectrometry. more...

(Submitter supplied) Transcriptional profiling of mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) digestive gland tissue comparing control tissue with tissue obtained from animals exposed for four days to sublethal amounts of Nickel, Chlorpyrifos, or their mixture. Background: Mixtures of chemicals present in aquatic environments may elicit toxicity due to additive or synergistic effects among the constituents or ‘vice versa’ the adverse outcome may be reduced by antagonistic interactions. more...

(Submitter supplied) Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lmk, 1819) is economically relevant bivalve specie. In Adriatic Sea, periodical temperatures increases define optimal growth conditions for Dinoflagellate spp which can reach high concentrations also in filter-feeding mussels, thus causing potential human health problems. The most commonly used methods for the detection of Diarrhoeic Shellfish Poisoning biotoxins have either a low sensitivity or are too expensive to be used for routine tests. more...

(Submitter supplied) We examined gene expression profiling of native mussels that were sampled in early summer 2003 from sites of the Venice lagoon area known to be differently affected by chemical pollution: Sites 1 and 2 close to the industrial district of Marghera and Site 3 close to the Lido lagoon outlet. Site 4, a current mussel farm located offshore, has been chosen as source of reference targets for microarray hybridizations. more...

(Submitter supplied) We examined gene expression profiling of mussels treated with two chemical mixtures composed by heavy metals or organic compounds, both including genotoxic agents (cadmium, benzo[a]pyrene, 1-nitro/amino-pyrene) and other contaminants (cupper, mercury, fluoranthene, TCDD). For digestive gland one RNA sample from control mussels and one from each treatment group (7 mussels) were competitively hybridized on the MytArray 1.0. more...

(Submitter supplied) We examined tissue specificity of gene expression in control mussels. Total RNA was isolated from gills (G), digestive gland (DG), tissues involved in contraction/motility (FML: foot/adductor muscles/ligaments) and reproduction (GM: gonads and mantle) producing four tissue-specific samples. Total RNA was reverse-transcribed and labeled using a Cy3-dCTP and Cy5-dCTP direct incorporation. Each sample was hybridized in competition with the total pool (equal RNA amounts from G, DG, GM and FML) and the relative abundance of each gene was measured by directly comparing fluorescent signals for each probe. more...
