The placenta is the principal regulator of the in utero environment, and disruptions to this environment can result in adverse offspring health outcomes. To better characterize the impact of in utero perturbations, we assessed the influence of known environmental pollutants on the expression of microRNA (miRNA) in placental samples collected from the National Children''s Study (NCS) Vanguard birth cohort. This study analyzed the expression of 654 miRNAs in 110 term placentas. Environmental pollutants measured in these placentas included dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), bisphenol A (BPA), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd). A moderated t-test was used to identify a panel of differentially expressed miRNAs, which were further analyzed using generalized linear models. We observed 112 miRNAs consistently expressed in >70% of the samples. Consistent with the literature, miRNAs located within the imprinted placenta-specific C19MC cluster, specifically mir-517a, mir-517c, mir-522, and mir-23a, are among the top expressed miRNA in our study. We observed a positive association between PBDE 209 and miR-188–5p and an inverse association between PBDE 99 and let-7c. Both PCBs and Cd were positively associated with miR-1537 expression level. In addition, multiple let-7 family members were downregulated with increasing levels of Hg and Pb. We did not observe DDE or BPA levels to be associated with placental miRNA expression. This is the first birth cohort study linking environmental pollutants and placental expression of miRNAs. Our results suggest that placental miRNA profiles may signal in utero exposures to environmental chemicals. 相似文献

A total of 13 polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) from a repeat-enriched library. Polymorphism of each locus was assessed in 96 unrelated individuals from a natural population.
The number of alleles per locus varied from 8 to 45. The ranges of observed and expected heterozygosity were 0.122–0.907 and
0.673–0.965, respectively. Four of the loci (Gmo-G24, Gmo-G40, Gmo-G46 and Gmo-G49) followed Hardy–Weinberg expectation. No evidence for linkage disequilibrium between pairs of loci was found in any combination
of loci pairs, except between Gmo-G40 and Gmo-G43. These microsatellite markers provide useful tools for studies of population genetics, reproductive ecology and for constructing
linkage maps of Atlantic cod.

This report describes a basic unit for microcomputer-assistedrecording of the turbidity of phytoplankton cultures. The unitis applied in several experimental systems for single and multiplebatch and dilution cultures in combination with different typesof control functions. These applications include: (i) singlebatch cultures with double-beam recording, temperature compensation,manual or automatic dilution and sampling; (ii) a multiturbidometerdesigned to record the growth of 16 batch cultures simultaneously;and (iii) a triple cage-culture turbidostat system. Selectedexamples of application with Skeletonema costatum have alsobeen included to illustrate some of the possibilities of suchmicrocomputer-assisted systems. These examples include studiesof ultradian growth rhythms, toxicity testing and lightshadeadaptation. 相似文献
