Proteomic analysis of developmental toxicity by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) may detect gender-related toxic effects in embryos without visible gender characteristics. In the present study, we explored sexing of rat embryo stored in frozen 2-DE samples by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of a male-specific gene sequence, sex determining region Y (Sry). The embryo proper and yolk sac membrane at gestation day 11 from Wistar rats were used for stored embryonic 2-DE samples. The embryonic 2-DE samples were desalted and their total DNA was extracted. The Sry sequence in the extracted DNA was amplified by PCR and the product was analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The embryos with the PCR product of Sry were determined as male, and those without the product were determined as female. It was concluded that stored embryonic 2-DE samples could be used for retrospective examination of gender-related effects in proteomic analysis of developmental toxicity.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004622 Embryo, Mammalian The entity of a developing mammal (MAMMALS), generally from the cleavage of a ZYGOTE to the end of embryonic differentiation of basic structures. For the human embryo, this represents the first two months of intrauterine development preceding the stages of the FETUS.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
