OBJECTIVE To study the 1-bromopropane (1-BP)-induced altered gene expression profiles in rat gonad, and explore its male reproductive toxicity-related mRNA changes. METHODS Twelve F344/NSIc male rats were randomly divided into two groups of 6 each. Rats were exposed to either fresh air or 5030 mg/m3 1-BP through inhalation for 8 h. Rats were sacrificed and testes were removed at 16 h after exposure. Global changes in gene expression were determined by microarray analysis using rat genital chip followed by Real-time PCR validation. RESULTS Among the 5082 genes and ESTs in the genital chip, 62 genes were down-regulated and 3 genes were up-regulated by 1-BP, which include synthetic sex hormone-related genes cytochrome P450 aromatase (CYP19a), glutathione S-transferase (GSTT1), creatine kinase (Ckb), myelin and lymphocyte protein (Mal) and S100 calcium-binding protein (S100a4). Classification analysis revealed that the majority of gene changes was involved protein/lipid metabolism, followed by the stress-associated defense response. Real-time PCR confirmed the down-regulation of CYP19a, GSTT1, Mal and S100a4 genes. CONCLUSIONS Acute high-dose exposure to 1-BP causes the down-regulation of testicular CYP19a, S100a4, GSTT1 and Mal. This altered gene profiles might reflect the toxic mechanism which suggested that 1-BP disrupt the metabolics and endocrine balance.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001141 Aromatase An enzyme that catalyzes the desaturation (aromatization) of the ring A of C19 androgens and converts them to C18 estrogens. In this process, the 19-methyl is removed. This enzyme is membrane-bound, located in the endoplasmic reticulum of estrogen-producing cells of ovaries, placenta, testes, adipose, and brain tissues. Aromatase is encoded by the CYP19 gene, and functions in complex with NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE in the cytochrome P-450 system.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
