Global genomic methylation levels in the liver and gonads of the three-spine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) after exposure to hexabromocyclododecane and 17-β oestradiol

Reaction of Flax (Linum Usitatissimum L.) Calli Culture to Supplement of Medium by Carbon Nanoparticles

“…in different cells and tissues due to chemicals such as benzopyrene, mercury, cooper, zinc, cadmium, and 5-azacytidine have been observed (Shugart, 1990;Pilsner et al, 2009;Vandegehuchte et al, 2010;Vandegehuchte and Janssen, 2011). Recent evidences have shown significant increase of locus-specific DNA methylation in goldfish (Carassius auratus) in presence of cooper, zinc, lead, cadmium and mixtures of these metals and in three-spine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) in the presence of 17b-oestradiol, HBCD and 5-AdC (Zhou et al, 2001;Aniagu et al, 2008). Regarding calli cultures, methylation rates in genomic DNA from embryogenic callus have been observed to be significantly lower in comparison with those in non-embryogenic calli for different plants (Chakrabarty et al, 2003).…”

Oxidative stress and hypermethylation induced by exposure of Oreochromis niloticus to complex environmental mixtures of river water from Cubatão do Sul, Brazil

“…Several studies report the rates for different types of waste and substances, such as pesticides, and for various tissues and organs such as kidneys, liver and gills (Aniagu et al, 2008;Contractor et al, 2004;Jin et al, 2010;Mirbahai et al, 2011;Shugart, 1990;Strömqvist et al, 2010;Velisek et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2009;Xing et al, 2012;Zhou et al, 2001).…”

Zebrafish as an In Vivo Model to Assess Epigenetic Effects of Ionizing Radiation

“…DNA methylation mechanisms in fish are in general conserved with those of mammals [204,205,206,207]. Most of the effector proteins in the methylation machinery were identified in zebrafish [208].…”
