Waters (NIEHS)?Toxicogenomics is a new scientific field that elucidates how the entire genome is involved in biological responses of organisms exposed to environmental toxicants/stressors http://www.niehs.nih.gov/multimedia/qt/ntc/ntcaltcaption.movhttp://video.niehs.nih.gov:7075/ramgen/ntc/ntc-eng03.rmhttp://www.niehs.nih.gov/nct/home.htmScientific Areas in ToxicogenomicsScientific Areas in ToxicogenomicsDisease Mechanisms: application of gene expression profiling technologies to define the mechanistic underpinnings of environmentally related diseases; genetic and environmental components of disease, elucidation of disease pathways and networks, and development of disease models. Susceptibility: individual and population susceptibilities to exposure and disease as derived from genetic and environmental analysis and integration; identification of gene targets and factors mediating susceptibility, and gender-, strain- and species-susceptibility.Comparative Genomics: comparative and integrated responses of organisms to environmental stimuli; cross-species comparisons of biological responses to environmental factors at the gene, transcription, and protein level and their integration in model organisms; conserved biological components, pathways and responses to environmental factors; and computational tools to support comparative toxicogenomics.Predictive Toxicology: development and application of gene expression, proteomics and metabolomics technologies in predictive toxicology; development of model systems and research tools, and linkage of predictive responses to disease phenotype.Gene Expression (mRNA) Studies:• Pattern of genes expressed in a cell is characteristic of its current state • Many differences in cell state or type are correlated with changes in mRNA levels of many genes • Expression patterns of many previously uncharacterized genes may provide clues to their possible function by comparison with how known genes act• Gene expression data can be combined with metabolic schemas to understand how pathways are changed under varying conditions (i.e., mechanisms of action)Microarray Experiments:Microarray Experiments:analysis of gene expressionanalysis of gene expression• Genome-wide (e.g., yeast)• Partial selection of known/unknown genes•Normal vs DiseaseExample: Analysis of expression patterns in cancer-Pattern of gene expression-networks-Novel gene association/discovery•Molecular ClassificationExample: Comparison of Breast Tumors-Samples classified into subtypes •Genome-Wide AnalysisExample: Genome-wide expression in S. cerevisiae-Discovery of yet unidentified molecular pathwaysMicroarray TechniqueMicroarray TechniqueMicroarray: A substrate with bound capture probesCapture probe: An oligo/cDNA with gene (DNA sequence) of interestGeneric experimental steps:1.
