Prenatal bisphenol A (BPA) exposure alters the transcriptome of the neonate rat amygdala in a sex-specific manner: a CLARITY-BPA consortium study

NEUROTOXICOLOGY, 65, 207–220.

By: S. Arambula n, D. Jima n & H. Patisaul n

author keywords: Endocrine disruptor; EDC; Brain; Oxytocin; Sex difference; Estrogen; Androgen
MeSH headings : Amygdala / drug effects; Amygdala / metabolism; Animals; Animals, Newborn; Benzhydryl Compounds / toxicity; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Ethinyl Estradiol / pharmacology; Female; Male; Phenols / toxicity; Pregnancy; Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects / metabolism; Rats; Sex Characteristics; Signal Transduction / drug effects; Transcriptome / drug effects
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that that prenatal BPA exposure can disrupt the transcriptome of the neonate amygdala, at doses below the FDA No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL), in a sex‐specific manner and indicate that the female amygdala may be more sensitive to BPA Exposure during fetal development.

author keywords: chemotaxis; zebrafish; leukocyte; ubiquitin
MeSH headings : Animals; Cell Movement / genetics; Cell Shape; Chemotaxis; Humans; Macrophages / cytology; Macrophages / metabolism; Nerve Tissue Proteins / genetics; Nerve Tissue Proteins / metabolism; RNA, Messenger / genetics; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Tripartite Motif Proteins / genetics; Tripartite Motif Proteins / metabolism; U937 Cells; Ubiquitin-Protein Ligases / genetics; Ubiquitin-Protein Ligases / metabolism; Zebrafish / genetics; Zebrafish / immunology; Zebrafish Proteins / genetics; Zebrafish Proteins / metabolism
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Trim9 mediates cellular movement and migration in Mϕs as well as neurons, and is implicated in axonal migration, and found that M ϕ chemotaxis and cellular architecture are subsequently impaired in vivo. (via Semantic Scholar)

The Arsenic Resistance-Associated Listeria Genomic Island LGI2 Exhibits Sequence and Integration Site Diversity and a Propensity for Three Listeria monocytogenes Clones with Enhanced Virulence

APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY, 83(21).

author keywords: Listeria monocytogenes; arsenic resistance; genomic island; heavy metal resistance; hypervirulent clones
MeSH headings : Arsenic / metabolism; Bacterial Proteins / genetics; Bacterial Proteins / metabolism; Genetic Variation; Genomic Islands; Humans; Listeria monocytogenes / genetics; Listeria monocytogenes / metabolism; Listeria monocytogenes / pathogenicity; Listeriosis / microbiology; Virulence
TL;DR: Investigating 85 arsenic-resistant L. monocytogenes strains indicates that LGI2 has a propensity for certain serotype 4b clones, exhibits content diversity, and is highly promiscuous, suggesting an ability to mobilize various accessory genes into diverse chromosomal loci.
